A devastating earthquake has hit Palomar, flattening most of it and killing dozens as its residents band together and help one another. Chelo finds out the shocking cause of her recurring stomach pain thanks to curandera Xiohmara. A trio of mob related killers posing as relief workers attempt to murder Gorgo but are foiled. Luba, realizing the killers were also after her, decides she has to leave Palomar in order to protect her family and fix once and for all the problem she thought she had escaped twenty years before when she first arrived.
