Camila entered the house to find Teresa and James had returned. The plan with King George was put into motion. She went straight to her office, opened the desk drawer, and hid the papers inside. She didn't want them to know what had happened. Rosario most likely would go crazy if she found out.

Rosario walked in soon after she put the papers into her drawer. Camila kept a straight face. They were at war now. There was no time to waste. She needed to do something that would end "his" business.

"So, what happened?" Rosario asked.

"He was an asshole. Like always," Camila answered.

"That's fucking it. I swear to god I'm-"

"Rosario, there's nothing you can do about it. Let it go. He'll always be the same."

Rosario took a deep breath and went to go make Camila some tea to help her relax. Camila and Teresa would be heading out to a party that her lawyer was throwing. Teresa went to speak with Van Awken's wife.

Teresa went upstairs and into one of the rooms. There she ran into the living dead. Her lover, Güero, was alive. She was so happy to see him. Teresa told him to leave while he could or Camila would have him killed.

Camila went to discuss a client with someone who knew them well to tell them what they should know. Teresa snuck out and went to find Güero at the apartment he was staying in. No one could know about it.

The following day, Camila took James and Teresa along with Poté to Manuel Jimenez's farm. There was a race, Camila was going to rig the race to win the money to help keep the business running. The money was needed to buy the product they needed.

Poté switched out the horses' food and put drugs so they would slow down. One little girl didn't feed her horse because she was scared the horse would bite her. Unfortunately, another girl dropped hers. One of the horses didn't get their medicine.

James headed out to the field and set up his gun. He put a rubber bullet in as to not hurt the horse if he hit it. He would only use the gun if necessary to throw off the other horse.

Camila had always loved horses. Her favorites were pure white and pure black. To her, they were absolutely beautiful. She loved watching them run free.

Camila's horse won the race and they won twelve million. The man who counted the money was about to hand it to them when his daughter walked in. She ended up spoiling the plan. Teresa took it upon herself to hush him up by giving him one million.

Later, Camila has a talk with her about that. She wasn't pleased. James brought in a bag with some of the money in it. Camila old Teresa to not make that mistake again. Camila had a long talk with Rosario after that. It always made her feel better to talk to her.

Several days later, Camila and Manuel formed a partnership, even though they used to be enemies. Camila was pleased with the partnership and so was Manuel. However, his brother Boaz was not pleased that he was being given the cold shoulder.

"I can assure you personal safety," Manuel told Camila.

"I'll see you there," Camila said.

Camila has been invited to his go son's wedding. The one thing that bothered her was that it was in Sinaloa where her husband was. She wasn't the only one to notice that. Boaz had known he would be there as well.
