One week prior to the week for the induction ceremony, one energizing morning in Slovenia, Ephraim summons everyone to continue their secret meeting dealing with their privilege on corrupting and exploiting San Carmelo. Fortunately, Audra Mari arrives first in the central park in order to further discuss their motives on being their associate stockholders respectively. The moment she is about to lay down the grounds, Lucero, Patricio, and Jesy have arrived for them to find another place and further converse about their agenda. Once they have reached the classy fine dining restaurant, Audra Mari started to reveal their key objective to promulgate the drug cartel and eliminate the non-profitable and charitable organizations by which San Carmelo Group of Companies has accredited. In the height of their conversation, Patricio reveals their families which they are assigned as associate stockholders have charitable institutions. As a result of Patricio’s revelation, Audra Mari easily grasped such solution to their problem.

As their discourse continues, Lucero names these charitable organizations which these families manage as the major impediments for their intention of fostering the legalization of prohibited drugs in Kartilla de Andalucia. For a reason, when Patricio discovers the documents concerning those organizations, these organizations like LifeBox Ministry and World Vision have a joint work with a Christian radio station of further communicating Christ to world. As a consequence, he continues discipleship is the name of the game wherein every individual residing in their beloved nation will become true Christian believers who will intentionally honor God and make disciples. In the long run, their pursuit for advocating drug cartel will be completely useless. Similarly, the act of compromising the non-negotiable matters will be pointless.

In Slovenia, on the first day of the induction month, although everyone is absolutely preoccupied with the recognition of Rosanna and Kayla as the new board members of San Carmelo, Lucero, the Altamirano’s step-sister, begins her day preparing their things for the event. In the midst of the preparation and unexpected rush, she finds out and confirms the Altamirano siblings have already inherited the cocoa plantation and the winery respectively. Throughout those minutes, Lucero’s attitude and behavior instantly shift to overthrow them from San Carmelo. Without too much hesitation, even though the Altamirano sisters are in their rooms, she phones Patricio to meet her in Azerbaijan. Afterwards, she immediately leaves them a note telling them she needs to proceed to the venue because the organizers summon her to check and approve the contents of their profiles. Without their knowledge, Lucero aims to intentionally sabotage them once they have respectively assumes their duties and responsibilities in San Carmelo. In addition to it, she yearns to purposefully steal their slots in San Carmelo.

In Azerbaijan, while everyone is still busy with the program, Lucero meets Patricio, the Del Carmen’s family-friend, deliberately with some important matters. At the start of their discourse, Lucero reveals to Patricio to be even more observant with Warren and Maxene. For a reason, they might become the members of the San Carmelo board. During their discussion, Lucero unravels the fact which the Altamirano siblings are going to hold their positions in the group of companies. In response to the disclosure, Patricio begins to question their first move on how they would respond to the situation in order to prepare himself. As a response to his question, Lucero replies to be closely keen with them and they will secretly attack them until those powerful families become paralyzed and powerless. Apparently, in the middle of their discussion, Ephraim, the Buenaventura’s cousin, has seen them and shares to them the same situation he currently experiences. Ephraim discloses to them regarding with the inheritance of Franco and Hector will have. Prior to the induction, he discovers they will possess and subdue over the hotel and resort and the school respectively which were accredited by San Carmelo. Sadly, none of the families know their trusted associate stockholders are pretending to be benevolent with them but they are planning to assault them after the induction ceremony. To close their table talk, Ephraim informs them to meet at the port during the second week of the induction ceremony.
