  • Emilio is acting suspiciously. He's going to Prague.
  • Emilio is planning to go away with Rose the following week.
  • Rafael is a suspect in the Sin Rostro case.
  • The Marbella is firing people. Jane and Lina fight over the layoffs.
  • Frankie, Lina, and Luca are sort of all implying that Jane is in a different societal class now, creating a divide between Jane and her friends. Jane originally got Frankie her job at The Marbella.

  • Ivan escapes amidst the chaos of the hurricane.
  • Jane mentions to Rafael that she and Frankie go way back.
