Alex wants to mechanize the sugar-harvest, while Pancho wants to remain loyal to the manual cutters. Frank agrees with Alex, the women with Pancho. Playboy Enrique, who casually promised his vote to both parents, ultimately casts the decisive vote for Alex. His determination to grow up came from the shock when Amalai, who guessed Pancho's terminal condition, made him disclose his cancer to the family. Jaime decides to marry early so the patriarch can still attend. Sheriff Vince Grasso grants Alex enough time after Quinones's half-eaten corpse is found to switch the murder gun in his safe for a new one.
