The Skin I'm In: The Incident with Norma and Vicente Norma becomes mentally unstable and is on a variety of medications to keep her madness at bay. Vicente is a young man who works with his mother, designs clothing, does drugs, and lives a carefree lifestyle. He also has feelings for his gay coworker Cristina. When Norma discovers that Cristina is gay, she goes crazy and kills him. She is then committed to a mental hospital. Now back to Vicente...he too is affected by Norma's actions and decides to kill himself. But he doesn't know that Cristina is still alive and well. She hides from everyone including Vicente because she knows that he would not be able to handle learning that she was gay even though they had a child together. She gives birth to their son and names him Daniel. Years later, Daniel grows up to be a happy young man. He meets someone and falls in love and they get married. But his wife isn't really his wife because he only knew her for a short time before meeting someone new. His new wife doesn't like this and tries to force him to leave but fails. She then commits suicide. This leaves young Daniel heartbroken and confused as to why people would do such things to him just because they could. This is when we find out that Cristina is his mother and she tried to tell him something by giving him a necklace but he didn't understand what she meant by this so he pushed her away.
