President Hidalgo has fallen into a drug-induced coma and Lily has made the most of this opportunity to finally consolidate her powers as the First Lady of the Republic and as the country's drug baroness, along with Arturo. To ensure their success, Renato puts a bounty on Cardo and his family in order to finally rid them of the biggest thorn on their side.
