* James tells Teresa he will help her take down Cortez but then he will leave the operation as he cannot work for her as she keeps doubting his loyalty after everything they have been through together. Teresa tries to stop him but he leaves, a tear falls down her cheek.

* The maid puts arsenic in Cortez's wine, but it isn't enough to kill him.

* Teresa goes to talk to James who is smoking by the fence. She asks him not to leave as he helped build the business and she wants him to run Phoenix. He wants to know if this is just a business offer and she replies with a breaking voice that she does not want to lose him. James says he will think about it.

* Javier Jimenez joins the team to help with the rescue of George and the attack on Cortez. He is a cousin of Boaz. Javier and James know each other and James calls Javier a clown as apparently he is not impressed with him.
