“Queen of the South” has got us hooked! Last week we saw how after Camila's (Verónica Falcón) failed attempt to kill " The Birdman" (Brent Smiga), Epifanio (Joaquim de Almeida) convinces her to return to Mexico so he can protect her. In grave danger, Teresa (Alice Braga) took Maria (Lanell Pena) and her son, Angel (Jeremy Becerra), through the tunnel to Mexico.

In this week’s episode, “Punto sin Retorno,” Camila's operation goes underground when James (Peter Gadiot) finally sets out to kill "The Birdman" in a strategic move to align with the Jimenez Cartel. Fed up, Brenda (Justina Machado) finds herself caught in the crossfire of an escalating drug cartel war. Meanwhile, Epifanio struggles to keep his campaign moving while dodging public rumors of his link to the drug trade violence.
