Camila’s recent success isn’t without its drawbacks. While she’s been masterful at reconstructing her empire after Epifanio tried to take a sledgehammer to it, gaining product and a route to sell through very quickly, Camila is now on the offensive and that parts a target on her back. The destruction of Epifanio’s tunnel is a warning shot to her husband that she’s back on her feet and ready for full combat, which means that she has to be careful with her next move. Even if she’s brimming with confidence, she can’t afford to overplay her hand and put her business (or her life) in danger, but playing things too safe could halt the momentum she’s worked hard to build up again.
On the next episode of Queen of the South, Camila receives an invitation from Manuel to his godson’s wedding in Sinaloa, something that puts her in a predicament. While Manuel promises to protect her the entire time she’s in town, there are quite a few people in Sinaloa who want nothing more than to see her fall and to be the one to bring her down themselves; Camila just now got herself back to where she wanted to be and by going to Sinaloa, she would be putting her entire empire in Epifanio’s crosshairs. Yet Camila’s ego won’t let her stay away from the lion’s den, not when that would essentially be allowing Epifanio to control her from hundreds of miles away and not when her reputation would take a serious hit if she were to be perceived as weak or afraid. Camila faces enough difficulties being a woman in a male-dominated industry that allowing her name to be linked to negative female stereotypes isn’t going to do, even if she has to sometimes throw herself into risky situations that could come back to bite her.
Elsewhere on Queen of the South, Teresa’s loyalties are tested when she’s tasked by Camila with taking out a DEA mole and finds herself cornered by Pote regarding her recent whereabouts, while Epifanio survives an assassination attempt.
Queen of the South airs Thursdays at 10:00 on USA.
Do you think Teresa would ever be willing to flip on Camila? Would Camila be open to the possibility of Teresa bringing Guero into the fold? How will Epifanio deal with the attempt on his life?
