Detailed Summary[]
A flashback depicts Isabella and Jesus spar together using blindfolds. Soon, Chiu and Silencio spar with each other, and Silencio manages to beat his master. Back in the present, Silencio awakens from his dream and is scolded by Isabella. Driving past the police car with the siblings and company is Garabina who is driving to San Simon. En route to the town, she receives a telepathic message from Alejandra who is revealed to have some history with her.
That morning, El Balde and his men take over San Simon and covert it to Balde's new HQ. Back to the sibling's group, they arrive at the Curandera house and see that something's amidst. Brister and Garcia investigate but find nothing, so they all take shelter there. Deducing that the attack on the town is connected to their master's death, Brister proposes he get in touch with his superiors back in the USA. At that moment a phone rings, but is nowhere in sight. Silencio manages to find the phone in the darkroom in the back. When Brister answers it there's no response, Garcia then tries but they hang up on her. So Brister contacts his HQ and asks for his superior Larry. Outside the house, a forlorn Lina confines her emotions to Silencio. He, on the other hand, is uncertain whether to take Lina's offer to escape or stay with his family and the officers. Back to Brister who hangs up the phone on his superior who doesn't believe his story without evidence. To help prove their claims, Brister takes a camera from the darkroom to use to collect evidence to prove their case.
Back in San Simon, Garabina arrives in town and is soon confronted by Balde. The siblings' group arrives back in their home and finds an old man there. The siblings approach the old man he attacks the group and demands to know what they did to his brother Chiu. Meanwhile, in the San Simon market area, Nachito informs Balde that the town mayor and elders want to call a truce him. But Balde refuses to agree to a truce, but requests that they are brought to the town center and also asks if an amp and mic still work. Meanwhile, the siblings and others are acquainted with Lo who faints due to fatigue. While Brister takes pictures of San Simon, he witnesses a lynching of the mayor in the town center. This is interrupted by an owl that resembles the one that was pinned on the Curandera house door. Hearing this from him, Garcia thinks that Brister is delirious from hunger. Brister hands the camera over to Garcia who then witnesses Balde's lynching of the mayor play out. Once the mayor is dealt with, Garabina is next. Elsewhere, Lo is hydrated and asks to learn of his brother's demise.
Just then, Garcia and Brister take the cop car into town to rescue Garabina, while the siblings perform the Bai Si Tea Ceremony in Chiu's honor. They also ask Lo to be their new teacher; he agrees and trains them. After they show Lo their moves, he has them do blindfold training and conditions them to fight with full force. In San Simon, Garcia and Brister devise their own ways to rescue Garabino, while Balde interrogates her. Before Balde could finish Garabina off, she's rescued by the police officers and taken to safety out of town. Knowing that her end will soon come, Garabina has Garcia take her remaining magic mushrooms and she ingests one to listen to the "Little Saints". As dusk settles, Isabella and Jesus finish their exhausting training, while Silencio continues his with Lo. Returning to Garcia's group, she and Garabina listen to Garabina's words as Lo and Silencio perform meditative arts together.
