Reina becomes a watchman and takes on a moralizing role within the group. Lino struggles to find new job opportunities, while Amador drowns his sorrows in alcohol and holds onto the hope of his wife's return. José, who is married to Ana, must confront his own insecurities as his wife becomes the primary breadwinner.
