Diamond Sampson faces isolation as alliances crumble, while Shanti Page breaks away to establish independent power. Mireya makes a life-altering decision that erases any remaining distance between her and the violence surrounding Miguel Garcia and Tommy—crossing a threshold she can never return from.
