Punto sin Retorno shifts gears.

Hes loading up his sniper rifle at home, scaring the hell out of his girlfriend, Kim.

Hes comforting, but also urgent.

He tells her she needs to, once again, meet him at the trailer later that day.

She refuses, saying she cant live like this, on the run all the time.

He promises it wont always be like this, that this time is different because bad menwillcome for them.

These are common crime-drama tropes, but theyre tropes for a reason: They sure are effective.

Speaking of survival, Teresa makes a bold move early in the episode.

She meets with Camila before going on her deliveries and tells her she wants out of the operation.

Camila has generally been kind to her so far, but this request is too much.

Its like Teresa has forgotten shes dealing with a legit drug queenpin.

Therefore, Teresa needs another plan.

Shes not heading out to make her deliveries, though.

Instead, she goes to Brenda and tells her its time to pack her bags.

Shes going to get them papers so they can finally disappear.

How exactly is she going to make that happen?

Well, the plan involves Brenda, Eric, and the Vargas cartels notebook.

Eric calls Manuel, the head of the Jimenez cartel, and tells him about Brenda.

Everything seems to be in place.

But things can only seem good for so long onQueen of the South.

He guns down the two bodyguards outside the house and then activates the mechanism that aggravates the birds.

Kim isnt there, though.

As usual, hes protecting her for one reason or another.

Alas, Victor says the numbers cant possibly be bank accounts.

So what could they be?

Sure enough, it looks like they point to the locations of the cartels many stash houses.

Obviously, thats hugely valuable information.

At the same time, the Jimenez cartel is hitting back.

The retaliation for James killing Eric is coming fast.

Punto sin Retorno ends with the characters in flux.

She meets with Manuel to tell him shewantedthese attacks on Epifanios distribution centers.

Thats why she called for the hit on Birdman.

He was a catalyst for change.

Of course, Epifanio isnt the only threat to Camilas operation.

Queen of the Southhas constructed a debut season that rivals some of the best new shows of 2016.

Now lets see if it can stick the landing.
