For Teresa, that means balancing her friendship with Brenda with her obligation to stay loyal to Camila.
While driving her friend to a hotel, Teresa explains why shes not staying with her.
She reveals shes been working for Camila Vargas, which, of course, sets Brenda off.

She cant believe Teresa would work for the woman tangentially responsible for the deaths of their men.
Those are all smart points, but Teresa has no choice right now.
She has to stick with Camila and hope she can find a way out in the future.
At the moment, though, shes back to learning the ropes with James.
Im going to kill someone, he says.
Back in Mexico, Cesar and Epifanio are discussing what to do about Camilas clear betrayal.
The difficult part is parsing out her intentions.
She let Cesar go, apparently to test his loyalty, but is that truly her motivation?
Epifanio isnt buying it.
He orders Cesar to stop drug shipments to Camila immediately.
Epifanio taking this route in dealing with Camila is about more than just angling for control over his wife.
Its about keeping control ofhiscartel.
Basically, hes saying nobody can do this like I do.
After all, this isnt your average drug-running job; its a fancy-party stakeout job.
James takes her to meet his girlfriend Kim, a real Southern belle complete with accent and blonde hair.
Cocktail dresses and sniper rifles: This is Teresas world now.
We also get a little tease during this scene of something more going on with James and Kim.
While hes readying his equipment, Kims phone receives a text.
He takes a glance at it.
All it says is Kim are we going out tonight?
Then she realizes hes worried about that oil guy, and tells him to just relax.
Seems easy enough, but as the party unfolds, the situation challenges Teresas loyalty and morality.
James later sends Teresa into the master bedroom to plant the equipment in a floor grate.
When Teresa returns to the car, she asks him why he didnt shoot Eric.
I said I was going to kill someone.
Just not tonight, he responds.
Hes just planning for the future, proving he can get to him.
This is your world now, he repeats to her, over and over again.
She needs to accept it, otherwise shell end up dead herself.
Either way, she needs to be careful.
Brenda cant just hole up in a motel and hope everything sorts itself out.
Essentially, everything is getting more complicated for everyone.
Im really starting to like you, she says to Teresa, more a threat than a compliment.
