Miguel's Casa, a.k.a. the Casa de Queso. "That idiot could ruin everything you and your uncle created," Marlene says, getting ready for bed. Miguel shrugs that Ernesto is all talk. He can handle him. "I know how you could handle him," Marlene suggests darkly. "You want me to blow his brains out?" Miguel asks, taking off his shirt. "I'm up here!" his Mole yells, feeling ignored. "Those abs aren't half the talent that I am! I was trained at the Royal Academy!" Marlene pulls the duvet from the bed. "Your brother could [kill Ernesto] and not even lose a night's sleep," she says. She doesn't want to lose what they have, she tells him. Miguel says nothing. Marlene yammers on and on, wondering why Tio Jorge would put Ernesto in charge instead of Miguel. "Because of my gringa wife?" he offers, smiling at her. They chuckle. "I know what you uncle thinks about me, Mickey. Do you know what he thinks about you?" she asks. But we are never to know, because this is where we cut to...

...the offices of the DEA. Delia's filling her superior in on the scoop about El Huevudo, a.k.a. Ernesto Romo. As far as she knows, he runs a weed plantation. "He's not even on the chart. Now he's supposed to be the majordomo?" her boss asks. He has no name. He never gets a name. She just calls him "Boss." I'm going to call him Hank. Delia shrugs that Rafael Chapa hasn't steered them wrong yet. She wants to go to the meeting. Hank just looks at their chart. He wants to know where "Tio" Jorge Perez is. "He's left Mexico," Delia says. "We don't know that," Hank tells her. Delia shrugs that, wherever Tio Jorge is, his organization continues to run "multi-tons of coke, heroin, marijuana, right past [their] window." It seems worth it to take the meeting, she tells him. Hank reminds her that they can get in real trouble if the Mexico City office finds out they're dealing with a Mexican cop. A Mexican cop who, conveniently enough, is on the phone for Delia right now! Hank wearily suggests that Delia put him on speakerphone. Rafael has good news: Miguel has agreed to meet them. "This is what all you've been waiting for, huh?" Rafael crows. He tells Delia to come to the meeting and asks her to be sure to "bring the gringo," or Miguel will be suspicious.
