Episode 4 of Griselda opens with a tense scene at the car wash, where Griselda and her son stand, shadows of fear cast across their faces. The alliance between Papo and her former partner, along with their agreement to Rafa's deal, has left Griselda shaken to the core. Yet, amidst the trepidation, a steely determination glimmers in her eyes.
Meanwhile, CENTAC rises to the forefront, a newly formed task force launched with the sole purpose of combating the drug epidemic in Miami. Diaz and June, a formidable pair, lead the charge with determination and resolve.
Griselda, unwavering in her resolve, relocates her family to a new house, plotting her next move against German and Papo. She leaves the girls behind to manage the old house, checking in on them regularly. The girls, fed up with the male-dominated hierarchy and its abuses, rally around Griselda, cheering her on in her bid to reclaim her territory.
With her new plan in motion, Griselda contacts Dario, informing him of their safe arrival at the new house and instructing him to execute her pending orders. Dario, obedient to the task, swiftly eliminates German, gunning him down at a convenience store. As for Papo, Chucho deals a devastating blow, bombing his house. Despite Griselda's efforts to shield her children from the violence, the truth of her world cannot be hidden.
Upon completing his mission, Dario returns to the house, greeted with warmth and affection by Griselda. Their relationship has evolved, and they are now openly dating, a testament to their shared resolve and mutual respect.
Rafa, learning of German's demise through the news, connects the dots and realizes Griselda's hand in the matter. He views her as a persistent headache, yet he's at a loss as to how to deal with her. Griselda's actions are sending a clear message, and Rafa, feeling the pressure, arranges a meeting with her. But his courage fails him, and he backs out at the last moment. Instead, he informs Griselda that Papo remains alive, a revelation that shakes her to the core. The man who perished in the blast was, in fact, Papo's father, leaving Griselda to grapple with the realization that her enemy is still at large.
Rafa's assurances echo in Griselda's ears as she contemplates Papo's next move. She believes the new house is a impregnable fortress, shielding her from Papo's direct wrath. Little does she know, Papo has other plans in mind—targeting the vulnerable women in the neighboring abode. By the time Griselda orders Dario to scout the premises, the damage is already done. The women lie lifeless, and the house is engulfed in flames, a ghastly testament to Papo's brutality.
Griselda mourns the loss of her friends and all those innocent lives taken too soon. Her heart heavy with grief, she receives a call from Rivi, who informs her he's laying low in California. He congratulates her on eliminating German and Papo, offering his assistance and urging her to call when she's ready.
After a heartfelt conversation with one of the bereaved mothers, Griselda swears vengeance, her resolve hardening like steel. Meanwhile, CENTAC takes charge of the investigation, and Diaz sees an opportunity for personal gain. As the drug war intensifies, they jump into action, determined to solve the case.
June's suspicions deepen as she uncovers evidence pointing to a high-ranking female figure orchestrating the drug fiasco. She shares her theory with Diaz, who, though skeptical, is willing to listen and investigate. After a tense exchange with June, Diaz manages to coerce information from a reluctant source, who reveals the truth about Griselda—aka The Godmother.
Armed with Rivi's intel, Griselda executes a precision strike, taking down one of Papo's loyal men with her own hands. She welcomes new recruits to her team, delivering an impassioned speech about seizing what they want and standing up for themselves. These men, who have known only hardship and struggle, find solace in her words. Griselda, a survivor who has been there and done that, offers them a chance at a better life, a ray of hope in their dark world.
Determined to reclaim her territory, Griselda informs Dario and Arturo of her plan to launch targeted attacks against Rafa and Papo. Arturo is apprehensive, but Dario and Griselda persuade him with their resolve and purpose. Together, they forge a path of vengeance and redemption, ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
Speaking of Rafa, he forged an alliance with Papo, plotting a bold strike against Griselda. However, their attack was thwarted by Griselda's swift and decisive counterstrike, leaving them stunned as she seized nearly all of their cocaine. Griselda and her men pressed their advantage, relentlessly attacking until Rafa called for a truce.
Meanwhile, Dario and Arturo fretted over the growing power Griselda wielded, yet they retained faith in her abilities. Little did they know that Griselda harbored a secret - she was pregnant. She entrusted her son, Uber, with keeping this news from Dario, fearing his reaction.
Faced with Griselda's rising menace, Rafa sought the aid of Marta, inquiring if her cousin and his army could lend a helping hand. However, Rafa's pride got in the way, and he refused to acknowledge that a woman had bested him. He contacted Griselda, offering to cede her territory and convincing Papo to let bygones be bygones.
Griselda, however, was not one to be easily swayed. She promised to give her answer in the morning and sought the counsel of Dario and Arturo. The two men were hesitant to align with Griselda, especially after learning of her pregnancy through Uber. Dario was particularly concerned, wanting to protect her and their unborn child.
Unbeknownst to them, Griselda had her sights set on Miami, and she was determined to seize control, regardless of the obstacles. She reached out to Rivi, and he, knowing her intentions, subtly encouraged her to follow her heart. That night, Griselda staged a ritualistic burning of Rafa and Papo's cocaine before her men, a symbolic gesture of her rising power.
Then, she ordered one of her trusted lieutenants to eliminate Papo and avenge his cousin's honor. The following morning, Papo was assassinated in broad daylight at the airport, a bold and brazen move that sent shockwaves through their underworld. The assassin was apprehended, but he remained loyal to Griselda, refusing to betray her.
Rafa received Griselda's message, along with a golden sword bearing a Spanish inscription that translated to "Let's make gold together." She called him, offering a new partnership - one where he would sell his cocaine exclusively through her channels. The stage was set for a new era of power struggles and alliances in their criminal underworld.
They arranged a meeting with Fabio Ochoa, and to everyone's surprise, Griselda arrived accompanied by Arturo. Suddenly, Rafa drew his gun and fired at Arturo, leaving him slumped on the ground in front of a horrified Griselda. She stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just transpired. Fabio, however, remained calm and collected, his tone businesslike as he coldly informed Griselda that this was the price she must pay for her meddling. With that, he seamlessly resumed their discussion, his determination to continue with their business affairs unwavering.
