Episode 8 of Sky Rojo's inaugural season kicks off with the ladies meticulously strategizing their intricate trap, a bear snare designed not for footsteps but for the rumble of approaching vehicles. With a toast to their cunning, they embark on executing their daring plan, each sip of liquor fueling their determination.
Meanwhile, Moises and Christian engage in a sinister duet, tormenting Fernando with the promise of acidic oblivion if he fails to divulge his secrets. Christian's conscience flickers as he inquires about their gruesome intentions, only for Moises to pull him aside and unravel a tale of betrayal and redemption. It transpires that Romeo once rescued Moises from the clutches of his abusive father, forging an unbreakable bond of loyalty between the pimp and his protégé.
With Fernando's fate sealed, Moises rushes back to the club, where Romeo reigns supreme. Confessing his past dalliance with Coral, Moises vows eternal fealty, yet Romeo's fury boils over. Demanding proof of Moises' devotion, he tasks him with delivering the trio of women into his grasp.
Little does Romeo know, his wish is granted sooner than anticipated. As Moises and Christian venture forth, Carol arrives solo, her gaze locking with a drug-addled Romeo in an instant. He escorts her to his sanctum, where Coral's plea for forgiveness echoes, but Romeo has a surprise in store. Unveiling his knowledge of her affair with Moises, his rage surpasses all bounds, his sword twirling wildly as he confronts her with the truth.
Coral hurls her sword with such precision that it zips past Romeo's face, mere inches from striking, igniting a surge of adrenaline that, coupled with the intoxicating drugs, sends the club's proprietor crumpling to his knees, frothing at the mouth in a grotesque display.
As this dramatic scene unfolds, Moises abruptly abandons Christian by the roadside, leaving him in a cloud of dust as he speeds away. His destination: the gas station, where Gina and Wendy's intimate conversation comes to a close just as he arrives, the two women darting off before he can reach them.
Moises, unaware of the treacherous trap awaiting him, stumbles blindly into the bear trap's deadly embrace, plummeting headlong into his fate. Wendy, at the controls of the digger, stands poised, ready to entomb him alive as the earth begins its descent.
Amidst the shower of dirt, Moises frantically fires his weapon, his shots wild and desperate, until he is swallowed whole by a towering mound of soil. Tragically, Wendy's valiant efforts are met with a brutal cost, as a stray bullet pierces her stomach, leaving her wounded.
Meanwhile, Coral manages to revive Romeo, leaving the narrative dangling precariously on the edge of a cliffhanger, tantalizingly hinting at a gripping second season to come.
