Cara takes Lissette’s advice to apologize to her family and meets Ángela in the lobby, where they both air their grievances publicly. Both sisters realize that they are each responsible for the other in ways that the other does not see. Ángela needs Cara to finish her citizenship documentation, and she also needs Cara to apologize and mean it. She also demands that Cara stop being negative and insulting Ángela’s parenting abilities. When Cara protests that she would never hurt Julio and that she is critical out of love, Ángela tells her that she must learn another way to love. She tells Cara that Fernando was unable to relax around her. Ángela wants her children to feel safe. Lulú tells Cara to apologize, and she does, without elaborating or defending herself. Ángela, who never cries, bursts into healing tears.
