Earlier in the episode, Moises made a choice that had a bad outcome. Veronica’s dog was old and suffering, so he decided to put the animal down without talking to her first.

He’s told her condition is iffy, and he might have to make a similar decision for his daughter. But that’s not all this episode packs in.

Oddly enough, Moises is a lucky man. He’s two seconds away from killing Federico when he gets a call saying his daughter is awake now. The call’s enough of a distraction to let Federico get away and keep Moises from potentially being in the crosshairs of an angry diplomat. Veronica obviously wins when she recovers. But, there’s a loser here too. Federico ends up looking bad when he claims Moises tried to hurt him. No one believes him, so it looks like he’ll be dealing with that for a long time to come.
