This was a cathartic chapter in a lot of ways, and i'm glad to see things finally come to a head with Tricia and to a lesser extent Sofia airing their sins and finding a way forward.

In regards to Sofia, knowing that Mateo may forgive her, but he still does not trust her is a good balance of keeping the weight of her deeds in her mind, considering her role as a DPS agent, and the girlfriend of...poor, blissfully ignorant Charles, Sofia keeping herself in check with both Mateo's and Miguel's assessment's in this chapter is probably healthy for her in the long run.

Evie also shone in this chapter in trying to reconcile some of the failings of the DPS and maybe consider trying to implement some changes, with Luna proving to be unwavering in dragging the sins of Tricia out. Though I do wonder if Tricia admitting there was someone else influencing her besides her hateful mother will lead to them trying to pin down Lin...

Going back to Miguel, his bits in this chapter were also great, between him standing firm against Sofia, being unafraid to tell her that he doesn't forgive her and that her actions made him unable to love her ever again, even if she might love him, to the way he just spoke frankly with Mateo about Liam and Luna being 'fucking weird' to lamenting he won't have grandkids because of his relationship with Beth.

But man, the way Tricia has come so far is the real highlight, and I can only hope in the future she becomes a great DPS agent moving past this dark chapter of her life. It's hard to know how to deal with her mom, especially since her willful hatred is not fading at her extra puny size...but I doubt even her own daughter would mourn her at the rate she's going. She was practically begging to be executed the way she presented herself, with a frightening lack of self preservation to hold her back.

I know the epilogue is coming, but this was a very fun story, will be sad to see some of these characters go.

kill tricia's horrible mother.
