At a market a buyer offers $500 for worn panties and asks Josefina if her husband cheated, suggesting she's selling them to teach him a lesson. At home Josefina says her mother is ill and she must return home. Queena and others scold her, call the family a "bottomless pit," and warn leaving alone will fuel rumors about her marriage to Clinton. They promise help but pressure her to stay. Josefina insists she went to the central hospital yesterday; someone counters that sources place her at a hotel, undermining her alibi and exposing her to damaging gossip.
