The season finale saw a new character, cartel boss Gallino, who saved Tommy from Jiminez’s torture, but can he really be trusted? That is something for season 2 because now Tommy has already agreed to co-exist with the cartel, which means it would still be an important plotline for Season 2.
Cooper makes progress with Ariana by supporting her when she misses her late husband, Elvio. He gives her time and space to take things forward with her, and their finale ending means that the two might finally be together ahead and Cooper will make progress on his plans to enter the oil industry.

The episode starts with the doctors saying that Monty is critical and needs a heart transplant, but soon after, his aorta ruptures, and he dies. This automatically means a promotion for Tommy, and he is made the new president of M-Tex.
After seeing Monty’s fate, Tommy is hesitant about his promotion. He advises Cami to sell the company so that she can liquidate its assets, which will be enough for her generations to come. But Cami disagrees with this decision as she says that Monty would not want this, as she will continue the company.
Tommy reluctantly agrees and starts looking into Monty’s pending deals, but he says that Cami and Alan should always be present with him as board members.
In addition, he also brings back Rebecca as the company’s negotiator. While she is hesitant about working for an oil company and doesn’t trust Tommy, she stays.
