Lidia calls Pedro to tell him that his wife made a surprise visit to the Dominican Republic. An upset Pedro hops on the next airplane to confront his wife. The next day, Pedro finds Chantel, and asks her what she’s doing there. She says that since Pedro is trying to fix the relationships with her family, she wants to return the favor.
Chantel tells Pedro, “I thought that you would see this as something good, that I actually came and had a conversation with your mom without arguing.”
However, Pedro is upset that she lied to him about where she was going. She told him that she was going with Winter to Michigan. Pedro thinks that Chantel going to the Dominican Republic only exasperated the problem. Pedro doesn’t believe that Chantel’s intentions were pure.
