Tio Jorge

Rebecca takes Conchita to give her deposition with Patricia, and Patricia shows Rebecca a little special attention. The same afternoon Rebecca takes a call from Alberto, though she had vowed that she would not. He invites her out to dinner.

Rebecca finds herself with a new dilemma, an attraction to Alberto, who George introduces her to on the street in Guerneville. Alberto flirts with her and she feels uncomfortable not knowing exactly what George's connection to Alberto is. She also lets him know that her life is already too complicated.

George finds solace on a lonely beach, even when the weather is cool and foggy. One mid winter day, he encounters a young man named Alberto on what he has come to consider his beach.

Rebecca and Conchita continue their conversation about Conchita's past in the car on the way back from meeting Tio Jorge. Later Conchita finds the courage to stand up to her employer, Rebecca's grandmother. Gran is disgusted with both Rebecca and Conchita.

Rebecca reveals to George her intention to reopen his case and clear his name. He has his doubts. She also tells Conchita about who she went to visit and asks her help in setting the record straight.

George takes the letter home and feels the presence of Miguel as his thoughts drift to Rebecca's difficult life. He recalls an incident which exemplifies young Rebecca's complex relationship with her mother.

When Rebecca returns to Tio Jorge's trailer the next day, she sees that he has fled. With a tip from a neighbor, she goes to the beach and finds him there. They try to keep away from the emotional topics of their shared experiences, but they both realize they will eventually have to talk about what binds them together.

Rebecca says goodbye to her Mexican family and gets an emotional gift from her grandmother. Back in the Bay Area, she still has her doubts, but heads out alone again to find Tio Jorge.
