Dramatic enough for you?
Afterwards, we pick up with Ofelia.
Victors prediction that she took the truck from the hotel was right.

We see her now pulling up to a taco joint on the side of a road.
She looks different: Her once-frazzled appearance is slicker with a tight ponytail and black bomber jacket.
She goes to the trunk, which is full of supplies, and takes out a hammer.
Ofelia walks to the back of the joint and gets lost in the sight of the calming ocean waves.
The scene segues into a memory of her in Mexico with her ex-fiance.
The memory is of the moment he proposed by hiding a ring in her drink.
She left Madison and the others out of fear, but now the area is secure and prospering.
As she borrows Alicia for something inside the hotel, a knock at Lucianas door cuts to the colony.
Nick is in her bed and he scrambles to put on a shirt and hide in the bathroom.
After a beat, Madison and Alicia scramble to get him on the bed and stop the bleeding.
Maybe it cost too much to have Brenda Strong in more than one scene.
Kidding…kind of.
Oscar blames Ilenes actions on her festering grief over the loss of her husband and daughter.
Elena then brings up what everyone is thinking: What if she never gets over her grief?
What if she attacks again?
Since they dont have the equipment to perform a blood transfusion, this is apparently their best hope.
Thats when Elena says she knows a place, which we can infer is the warehouse.
Back at the colony, Luciana and Nick have the pleasure of telling Alejandro that Francisco left.
Alejandro is instantly paranoid and questions whether Luciana knew about it beforehand.
She says no, but his lingering stare suggests he may not believe her.
From someone whos constantly preaching faith, hes certainly not having any of his own all of a sudden.
She suggests Alejandro reassure the colony, though he thinks the people should hear from Luciana.
In the meantime, theyll try and keep things quiet.
They all acknowledge shes a danger and deranged.
Turning to address the entire room, Madison announces Ilene will remain in her room indefinitely.
Andreas says shes a prisoner, and Madison is quick to say the hotel cant afford to foster violence.
All are in agreement.
Alejandro is visibly becoming unhinged as he fails in the same task of keeping his flock together.
In his address to the community, he equates desertion to the loss of faith.
While some seem to believe in his reassurance, Nick is quick to ask Luciana whether hes okay.
The two approach Alejandro, who turns once again on his main disciple.
This doesnt sit well with Nick, who noted earlier that the colony desperately needs more supplies.
Speaking of supplies, Madison notices Elena quarreling with Hector before they depart for the warehouse themselves.
(Apparently, he meant gone as in literally gone from here.)
Nick, however, isnt so faithful to Alejandro.
He gets in a fight with Luciana, who still defends him after he openly questioned her loyalty.
Luciana stands by Alejandros decision, even though the people need medicine and water.
She then remarks how Alejandro saved Nick from the wasteland, but he assertsshewas his savior.
NEXT: Will Madison have a reunion?
Elena asks for Antonio, teasing the guards that they have something he may be interested in.
They only let the women inside and instruct Oscar to wait by the car.
After a brief swinging of egos, Oscar complies.
Alejandros only defense at this point is to question Nicks beliefs and commitment.
Still, Alejandro tries to play the victim-who-has-to-make-tough-choices card, which Nick sees as asking for blind faith.
The strength of any good cult leader is in their persuasive ability to brainwash their followers.
However, it doesnt look like Nick will take the bait.
She then mentions Hector, but Antonio asks why he didnt come.
Elena has no response.
Antonio instructs them to wait where they are as he gets everything on the list.
In an upstairs room, Marco is loudly interrogating Francisco and his wife.
Madison spies the scene from the floor and asks Elena to translate.
She then rushes into the room, despite a raging Marco and warnings from Elena.
Madison desperately asks Francisco and his wife about the name of the man he mentioned.
Their fear ultimately keeps them quiet, and Elena forces her back out of the room.
NEXT: Is faith enough to save the colony?
Hes initially resistant, joking that Americans love to fix others problems, but agrees to leave tonight.
Nick then walks over to Luciana, who is finishing up a meeting with a group of guards.
He advises, Then make her.
The cross on her rosary throws her into another memory, this one of her mother.
God whispered to me about this man, and I listened, she said.
Jumping back to reality, Ofelia kisses the cross and says she now understands what her mother meant.
Madison, Elena, and Oscar pull up to the hotel parking lot.
Elena shakes her head to Hector as a silent answer to whether Antonio came back.
As it turns out, someone did see the sign.
Even though it seems like theres a lot about to happen, we still have three more episodes left.
So, hunker down.
