The villagers soon after surround Tomaso. He stabs himself and later is jailed. Chelo convinces the newly pregnant Luba to run for alcaldesa. Tonantzin seems like she's back to normal, but more purposeful and lucid in her activism. She winds up immolating herself protesting in a faraway city, with her ashes eventually raining down on Palomar. Guadalupe see Tonantzin's ghost beneath Pintor Salcedo's tree.
