FX’s Mayans M.C. season four episode seven kicks off with Miguel (Danny Pino) on the road in the middle of nowhere. He wakes from napping in the passenger seat when the driver comes to a sudden stop. They spot a car stopped and blocking both lanes. There appears to be a woman in the front seat and, surprisingly, Miguel doesn’t seem to be alarmed by this weird turn of events.
We see a dead woman in the driver’s seat but Miguel and his companion can’t get close enough to check it out before the car explodes. Miguel finally appears to catch on that he’s in danger as a lone motorcyclist appears from behind the burning car.
Miguel’s driver throws it in reverse and speeds away backward while shooting at the motorcyclist. The cyclist backs off but Miguel’s not in the clear. A truck appears on their passenger side and rams into them. (And that’s all we’ll see of Miguel this episode.)
EZ (JD Pardo) and Sofia (Andrea Cortes) have yet another awkward conversation, this time at her apartment. Both have realized the other’s been in prison, and EZ confesses he was in jail for murdering a cop. Sofia calls prison EZ’s “gateway drug” since it led to him joining the Mayans. He corrects her and says Angel’s the one who got him into the Mayans. When she asks if Angel’s older or younger, EZ jokes, “Physically older but emotionally much younger.”
Sofia admits she was in jail for 54 months. She reveals she had it coming and accepted whatever prison sentence they wanted to give her without complaining because she was in fact guilty of negligence in the death of her young daughter.
Sofia agrees to check in on Sally while EZ is out of town taking care of some business. (And by “business”, we mean amping up a war against the Sons.)
Jay-Jay (Greg Serano) leaves EZ a voicemail warning him not to ignore his calls.
Over at the clubhouse, Bishop (Michael Irby), Creeper (Joseph Raymond Lucero), and Tranq (Frankie Loyal) drink beer while Bishop continues his “pity me” tour. He thinks Marcus is ruining Santo Padre. Tranq and Creeper disagree and believe it’s important the club come together now.
And speaking of Marcus (Emilio Rivera), he asks Bishop to come to the table for a chat but Bishop doesn’t budge. Marcus takes Creeper’s vacated seat instead and informs Bishop he WILL come to his house tonight to celebrate his wife’s birthday. She specifically asked for Bishop to be there and Marcus isn’t about to allow Bishop to continue to pull his crap.
“She’s a good woman, Primo, and if she wants you at her dinner, you better be at her f**king dinner,” warns Marcus.
EZ, Angel (Clayton Cardenas), and Manny (Manny Montana) make it to UC Davis’ hospital parking lot and spot three Sons outside. However, there’s a row of parked bikes which means more Sons are inside watching Packer’s room.
EZ’s entire plan consists of getting revenge for Coco by killing as many high-ranking Sons as possible. Angel points out that’s not much of a plan and EZ explains he’s done with making elaborate plans that never actually work. K.I.S.S. appears to be his new mantra.
Manny’s all for this barebones plan which EZ thinks will take down Packer, Chibs, and other ranking Sons. Angel’s still unconvinced, reminding his little bro they don’t even know where Packer is being kept. Manny and EZ simultaneously say “oncology” and Angel replies, “What the f**k is oncology?”
Manny explains that it means he’s in the cancer ward and Angel, who is so obviously done with this new buddy team of EZ and Manny, says, “Why the f**k you guys just ain’t say that then?”
Back to more serious matters, EZ’s wearing his cut in case he gets killed. He wants them to know he’s a Mayan.
Angel heads inside and purchases a stuffed animal from the gift shop. He then attempts to read the directory to locate the oncology wing but can’t find it. Instead, he asks a Hispanic janitor where the cancer ward is and the janitor says, “Oncology?”
Angel looks ready to kill the next person who mentions that word.
Anyway, after learning its location he joins Manny and EZ outside stairwell 5. He lets them in and EZ’s surprised Angel’s wearing a lab coat. Angel claims he’s just trying to blend in but neither Manny nor EZ think he’s pulling it off.
Angel learned the oncology unit is on the seventh floor and that the hospital’s crawling with Sons. (EZ has definitely not thought this through.) EZ suggests they take the elevator to the 8th floor and then use the stairs to the 7th.
All hell breaks loose when the elevator doors open and four Sons are inside. EZ, Angel, and Manny get off shots before the Sons can react. EZ, Manny, and Angel finally worry about covering their faces as they run down the halls.
They make it to the front lobby and see additional Sons pulling up on their motorcycles, plus a few more coming through the doors drawing their weapons. They yell for the innocent bystanders to get down as the two clubs exchange gunfire.
Manny, EZ, and Angel are now running for their lives while being chased. They continue shooting, and the screaming of staff, patients, and visitors adds to the chaos.
They see even more Sons arriving and Manny volunteers to cause a diversion so EZ and Angel can get out of the building. EZ and Angel run through what appears to be the emergency department and a security guard fires a shot at their retreating backs. It misses and Angel turns and shoots the guard.
Angel pauses, clearly upset he just shot a guard and EZ’s forced to retrieve his brother.
Talk about your unlucky coincidences. EZ suddenly stops urging his brother to leave when he locks eyes with the nurse who just happens to be…wait for it…his ex-girlfriend, Gaby (Sulem Calderon). Angel grabs Gaby since she can identify them and hustles her outside, against her will.
EZ runs into the parking lot and carjacks a doctor. Sons spot their getaway vehicle and start firing just as Manny uses their original vehicle to drive over the line of Sons motorcycles. Apparently, the cops still haven’t arrived as EZ’s able to exit the parking lot and escape with Gaby and Angel in the backseat.
Much later that night EZ’s pulled over and Gaby’s outside the car when Angel gets off the phone with news that Manny was also able to escape. Manny got rid of the Jeep and is going to hunker down in Oakland before heading back to Santo Padre.
Angel’s changed his opinion of the Yuma dude and decides he “might be alright.”
EZ and Angel have no idea what to do with Gaby. EZ finally talks to her alone and learns she’s going to call the police and turn them in because they shot her friend, the security guard. The guard had a wife and kids and didn’t deserve to die. She knows his family and realizes they’ll never see their loved one again.
Gaby calls EZ and Angel animals for destroying the guard’s family.
EZ’s unable to convince her not to tell anyone what happened or give away their identity. Speaking about Angel, Gaby says, “He needs to answer for what he did. He shot an innocent man, EZ.”
Gaby cries and holds EZ’s face as she tells him she loves him. Unfortunately for Gaby, no one means more to EZ than his brother. He will not allow Angel to go to jail.
Gaby’s in the middle of saying, “Your mother would want you to do the right thing,” when a shot rings out. EZ kills Gaby.
Angel screams, “NO! What did you do?! EZ, what the f*ck did you do?”
That incredibly intense scene is followed by Bishop knocking on Marcus’ door. He’s late but at least he showed up and Diana (Patricia De Leon) is happy to see him, even if her husband’s not. Things get even more uncomfortable when Maggie, a friend of Diana’s, shows up. It’s obviously a setup and Bishop’s not in the least bit interested in having Diana play matchmaker.
The night goes horribly and Bishop leaves before dessert. Marcus follows Bishop outside and suggests he leave the club if he doesn’t like the way he’s running it. Bishop believes Marcus’ head is with his family when it should be with the Mayans.
And now on to a different couple… Creeper and Kody (Stella Maeve) are in bed and still getting to know each other. Creeper confesses he’s worried about his brothers and can’t stand the thought of one of them getting hurt when he’s not there to help them. Kody gets him to admit his brothers don’t always take care of him. There wasn’t any retribution when he was shot point-blank a few years back.
Angel finally makes it home and pulls Nails (Justina Adorno) in for a hug. She doesn’t hug him back and he apologizes for being gone so long. (He hasn’t yet realized she lost the baby.) Nails explains she thought she wanted to be in this relationship but she’s realized she can’t fix what was wrong – or fix Angel.
Angel admits he’s been busy, preoccupied, and scared, but Nails knows it’s too late. He doesn’t get to say that after what she’s been through. He apologizes for “whatever” he did and swears he can change. When he brings up EZ, Nails has had enough. She gets up and is ready to leave when Angel finally asks about the baby. She cries and shakes her head no and he finally understands she lost the baby. He actually calls her Stephanie instead of Nails when he asks what happened.
Nails doesn’t reply and Angel starts getting upset – and accusatory – and asks, “What the f*ck did you do?” Nails tells him Felipe took her to the hospital and Angel’s pissed off no one called him. Nails wonders what he would have done if they reached out and adds, “What have you ever done, Angel?”
Nails pushes past him, leaves his ring on the table, and exits his home – and his life.
EZ returns to his trailer to find Sofia’s there taking care of Sally (who looks incredibly happy). EZ has blood on his shirt and hands, and quickly says it’s not his. EZ appears to be in shock and Sofia helps him remove his clothes. He tries to tell her what happened but Sofia doesn’t want to hear about it.
Angel’s home alone drinking and sitting on the floor next to the crib when he hears knocking at the door. He doesn’t make any effort to get up and Felipe (Edward James Olmos) lets himself in. Felipe asks about Stephanie and Angel confirms she’s gone. Felipe’s sorry about what happened to his baby and empathizes with his son’s loss. He explains that you feel the pain and then at some point you move on. Felipe was able to heal with the birth of Angel and then EZ.
However, Felipe’s misinterpreted Angel’s interest in his actions. Angel doesn’t want to know how Felipe moved on; he wants to know what Felipe did in the past that’s made the family so screwed up. “Why do we destroy everything? Why do we lose everyone? What did you do that was so f*cking wrong that God had f*cking rain hell all over us?!” asks Angel.
He demands to know why they’re cursed but Felipe doesn’t answer. Angel’s had enough and kicks his dad out of his house.
Angel then heads over to Coco’s to see Letty, drunk and out of it. Letty’s shocked to see him and Angel denies being drunk and claims he’s there because he can’t stop thinking about her. Letty knows yesterday was a mistake that can’t happen again, but Angel tries to say it wasn’t. Letty’s telling him it will never happen again when Gilly (Vincent Vargas) emerges from another room. (The elder Reyes brother was correct. The family is cursed.)
Gilly realizes what Angel did and begins punching him. Angel falls to the floor and refuses to fight back. Letty kicks them both out as Angel apologizes.
Back at EZ’s trailer, Sofia burns his bloody clothing. Again, EZ attempts to tell her what happened but she stops him. She just wants him to confirm he’s back safe with her and Sally – that’s all that’s important. “Are we safe?” she asks, adding, “Are you safe?”
EZ doesn’t reply and Sofia says that’s all she cares about.
Angel makes it home only to find Adelita (Carla Baratta) inside. He reacts with a derisive chuckle and says, “I can’t f*cking believe it. Of course you would show up tonight.”
He says he doesn’t want to hear what she has to say and warns her he can’t go through this again. A baby crying makes Angel stop yelling. He bends over the cradle and picks up his son. “My boy,” he says, voice infused with love. He says it again while holding his baby and looking at Adelita.
