* CassandraTruth: Raul Lopez's girlfriend doesn't trust Cortez under her alias and thinks she's up to something. He dismisses it as her being GreenEyedMonster.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: When Cortez last encountered Raul Lopez during her time undercover in the Los Huesos cartel, he was a low-level enforcer. After the cartel collapsed the first time, Raul [[RemovingTheRival killed anyone left standing above him]] in the pecking order until he was in charge.
-->'''Agent Romero''': Raul did three years for the sting Cortez ran. He moved his way up in prison, then headed to Mexico as soon as he was out and shot up the ranks.
-->'''Cortez''': That's a quick rise. Raul was low-level when I worked him. Smart, but nothing close to a leader.
-->'''Romero''': Easy to rise when you take out the three guys ahead of you. He's not just smart, he's ruthless.
* TattooedCrook: Chris, as part of her undercover identity as Cortez's bodyguard, gets a massive one on her neck.
