- Fulgor looks out over the freshly planted land and the first rains coming down on it.
- Two hundred men come out of the Media Luna grounds on horses and Fulgor tells them to drive a herd of cattle up to some hills before the rain comes down.
- Miguel comes back from partying, and Fulgor asks him what he's been up to.
- He makes a dirty joke and Fulgor guesses that he must have been with Dorotea, since she likes babies (he's totally calling Miguel a man-child).
- Dorotea, as we know, is a nutcase who thinks she has a baby but doesn't.
- Miguel goes inside and the cook, Damiana Cisneros (who we've also met on the streets of Comala as a ghost), asks him where he's been, too.
- He asks her who Dorotea is, and she says that she's right outside, that she comes to beg for breakfast at the ranch every morning.
- He goes outside to make Dorotea an offer she can't refuse. When he comes back in, he informs Damiana that she's to make Dorotea as delicious a breakfast as his every single morning.
- Fulgor is worried about Miguel for being too wild—just the day before someone had said that he'd killed a man. Boys will be boys? Psycho killers will be psycho killers?
- He also doesn't like it that Miguel just left his horse without unsaddling it. Oh, ok. Killing people is fine, but leaving horses unsaddled? Heinous.
- The day before Fulgor had talked to Pedro about his son, Miguel. Pedro had said that Miguel was still just a baby. We guess leaving horses unsaddled is the Comala equivalent of leaving teeth marks in a block of cheese.
- When he hears about the sad widow of the man Miguel killed, he just says that those people don't matter.
