Early fan reviews praise Kate del Castillo’s restrained performance—less screaming, more staring. Critics note that Parte 2 successfully reboots the series after season 3’s mixed reception, drawing comparisons to The Godfather Part II in its parallel storytelling (Teresa’s rise vs. Patricia’s vengeful return). The only complaint: the 72-hour countdown feels like a familiar trope.
In the last 10 minutes, Teresa executes the first step of her plan. She arranges a meeting with Don Gato (a feline-themed drug lord in Gibraltar) at a nightclub. The negotiation is silent—conducted through hand gestures and glasses of vodka (a nod to Sasha’s heritage). Teresa offers Sasha’s own shipping coordinates in exchange for safe harbor. Don Gato smiles, toasts, then whispers: "You have 72 hours before Sasha knows you're here."
The episode ends with Teresa on a rooftop overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The camera pulls back to show two opposing fleets of speedboats on the horizon—Sasha’s men on one side, hers on the other. Freeze frame. Title card: LA REINA DEL SUR - CONTINUARÁ.
When we left off in Parte 1, Teresa had finally achieved what seemed impossible: a quiet, luxurious life in Malta. She had left the narco world behind, focusing on legitimate businesses and healing her emotional wounds. However, Parte 2 immediately shatters this illusion.
The episode opens with a cold, calculated hit. A rival cartel, unaware of Teresa’s new pacifist stance, attacks a logistics warehouse tied to her old network. This is the catalyst. "La reina del sur temporada 4 capítulo 1 parte 2" shows us that the past is a shadow that doesn't fade. la reina del sur temporada 4 cap%C3%ADtulo 1 parte 2
Teresa watches the news report in her Maltese villa. Her eyes—those famous, icy "Teresa eyes"—narrow. She doesn't scream or cry. She simply picks up a phone she swore she would never use again. The dialogue is sparse but terrifying: "Ya basta" (Enough is enough).
"La reina del sur temporada 4 capítulo 1 parte 2" successfully reboots the series for a new audience while rewarding long-time fans. It balances nostalgia (the return to Mexico) with innovation (the cyber-thriller elements). If the rest of Season 4 maintains the pacing, technical precision, and emotional weight of this second half of the premiere, Telemundo has another classic on its hands.
Final Verdict: 9.5/10. Essential viewing. Don't you dare skip it.

The episode cuts to Santiago Fisterra (Alberto Jiménez) in a Galician fishing village. Now retired and hiding with a new identity, he receives a coded message on a ham radio. The voice is Patricia O'Farrell (Verónica Sánchez) — presumed dead at the end of season 3. She is alive, disfigured but vindictive. She tells Santiago: "Teresa left us to die. Now I have the evidence to put her away forever. Help me, or I tell the DEA about your son."
This cliffhanger ties the Mediterranean war back to Teresa’s unresolved Spanish past.

Oleg presents intelligence intercepted from a hacked satellite feed. The attack was not ordered by a Mexican cartel nor the CIA. Instead, it traces back to Aleksandr "Sasha" Sokolov, a Russian oligarch who controls the heroin trade from the Black Sea to the Strait of Gibraltar. Sasha (played by guest star Mikhail Gorevoy) is introduced via a video call with his lieutenant: cold, poetic, and ruthlessly pragmatic. His motive? Teresa's shipping routes through the Port of Algeciras have cut his profits by 40%.
