In the fifth episode of "Bandidos" Season 2, titled "La Casa De La Luna," the bandits face a series of challenges and revelations that test their unity and determination. The episode begins with a flashback to Zazil's retirement to the Island of the Dead, setting the stage for the present-day events where Lili and Regina arrive at the island. Lili attempts to enlist Mano's help, but he quickly eliminates the first guard they encounter. The sisters' bickering reveals Regina's jealousy over their father's attention towards Lili.
The bandits struggle to escape from the sunken ship, but they eventually make their way to the island. They follow a trail of dead bodies, leading them to Lili investigating a Ceiba tree. Miguel had previously explained the tree's significance to the Mayans, and they deduce that it marks Zazil's tomb. However, their discovery is disappointing as they find only one gold bar and a codex.
Upon returning to the mainland, the bandits devise a rescue plan, which proves to be anything but smooth. Lili is forced to leave the codex with Regina, but they manage to escape while the police detain Mano and Regina for the murders on the island. Regina uses her connections to get released but is furious with the bandits and decides to kill Alex.
The bandits, low on fuel, stop at a mini-gas station. Lili and Citlali attempt to charm the young owner into giving them free fuel, but their efforts are thwarted when the owner recognizes them from the wanted list for the island murders, thanks to Regina. The bandits narrowly escape, but their stolen truck runs out of fuel, forcing them to continue on foot.
Miguel reassures Ines that Alex will be fine, and even Octavio's optimism wavers as they walk. Lili tries to share her past with Miguel, but he stops her, agreeing to help her only after the heist and not wanting to see her afterward. Meanwhile, Mano finds Alex in the garage and defies Regina's order to kill him, showing a rare moment of humanity.
Tensions rise within the group as Lili is annoyed with Leo for sleeping with Regina, and he points out that he had no choice. Octavio finds a bucket and cooks mushroom soup for everyone, which leads to a hallucinogenic experience. The bandits find shelter among some ruins and discuss the codex, which Lili had memorized. Miguel interprets it, and the others start to realize that there isn't any gold left, only one diamond.
In the morning, Miguel spots a German family selling corn and has enough money to buy some. He devises a plan to bypass the checkpoints by dressing up as the family and borrowing their carriage. The police wave them off, and they reach the hotel quickly, only to find that Refugio has escaped and tied up Xime and Juan.
While Miguel tends to his father, Octavio is in a daze, and Ines thinks he is high. However, Octavio reveals a plan to offer Regina a deal about the diamond. Lili checks on Juan and shares her theory that Zazil must have given the diamond to someone. Juan mentions that Zazil wanted to return it to the place from where Moctezuma stole it, and his colleague, Ramirez, might know more.
As they discuss Ramirez's location, Ines and Octavio confront the others. Lili is honest about the situation with Regina and admits that she might give the diamond without successfully negotiating for their money. Ines reveals that she has made a deal with Regina— the diamond for Alex and their money. However, Lili is not trusted and is cut off, leading to a split within the group. Octavio and Citlali join Ines, while Lucas, Leo, Lili, and Miguel form their own team.
"La Casa De La Luna" is a pivotal episode that not only advances the plot but also deepens the character dynamics. The bandits' journey is fraught with obstacles and betrayals, testing their loyalty and resolve. The episode keeps viewers engaged with its blend of action, suspense, and interpersonal drama, setting the stage for the challenges that lie ahead in their quest for the Tear of Fire.
