Senator Barnes has resigned in disgrace, and Alex can't secure the support of the new Energy Committee Chair, who insists that, to remain competitive for the ethanol grant, the Duques will have to acquire more sugar fields. A tall order, but doable, if Alex can obtain titles to sugar fields in post-Castro Cuba. The Cuban landowners, to whom ownership of the fields will revert after Castro's death, agree to promise their land to Alex, but point out that much Cuban sugar acreage has already been sold to foreign investors. Alex does some digging and discovers that one of those "foreign" investors is Joe Samuels, who has been illegally buying land in Cuba. Alex gets the proof he needs to bring Joe's crime to light. Pancho finally tells Frank the truth about the Samuelses' hand in Lucia's death, which leads Frank to break things off with Ellis, who knew nothing about the murder. After Frank's revelation, Ellis confronts her father, and when he doesn't deny his involvement, she turns her back on him. Meanwhile, Henry comes to Katie's rescue when she discovers the sex tape Nick secretly made of them. Guest star Alicia Keys.
