When the Moon Was Ours

Aracely tells Sam the truth about her past as Leandro, who died trying to save his sister from the river. The river transformed him into a woman covered in butterflies. It also aged her to be older than Leandro was before. Aracely then went looking for Miel. Miel still doesn’t know who Aracely really is. Sam sees that Aracely understands his pain, and he considers his aversion to being seen as a woman. Aracely reveals that she helped his mother get set up in the town, trying to give Sam a fresh start without judgment.

Ivy invites Miel to come over. When Miel refuses, Ivy says that she’ll have her father fire “Samira,” deliberately using Sam’s birth name. Miel understands that Sam’s secret will be revealed if she refuses, so she goes. When she arrives, she sees her first rose in a vase; the sisters want one for each of them before they try using them. They accost Miel about her mother, alluding to rumors that she tried to murder her children. Finally, they show Miel Sam’s birth certificate, which they got from Ms. Owens. Miel leaves, and Peyton follows.
