A peasant girl lays dead by the hand of her well-moneyed lover, Anton, and the only witness is Tessa, who vows to testify against him. But Anton's mother, ranchero and former pirate Mary Rose (played by special guest star Bo Derek), is determined to save her son from the hangman's noose – even if it means murder. This time, the one who needs the Queen's protection is Tessa herself.

An imposter (guest star Elizabeth Gracen) poses as the Queen of Swords to steal a payroll of gold so Tessa must clear her name and unmask the bandit. With Tessie Santiago, Paulina Galvez, Valentine Pelka and Elsa Pataky.

An ambassador (Ed Stoppard) for the King of Spain arrives in town on a mission to return with the Queen of Swords' head. Also starring Paulina Galvez, Valentine Pelka, Anthony Lemke and Peter Wingfield.

A horse rides into town carrying a wounded stranger, whose last words accuse the Rey family of lies and murder.
