Ep 1. Bienvenidos a Nuevo Orleans

In Queen of the South season 4 episode 1, titled "Bienvenidos a Nuevo Orleans," we see Teresa Mendoza (played by Alice Braga) thriving as a successful drug smuggler. However, her success has attracted the attention of many dangerous people.

The episode begins with a flashback of Teresa, Marcel Dumas (played by Alimi Ballard), and James Valdez (played by Peter Gadiot) arriving in New Orleans with a shipment of drugs. They are greeted by a man named Eddie, who takes them to meet a woman named Marcela (played by Stephanie Sigman). Marcela is the leader of a powerful drug cartel in New Orleans and she orders her men to kill Marcel and James. Teresa manages to talk Marcela out of killing them and instead offers to help her expand her drug operation.

Fast forward to the present day, and Teresa is now running her own drug cartel with the help of her loyal crew. She receives news that a rival cartel has invaded her territory in New Orleans and is trying to take over her drug smuggling operation. Teresa decides to go to New Orleans to deal with the situation and enlist the help of Marcela.

Once in New Orleans, Teresa and Pote (played by Hemky Madera) meet with Marcela at a party. Marcela seems distrustful of Teresa but eventually agrees to help her. She introduces her to a man named Boaz Jimenez (played by Joseph T. Campos), who she says can help her get rid of the rival cartel. Boaz is a ruthless drug lord who has a reputation for getting things done.

As Teresa leaves the party, she is ambushed by a group of men who try to kill her. Teresa demonstrates her fighting skills and manages to escape. She realizes that the rival cartel is more dangerous than she initially thought and decides to ask Boaz for help.

The episode ends with Teresa and Boaz meeting face-to-face for the first time. They exchange some hostile words but eventually come to an agreement. Boaz agrees to help Teresa get rid of the rival cartel, but warns her that he has his own agenda and that she should not trust him completely. We are left wondering what the future holds for Teresa and whether or not she can trust Boaz.

Overall, Queen of the South season 4 episode 1 is action-packed and sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting season. We see Teresa continue to navigate the dangerous world of drug smuggling, making alliances and enemies along the way. The episode provides a glimpse into the complex and often brutal world of drug cartels in New Orleans, leaving us eager to see what will happen next.
