Queen of the South Episode 5 Recap
Teresa helps Oksana
Episode 5 kicked off with Boaz sending Teresa cash, but more than she can launder. Meanwhile, Oksana went behind Kostya’s back to do a side deal with Simon Durant. He is a black market antiquities dealer in Berlin, Germany. However, this move costs Oksana dear as Durant double-crosses her. He sold her a fake painting in exchange for a shipment of Molly. And now Oksana has to hide it from Kostya. Teresa offers to help Oksana and both of them fly off to Berlin. To attract Simon’s interest, James steals a Van Gogh painting and approaches him. When Simon says he wants sexual favors from Teresa, she breaks his nose and steals his gun. Simon then reveals that he has already sold the Molly to an Algerian smuggler, Hakim Bajara. Teresa and Oksana then head off to meet Hakim.
The Deal “Breaks”
When they offer a deal to Hakim, he hikes up the price, tripling it, just because they’re women. Following that, a firefight breaks out, with Simon and Hakim ending up dead. Teresa gets her hands on Molly and also her money back. Teresa then helps Oksana sell the Molly to a Polish Oleg Stavinsky, who is reluctant at first but eventually agrees. Oksana thanks Teresa for helping her beak the deal on her own. With Rocco now dead, Teresa can now do business in Europe again. She buys a hotel and plans to buy a bank to help with the money laundering.
