So Antonio goes into Ultima's room and notices the three wax covered dolls, one of which appears to be in pain, from when she was curing Lucas. Ultima forbids Antonio from touching them and he must stay away. Soon after, someone bursts into their home announcing that one of Tenorio's daughters has died, and they claim that there was a bag of herbs from Ultima underneath her bed. Now, a Tenorio and a drunk mob were coming to kill a witch, or Ultima. Someone proposes a test to see whether or not Ultima is a witch. She appears to have passed the test, but Antonio is unsure about it. However, it is time to go to Antonio's mother's relative's farm for the annual harvest, and for the first time, Antonio's father is coming. There, Lucas's brother Pedro talks to Antonio about why he didn't come to warn Ultima of the lynch mob. He was scared, but will stand by Ultima from now on. He continues on to describe the funeral of the dead Trementina sister. Of course, Antonio has a dream about it, and instead of seeing the dead sister, he sees Ultima in the coffin.

The book has me confused a little bit still. But I enjoy it for the most part. It's very intriguing because of the religious views of it. I understand why it's caused lots of controversy. Personally, it doesn't matter to me..
