Estelle asks Serafina to make a rose-colored shirt for her lover from expensive silk; Serafina does not know that the lover is Rosario and that Estelle has recently gotten a tattoo of a rose on her chest to match his. That night, Rosario is killed in an accident while trying to evade police during a smuggling run.
