Zorro - The Three Funeral Mask Dance

The final episode of the season resolves the long-running subplot of Guadalupe Montoro (Cecilia Suárez) without much fanfare.

Our case of the week involves a con artist (Noah Bean) pretending to be a Naval Intelligence officer while conning a slew of female entrepreneurs.
