As Season 4, Episode 8 of Mayans M.C. shows, EZ is now on a full-blown mission to increase his personal body count. EZ brutally kills Canche (Jimmy Gonzales), the president of the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Yuma charter. In essence, EZ once again proves that he needs barely any rhyme or reason to whip out his trusty gun.
The attack marks a major shift for the Santo Padre charter and the Yuma charter alike. Immediately after the unconscionable act, EZ proceeds to conduct some shop talk with Manny (Manny Montana), a member of the Yuma Mayans. He offers his condolences before encouraging him to launch a leadership bid to become the new leader of the Yuma Mayans. Manny doesn't seem to buy into EZ's lies but he doesn't subject him to thorough enough questioning either.
In an earlier scene in the same episode, EZ pays an impromptu visit to his father, a retiring butcher named Felipe (Edward James Olmos), to share the latest revelation he had about himself. As he explains, he discovered that he is actually pure evil — and cold-blooded murder might just be where it's at for him. After EZ leaves, Felipe breaks down crying.
"My heart breaks for Felipe. He really tried to save EZ and Gabby. Great scene," tweeted @AliciaS06427100.
Also in Season 4, Episode 8, EZ and his brother, Angel (Clayton Cardenas), have a heart-to-heart before the attack at the Sons of Anarchy clubhouse — as part of which Angel tells EZ that Gaby's murder has had an emotional effect on him. EZ doesn't seem to follow the same school of thought, seemingly basing his newfound self-image on the idea that he killed someone close to him.
