California of 1783 A tale of Serra and Don Pedro
In early colonial California a clash between church and state unfolds as Fray Junipero Serra and Don Pedro Fages clash over mission founding. Eulalia travels from Mexico, pursued by courtly promises and family ties, while Fray Palou and two errant priests complicate the quest. Indizuela and Angustias, with a Maya-inflected pageant, shape loyalties as the saga moves toward Santa Barbara.

Winter Haze Deepens at Monte rey and Mission Carmelo
The Royal Presidio of Monte rey and Mission San Carlos at Carmelo endure a wet, windy winter as the Rio Carmelo floods and seagulls haunt the skies. Don Pedro Fages and Eulalia cope with trauma and gloom while Fray Fermin Lasuen anticipates founding Mission Santa Barbara despite the Governor's absence. Santa Barbara’s feast day nears with prayers, bells, and hopeful visions of a grand temple. The scene closes with a sunset glow over Monterey as social notices recap guests’ visits.
