The description for the show Cartel Crew season 2 episode 1 named "Homecoming" is as follows:
In the season 2 premiere of Cartel Crew, the members of the crew return to Miami after a brief hiatus. The episode opens with Marie, who is returning from Puerto Rico, where she had gone to put her family first, leaving her business pursuits behind.
The highlight of the episode is the homecoming party thrown by Michael Zavala, an ex-convict who is looking to start afresh. The party serves as a reunion for all the members of the crew, who have been through thick and thin together. They reminisce about their past, sharing stories of how they had to abandon their lives in the cartel business due to the dangers it involved, and how they had kept their families at arm's length to avoid exposing them to danger.
One of the main characters, Katherine, is dealing with her father's imprisonment and how it has impacted her life. As someone who has been in this world of cartels, she is used to keeping things to herself, but as she opens up about her father's situation, we see her vulnerable side.
Another character, Stephanie, is dealing with her mother's addiction to drugs. She's barely scrapped through her own addiction and is grappling with her mother's addiction as well. She reveals that she doesn't know how to be a support system for her when she can barely keep herself together.
Marie, meanwhile, is seen talking to some of the members of the crew. Most of them still don't understand why she had to leave the way she did but are glad to have her back.
The return of the crew also marks a new chapter in their lives, with many of them returning to businesses that they have put on hold to avoid detection. For example, Nicole, who had been running her business on the low, takes it up a notch by expanding her product line.
As the party continues, Michael reveals to the crew that he wants to start a new business venture and is looking for investors. Most of the crew is skeptical about jumping into the venture, given that they've seen how things can go south in this world.
The episode ends with some members of the crew, including Michael and Kat, catching up with Danny, a former member of the crew who had been deported. They share with him their newest challenges and how they are trying to forge a new path in life. Danny also reveals he wants to start a new life in Mexico and is asking for advice on how to do that.
Overall, the first episode of season 2 of Cartel Crew is a great reintroduction to the world of former cartel members, their struggles, and how they are working towards making a new life for themselves. The show continues to provide insight into this often unexplored world and is a must-watch for anyone interested in the complexities of the cartel business.
