Biography Edit

Before Aleida and Daya's incarceration Edit

Aleida and Lola sit in the back garden of their house while Aleida is smoking, discussing camps. Aleida mentions she wants to send Daya to one, but Lola points out how programs like this think they can raise the city's children better than the parents. Lola suggests Aleida should stay in her daughter's life.

Aleida ignores this advice and sends Daya to camp ("Don't Make Me Come Back There").

Season One Edit

Lola appears watching over Cesar and Aleida at visitation. When Aleida says that Daya is "fine", Lola asks why she isn't arround to say hello to her family. Lola tells Aleida that she had better not be fighting with Daya ("WAC Pack").
