Such as killing Marias dog and being treated like an animal for being a clone. Matt then thinks that he is going to be used for something great! It turns out that he is going to be used for his heart so he can give it to El Patron. But when it came time to give his heart to El Patron, Matts "mom' Celia poisoned Matts heart. Not enough to kill him, but enough so he didnt have to give it to El Patron. Matt then gets sent away and faces a whole other trouble in Alacran where he is forced to work.

Then Matt realizes he can make his own identity by making his own choices.
