"Oh, and speaking of telenovelas, remember Petra and her twin sister, Anezka?" "Well, Petra wanted Anezka out of the country." "Only Anezka married Scott." "And on the topic of family drama," "Rafael recently found out his parents" " weren't really his parents." " Wow." "But before he knew that, he'd covered up his late father's art theft." "So, he came clean to the police." "And they cut him a deal, which included jail time." "And at first, Petra was all..." "No!" "I reject your defeat." "But, ultimately, she changed her mind." "Whatever you want to do, you do." "I want a clean slate." "And now, for the worst of times." "You'll recall, Jane married Michael." "But then, this happened." "And he seemed to recover." "Until..."

"_" "No!" "_" "Abuela, no more yelling, remember?" "We have a new system." "_" "_" "_" "_" "Mateo, put your clothes back on right now." "No, I want to build a fort." "That's one clap of thunder, Mateo." "Now put your clothes back on right now." "Fort, fort, fort." "That's two claps of thunder, Mateo." "No!" "No more thunder!" "Then put your clothes back on so that we can go." "No." "No." "No!" "Fort jump!" "Oh, no." "Don't tell me" "Mr. Sweetface's face is now the only sweet thing about him." "That's three claps of thunder, Mateo." "No, you're a bad head!" "Bad head?" "That's the best you can do?" "Okay, that's it." "It's a rainy day." "No, I don't want it!" "_" "Fort, fort, fort!" "_" "Mm-hmm." "Mateo, get off the couch right now." "No, I hate you!" "You're the worstest mommy in the whole world!" "Well, that's too bad." "You're stuck with me."

"Yep." "That's right." "He's marrying Darci." "Ugh!" "This is a very rainy day, do you hear me, Mateo?" "A very rainy day." "And when I look at you, it's like I won the lottery, and the payouts will last a lifetime." "Oh, no!" "Jane is missing Rogelio's freaking wedding!" "But I also got it in one lump sum." "The lump sum of your love." "Oh, God." "No, no, no." "Ooh, cut!" "Jane's here!" "I'm so sorry, Dad, Darci." "That's fine." "That was just for the master." "We still have a bunch of other angles to shoot." "Okay." "Is that kid gonna keep it together?" "No!" "You do not talk about Matelio, you diabolical shrew." " _" " I thank God every day that" "I never had a baby with you." "And I thank God" "I never tarnished my DNA by co-mingling it with yours." "So yeah." "That true love shtick?" "Strictly for the cameras." "Sorry, we're just tweaking the lighting, folks." "Enjoy a little promo reel." "He came in looking for a match." "But it turned out, the match was her." "Nothing could tear them apart." "Aah!" "Not even fertility problems." "You're my baby." "Or even scarier, his evil ex." "This is ridiculous!" "You've got to be kidding me with this!" "Which brings us to... _" "Yep." "The evil ex." "Why do they keep showing that stupid clip?" "It's completely out of context." "I had just spilled hot coffee on myself." "_" "I know, hon." "Just be glad the show is finally ending." "Thank God." "It'll be nice to go outside again without getting harassed." "How dare you mess with Dargelio!"

"_" "Oh, and Rogelio RSVP'd yes, so we're skipping the Marbella's grand re-opening." "Yep." "You heard that right." "Wait'll you see the brand new Marbella!" "That'll put a smile on your face." "Why is no one smiling?" "This is supposed to be the second happiest place on Earth." "Families are coming here for luxurious fun." "I don't care if a customer is stabbing you with a fork." "You keep smiling." "Perfect." "Now get back to work." "Come on, girls." "You're gonna demo the new pirate treasure hunt." "_" "_" "Wow." "Those are some well-behaved little girls." "I didn't even realize they were there." "Oh, no." "The little man is gonna behave." "We have a new system." "Don't worry." "Please, Mommy, let him come." "Ahoy, mateys!" "To the beach we go." "Ow!" "Mateo!" "It's all right." "I know Mateo's just playing." "Take Pammy the Parrot with you." "Aye, Captain." "Now, the most important part of our treasure hunt is to avoid our dastardly villain." "Chuck." "Ah, yes," "Chuck Chesser." "_" "_" "_" "What are you doing here?" "Just wanted a word about your Critter Cage." "I already told you, we're not moving the Kids' Club." "Not sure you got a choice, darlin'." "Petra." "Look, I'm just here to give you a friendly neighborhood heads-up." "Heard you got a problem with your final inspection." "What?" "No, that can't be right." "He's right." "You have a problem." "The structure is five feet over the property line, which means you can't get your certificate of occupancy for your Kids' Clubhouse." "Uh, the grand opening is in five days, so that's not an option." "Either tear it down or get an easement from your neighbor." "I'll remind you, friends, that neighbor is the scallywag Chuck." "Just breathe." "Freaking out isn't gonna help." "Look who's staying all calm in the face of a crisis." "What's that about?" "I don't need Zen Rafael right now, okay?" "Who the hell goes to prison and comes out softer?" "It was prison." "He got mellow in prison!" "And I knew that." "I was just messing with you." "I'm not trying to be Zen, just reasonable." "I don't need reasonable!" "I need to come up with a plan!" ""I," not "we"?" "I'm letting her take the lead." "The hotel's succeeding because of her rebranding idea." "How do you know it's succeeding?" "It hasn't even opened yet." "We started taking reservations last week, and we are booked solid, six months out." "Oh, wow." "Yeah, that is impressive." "Anyways, Petra's gonna deal with the whole easement thing, so..." "I'm not gonna stress about it." "Okay, Zen Rafael." "I buy one pair of linen pants..." "And grow the world's worst beard." "Why does everyone hate the beard?" "Except Mateo." "Hey, if I'm nervous about his parent-teacher conference tomorrow, then you must be at a nine." "Closer to a ten... thousand." "Just try to breathe." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Don't wear linen pants a-and say good night to Abbey." "Will do." "Jane says good night." "Hmm." "_" "_" "_" "Is Jane okay?" "Yeah." "Just nervous." "Hmm." "Ah, yes." "The big preschool evaluation." "I am so pleased to tell you how much sharing, cooperation, and, well, all around good behavior we've been seeing lately." "Not to mention kindness." "Wow." "Looks like they had nothing to worry about." "You have every reason to be so proud of Ellie and Anna." "Oh, thank you again." "So much, Mrs. Taub." "Oh, no." "Thank you, truly." "They are such a joy." "Oh." "Good luck." "Mateo definitely has a very sweet side." "But he also has some impulse control issues, which, I know, we discussed when we admitted him a few months ago." "Right." "Jane and Rafael decided he needed more structure after the terrible twos stretched to the friggin' fours." "We know that adjusting to a new school can be difficult." "And we empathize." "Thank you so much." "But his behavior's disrupting class, so we would like you to get him an aide." "Excuse me?" "A shadow." "To follow him around and help him, and us, when he acts up." "I know, it's hard to hear, but we have enlisted the help of aides for other children with behavioral issues, and we've had great results." "It just feels so drastic." "Do you really think that's necessary?" "If he wants to stay at the school, then yes." "Good." "This is good." "She gave us two weeks to whip him into shape." "Translation:" "Jane begged." " We can do it." " Hmm." "An aide is just... too extreme." "And, of course, it goes without saying..." "But here she is saying it." " Please, don't tell..." " Hello, hello." "Yep." "That's right." "Petra is the queen of The Marbella and queen of the preschool." "_" "How was the conference?" " Great." " It went well." "Oh." "Whew." "Good."

"Mateo, the girls were just about to have a snack." "Would you like some mini carrots, too?" "Mateo, say thank you." "Carrots... yuk." "Mateo." "We don't throw." "Hey." "You stop that right now." "That is unacceptable behavior." "Petra." "We talked about this." "Please don't discipline my son." "Well, someone has to." "Okay." "I should go." " Okay." "Uh, we'll see you later." " Hmm?" "We're taking the twins to ice cream 'cause they tied for "Best Helper" in class." "Two weeks in a row." "Great." "So happy for them." "Good job, girls." "Thank you, Auntie Jane." "We'll share with Mateo." "Awesome." "Okay." "I have to go to work." "Ah, yes." "Work." "Remember Jane's dream job' with the dream boss?" "Well, over the past few years, that dream boss became..." "The Alvarado manuscript?" "a nightmare." "Yep." "Here you go." "With the edits." "The first round of edits, not the second." "Fine." "So one of the writers dropped out of Miami's Ones to Read." "Really?" "Uh, so-so there's an open slot?" "Yes." "Let me know which ones I should bother to read and which would make me gouge my eyes out." "So I'm gonna submit my novel." "You'll recall we left Jane working on a novel about her Abuela." "_" "Miami One to Read." "Don't get too excited." "Who knows if she'll pick it." "_" "_" "Agreed." "Hi, all." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "They invited me." "What are you doing here?" "_" "_" "Beyond the fact that we love you both, do you know what a giant pain in the ass it is to have you two not speaking?" "Scheduling separate dinners every week." "_" "_" "Well, re-shoots." "_" "_" "Nope." "No way." "Not happening." " That's one." " What was that?" "Oh, come on." "If you two are gonna act like children, then we're gonna treat you like children." "Go." "Make up." "That's two." "As I have told you 1,000 times before," "I am very, very sorry about the way you were portrayed on the De Le Vega-Factor Factor, but I didn't know." "And I had no say in it." "You're a producer." "Everybody that works in television is a producer." "You knew they were gonna portray me like that." " I didn't." " You did." "This is nose-diving fast." "So I don't know what else to say to convince you." "But the bottom line is that the show is over." "_" "So please, can we just put it behind us?" "I've missed you." "Yes." "Okay, let's try." ""And Olivia gives her a kiss back and says," "'I love you anyway, too.'"" "Mommy?" "Yes, Mr. Sweetface." "I'm sorry I'm a bad boy." "Mateo, you are not a bad boy." "Don't ever say that." "You are a good boy... who does things he shouldn't do sometimes." "But everyone does things they shouldn't do sometimes." "Like Olivia in the story when she painted on the walls?" "Yeah." "She should have asked her mommy and used her words." "I try to remember to use my words, but sometimes I just forget." "I know." "I love you, Mommy." "I love you, too, Mateo." " Oh." " You're the best mommy in the world." "Ah." "If only everyone could see this side of him." "Ah, Jane is researching." "Some things never change." "Okay." "Time's up." "But some things do." "Okay." "My plan is to track Mateo's meltdowns for a week to see if there any triggers to get to the root of the problem." "Okay." "My plan is martial arts." "Did you get that plan from Petra?" "No." "It's from me." "I like what Ellie and Anna get from it." "And research says that it teaches discipline and that it's really great for overactive kids like Mateo." "Okay." "So we have a two-pronged plan." "Track his meltdowns and martial arts." "Wow." "Admire his commitment to late modern Florida bro-chic with classic douche accents." "I need your signature on this easement." "Ooh." "No can do." "You know how I feel about that kids club." "Screeching rodents are gonna kill the sensual vibe of my adults-only pool." "Move that little brat bin to the other side of your property." "That's ridiculous; you know the tides there are way too dangerous for kids." "On the other hand, overpopulation is a major concern." "_" "Look." "I'm a reasonable person, so how about this?" "We split the cost of moving your pool." "Shut down my pool during peak season?" "You couldn't pay me enough." "Well, I'm not moving my clubhouse." "Great." "Then I'm gonna tear it down." "Oh, we'll see about that." "That conclude our business here?" "'Cause I got ten minutes to kill before my next meeting." "Fine, but this is the last time." "And wipe those greasy hands first." "Yeah." "So let's give them some privacy." "Okay, class, stand up." "Ah, yes." "Martial arts." "Fingers crossed it helps." "All right." "Now close your eyes." "Mateo." "Pay attention, Mateo." "Stand still." "I can't." "I have the wiggles." "Of course you can." "You're only as weak as you think you are."

"Let's begin." "Wow." "Look at that." "Punch, kick." "I'm ready for a fight." "And I am more than willing to play dirty." "Tell me more." "I did a little research." "Turns out those lobsters you love so much?" "The ones that have been on your hotel's secret menu for the past month?" "Mmm." "Granny-slapping good." "Whatever that means." "They're also illegal." "It's off-season for the spiny lobster in Florida." "And each poaching violation can get you up to six months in jail, plus your fishing boat can get impounded." "Uh-oh." "Petra's lobster claws are coming out." " Really?" " And if you don't sign this easement," "I will turn you in." "So, as our wildlife commissioner says... _" "Wow." "Now you're gonna quote Uncle Bobby?" "What?" "Florida wildlife commissioner's my Uncle Bobby." "And I'll clear up any violations when I see him at poker night." "Thanks, though." "Okay." "Good." "Okay, this is good." "She just tweeted that her green tea latte is #LiquidZen." "And Lena Dunham just faved it." "Go." "Go." "Okay." "I'm going." "Don't be scared, but don't be too confident."

" gazillion!" " This is why I don't want to do it!" "Everybody just calm down, okay?" "Rogelio, just answer me one question, okay?" "Hmm?" "Would this change your mind?" "Ah, yes..." "The American version of The Passions of Santos." "You'll recall this was a passion project of Rogelio's."

"Jackson's having his birthday party, and everyone's invited but me." "Aw." "Honey, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding." "Hey." "So, this is awkward, uh, but Mateo didn't get an invite to Jackson's party." "And I'm sure it's just 'cause he's new, so..." "No, it's because he hit Jackson last week." "And we wrote an apology card." "And he's in martial arts, so that's helping." "I'm sorry, we can't have that sort of behavior at Jackson's party." "Look, I'm sure this school has a policy about inviting all the kids." " We actually don't." " Well, that's crazy." "Take it up with the PTA." "And, of course, the president of said PTA is..."

"But that is not why I'm here." "I went back to the original plans... and look... right there." "That 8 used to be a 3." "Someone tampered with it so we'd build the kids' club over the property line and have to take it down." "Who would do that?" "And how would they gain access to the blueprints?" "Uh, there are some greasy fingerprints along the edges." "Oh, Chuck..." "Wait." "You and Chuck?" "Stop." "It's embarrassing enough, okay?" "It's just with all the stress of remodeling and opening the Marbella... hate sex with him was my only escape." "Well, that's not as bad as when I thought you were sleeping with Scott." "Don't remind me." "Hey, whatever happened to that guy anyway?" "Good point." "I haven't seen him since..." "I am done with you!" "You are fired!" "You can't fire me." "What the hell is that?"
