Hey, Don Máximo!

- You're pregnant. - What?!

Uh huh, very mature.

What drama!

Are we done here, "Don Máximo?"

A disaster. A total disaster.

Are you trying to poison Máximo's coworkers?

Not that they don't deserve it.

Working in that opulent den of sin.

Don't forget the salt.

I'm expecting a very important international call.

Aída's calling from her college tour in the States.

Do not touch that phone when it rings! Please.

Okay, okay, relax.

Who's Aída?

Just a friend.

It's fine. It might kill her.

- Then definitely tell her. Hmm. - Mom!

You don't put peanuts in your romeritos?!

Are you mad?

It's the only way to get any texture!

This is only a handful of ingredients, Nora.

In my romeritos, I use cilantro, cumin, cinnamon, raisins...

Aren't you going to say anything?

Oh. Sorry. What happened now?

I'm so engrossed in my Agatha Christie.

You haven't turned the page in fifteen minutes.

Because I'm looking for clues!

Look: when I agreed to let your mom move in,

you promised you'd help set boundaries.

I know, but

are we sure she can handle it?

I mean, she forgot to turn the stove off twice last week.

She's not used to me contradicting her.

I just don't want to confuse her.

Mentally speaking.

Are we sure it's not just an act?

She seems pretty sharp to me.

...I also use pasilla chiles, ancho chiles, chicken broth, nopales...

BE QUIET!

Hi.

I'll cut to the chase.

It's time for your first real challenge as Head of Operations.

So you need to take this seriously.

Don Chávez, our lime supplier,

is trying to squeeze us.

"Squeeze." "Us."

"Limes."

It's funny because...

- Go on. - Chávez just doubled our per-lime cost.

And because he's the only supplier in town,

he thinks he can get away with it.

I need you to show Don Chávez that we will not be taken advantage of.

If we don't have limes, the entire resort is doomed.

"Kelly" for short.

She's the love of my life.

She keeps me young.

Along with the best lime juice in Guerrero.

Can I offer you a glass?

We drink it straight here.

Enjoy.

Are you okay? Your hair is de-curling.

Not now, Dulce.

So, Don Máximo...

How does it feel to be the boss at such a young age?

Look, Don Chávez,

I don't have time for chit-chat.

I need to know why you suddenly changed your prices.

It's simple.

When Don Pablo left, our arrangement left with him-

But that's not fair!

We will not be taken advantage of!

Don't talk to me that way.

I get agitated

and when I get agitated I become stressed.

That's why I got Kelly. To help with stress.

I don't do well with stress...

Well, I don't do well with unfair deals!

So if you don't give us our old rate back,

maybe we won't buy any limes at all!

Very well.

Great idea.

No limes at all for Las Colinas.

Good luck getting through the holidays.

That was terrible.

If Vera finds out I blew the deal,

I could be fired before I even get to celebrate being hired.

Well, if you go, I go.

We're a package deal. It's me and my HO.

We can fix this.

We still have limes at the hotel.

We just need to convince Don Chávez to change his mind before we run out.

There's only one question we should be asking:

What would Don Pablo do in this situation?

Honestly, he'd take you to the hospital.

I think you've got lime poisoning.

Your right eye is still closed.

No. I mean with Don Chávez.

We've got to get leverage on him.

Fast.

On it, boss...

Thanks for talking with me on your lunch break.

No problem.

I was just going to read this new parenting book I bought.

Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care.

It claims to be "the only book you need on parenting,"

so after reading it, I should have this whole mom thing licked!

Well...

the thing is...

I've been holding in a secret for a while

and I just can't keep it to myself any longer.

Oh my God if you're pregnant,

I'll die.

Our kids will be best friends!

Or lovers!

Or both!

Um, no. It's not that.

So, I'm going to march up to Vera today and tell him I'm done.

We're going to do great things together.

...So what am I supposed to think now?

I want to believe Máximo is the type of person

to do the right thing.

But in moments like this...

I don't know what to say, Julia.

Except that you need to be honest with Máximo.

And trust that you can work through it.

Plus...

you're awful at hiding how you really feel.

That summer I cut my own bangs,

you never once looked me directly in the face.

You looked like an adorable alpaca...

Thank you.

I felt like I was going to explode.

Feeling better?

Yes but please promise me you won't tell anyone about this.

Oh no. My God.

Why does it smell like another woman's romeritos in here?

You saw me making mine!

I did?

It must've slipped my mind--

What with my condition.

Plus, mine is way better.

You can't have dueling romeritos at the same posada!

Nonsense! Let the people decide.

Mom!

Put the grass down.

Look.

This is my wife's kitchen.

Not yours.

And while we both agreed to let you stay with us.

We will not be bullied in our own home.

She decides what dishes we serve and that's final.

I can't believe this!

Me neither!

My only child would talk to me like that.

At my advanced age.

Anyways-

who gets a clown piñata for a posada?

I'll be in my room.

It was all that was left!

It was either this or El Chavo del Ocho.

She's cold, right?

Do you have something to wrap her in?

I've got it all mapped out.

If we use the irrigation system,

we can sneak in, drop off Kelly, and get out undetected.

And if we do get caught,

I'll take the fall.

Tell my family I love them.

Except Inés.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Thank God.

I've been looking everywhere for her!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks again for finding my Kelly and bringing her back.

I can't believe she wandered so far away.

I was starting to suspect foul play,

but you'd have to be a madman to steal a cute little dog.

Or "madwoman."

It's a brave new world, sir.

Where was this version of you the other day?

You came in here so cocky. Just straight to business.

I just didn't want to seem weak.

There's nothing weak about being kind.

But with Don Pablo-- he was always so tough.

I was just trying to fill his shoes.

You think Don Pablo was "tough?"

He got a good deal because he treated his vendors like friends.

We walked these fields many times...

To become the boss, at your age,

it must've been a fight.

But trust me,

getting the job and keeping it

are two different things.

My mom is trying to serve her romeritos.

Over my dead body.

No, no, wait.

I told her she could.

Thank you for standing up for me earlier.

Talking all tough while waving that clown around...

But I think that's what I needed--

more than serving a dish nobody really likes.

She can have this one.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

You're as noble as you are beautiful.

Now I just have to figure out how to get out of eating my mom's romeritos.

She gets her grass from the park!

Hey!

Where's Máximo?

He skipped out on all the party prep.

You know how many sugar canes

I had to stick up this guy's butt?

He's not here yet?

I've been trying to find him all day...

I'll go look around.

Pull it up.

Are you guys still spiraling?

You're killing my festive mood.

How are we going to take care of a baby

if we can't take care of a little dog?

You want to know the secret to parenting?

Here it is.

- It's empty. - Exactly.

There is no secret.

Every parent I know freaked out at first.

But they figured it out.

And so will you two.

Wait, is that one of the fake gifts from the lobby?

Why do you keep stealing them if they're empty?

It's not empty anymore.

Nora! I have a gift for you!

Maybe your Tía's right.

This isn't something we're going to master overnight.

Yeah, so what if we couldn't take care

of a weird, hairy "baby" that pees on all fours?

Our kids will be a combination of us,

so they'll be adorable rays of sunshine!

Come on, Juan, try the romeritos!

In fact, why don't you take the whole thing?

My love.

Oh man, you are a sight for sore eyes.

This day was crazy.

Is everything going okay?

Yeah, yeah...

Actually, no, Máximo.

We need to talk.

I've been trying to put aside what happened with Vera,

but I can't.

And you don't have to.

Honestly, I've been avoiding talking, too,

but now is the perfect time...

I'm not proud of going back on my word with Vera,

but something about him asking me in front of my family...

After this being my goal for so long,

I couldn't say no.

And that's what worries me!

That, in those defining moments, you chose work over everything--

Let's go, Máxi and Julia!

We're literally carrying you.

I know I don't have the best track record,

but believe me: staying on at Las Colinas

isn't just about business.

I've seen the way Sr. Vera operates.

So now I have to keep the job to protect the staff,

our friends, that have always been there for me...

I get that, my love. I do.

Just promise me you'll always

be true to the amazing, kind guy that I know.

Okay, we'll finish talking later.

But I'm glad everything's out in the open now.

Diane and Don Pablo, Máximo?

You helped to get rid of them?

How could you?!

I don't understand.

Only you and Memo knew.

How'd they find out?

I, uh... I don't know.

Promise me you won't tell anyone about this.

This needs more grass.
