♪ ♪

- My Tía Lorena has been looking forward

to a quick visit from my Tío Julian,

who was stationed overseas.

However, the weather has something to say about that.

- Hey, so apparently because of the possible hurricane,

they're canceling all the flights

in an out of Cancún.

- That's ridiculous.

I mean, sure, it's a little cloudy,

but it'll clear before you know it.

[thunder cracks]

- Starting to see why that weatherperson thing

didn't pan out.

- [garbled speech] Sorry...but...you're...

really...super annoying...

so much so...

- Um, obviously bad reception.

- Nah, I think Julian nailed it.

[thunder rumbling]

[choppy audio]

- Julian?

[thunder booms]

Julian? [grunts]

Great, now he's frozen.

- Wow, it's like it knows.

- Looks like we're gonna have to hunker down

inside all day.

- Well, this sucks.

- Victoria, ya!

There will be a day when you will wish

we could be trapped together. Hmm?

- Maybe so. Just not today.

- Ana, I just got off the phone with the spa.

They lost electricity in Cancún.

Looks like our spa day is canceled.

- [speaking Spanish]

So now we are all just trapped together?

- One day you'll wish

we could all be trapped together.

- Mm.

- I guess I could work on my book.

- Well, you're almost done.

- Yeah, I really should finish it.

I'm sure you're all tired of hearing about it by now.

[all speaking at once] - No, not at all.

- No, did you mention it?

- Okay, okay, now. I get it, I get it.

You won't have to hear about it soon, hmm?

You know, there is an ancient Mayan say--

- Save it...

for the book.

♪ ♪

- Sometimes, storms can bring families together.

And when that happens,

hidden truths and feelings can be revealed.

- So we are all stuck together,

and I have so many things to do.

- Have you seen this?

- Now we're talking about you again?

- Yes. There's an article online

about Club Elefante Picoso.

[thunder cracks]

- Oy. Um, so you didn't know about this?

- No.

There's supposed to be an interview

with one of the owners, and it's not me.

- I know.

- Wait.

Oh, you gotta be kidding.

- [sighs]

- If you see Carlos,

tell him I'd like to see him in my office.

- So it's gonna be a super fun inside day.

- You're back, you're back! Okay, everybody zip it.

Except you, Julian, you unzip it--I mean talk.

- Yeah, so listen, is Max there with you?

- No, he's in his room. But I can get him.

- No, no, no, don't get him.

I just want to talk to you about something important.

- What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?

- Well, the other day, a friend of mine

got a Dear John letter, and it got me thinking about--

[choppy audio]

- Uh, thinking what?

Unfreeze! [thunder rumbles]

Ugh!

Hello? Julian? Julian?

Julian? Hello?

- Storm's totally messing with her head.

- Whoa.

- Yo. Ana said you wanted to talk to me.

Should I close the door? - No.

Might not be able to get them open again.

The weather makes them swell... like your head.

- What are you talking about?

- I saw your online article.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

- I didn't want to bother you with it?

Besides, I'm kind of the face of the club.

- Really?

So I guess you also think that the club

is entirely your "brainchild"?

- That was taken a little out of context.

- Not sure you get

the finger quotes thing either, bud.

- Okay, I came up with most of the design

for the club, so yeah, maybe I do think of it

as my brainchild. - [scoffs]

- And the apps are your brain farts.

♪ ♪

- Oh, there's my laptop.

- Oh, yeah, sorry.

It was open to your book so I started reading it.

- You--you read my book?

- Some of it. - Oh, well,

I'm sure it's a bit complex for you.

Did you enjoy it?

- Some of it.

- Well, which some of it did you enjoy?

- I really liked the part with the jaguar.

Like, how they weren't afraid of it,

so then it became their friend.

That was so cool!

- That's because the jaguar is a metaphor

for the fearlessness of the Mayan people.

Maybe I should emphasize that more.

- Cool! More jaguar!

- This is good. This is really good.

Mm.

- Mom, since you're making us stay in

for this imaginary hurricane,

can we have extra screen time today?

- Hmm.

I think we can make that happen.

[cheering] - Thanks, Mom!

- Oh! [chuckles]

More screen time equals less scream time.

- Please.

- God, I was so looking forward

to our spa day today, though.

- You know what? We can still have it.

- Yeah. I mean, I guess we could make one upstairs.

We have robes, and there's plenty of mud outside.

- A homemade spa? Eh, I don't know.

all: No! [children shrieking]

- "No!" I know that grito.

That's a "Mamá, the internet is down" scream.

- Mamá, the internet is down!

- There's nothing to do!

- Why? Why?

- Okay.

- I'll get the mud. - I'll get the wine.

- I'll bring the glasses.

- Puede hacer. - Why?

- Big ones.

- What was that part where you said

that working with your brother was "interesting"?

- Yeah, interesting. As in, not boring.

- Oh, we both know what "interesting" means.

- Then why are you asking me?

- 'Cause I want you to admit it.

I want you to say that what you actually mean

is "terrible."

Like when Dad wants us to watch one of his taped lectures

or when Yunjin gives you one of those

New Age-y things for your birthday.

- Hey, hey, I love my realization crystals.

- Okay.

- Shh. - Yeah.

Admit it. You hate working with me.

- I'll admit, at times it's challenging.

- You know what I find challenging?

Looking through the expense reports

and finding that you charged an in-home massage

to the company card.

- I'm more productive when I'm relaxed.

- Really?

'Cause you got the massage last week,

so when does the productive part kick in?

'Cause there's literally a pile of work

with your name on it.

Now that I think about it, I can't ever actually recall

seeing you read, but I assume you can.

- I can read. Yeah, I don't need this.

I'm going for a walk on the beach.

- You can't go for a walk on the beach.

There's a hurricane coming.

- You love being so smart, huh?

Just telling me things that I don't know.

- Yeah, well, let me tell you something else you don't know.

You closed the doors,

so we're probably stuck inside now.

- What? No they're not.

[grunts] Well--

- Those are stuck too.

Well, this is "interesting."

- I'm so bored.

The internet has been out forever.

- Max, the internet has only been out for ten minutes.

You're not gonna die.

- I'm so bored.

[groans]

What's that?

- Please be a secret portal

to a world with pizza and internet.

- The 1%.

- Yeah, it's called a board game.

- Does it need internet?

- I don't think they had internet way back then.

- Nah, we were too busy chasing dinosaurs.

- So it appears the point of the game

is to get as much money and property as possible,

exploiting the oppressed and bankrupting everyone

until you win and become part of the top 1%.

- Yeah, fun for the whole family.

- Ew.

- Andrea, can I talk to you for a second?

I have some more questions about my book.

- I don't know, this game sounds kind of fun.

- Well, you know what's even more fun

than a million dollars of fake game money?

$5 of real money.

- Don't give in to his materialistic bribe, Andrea.

You're better than that!

- $10.

- I'm not better than that. Deal!

[thunder booms]

- Plus, you can help me close the shutters.

All of them. Come on.

- Oh, man. I should have asked for 20.

- Bye, Andrea. - Love you.

- [sighs] - This is amazing.

- [sighs] Who knew a mask and some wine

could turn this day around?

- I love my children immensely,

but sometimes I imagine they've grown up,

and the house is finally quiet.

But I'm sure when it actually happens,

it will kill me.

- Come on, bars!

Mama needs bars!

- Don't worry, they tend to find their way back.

- Mm-hmm. - Um, what's happening here?

- We're having a mother-daughter spa day.

- Oh, I didn't know that was happening.

And that's funny, because I'm the original daughter.

The O.D.

- Would you like to join us, honey?

- Yeah, is that okay?

all: Of course!

- No, no.

I'm super anxious about something important

Julian has to talk to me about.

- Honey, it's fine. He loves you.

- I know, but the last time we spoke, he just--

he had this look on his face.

- What look? - Tommy St. Claire look.

- Oh, Tommy St. Claire.

- Right before he broke my heart

and shattered my world.

- Eighth grade.

- Oh. - Mm.

- I have to talk to Julian.

And I have to find a bar.

Not that kind of bar, the phone bar.

Ugh.

- She could use the drink kind right now.

- Cheers to that.

- Salud.

- Mm.

- [grunts] Stupid door!

- You're wasting your time.

Let's just hope that when this is all over,

you're not the face of some flooded club.

But I guess that's what insurance is for.

- Yeah...

- The club is insured, right?

- I'm pretty sure it is.

- Pretty sure it is?

[thunder rumbles]

- Well, Pablo and Pato were taking care of that.

And you know for a fact that they did, right?

And you don't!

- I sort of remember them maybe talking

about having done it.

- Well, as long as you crossed your "sortas"

and dotted your "maybes,"

we have nothing to worry about.

- Look, I'll just call them and...

- And there's no reception. - Wait till I have reception.

See, you didn't let me finish.

- It's stuff like this-- the forgetting,

the not checking, the not being on top of things.

This is why I've felt like I've had to take care of you

all these years.

- Take care of me?

You? Taking care of me?

Wow.

- Three, four, five.

Beverly Hills Drive.

You know, I already own that property,

but I just came to check out my big, huge, fat mansion.

- One, two.

- Guess you owe me 500 bucks.

- Can you cut me some slack this once?

I just got out of debtors' prison.

- Yeah, I guess I could...

or you could just pay me.

Because, you know, those are the rules.

And without rules, who are we? A lawless society?

Am I righty? - But I'm almost broke.

- Well, then I guess you should have thought

about that before doing whatever it is you did

to end up in debtors' prison.

- I rolled a five.

- Exactly.

- [chuckles] I--I have to say,

this was such a great idea, Sonia.

- Oh, yes. I needed this so bad.

I mean, between the guys, the club opening,

the parks, my brother-- ay, no, ya, ya, ya.

- I needed the time away from Ray and his book.

[all chuckle]

Plus, my clients at work.

- Work?

- What work?

[dramatic music]

[thunder rumbles]

- So if you were to say one thing that's missing

in my book, what would it be?

- Hmm. I don't know. Um, fairies?

- Aha. So a sense of enchantment.

Of course.

Anything else?

- What if they fought dinosaurs?

- So what were their unexpected adversaries?

Yes!

- Or...went to Mars.

- And their attempts to reach beyond their world.

Yeah, they were amazing astronomers.

Yes! Yes.

- Abuelo, do you mind if I say something?

- No, no, go ahead.

- I'm just saying kid things.

And you're using them to think of stuff

you already have in your brain.

The last two were just things in my room.

I'm not nearly as smart as you,

but it seems to me you're just trying to be okay

with finishing your book.

- Don't ever say you're not as smart as me.

- [clears throat]

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Just a little more of that. Maybe a little more?

Thank you. - Cuente los mas.

So you've been secretly working at the salon for three weeks?

- And no one knows?

- Your mother knows. - Oh, so everyone knows.

- No, she hasn't told anybody.

I just feel so guilty not telling Ray about it.

- Well, you said it hasn't affected your blood pressure,

so you would just be worrying him needlessly.

- Besides, we lie to our husbands

all the time, right? - Yeah.

- You lie to my sons?

- We lie to our husbands.

- [giggles] Nothing big.

I mean, just stuff like when I met you,

I didn't really like you, though.

[chuckles]

- Shh. - Nothing personal, suegrita.

But I told George I loved you, and now I do.

- One time it was Carlos's birthday,

and I forgot to get him a gift,

so I found a shiny rock at the car wash

and I told him it was a "realization crystal."

- [laughs]

- He still uses it.

- And do you know, those crazy "Mexican" sayings?

Sometimes I just make them up.

And when I see George using them

on real Mexican people, I just laugh so hard.

- So, Sonia, your secret is safe with us.

- Yeah, this room is like Vegas.

Whatever happens here stays here.

- Yes. - Ooh.

Carlos thinks I'm strict vegan, but let's just say

that on a bad day, a cow might pay the price.

- Oh, Yunjin! - Moo.

[both laugh]

- Pobre vaca.

- What's for dinner?

[all laughing]

- Two, three, four.

- Welcome to Bel-Air Place.

You can stay as long as you want

for the small fee of $10,000.

Will that be cash or cash?

- I thought you were a humanitarian.

- I am.

And if this was real life,

I would think that accumulating all this wealth

while 25% of the people on the planet

don't have access to clean drinking water

would be absolutely disgusting.

But it's not. It's a game.

So pay up.

Double or nothing.

- We choose nothing.

- Nothing!

- Hey, what did I do?

- I didn't mean what I said. It was--

- Taken out of context? 'Cause I was here,

and I heard all the context.

- Sometimes I feel like you're ungrateful.

And I think it would be nice if you could acknowledge

what a good thing that was.

- Dude, the only reason you were able to do that

is because you got lucky.

Okay? You created a fart app.

And next thing you know, you think you're

some kind of super genius.

- It paid for this killer house and our lifestyles.

You still think you're back in high school.

You're still pretending to be some famous DJ.

Maybe you should stop trying to be something you're not.

- Oh, really, Señor Mexicano.

You know, I think you should stop pretending

to be something that we all know you're not.

- [speaking Spanish]

- Yeah well, you see, that whole riff right there

is totally wasted, 'cause guess what.

I still don't speak Spanish!

- You know what? For the first time,

I feel that if we weren't related,

we wouldn't even be friends.

- Right back at you.

- Great news, there's a break in the rain,

so I'm trying the last place in the house

to get through to Julian, and let me tell you,

when I talk to him, he has some explaining to do.

Especially-- - Lorena!

- Hello? - Are you alone?

- Yes.

- I'm out of here. - Me too.

- Ugh, thank God.

I'm so happy I finally got through.

- So, um, what was it that you wanted

to talk to me about?

- Well, after what happened with my friend

and the Dear, John letter, it got me thinking

how lucky I am to have you and Max.

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate

that you're such a great mother

to our son.

He's so happy, and I know it's not easy

to do on your own.

So it just makes me love you.

That's all. - Aww.

Is that it?

- What do you mean, "Is that it?"

What did you think I was gonna say?

Oh, you thought I was gonna Tommy St. Claire you,

didn't you? - [scoffs] No.

I haven't thought about him in years.

And thank you.

I try to make sure Max feels special every day.

But wait, why didn't you want him on the call?

- 'Cause I wanted to know what you had planned

for his birthday.

- His what?

- His birthday! You know, in a few weeks?

Same day every year.

- Oh, yeah.

I've got something huge planned.

- Okay, great! Tell me all about it.

- I will when I think of it.

I--I mean, when I get it out, silly.

I-- [thunder rumbles]

[sighs]

[choppy audio] Julian?

Thank God. Finally this weather saves me.

Come on!

- Well, I--I think it's fine.

- Oh, what a beautiful day.

- Yeah, it looks like the storm turned away from Cancún

and headed out to sea.

[cheers and applause]

Great, now I'm the old guy who talks about the weather.

- Que padre estar aquí de nuevo, verdad?

It's so nice to be here outside again.

- It does.

- Hey, mi amor, what's that dicho

about the first morning after a rainy day?

- Oh, sí.

"Cuando el pico de un gallo brilla más,

hacer reir a la vaca."

- "When the chicken's beak shines the most,

it makes the cow laugh"?

- Aha, excelente.

- Isn't that beautiful, George?

- Mm. - Yeah.

Yeah, it really is, isn't it?

- Well, you kids must be happy to have the internet back.

all: Yes. - It's the best.

- But we were actually thinking about playing

a board game later.

- Oh, bien.

- Just not The 1%.

And definitely not with Victoria.

- I guess I got a little carried away.

- You have no soul.

- Oh, my God. - Maxie!

- I have an announcement to make.

I finished my book.

[cheers and applause]

And Andrea, I have one last little favor to ask you.

Um, could you check the spelling on this page?

Read that out loud. - Okay.

"I would like to dedicate this book

"to my wonderful family, and a special thank you

to my granddaughter Andrea..." - Aww.

- Que lindo.

- "For teaching me to get out of my own way."

Thank you, Abuelo.

You're the best. - You--aww.

So I heard you guys were stuck in the office all day.

You get some work done?

I guess not.

[phone buzzing]

- Hey, Pablo.

I've been trying to get ahold of you, man.

- Hey, everyone. Someone wants to say hi!

- Hi, Julian. - Hi, Tío Julian.

- Hi, everyone! - Hi, Dad!

- Hey, buddy!

- Ugh, it's so nice to talk to you

without losing reception.

- Yeah, it really--

- Oh, my God, are you k-- - Kidding!

- Ugh. Ay, que chistoso. I'll call you later.

Love you, bye. - Love you, bye.

- Talk to you later.

- Is everything okay, mijo?

- Well, the good news is the club is insured.

- Well, that's great. - Okay, so what's the bad news?

- The heavy rains collapsed the roof at the club.

- [gasps] So sorry.

- I don't know when we're gonna be able

to open up again.

- Oh, I'm so sorry, honey.

- I knew this was a bad investment!

- Okay, well at least I tried something different.

- I'll be in my office. - Papi.

- I'm gonna go for a walk.

- And sometimes when the storm outside

has finally subsided, the one inside has just begun.

One that will take all the strong love of family

to weather.
