Ronnie AnneMom, Dad, are you okay?
Mijo, what's gotten into you?!
We did all of this work to get you two here, so we can all have a lifetime of happiness! You're not leaving here until you get back together again, just like Ernesto said.
So that's what this is about.
Huh? Can someone tell me what's going on?
Ronnie Anne
[sighs] Ernesto Estrella predicted you guys would get back together tonight. Hearing it out loud now, it does kind of sound silly, huh?
[as she and Arturo smile at each other] I don't think it was silly. I mean, we are together tonight.
[disappointed] Yeah, but, it's just one dumb night. Not a lifetime.
But we'll be a family for a lifetime.
[The Santiagos all come in for a group hug]
And, hey, what if we made it a regular thing? A family pizza night every month.
And BOOM! A lifetime of happiness after all. Ernesto is the best-o! Estrella out!
Ronnie Anne
You should have seen her, Sid. I don't think I've ever seen Abuela more excited about anything.
Aww! I think it's kind of sweet that she cares so much about your party!
Ronnie Anne
Sid, all my Saturdays. You'll never see me again until I'm fifteen.
Did I say sweet? I meant WAY over the top! I'm on your side.
Ronnie Anne
[sits on the bed] The whole day she was going on about family and tradition. How do I get out of it?
Without bumming her out too much. [Nico suddenly comes out from under the bed with an idea, and a wrench] Huh. I'll run it by her. Nico says for the small price of a new tire swing and some bananas, he can keep your grandma so busy she won't have time to count to fifteen.
[Nico offers a handshake]
Ronnie Anne
Deal. [shakes Nico's hand]
Ronnie Anne
What? What? Now I'm gonna lose my Sundays and Friday nights too? I don't know how even she doesn't get tired of all of this.
Hmm. But what if she did? What if you gave her a taste of her own medicine?.
Ronnie Anne
Oh, Sid, you're bad. So bad it's good.
RARonnie Anne & Sid
GUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
[bursts into apartment 2A] Quick! Need help! Las arras fell out of the bag!
[horrified] Sergio! How could you?! Now Paco and Paulina will be doomed!
Ronnie Anne
Abuela, we can fix this. We'll help Sergio find them.
Yeah, and the rest of us can keep Paco distracted in the meantime.
Vamos! Before they're doomed.
Finally, I'm free! [looks in shock to see everything in a disaster]
Boy, bird weddings are fun!
Nonsense. Every wedding has its setback.
[The chandelier suddenly snaps and falls on the wedding arch]
This is more than setbacks. It can only be due to one thing: las arras!
[Dramatic guitar riff is heard, revealing Hector having to fix his guitar]
Ah. I fixed the strings. [the guitar strings break again] Chihuahua.
Sergio, I thought you said you got all 13 coins.
I did. I'll prove it. [takes out the coins and counts them] 10, 11, 13. Boo-yah!
[gasps] That means that one lucky coin is still missing!
Missing?! [growls with rage and tries to go after Sergio while the whole family holds her back, slowing her down] Let me at him! [calms down; sadly] Ay, without the last lucky coin, the marriage will be cursed with bad luck forever.
[Paulina suddenly shows up]
[gasps] Paulina, my love. We don't need luck. [Paulina sobs in tears and runs away; turns to his primo, crossly] Thanks a lot, Sergio! You ruined my wedding! Paulina! Please, come back! [flies after Paulina for consolation]
[sadly with guilt] I guess Paco was right to doubt me. I'm not best-man material.
That coin has to be somewhere.
Ronnie Anne
We must have missed something.
Ronnie Anne
[finds Malo scratching his ear, thinking he's Lalo] Oh! There you are. [picks up the leash and goes towards home as Malo struggles to go the other way] That's enough, Lalo. I took you for a walk. Now, let's go home. [a man passes them as they go and Malo barks at him] What's gotten into you?
[finds Lalo rolling around in a bush, thinking he's Malo] There you are, Malo! [Lalo licks her in the face, revolted] Ew! Kisses? What's gotten into you?
Ronnie Anne
You're lucky you didn't have to walk Lalo. He is not in a fun mood.
[Malo chews, rips off, and throws the couch's armrest which Hector is napping on, causing him to roll onto the floor, waking him up]
Hey, Lalo! Why did you do that?! Now I have to go nap in the mercado.
[after Malo takes a bite out of his El Falcón action figure] Hey! Lalo ate El Falcón's head!
[bare-footed as Malo starts chewing on her pair of boots by the door] Those are my new boots!
Lalo, what's going on with you? [screams as Malo bares his teeth, growling at him]
We better figure it out. Abuelo hates when pets misbehave.
[squawks] I woke him up once. Almost made parrot tacos out of me.
Hey! I'd make a great taco. [Malo visualizes him as a taco and tries to eat him; flies away] I take it back! I'd make a terrible taco!
Wait a minute. There's two of them?!
[Lalo and Malo go to their real owners after sniffing each other's tails]
Ronnie Anne
[after Lalo licks her] Now this is our Lalo.
[growls back at Malo after he growls at her] And this is my Malo!
I think I know what's going on. When I adopted Lalo, I chose him from a litter of perritos. [Flashback to the day he adopted Lalo as a puppy] But one of them was clearly not for our familia. I called it a perro malo. And the woman giving the puppies away said Malo was the perfect name, 'cause he was bad to the bone. Then I saw another puppy who was the complete opposite, showing me lots of love. So I decided to call him, Lalo!
[Flashback ends]
Ronnie Anne
They must have switched places when I was walking Lalo. I should have been paying attention to him instead of trying to watch the show. [to Lalo] I'm so sorry, boy.
[Sergio is making a skate video of Ronnie Anne]
Ronnie Anne
Here comes the 540 Gazelle Flip. [Skates down her side of the half-pipe, skates up Sergio's side and while her board spins, she rotates her body one and a half times around. She returns to the other side of the half-pipe] Now the 720 Gazelle Flip. [Skates back to Sergio and rotates two whole times. Returns to the other side] Get ready for the 1080!
[Ronnie Anne skates back and gets in three rotations, but suddenly, she falls and lands right on Sergio's snack table, she is dazed and groaning woozily. Sitting up, she places a hand on her temple while little Sergios fly around her head]
ISImaginary Sergio
More like 1080 Butt Flop.
[Sergio helps Ronnie Anne up]
Ronnie Anne
[Dusts herself off] Uh, I'm okay. [Picks up her board] Let's reshoot that.
[Squawks] Take two. This time with less falling.
[Ronnie Anne goes to the edge of the half-pipe, prepares to go down, but the half-pipe seems to grow higher, she is scared now]
Ronnie Anne
[Sheepishly backs up] Uh, maybe we should hold off on the video I think I'm still kind of shaken up from the fall.
That's lunch people! Now we get to re-watch your hilarious spill.
Ronnie Anne
[Growls, shoos everyone] Get out of here!
[With the birds gone, Ronnie Anne sits, sad]
Chugga-chugga yoo-hoo! I'm home! [sees his daughters, Ronnie Anne, and Carl at the table]
Dad, please take a seat. How do I put this delicately?
[loudly shouting] YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR JOB TO THAT ROBOT!!!
What? That's impossible. Robots will never replace humans.
It's true! Mr. Vanderspeed did an evil laugh and everything!
I can't believe it. I don't want to lose my job.
Ronnie Anne
Don't worry. We have a plan. Tomorrow morning, we're gonna prove that you're better than GLART-E. Then you can't be replaced.
Well, I like the sound of that. Cheers.
[Later that evening at the apartments, the Casagrandes are holding an intervention for Hector to discuss about his gossip addiction]
[enters excitedly] Hola, I'm home! Ho, you guys will never guess what Vito wears to bed! [only sees his family, all super mad at him] What? You already know about the bunny pajamas?
No, Abuelo. This is a convention.
Actually, Carl, the word is "intervention."
Hector, your chisme addiction is embarrassing your family.
And making the customers mad.
You're a chismoso. And by that, I mean, you're the biggest gossip in town.
What? [not seeing the problem] I'm not a gossip. Anyway, as I was saying… Vito wears his pajamas with huge bunny ears! [the family grumbles at him; realizes what he's doing] Okay, now I see it. I didn't even know I was doing it. I'm sorry. I never meant any harm.
I know, mi amor, but when you talk about people behind their backs, it can be hurtful.
Ah, you're right. As of today, I am swearing off chisme. Right after I tell you about Mr. Scully's toupee. [snickers, then Ronnie Anne shoves a pillow in his mouth to shut him up]
[squawks] This won't be easy.
Ronnie Anne
Don't worry, Abuelo, we can come by the mercado and help you cut the chisme.
[while braiding Ronnie Anne's hair] My mom was giving Adelaide all the attention, and I was sitting there like, "Hello? I'm your daughter too."
Ronnie Anne
Ugh. Sounds rough. I'm impressed with your pizza eating abilities.
Thanks, but I feel like I have to do something big to make her proud of me. Ooh! I know! Maybe I'll eat two slices of pizza in one bite! Hit me, Breakfast Bot! [stretches her mouth wide open and Breakfast Bot stuffs the two pizza slices into her mouth] Pretty impressive, right?
Ronnie Anne
Uh, that's cool, but you're also awesome with robots.
Ronnie Anne
[holding up her phone] And look! There's a Robotics Competition coming up right here in Great Lakes City!
Winning that would definitely impress my mom! [burps]
Ronnie Anne
[groans from the smell] Too bad there isn't a Strongest Pepperoni Burp Competition.
Remember, Sameer, a hot dog for breakfast is the most important dog of the day. Let's see how you are at ordering.
SSameer
Two dogs for Mr. Vito, please.
Whoa! Very good! You are going places, mister.
Ronnie Anne
Sameer, are you interning for Vito?
SSameer
Yeah. I was wondered what he did for a living.
Ronnie Anne
So, what does he do?
SSameer
I don't know. He says he's about to make a comeback, but, comeback to what? It's a mystery.
