Morning, Bruno, I'll have the Great Lakes City special, one dog dragged through the garden.
You want a hot dog with the works, at 9 AM?
[sighs] You sure I can't interest you in a danish or something?
[Ronnie Anne is making a displeased expression while the screen pans back to the girl behind her]
Excuse me, can I get one Great Lakes City Special?
[she gestures towards her] See? This girl gets it. [She gives her a thumbs up as well. She takes the hot dog from Bruno and rides away.] Later, dude!
Hurry, hurry! "Adiós, Ana, Adiós" is on!
Whoo! Yes! Telenovela time!
[squawks] Mystery! Drama! Romance!
Don't forget style. Obsessed with Ana's outfits.
I'm gonna have to watch it in the mercado. My shift's about to start.
It's okay, mi'jito. We'll shout out the window about the juicy parts.
[rushes in] Did I miss it? Whoa! [Slips on Lalo's drool and makes Ronnie Anne fall to the floor] Ooh, sorry, mija.
I'm glad you could tear yourself away from your gossip long enough to be here, viejito.
Who was gossiping? I was dealing with Maybelle. And you know what a difficult customer she is.
[Ronnie Anne is almost coming out of the living room, but Frida calls her]
Are you sure you don't want to join us, mija? The novela is getting really good!
Come on. Just give it a chance. It's a family tradition.
Guys, I told you already. I'm not into telenovelas. Call me when the soccer match is on.
Shh! How can you say no to this? [TV shows Ana sitting on a stool sewing a hat with her grandparents] That's our hero, Ana Ronalda. She's an orphan raised by her grandparents.
The bad guys want money, but the family doesn't have any, so they're taking Ana Ronalda.
[hugs her kids together, crying] This is why I make you kids carry a whistle!
You guys, this show is so cheesy. Sorry, but you wouldn’t catch me watching it in a billion years.
LLLincoln and Lynn Sr.
The Lynn-sagna!
[angrily having enough] That's it. You just got yourself uninvited from Thanksgiving!
Well, thank you. Now, I won't have to choke on your dry-turkey. And you can forget about coming for Christmas.
Good! We don't like your soggy tamales anyway!
[gasps in horrified shock] This friendship is officially over!
Fine by me! Lincoln, say goodbye to Ronnie Anne forever!
Thanks for picking me up, Lori. I'm so excited to trick-or-treat in Great Lakes City. I've never gotten city candy before.
Who cares about candy? Next to Valentine's Day, Halloween is the most romantic holiday of the year.
Ugh. Please tell me you and Bobby won't make this holiday lovey-dovey like you do all the others.
Trust me, even you will literally be impressed when you see our matching costumes. They're the same ones Mom and Dad wore on their first Halloween date.
Well, I just wanna trick-or-treat with Ronnie Anne.
Okay, you've gotta tell me what's going on.
This year, all of the shops on our block are competing to see who can create the scariest store. They've somehow convinced Ernesto Estrella to judge it.
Oh, he's that famous astrologist your abuela loves, right?
Yup. That's why she's a little crazed about her horchata. She really wants to impress Ernesto with it.
[They see their older siblings hugging at the mercado's entrance]
Have you two been down here hugging this whole time?
Bobby, what did I say about being lovey-dovey on Halloween?
Sorry, Ronnie Anne, but this is a super-romantic holiday, and Lori and I wanna do it right. Well, after we finish decorating the mercado. Babe, we're in this awesome competition.
I was just filling Lincoln in. The scariest store gets to make a commercial with Ernesto Estrella.
It would be huge for us! And we are so gonna win.
I'm flattered the Casagrandes want my help.
BBoris
Thank you for letting Boris come along, too. I'm so excited for Halloween in the big city.
[They enter Great Lakes City and arrive at the Casagrande apartment]
Lucy! Muchas gracias for helping us!
It's my pleasure, really. Scaring people brings me joy.
[hugs Boris] And this must be the legendary Gramps that Lori's been telling us about. Nice to meet you, sir.
BBoris
Boris is actually a child, but appreciates the sentiment.
Hey, Carlota. You look stressed. What's up?
I'm just really behind on making everyone's costumes for tonight. I'm never gonna finish on time.
Hmm. What if you had help? Leni is awesome with fashion.
That's a great idea! Babe, would you mind going back to Royal Woods to get her? We'll still have plenty of time for our romantic Halloween celebration.
Oh, it would really help me out, Lori.
[sighs] Of course. Anything to help you guys win. [chuckles]
[Lori returns to the Casagrande apartment with Leni in tow]
[quickly hugs her] Thank you so much for coming!
You can brief me on the way up. What are we looking at?
Silk, cotton, wool, and I was thinking… linen.
[gasps] Linen in October? Now, that's scary.
[noticing Lisa, also in tow] Lisa, what are you doing here?
None of our siblings found my musings on All-Hallows-Eve to be interesting, so they offered my 50 bucks to, and I quote, "Take my dull facts elsewhere."
Did someone say dull facts? You're speaking my language! Lisa, would you like to help me reassemble a skeleton while discussing the mythology behind this spooky holiday?
[gasps and squeals] I apologize for that amateurish display of emotion. Be right up!"
Ugh, Boo-Boo Bear, I am so ready to start our romantic Halloween celebration. Is the mercado all decorated?
Not yet. We just need to wrangle the pack of angry neighborhood cats, which means we need Lana.
[slumps in dismay] Ugh, seriously?!
It would mean a lot to me, mija.
Ugh. You know I can never say no to you, Mr. C.
[hugs her] I was counting on that.
LLana
[entering the mercado] I hear you guys need a cat wrangler. Well, you called the right person.
Thanks for coming, Lana. But please be careful, these neighborhood cats are wild and mean. So… [notices Lana is nowhere to be seen] Lana? Where did she go?
LLana
[leads the black cats into the mercado] This way, guys! Stay in formation. [Tarantulas also enter which she has rounded up] I also rounded up some tarantulas. I thought they might add a little extra scare.
Lana, you're our salvadora! Oh, we've got first place in the bag!
[sobbing] I can't believe I forgot the straw wig for my scarecrow costume!
It's okay, babe. Leni and Carlota can make you a wig out of a mop head.
Bobby, I need to wear the wig my mom wore on her first Halloween date with my dad. It's TRADITION! [sniffs] I have to go back to Royal Woods. I promise I'll be back in time for our Halloween, boo-boo bear.
Okay, I'll be waiting my little candy corn.
[Lori nervously arrives at Great Lakes City on a rainy day and waits for a taxi]
[answers her phone as it rings] Hey, Lincoln.
Hi, Lori. I need to ask you a--
How do I look? Do I look okay?
Okay. But do I look like someone you'd want in your life forever? I'm meeting Bobby's dad today and I'm really nervous, and it doesn't help it that my car's in the shop, the rain is ruining my hair, and I'm late!
Wait, you haven't met Arturo yet? But we all spent Christmas at the Casagrande's together.
We should have met them but… [Flashback to the ending events of "A Very Casagrandes Christmas"] As soon as we got there, I had to go to the bathroom. And he left before I got out. [quicky makes her way to the bathroom]
Feliz Navidad, Louds! Be right back. Rosa is sending me out for more masa. Wish me luck! [leaves as Lori exits the bathroom, relieved]
[End of flashback]
Then, we ended up leaving before he got back. But today, there's no masa standing in our way! I'm finally meeting him. And I need it to be perfect, Lincoln.
