Pilot Luis is manning the donut shop when Marly comes down with a kiss for her papi and a foot stomp for her cheap ass landlord. The hot water ran out again. Luis doesn't pay the gas bill because he doesn't think he should have to pay for something he can't see. Marly deftly points out that he paid for his shoes and he can't see them. Marly pins on her nametag and Luis wells with pride that his little girl has a job at an actual bank. Greg comes down and complains that he doesn't like how a nametag reduced people to just one word. ""Morning, Twinkie,"" greets Luis. |

Placeholder Luis is excited when his ex-wife Isabella sets him up with one of her friends, Eva. But when the date turns out to be a dud, Luis grows suspicious, and wonders why Isabella would set him up with someone so boring. By the end of the date Luis realizes that Isabella was using Eva to keep Luis busy until Isabella is ready to take him back. Luis confronts Isabella and she denies it, but when he goes in for a romantic kiss, Isabella takes the bait and kisse him, proving to him that she's still interested in him romantically. In addition, Greg plans a romantic date with Marly to keep their romance alive, but is depressed when she forgets about the date and works late at the bank. |

E.P.T. Luis finds out that Marly bought a pregnancy test and goes through the roof. He's mad that no-paying-job-in-sight Greg got his daughter pregnant, but Greg is excited - he's always wanted a little ""Quarter- Rican."" Luis finally changes Greg's mind when he tells him a baby would mean the end of Greg's art career. As Greg tells Marly he may not be ready for fatherhood, Isabella enters and asks Marly if she ""ran that errand at the pharmacy"" for her and Luis could not be more shocked. Luis assumes that the baby is his, which everyone assumes is impossible until Luis and Isabella reveal that they are sleeping together. |
