“
You don't understand. I've been lying to them for *years*. They don't even know I worked at Big Coffee. I told them I was a freelance illustrator! If they come here and see me now, they'll know I'm a failure! *Unlike my stupid, successful cousin Emily!* My lies will be exposed!!
”

"**'Rent Control**" is the 41st episode of Season 2 and the 99th episode overall of *Big City Greens*.

## Synopsis

When Gloria’s parents visit, she ropes the Greens into escalating lies about her success.

## Plot

Gloria is wallowing in despair after losing both of her jobs at Big Coffee and Wholesome Foods, and she now lives in the Greens' house. Cricket and Tilly come down to the basement when they try to cheer her up. Gloria gets a call from her parents after coming back up, which Tilly answers. The problem is, Gloria hasn't answered their phone calls in years, mainly because they compare her to her highly successful cousin, Emily. Her parents track her phone and decide to go come for a visit.

Gloria figures that since the kids got her into this mess, they must help her convince her parents she's successful. Her parents suddenly arrive as Gloria gets nervous that they were so happy to see her. After touring the home, and through a series of lies, Gloria passes herself of as Cricket and Tilly's mom, Bill's wife, and the owner of the Greens' house. Saying that her life is worse than they thought, Gloria's parents try to leave as Remy shows up to play with Cricket and Tilly...in his limo.

Gloria asks Cricket if the limo belongs to Remy and they end up getting Remy in on the ruse, to take Gloria's parents to her "second home," which in actually is Remy's house. She takes her parents on a tour around the entire Manor, including a pool of coins, in which she gets hurt. Now more impressed, Gloria's parents say they're ready to go home and brag about their daughter, giving her "10 Emily's out of 10."

As her parents leave, Gloria realizes that her parents never bragged about her before and confronts them about it. They say they always used Emily to inspire her to do better, and that the stress would help her succeed, citing Remy's manor as proof of this. Gloria comes clean and says everything was a lie after telling them she lost two jobs and her apartment, when her parents realize they pushed her too hard.

Over dinner with the Greens, her parents tell her they are proud of her and she is surrounded by good people, even though Bill is still adamantly telling them he is not married to Gloria. However, Cricket holds onto Mr. Sato and Bill tells him to let go.
