Lorena announces that Sonia and Ray need the house for themselves for the weekend which means everybody else has to find an other place to stay. Andrea and Alexa are bickering.

Yunjin becomes the center of attention when Ana and Sofia both have their own way of expressing Yunjin's beauty and even start rivaling. When Ray and Sonia are back at the house Ray starts getting intimate and starts undressing but they soon find out the ten year old Alexa has not left the house. Soon after that they find out Lorena is sick and Max is also still home. Lorena gets Sonia to prepare her soup and Alexa takes the opportunity to persuade Sonia to make her some Mexican sandwiches. Ray seems to be able to accept this unexpected situation but when asked Max points out he won't be leaving Ray and Sonia's household for the next ten years which again makes Ray disappointed that he and Sonia missed their weekend alone.
