## History

Gloria asks Tonio if he had told his brother about cancer yet. He says that he would take care of it. Tonio reveals he has a new assistant called Rusty, who Gloria does not like. Tonio tells her that she would be paying Rusty with the money she owes him, which she does not like.

Gloria tells Tonio that she does not like Rusty and does not think that he is the right person to tell her father about his cancer. Ines tells Gloria that she is ruining her chance to date Rusty as Demi walks in, saying that she has a plan to deal with the curse.

Javier and Gloria sit down, as Gloria tries to tell him about his cancer. She has a hard time telling him and goes to the kictchen, where Rusty, Tonio and Ines show her that they have a cake for him which says "congratulations, you have cancer." Gloria says that that is messed up, but Rusty says that Javier is a hero and says he is sorry that she is going through all that. Gloria sits down and thanks Rusty, saying that she is overwhelmed and he should be the one to tell him he has cancer. Javier overhears that and helps himself to some cake. He says that he knows he has cancer since about a month before, but is not worried.

Rusty knocks the door and says that he would be helping Gloria and Ines go to school per Tonio's instructions, who says he is now stepping up to help them. Gloria does not agree with that, making Demi, Ines and Cam walk with her.

As blackmail, Demi walks over to Rusty, asking her a bunch of questions that Ines wrote trying to flirt with him. Demi tells Rusty that he looks familiar, as he says happens with many people. Rusty leaves when the questions get too personal, as Gloria scolds him for hanging out with her friend. Gloria tells Demi that she found where Cinnamon would bet at, which stresses Demi.

At home, Rusty approaches Gloria, who tells him to go until he shows her that he has a bullet journal as well. Once she sees his journal, she starts smiling. He hands her his invoices, which include gas. She tells Tonio that she would not pay for those bills, but he tells her she would until she tells him about the event she had that night. Rusty offers to drive her, but she declines immediately.

Davina fights with her boyfriend, later leaving and ruining the chances Gloria, Cam, Ines and Demi had at getting a ride. Ines suggests that they ask Rusty, while Demi sarcastically pretends to be disappointed. In the end, Davina decides she would take them, so they go.

Gloria runs into Demi, Cam and Ines, saying that they do not know how to go back home. Demi complains about everything going wrong, and pushes Gloria, tryg to fight her. She hits Glora, but they are quickly separated by Rusty, who is recognized in the crowd as Trusty Rusty. When he starts singing his song, Demi and Gloria are so shocked that they stopped fighting, In the excitement, the box is thrown into the air and breaks when it crashes down.

Rusty takes Gloria, Cam, Tonio, and Demi home. Gloria says that the reason she accepted the ride was because she was desperate. Rusty reveals that the reason he is working for Tonio is to help his grandmother.

Demi calls Gloria in order to apologize, but Gloria apologizes as well, saying she needs to judge less. Gloria finds her Trusty Rusty doll, as Demi fixes the box, realizing that she needs to break the box after what Cinnamon told her. She breaks it and finds an invitation with a name Mariluna in it.

Gloria is stressing over everything being perfect for her mother on Day of the Dead, so Ines is helping along with Demi. Ines leaves for school with Rusty, as Demi tells Gloria that they need to find Mariluna because the premonition about the box turned out to be true. Gloria thinks that if they were cursed, then she should be doing much worse than she is. Demi gets a text from Andre, who she tells Gloria she had been connecting with after they bonded over their Cam frustrations.

Rusty tells Gloria not to arch her back during volleyball, telling her not to overthink. She says that she knows she can do it, to which he replies that he likes her. They change the subject quickly. He invites her to a friend's Day of the Dead party, which she says no to so she can honor her mother.

As Gloria mentions more plans, Ines mentions that she was not going to go, since she was going to Rusty's party. Gloria calls her father, furious, but he says that he was not going to go with them either. She is very disappointed in her family.

Rusty looks around for Ines, who is in the car crying. He gets in and asks if she wants to go home, to which she says that she does, but does not at the same time. She vents about her sister, and Rusty says that he is listening to her. Ines realizes that her sister wants her to be better, but she does not know how to do that. Rusty tells her to keep trying and both of them hug.

Gloria is approached by Rusty, who says he is there to see if she is okay. She looks at her mother's grave and says that she will be.

Rusty, Gloria, Demi and Ines help decorate for the party, as Gloria confesses to Demi that she wants to have sex with Rusty. However, Gloria says that she has not told Ines and was worried about the curse. She tells Demi about how she saw her mother at the cemetery and mentions that the curse could be real. Demi tells Gloria about Cam and how she had said that she could never be with a guy who had been with another guy, which Gloria confirms.

Rusty approaches Gloria, who says that the party sucks. Rusty says that he has an idea. He says that they would have a dance-off and Gloria would be his partner. They start having a good time as they dance, and realize that they won since there is nobody near them.

Ines and Gloria choose who Ines would be going to her room with as Gloria meets Rusty outside. Rusty asks where her father is and she tells him that he had left. Rusty tells her she is entitled to freedom, as she asks why he feels that. He says that she needs some more time to herself and Rusty says that he works for his grandmother as well. Both of them kiss after chatting some more and Rusty suggests they go somewhere more private, but she leaves.

Gloria barges into her room, asking Demi and Cam what to do. They tell her to go with him. She sees Rusty in the hallway and calls out for him, but ends up running again.

Gloria cleans up her house, as she finds that her father had been writing a will. She leaves and sees Mariluna, who she chases until everyone stops her. However, she is able to escape and Gloria loses her again. Soon after, she sees Ines leading Rusty into her room, which makes her sad.

Ines pushes Rusty onto her bed, and asks him to rub her neck. He starts doing so, until she tells him that he could kiss her. He refuses, and when Ines asks why, he mentions that he likes her sister. Ines tells him that Gloria is not into him, but rather into the idea that he used to be famous and talks bad about him all the time.

Gloria turns around and sees both Javier and Lucia, which surprises her. Gloria walks towards Ines, who is crying. Ines says that she really did like Rusty, but there was someone else from his old school. Ines tells Gloria that Rusty has a girlfriend, so Gloria tells her thta he is a piece of shit.

Gloria throws a ball at Rusty's face, saying that it was revenge for him blowing off her sister. Rusty asks why, to which Gloria responds that he is into everyone. Gloria punches him, which makes everyone call it a fight, which Ines, Cam and Demi rush to immediately.

In her room, Ines calls Rusty, saying that she needs to talk to him. She complains about how restrictive Gloria is. Ines tells Rusty the truth, mentioning that she had lied to him and Gloria really does like him.

Rusty picks up from Tonio, who tells him that he cannot quit. Rusty says that things are getting too complicated, but Tonio says that he really needs him.

Rusty sits outside in his car, while Gloria sits down next to him. She smiles at him and they both say that they have something to say to each other. Gloria says that she is sorry for hitting him, but they should not have kissed because both of them make no sense. Rusty says that he thought they could have been good together, as Gloria gets out of the car and he drives off with Ines.

Rusty waits for Gloria and tells her that he did not want to miss her competition. Gloria apologizes for all that had happened, but is interrupted as Rusty kisses her. When Gloria asks about the other girl, Rusty realizes that Ines had lied to both of them because there is no other girl. Both of them kiss after that.

Gloria keeps playing games with Mariluna, while at home Ines is annoyed that Rusty kisses Gloria all the time. Tonio does not seem to mind as it is distracting his niece.

Gloria walks over to Rusty, who says he was talking to his grandmother. Rusty kisses Gloria's hand, while her sister watches uncomfortably.

Rusty says that he would like to say something, standing up. He mentions he met them all because of a job, but they were all much more than that. When he thanks them, calling them priceless, Gloria says that that was an interesting word, asking if her uncle had paid him to flit with her and distract her. Tonio gets up from the table, leaving as Rusty apologizes, telling Gloria that he had stopped taking money when he realized how much he liked her. Gloria tells him that she understands because he probably cannot tell the difference from real love since his mother did not love him.

Mariluna hugs Gloria, who says that she was wrong. Gloria realizes that Rusty was not real and her father is sick. Mariluna tells her to shut up because she could see that Rusty really likes her. She tells her to stop crying and take a deep breath.

Ines tells Rusty that she knows he is an actor, but orders him to drop the act. Rusty says that it is not an act anymore. He says that he had made it right in the end, unlike her. Ines says that she did not know how to tell Gloria, to which he responds that he did not know either.

Gloria tells Mariluna that she is her own problem and needs to get out of her own way. Gloria realizes that Rusty admitting what had happened and taking the money meant he cared. She realizes that she needs to act for forgiveness.

Ines wonders why it is hard for her to own her mistakes, as both her and Rusty drink a bottle of wine. Rusty tells her she is human and it is normal for her to be jealous. Ines tells him to get off his high horse and they begin fighting, with Rusty claiming she is still into him. He tells her to kiss him, which she says that she does not want to do. However, she does so and says that there is nothing there for her.

Rusty is in shock and ends up making out with Ines as Gloria walks outside. She does not see them as she walks up to them and sits between them. She tells them that she had said horrible things to them and apologizes, hugging them.

Mariluna shows everybody a check written to Gloria. She tells Demi, Cam, Rusty, Gloria, Ines and Andre that she could give them the check for 1 million dollars or they could choose to spend that money in three months with nothing to show for it and win 10 million. She says that if they fail, they get nothing.
