Rob's father, George, comes to visit Rob and Maggie. When George responds to and interacts with Maggie's family far more than he ever has with his own son, Rob gets jealous and confronts his father about their fractured relationship. After faking a heart attack to avoid the conversation, George eventually relents and admits that he was afraid of being a terrible father to Rob, so he chose not to be a father at all. Rob and George agree to take things slow and try to build a real father-son relationship in the future. Rosa wants to prove to Fernando that she can teach Hector to make delicious tamales, but he proves to be hopeless in the kitchen. Determined not to let Fernando win, she enlists Abuelita to make tamales which Hector then successfully passes off as his own.
