Everyone was worried out of their mind. They had no clue where Jaime went and if he was okay. Angie felt like her heart would never slow down.

Rocio was on the phone with the police as Rudy messed with the power to cut the lights on. Milagro and Angie held the table up as Alberto screwed the nails in to hold it together.

"Shouldn't we be out there looking for him ?" Milagro suggests

"No, no, no !" Rocio says to the police. She moves the phone from her ear. "I'm on hold again."

They hear yelling before there's another crash in the living room. They all look over from the kitchen.

"Never mind. We found him." Rocio says into the phone. "Jaime ?" Rocio calls out as they walk into the living room. Jaime stands up and Milagro and Angie immediately turn away holding their hands out.

"Yo, put those huevos away, bro." Milagro says

Nana laughs, "Como cuando estaba chiquito."

"Porque tiene frío, amá." Rudy says

"Tapate los tanates, Jaime." Rocio says holding out a blanket

Jaime sways, "It's Jamie, not Jaime."

Rocio yelps as he falls to the ground. They all look around at each other as Rudy turns away.

"Oh, no." Rudy mumbles as Rocio tosses the cover onto Jaime.

They ended up moving Jaime onto the couch. The cover still on him. A few hours had passed and he still hadn't woken up. So, Rocio decided to waft Vic's under his nose. This seemed to do the job as his eyes shoot open.

"What are you guys doing ?" He mumbles as they all stand around the couch looking down at him.

"Ay, pobrecito mijo." Nana says rubbing his forehead

"¿Estás bien, mijo?" Alberto asks

"He's alive." Rudy says

"Jaime. Do you feel okay, mijo ?" Rocio asks softly. Jaime lifts the cover and immediately brings it down. Now noticing that he was, in fact, naked.

"Oh ! No. No way." He says sitting up. He stands up and looks down again covering his mouth.

"Jaime, listen, there's something on..." Milagro tries

"No, not now, Milagro." He says rushing toward his room

"Jaime, she's serious." Angie says as they follow after him

"No, no, no. Not now, Angie." He says slamming the door. "Not now !"

Milagro huffs as they stand outside the door.

"Hey, Jaime, keep that blanket now that it touched your chorizo." Rudy yells

It's only a few minutes before they hear screaming. Milagro points to the door, "I tried telling him."

Jaime opens the door, "Okay, guys. I... I need to go find Jenny Kord, 'cause she's gonna know how to get this thing out of me." He rambles trying to put on his jacket, "Uh, where are my shoes ?" Everyone stays silent as he looks to them, "Come on, where are my..." He turns finding his shoes completely ruined. "shoes. Not the 84s !"

He holds them up, "These were my favorite shoes. Okay, okay." He shakes his head as he drops them

"Jaime, what happened ? Where did you go ?" Rocio asks

"Ama, I don't know. I think I cut a bus in half and then..."

"Cut what ?"

"And flew into orbit."

"Flew into orbit ?" Alberto says

"Apa, I don't know. That's why I need Jenny. Okay ?"

"I am calling the police." Rocio says grabbing the phone

"No, no. Don't call the police. No police. They work for Kord." Rudy says, "What do you think Kord's gonna do when they figure out that some Mexican kid has that type of military tech inside of him ? They're gonna lock his ass up. And then they're gonna wipe our minds, so that we don't tell anybody. And it's not like the government isn't used to locking up Mexicans anyway. I mean, this is sci-fi shit. This is CIA. This is Area 51 !"

"Rudy, focus. What do you mean ?" Alberto says as Jaime walks around still looking for shoes. He sighs happily as Nana hands him the shoes.

"What I'm saying is the government and Kord are gonna be all over this, and then they're gonna start asking for documents. And that includes you, Nana. And that includes you, Alberto."

"Okay, then fine." Jaime says putting on his shoes, "I'm just gonna have to go by myself then."

"Go by yourself ?" Angie exclaims

"You are not leaving this house." Rocio says

"Ama, I'm 22 ! Besides, what if she's in danger ?"

"What if she's in danger ?" Rocio says, "Jaime, you flew out of the roof."

"You don't understand." He says throwing on his other shoe

"He's into her." Rudy says

"Oh, he totally is." Milagro mumbles. Angie then noticed that she had Jaime's phone.

"No, I'm not." Jaime says standing up

"Oh !"

"Stalked her Insta." Milagro says as Angie looked over her phone. Her heart dropping at Jenny's instagram in his search.

"Where'd I put my..."

Milagro then looked her up, "She's Brazilian, she lives at the Regent Tower. And she's single, by the way." Jaime stops turning to her, "Bit of a loner, though, if you ask me. I mean..."

"She's single ?" Jaime says as Angie rolls her eyes

"I thought you weren't into her." Milagro says holding up his phone.

"What are you doing with my phone ?" He says snatching it from her

"You left it unlocked."

"Es como la María Mercedes nada más que ella es la güerita con lana y este no tiene donde caer se muerto, el pobre." Nana says as Milagro agrees with her.

"Yes, the Maria ! Yes, I said the same thing. But Maria la del Barrio." Milagro says

They all exclaim before they start to sing the theme song. Angie rushing after Jaime as he walks outside.

"Jaime, wait."

"I can't, Angie. I have to find Jenny." He says fumbling with the keys

"Just think first, Jaime." She tries. When he doesn't listen she runs up in front of him stopping him in his tracks, "Jaime."

"Angie-"

"Just listen ! Please !" She exclaims. He sighs, "You just got back from flying out of the roof. You don't know what's gonna happen. These people are crazy."

"I have to figure out how to get this out of me. She's the only one who will know."

"I almost lost my mind not knowing if you were okay." She says. Jaime's face softens as he now notices how worried she was. "If she told you to guard it with your life, then it's something valuable. What if you leave to go get help and don't come back ?"

"I'm gonna come back."

"You can't promise that."

Jaime sighs, "Come with me then."

"What ?" Angie says with furrowed brows

"Come with me and we'll figure out how to fix it. Then you won't have to be so worried."

Angie is taken aback for a second. Then she remembered how frantic he was to find her. "Okay."

Jaime smiles, "Good because we have to go before Rudy notices his keys are missing."

Angie rolls her eyes playfully as he passes her to get into the drivers seat.
