Caray, Caray!

When Silvetti leaves, Sophia breaks down.  She tells Chava that Ripoll is broke and she doesn't have the money to cover that zillion dollar debt.  Chava asks how a big corporation like Ripoll can be broke.  She took out some loans to purchase raw materials and machinery because of the South American client.  She can't pay a zillion dollars to Silvetti, meet payroll and meet her other orders all at the same time.  To top it off, now they have to shut down production to clean the machines.  Mimbo gives her a pep talk and they pray to the Virgin Mary for guidance.  

Meanwhile, back at Ripoll, some of the employees are trying to separate out the contaminated boxes of chocolate from the good boxes of chocolate.  The plan is to ship uncontaminated boxes out so that they can meet their non South American orders.  It's determined that most of the product has been contaminated. The non South American orders cannot be shipped as well.  Dani screams at Alexa and blames it all on her.  While Alexa is down, Patrick strolls in and kicks her in the gut by reminding her that this fiasco is indeed her fault.  The QA guy tries to deflect the blame to himself, but Patrick keeps rubbing it in.  He finally tells Alexa that it's not all of her fault, Sophia was to blame as well for leaving Ripoll to follow her dreams. 

Back in the Ripoll main offices, Silvana and Patrick discuss how dumb the CEBimbo and her Mimbo are and I couldn't agree more with them.  Silvana deliberately told Noemi that the company is bankrupt and the employees may not get their severance pay.  She knows that Noemi will open her big trap and news will spread.  Silvana laughs and says that Sophia is stupid enough to tell the truth and tell the employees that Ripoll is busted.  While Silvana is speaking, Noemi has assembled most of the staff out in the hallway for an impromptu "we're not getting paid, so your pitchfork ready" meeting.     

When the CEbimbO and her Mimbo return, Chava demands to know why Patrick met alone with Silvetti.  Patrick ignores him, so Sophia repeats the question.  Patrick says that as the CFO, his duty is to protect the company at all costs.  He visited Silvetti to negotiate with him and beg him not to sue the nuts out of Ripoll. Chava doesn't believe a word of it. Sophia tells Patick and Silvana that Silvetti agreed not to sue them, but they will have to pay a zillion dollars.  She orders Patrick to check all the accounts and get the blood out of a turnip.  Silvana tells Sophia that Noemi has spread the word that Ripoll is broke and probably not meet payroll.  Silvana tells Sophia to call an immediate employee meeting.

The Ripoll sisters stand at the podium and Sophia tells the employees that Ripoll is toast unless everyone works overtime to decontaminate the machines and meet production.  There is lots of murmuring.  Chava takes the mic and reminds that employees that they all live in the neighborhood and in this neighborhood everyone helps their neighbor.  He reminds the employees how the Ripoll girls have helped everyone in the building who has slept with one of them.  Armando stands up and seconds Chava's declaration.  He too has slept with a Ripoll girl (Alexa) and for that, Ripoll paid all of his wife's medical bills after she tried to jump off of a roof because she found out that he was sleeping with a Ripoll girl!  Lucas didn't immediately jump up, but we all know that he would have...had he known that he won the guitar with Dani's help.  Anyways, all of the pigeons (I mean employees) in the auditorium agree to help the neighbor! They will stay up all night to help the poor little rich girls!

Later, in the hall, Mimbo tells Patrick that he's busted.  Chief Fuzzy is on to him and Renzi.  Patrick and I both agree that Chava is indeed and idiot.  Patrick tells Chava that he's jealous of Patrick's degree.  Armando holds Chava back from punching Patrick.  Armando feels like punching Chava when he finds out what Chava told Patrick.  Chava suggests that they break into Renzi's office to get evidence against the two cousins.
