Caray, Caray!

Peralta calls Sophia and tells her that the investor should be there next week.  Sophia asks Peralta if Dulliver told him that Dani dumped him.  Peralta says that he knows all about it and that Dani made a big mistake.  Sophia hopes that the break up won't affect the business relationship.  Sophia also suggests that Dulliver work as a consultant for the firm.  Peralta says that Dulliver won't let Dani bother him.  He's a big boy.  Once Peralta hangs up, he tells Dulliver that he needs to man up!  The Ripolls chicks think that he's a weak girlie man.  Peralta tells Dulliver not to quit Ripoll!  Go back in there and show them that you are a Peralta and not a punk b*tch!  Dulliver says that he won't quit.  Meanwhile, Marisol is sitting alone in the dark giving herself the same pep talk.  She ain't quittin' either. 

Araceli visits Sophia's office and immediately asks for Paco's recipe book.  Sophia removes it from the safe and hands it to her.  Sophia believes that Marisol has come to make friends.  She invites Marisol to lunch with her and Paco.  Araceli immediately shuts her down and says that she is there because she is suing Ripoll for stealing Paco's recipes.  Araceli hates Sophia wants revenge for everything that she took from her starting with Salvador!  Also, she accuses Octavio Ripoll and Martin Coria of stealing Paco's recipes and the love of his life, Greta.  Sophia says Araceli won't win because Paco went on National radio and denied the allegations.  Araceli asserts that Paco lied and that Octavio Ripoll was a low-down, chocolate recipe stealing, wife swappin', baby kidnapper.  Get a lawyer because I'm coming after you, says Araceli.  Sophia says, thanks for the advice.  Araceli leaves and Sophia cries. 

Sophia calls Matias into her office and tells him that Araceli is suing Ripoll.  Sophia gave Araceli the original recipe book, but she has a copy of it.  She wants Matias to continue recreating the recipes from the book in order to test for similarities and differences.  Matias asks for a loan, but Sophia says Ripoll is broke.  She will have to think about it.   

Afterwards, Sophia pulls herself together and calls Chava. 

Out in the Ripoll hallway, Dani stops Marisol and apologizes to her for stealing Lucas back.  Marisol loudly announces that Dani is a big hose munster who steals boyfriends.  Lucas hears the screeching and hurries over to defend Dani.  He tells Marisol that he loved Dani long before he ever met her and he never fell out of love with her.  Marisol says that the only reason Lucas loves Marisol is because he can have sex with her!  Yes, agrees Lucas, Dani being easy was a big part of it, but it wasn't the only reason.  He tells Marisol to have respect for Dani because she's the boss.  Marisol leaves and Lucas comforts Dani.  After Lucas leaves, Dulliver comes strolling in wearing his new power suit.  Dani apologizes, but Dulliver cuts her off.  He's reassessed his feelings for her and found that he really doesn't give a damn. 

Over on Snob Hill, Greta has cornered Miggie.  Miggie tells Greta that the kids are back together.  Greta wishes that Lucas never would have went out of his class because it only causes problems.  Greta says that she doesn't want her daughter cavorting with a common thief.  Peralta told her all about why Miggie was fired.  Miggie calls Peralta a stinkin' liar.  Her grandson is good and honest except for the time that he did the real estate con, the card con and robbed Sophia. 

Noemi tells Patrick and everyone about Marisol calling Dani a big tramp for sleeping with Lucas. 

Chava leaves his paying job and runs over to Ripoll.  On the way to Sophia's office, he spots his bummed out sister.  He tells her that she knew that she was going to see Dani and Lucas.  She should just quit if she can't handle it.  Patrick listens in at another table and thinks of how he can use these events to his advantage. 

After leaving his sister, Chava moves on to comforting Sophia.  His advice is to talk to Paco.  Paco will stop Araceli from tormenting Sophia.  When Paco hears what Araceli has done, he almost blows a gasket.  Sophia wants him to tell her that Ripoll and Coria were honest men.  Paco wants to know exactly what Araceli said.  Sophia repeats that Araceli said that Coria and Ripoll were recipe, baby and woman stealers.  Araceli says that Paco lied to keep the peace.  Sophia finally notices that Paco is hemming and not denying the allegations.  She demands to know the truth.
