The Full Monty
Recap by Misty Flores

 

Paco's Bedroom

A drunk Mariano sneaks into Paco's bedroom in the middle of the night. He tells him he can't sleep in the suite with Marina because if he consummates the marriage he can't get an annulment. He undresses in just a shirt (Marina yanked his underwear off) and crawls into bed with Paco, against Paco's protests. He calls Marina and makes Paco lie that he needs him for a mission. He tries to sleep as Mariano passes out, snoring.

SARA'S APARTMENT

At Sara's apartment, Sara and Aitor try to figure out what to do about their discovery. Aitor decides they should talk to Paco, but Sara convinces him that they should solve it themselves. She gets a call from Lucas and begins to yell at him for not telling him he's in Beruit, and tells him that Aitor told her the truth, and now Aitor's here with her, and going to eat the ham she was going to take to the States. Aitor loses his appetite and tells her not to throw his name into her fights with Lucas. He decides they need to tell Paco and takes his computer to go.

Paco's Bedroom

Paco wakes up to Mariano texting. Mariano has decided he's going to try and abandon Marina on their honeymoon flight, but he has to come up with reasons to stay away from her until then. DL walks in to find Mariano in Paco's bed yet AGAIN. He's fed up and leaves for work. Sara and Aitor walk into get a good look at Mariano's family jewels. Sara freaks and giggles, as Aitor explains something serious has happened.

THE LOCKEROOM

The group gets ready for the day at work. Kike appreciates Nelson's ass before Curtis snaps him out of it. Povedilla enters and Rita yells him for not picking up the little girl to take her to daycare, and as a result she didn't get anything done. Povedilla makes up a series of lame excuses for not showing up, and Rita, disgusted, leaves. Montoya gives Povedilla a good glare before he follows her out.

The remaining hombres scold him for neglecting his daughter, but Povedilla admits he has contracted crabs, and he's afraid of infecting the little girl with them.

PACO'S BEDROOM

Paco, Mariano, Sara and Aitor view the GPS device, and they decide they need to report it.

THE BRIEFING ROOM

The group sits together for a new mission update. Montoya explains to the group that they're getting a shipment of religious artifacts that are being transferred. One of them includes the petrified arm of a saint (seriously). DL warns them to treat the arm with respect. Silvia notes they only have one day to categorize the artifacts.

Rita asks what her assignment is but Montoya tells her she's on call tonight, so to take the afternoon off for personal business. She nods happily. Mariano, Aitor and Sara push an ill-feeling Paco into keeping everyone from leaving so he can bring up the stolen car issue. He bumbles his way through an explanation about Sara's stolen car ending up at the palace of the King. DL thinks the very idea of the King being involved in a stolen car ring is ridiculous, and mocks Paco. Paco defends himself and states his track record for his hunches (which are good). Aitor reminds DL that not listening to Paco ended up with Sara hurt.

DL relents and says he'll call someone so Mariano and Paco can go check it out, but they're only to look for the car, make sure it's there and come back. Paco agrees. Aitor and Sara try to go with him, but Paco, in a rush with indigestion, tells them no. Sara gets a text from Lucas.

THE BULLPEN

Salgado comes looking for Mariano, but once again he ropes Paco into lying for him and tell him that he's needed for a new mission. Salgado agrees to wait for him while he and Paco go to the Palace.

THE BRIEFING ROOM

The men work together unpacking the artifacts. Povedilla is extremely itchy. Curtis has had enough and has sent Nelson to get some bug spray. They convince Povedilla to drop his pants and spray him with it, but it burns because it's BUG SPRAY. Povedilla flails and knocks over the sacred arm artifact, breaking it open.

THE LOCKER ROOM

Rita and Sara are changing and discussing.

SARA: Rita, the distance doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter if it's 2000 miles or 2 meters, I love him the same. What I don't like is when we fight.

Silvia walks in, hearing this last bit.

SILVIA: Trouble in paradise, Niece? You can talk to me. From Ex-Mrs. Fernandez to Mrs. Fernandez? Together we'll sort it out.

SARA: Yes, please!

RITA: Well maybe you could help me with Jose Luis because this morning I had another fight with him. And we're not even together anymore!

SILVIA: Well you know what they say: fighting covers up attraction – and then they kiss.

She presses her brush against Rita's mouth in a smooch. Sara isn't about to let the opportunity slide.

SILVIA: And you with Pepa, gorgeous?

Silvia blinks, her smiling fading at the trap she put herself in. Rita however, just keeps going.

RITA: Oh come on – this is all just for the baby girl. I don't even know how long it's been since he's been by the house to put her to sleep or give her dinner. I don't know what's going on with him. I think he's starting to lose interest in his baby.

SARA: Come on, Rita. Povedilla isn't that type of guy.

SILVIA: Well, they never are. Until they decide to take English classes at 8 at night and stop showing up.

Rita nods.

SARA: So what? Rita's also free to date. Or not?

Rita nods again.

RITA: Yes, sure, but…

SARA: How long has it been since you've been with someone?

Rita thinks about it, and starts to smile mischievously. The girls catch it, and grin wickedly at each other, aware Rita is hiding something. They both sidle over to her.

SARA: Spill it. How long?

RITA: No, no, I'll bore you.

SILVIA: You won't bore us. You're not one to just go with a whim.

RITA: Yes, I know!

SARA: You've had a fling, haven't you?

RITA: Why would I have had a fling?

SARA: Look at her!

She grins gleefully.

SARA: Tell us!

SILVIA: Spill it! You're lying!

RITA: Well… I have seen a man naked.

SILVIA: Stop!

SARA: Who! WHO!

SILVIA: Is he from here!?

RITA: You're cold! You're cold!

SARA: Who!? From the precinct!?

RITA: From the precinct, yes!

SILVIA: Who is it, Rita?

SARA: WHO!?

Rita savors the moment.

RITA: Montoy-ica. Two times I've seen him. Here.

Sara gasps. Silvia's jaw drops. She grins and stands up.

SILVIA: What is going on with my exes?! Do I need to open up a store?

RITA: No, it was just an accident. I came in, and he was here. And I said, 'tit for tat' and I showed him my boobs.

Sara chortles in disbelief.

SARA: No! RITA!

SILVIA: I can't believe it!

SARA: Sure! And now you have the afternoon free, don't you?

RITA: You're not saying it's because of that, are you?

Montoya walks in, unaware he was just the subject of some really juicy gossip.

MONTOYA: Hello.

RITA: Hello.

Silvia takes it upon herself to make herself scarce.

SILVIA: Well… I'm leaving, okay?

SARA: Yes, me too! Bye!

RITA: bye!

Silvia tosses Montoya an amused glance. Sara can't help herself.

SARA: Bye Montoy-ica!

MONTOYA: Bye.

THE KING'S PALACE

Paco and Mariano walk through the grounds and argue again about what to do about Salgado. Paco gets another attack of diarrhea and can't hold it. He runs for the bushes, and gets caught pooping by security.

IN THE LOCKER ROOM

Rita asks if she's getting favoritism from Montoya. He denies it, and she says it's hard to be a single mother. He feels badly, knows that she's suffering because of Povedilla and offers to help. He offers to watch the baby so Rita can have some time off to cut her hair. She kisses him happily on the cheeks.

Paco and Mariano talk to the security. They deny knowing anything about the car. Paco leads Mariano out.

IN THE BRIEFING ROOM

The Hombres try to figure out what to do about the arm. They decide to try to figure out a way to conserve the arm. In the freezer at Cachis. Povedilla wants to know how exactly they can put an sacred arm in a freezer. Curtis convinces him they have no other choice. He tells him the stuff the arm into his pants.

THE BULLPEN

The men try to sneak past DL but he makes Povedilla sit down, and tells him he needs to get help for his 'problem'. He smacks the arm stuffed in Povedilla's pants and thinks it's his swollen penis. He blinks and tells him to get his ass to the doctor.

PACO'S OFFICE

Aitor, Paco, Mariano and Sara pow-wow about the stolen car, but they're just coming up with dead ends. Mariano sees Marina and freaks. DL comes in pissed off about Paco taking a dump on palace grounds and gets a call and makes everyone leave.

Mariano pretends to be on the phone with DL to get out of leaving with Marina, but Marina remembers that DL was once interested in her and now decides that DL is making Mariano stay to make their life hell because of it. Mariano takes this theory and runs with it until she decides to confront DL about it. Mariano dissuades her.

DL yells at Paco about the poop incident, but Mariano calls Paco and convinces him to get him mad at Mariano so Marina can hear it. Marina is finally convinced to get on the train and go on the honeymoon so Mariano can meet her there.

RITA'S APARTMENT

Montoya plays babysitter. He's not great at it.

OUTSIDE – The hombres try to sneak into Cachis to smuggle in the arm, but Povedilla watches Montoya inside Rita's place with his baby. He's sad. Curtis charms the Cachi's owner and distracts her so Kike can shove the arm into the freezer.

Rita comes home from getting her haircut. She runs into Povedilla outside and Povedilla refuses to come in. Rita tells him that they may not be together anymore, but they're still a family, and she won't let her little girl grow up without her father. She orders him back at the house at 9AM tomorrow to pick up the little girl.

Povedilla decides to do whatever it takes to get cured so he can see his little girl. Curtis suggests waxing his balls off. Povedilla looks at Rita and Montoya and the baby and agrees.

IN THE GARAGE

Sara and Aitor once again talk about Lucas and how Aitor doesn't want to be brought up in her arguments with Lucas, because he respects him. Sara tells him not to worry, nothing he does will ever have the slightest affect on her marriage to Lucas.

Mariano comes in and as they talk about the car case, they realize that at the auction, someone else really wanted the car. Aitor and Sara decide to look at the security tapes to find out who It was.

DL'S OFFICE

As DL gets ready to leave for the day, Marina comes in and accuses him of sabotaging Mariano out of bitterness for her rejecting him. She says she's going to press charges against him. DL finally just sighs and shows her his phone – he hasn't called Mariano. Mariano is just looking for an excuse not to be with her. Marina is stricken. DL says he's sorry. She leaves.

IN THE BULLPEN

Marina cries as she walks down the stairs, heartbroken. Paco walks by and sees her crying. She tells him that she loves Mariano, and no one has ever hurt her like this. She never wanted to believe that he never wanted to marry her. Paco says he's sorry. Marina tells Paco that he's as bad as she is, because he always made the decisions for him, so everytime Mariano is afraid he runs into Paco's bed. She says he's not Mariano's dad. He needs to let him grow up.

THE LAB

The boys try to wax Povedilla. It doesn't go well.

Rita tells him she'll get the wax off for him. She asks how he got it. He explains that he had a one night stand. Rita is wounded but tells him that he is a free man and has no obligations to her. She tries to soldier through it and tells him that he should bring her to the house so the baby can get to know her, but she breaks down in tears and leaves. Povedilla feels horrible.

PACO'S HOUSE

Mariano comes in, bewildered and hurt that Marina has inexplicably left him. Paco explains to him what happens, and tells him that it'll be the last time he helps him get out of his mess. Mariano has to learn to dig himself out. Paco has packed him a suitcase, and kicks Mariano out of the house.

Paco is distracted by a news report that this has been an explosion at the palace of the king. He knows immediately this is linked to the car. He calls for Mariano, but Mariano is gone.
