HOW'S BUSINESS?
 Meanwhile Andy, Sean, Celia and Doug are looking through Bubbie's possesions to prepare for an estate sale. Andy takes a liking to "States"-themed snowglobes. Sean tells him that, "You can't just keep taking stuff, there won't be anything left to sell." Doug takes a liking to a pipe (probably Judah's, it would be very unusually for Bubbie to smoke a pipe.) Sean offers to sell it to him for $4. Doug replies "Four bucks, what a rip" and then licks all over the stem with his tongue. Celia walks in carrying some glass things(some flask) and says, "I am keeping these." Sean calls them all scavengers. The next day Nancy and Celia open their shop. Nancy asks Celia if she got lucky with the Rocky Mountain Chops guy last night. Celia responds that she doesn't like Asian guys. Celia asks Nancy how her night was to which Nancy responds, "I saw no-one attractive and-in a place I wasn't." Nancy enters the code to go into the store room and they are both greeted by a hispanic man in a lawn chair with a machine gun keeping guard over the wide-open tunnel entrance. Celia sees the hole and says, "That looks like -- a nice pastry." (suddenly changing her tone as he gives her a menacing look.) Nancy asks if he's going to be there long, to which he responds, "Todo tiempo (all the time)." Nancy introduces herself and Celia to the guard (who identifies himself as Ignacio) and offers him coffee before beating a hasty retreat back to the front of the store. Celia starts asking Nancy questions about the floor and Nancy tells her that Mexico is in the hole and that she must never go there. Celia keeps asking questions, "And the man, is that the attractive man from the place that you didn't?" Nancy says, "I went straight home, I saw no one - he was so much better looking than that guy." Doug is taping a sign up to a light post for the estate sale. The headline reads, "Excellent Treasures Estate Sale." Andy and Doug proceed to compare women's butts and Andy tells him how awful the coyote was. They come up with a new business plan, which Andy summarizes this way, "We could be good coyotes, nice coyotes, the Jet Blue of coyotes." Back at work Nancy helps a customer and then goes into the storeroom while she is trying on clothes, and finds Guillermo and a lot of guys moving weed through the tunnel. Guillermo tells Nancy that he got in trouble because of her discovering the tunnel. Nancy defends herself saying, "I didn't know. You gave me the tour of the store - 'Here's the cash register, here's the backroom.' You might have said, 'Here's the tunnel to Mexico,' but you didn't. You said nothing." Guillermo tells her to do her job and go out to the front and smile at the pregnant ladies. Nancy asks him if he really got in trouble "with the man, the man in the suit." She asks him, "Who is the man in the suit?" Guillermo says, "You didn't see a man in a suit." Nancy asks him what he would do and Guillermo says, "Don't know yet, but anything happens to me, worse gonna happen to you." Nancy goes back out to the front of the store to find Isabelle begging Celia to let her live with her. Isabelle says that life with her father has been horrible, and that he's moving to Michigan to "bag criminals." Celia tells her to move with her dad to Michigan and condescendingly offers her money to take the train. Isabelle loudly begs Celia, "For the first time in your life, please, please don't act like a selfish fucking bitch." just as a pregnant customer is walking up to the counter to buy a pair of pants. Celia tells her to go ahead and have kids and watch them grow up to call you a fucking bitch as he shoves the pants into the bag, and Nancy offers her a coupon to try and smooth things out. Later that night Celia is in the house drinking out of a box of wine and sits down on the couch next to Doug who is rolling a joint. Doug notices that she's had her tooth repaired and propositions her for sex. Celia turns him down by saying, "Fucking you ruined my life." Celia tells Doug that she's taking out her FEMA vouchers tommorow and that she's planning to take out a suite which should last a few weeks, and then a few more for them to evict her. The next day at the Estate sale, Sean is driving a hard bargain over a table. Doug spots one of the women that he and Andy were "admiring" at the beach yesterday and they follow her upstairs while bickering over who "saw her first," only to find that Silas is already talking to her. Doug and Andy awkwardly introduce themselves to her and then Brad comes up to show her something. Silas introduces her as Lisa and informs them that she is Brad's mom. Outside Nancy is collecting money from the customer that bought the table Sean was selling. After she collects the money from the man she walks away and two men in hats and sunglasses slip a black hood over her head and carry her away into the trunk of a black Lincoln Towncar. Meanwhile on the beach, Andy, Doug and Sean are counting the profits from Bubbie's estate sale. Doug asks Sean if he can hold the money. Sean says no and that he's going to go hide the money. Sean leaves and Doug sees an attractive but confused-looking hispanic woman in the surf walking up onto the beach in her clothes. Then they start to spot more fully dressed people comming out of the water. Suddenly two Border Patrol agents swoop in on 4-wheeled ATVs. Andy asks Doug, "Is this really happening? Andy realizes that these people are illegal immigrants, and the woman they first spotted walks up to them and begs them for help. The two sit there stunned and Doug tells her that she is beautiful. A border patrol agent tackles her and Doug tells the guard that she's his girlfriend. The agent doesn't believe him but lets him speak to her briefly. As he leads her away she calls out to him and tells Doug that she will keep his "flipply-flop." Doug promises her that he will find her and takes a picture of her with his cell phone. She tells him that her name is Maria, and Doug calls her "Maria Mermex" (a combination of the words Mexican and Mermaid,) she calls him Senor Flipply-Flop, and finally the agent carries her off. Later that night Lisa stops by to visit Silas (who is wearing nothing but his shorts.) Lisa asks if he sold the "Wacky Pack" poster and says that Brad has been bugging her about it all day. Silas tells her that he kept it, but that she can have it if she wants. Lisa admits that Brad doesn't really want the poster. Silas asks her if she would like to go for a walk and she agrees. Silas turns to put on a t-shirt and Lisa admiringly looks at his butt while his back is turned, then they leave to go on their walk. At Dean and Isabelle's place, Celia drops by to take Isabelle away. Dean and Celia argue briefly. Dean appeals to Isabelle to stay, offering to move to different cities, but Isabelle refuses saying, "I want to be a carefree latchkey kid, who lives by the beach." Celia leans over and whispers, "Location, Location, Location" into his ear. Dean asks Isabelle to call him every day, and tells her that when she starts to hate Celia again that Isabelle should come back to him. In an unknown location the hood is removed from Nancy's head, and she sees The Man in the Suit looking at her. The Man in the Suit starts telling her what he knows about her, about her two sons, that she went to Berkeley, that she has 4 outstanding parking tickets and also where she has tattoos. He tells her that she should not have gone into the tunnel and that, "You should not be asking questions, questions about me." Nancy appologizes and The Man in the Suit tells her that she must be punished. He suggests that a good punishment would be "...a spanking, a good hard spanking." They are interrupted by the garage owner and one of The Man in the Suit's other business associates who tell him something in spanish. Nancy thinks that she hears the spanish verb for "to kill," but The Man in the Suit tells her that she should work on her spanish. He sends her home and says that "Just this once, you may use the tunnel." They put the hood back over her head and drive her back to the garage where they release her. She knocks on the garage door and turns around to see a picture of The Man in the Suit on an election poster for Presidente Municipal (Mayor). The poster finally reveals the identify of The Man in the Suit as "Esteban Reyes". One of the mechanics opens the garage door and motions her to come in. She asks him if he is the mayor and he says "Si."
