Flashbacks[]
Note: Flashbacks are arranged in chronological order, not the order in which they occur on the show.
Daya's little sister Eva, flushes a Barbie doll down the toilet and an angry Aleida talks to her about how money doesn't grow on trees. She comes out dressed fancily and tells Daya to get them a pizza if her siblings are hungry and says "I'm eating oysters bitches". As Daya watch Aleida greet Cesar with a kiss, another little sister, Lucy, says she wants oysters. But Daya tells her "No you don't!"
Daya comes home to a hungry Eva because she cannot go to the kitchen to make her own food due to drug business going on. Daya goes into the kitchen, and Aleida stops Cesar from telling Daya to make mac and cheese by shaming him for being a child and “wearing Superman undies”. He then gives Daya money to buy her little sister some real food.
Later, all of Aleida's children visit her in jail after she has taken the fall for Cesar. Aleida talks about him the whole time and is standoffish to her kids. Daya calls her out about her parenting, and Aleida accuses her of sleeping with Cesar. Out of anger towards her mother, she goes home and has a steamy make out session with Cesar.
Memorable Quotes[]
"Maybe it's not the chicken but what's within the chicken"
The joke ending in the punchline "he's not an eggplant, he's retarded" is delivered by three different characters in three different episodes. This is the second time the punchline was used. The first was by Red in "Tit Punch". The next was by Nicky in "Can't Fix Crazy".
