Gaby's still teaching Juanita fractions as a housekeeper cleans around her. Gaby's using imaginary cabbages to teach fractions, but Juanita says she doesn't care since she hates cabbages. Gaby tells her to pretend they're balloons, but Juanita says there's no such thing as half a balloon. Gaby threatens to give her half an allowance then. As if a seven-year-old actually cares about allowance. Especially a rich seven-year-old. Gaby makes an insulting comment about how Juanita could end up a housekeeper, and both Solis women look at the housekeeper, who's hearing everything. Gaby apologizes, and tells Juanita they can go get ice cream if they finish this page. Juanita, in a huff, says she doesn't want to have ice cream with Gaby. Gaby goes to get some air and asks the housekeeper to make sure Juanita stays at the table.
Bree's holding a tasting for a couple. The man, Mr. Vitale, is clearly not impressed by her foie gras. She offers him other fancy dishes, but he's pretty meh about everything. He'd prefer something he can pronounce, but his wife says that's not necessary. She apologizes to Bree for her ignoramus husband, and he says that this ignoramus is throwing his wife an anniversary party for 500. Bree perks up and says she'd really like to cater this party. The guy tells Bree he's sorry, but his crowd from the Bronx is more of a sausage and peppers crowd. They start to leave, but Bree says she can do braciole. They turn, and she says she can also do gnocchi, tortelloni, and lasagna verde. She says those items aren't on her recipe, because they're family recipes from her Grandma Bombelli. She says she gets her hair from the Irish side, but her mom's side was all Bombelli. She throws in that she'll cook until the men unbutton their pants, and Mr. Vitale hires her on the spot.
Gaby comes back in, refreshed from her time outside, and asks Juanita to get back to it. But Juanita's done everything correctly. Gaby accuses her of cheating, but Juanita says Ivana helped her. Gaby doesn't even know who that is, but it's the housekeeper. Ivana tells Gaby, in an accent, that she told Juanita to think of fractions as a big chocolate cake with slices. Gaby figures cake would help Juanita focus, but it was really more about Ivana, who says she has a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Bucharest, but that means nothing in the U.S. job market. Gaby's impressed, but then asks Ivana to get the hair out of the upstairs bathroom. But then Juanita needs more help, and Gaby calls Ivana, all "Doctor? I'm thinking that dream can wait."
