Synopsis: The silver spoon daughters of the late cosmetics empire founder Victor Marchetta, Avan and Tanzie, never even took an interest in the business, happy to let it be run by their and the firm's administrator, Tommy Katzenbach, while they lead socialite lives, aiming at a marriage with soap star Mic Rionn. Suddenly a scandal wrecks the firm's stock and their family reputation. Their credit cards are canceled, one of them torches the mansion, the other hands their sports-car to a thief mistaken for a parking valet. So they end up living with their Latina former cleaning lady. Help to investigate whether the firm is really best sold to competitor Fabiella, as Tommy claims, comes from hunky lab technician Rick, whom the previously mistook for the inexistent firm parking lot attendant, and Henry Baines, whose free law for the poor charity they didn't even consider for sponsoring.

(VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRING)

THROUGH HEADPHONES)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

at how many people could improve

if they would just treat it properly.

to harsh chemicals and to the sun,

this is a nightmare for the skin.

If you start with an all-natural regimen,

most of the skin's difficult problems.

is actually overtreating the skin.

Now, take toner, for example...

the most in my life

is my father, Victor Marchetta.

I'll always remember him in his lab

concocting the perfect lipstick.

I'll never forget the time he taught me

artificial colors.

(GROANS)

Good luck with the girl's bedroom, Ava.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

...with this sad excuse of a breakfast.

I don't even think low carb is gonna cut it|this morning.

I am so bloated. Can I just have hot water

and cayenne pepper|and maple syrup and lemon?

I need to cleanse.

- I need an aspirin.|- AVA: Me too.

Hey! Tanz, give it a rest.

You can't keep sitting here|watching Dad's old TiVo'd shows

from two years ago|for the rest of your life.

- Plus that skin show's disgusting.|- I find it comforting, Ava.

Oh, that's so sweet. And creepy.

Plus I gotta clear up some space here.|Mic likes me to watch all of his shows.

And this week,|Razz and his dad get in a fistfight.

Ava, give it!

- Great.|- All right,

let me put this as delicately as I can.|Our future is in the crapper.

- Thank you, Pam. You may depart.|- Why not?

- CRAIG:
Very nice.|- Thanks.

There's no new product.|The truth is, without Victor Marchetta,

there is no Marchetta Cosmetics.

And, so, this is what|you're going to inherit

when you take over the company in July|and I'm no longer your trustee.

I mean,|you girls even wanna run this place?

Well, I mean, you're gonna be, you know,|doing most of the running, right?

Yeah, sure. Yes, yes, of course.|Of course I am,

if you keep me on.|But there is another option.

(DOOR OPENS)

No, I'm okay, thank you.
