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.

Jaden? Do me a favor, would you, please,|sweetheart, and split? Go. Out.

TOMMY:
Thank you.|CRAIG: Oh, well.

We have information that Fabiella is|going to make an offer on this company.

Fabiella? That's Daddy's worst enemy.

All right, just listen|to what Craig has to say.

I prefer very, very hard pressure.

- Yes, I'm sorry. I'm scheduling a shiatsu.|- What?

- What did you say?|- The offer! Fabiella!

Yeah, right. Okay.

If the numbers come in from Fabiella|tomorrow where I expect them,

I mean, we could pay off our creditors|and still have a unit for each of you.

- A eunuch?|- Unit. 100 mil.

And you girls could spend that cheddar|however you'd like.

I could finance|Mic's independent movie with that.

- Ava?|- What?

He wrote a really good script, Tanzie.|It'd be like an investment.

This is Daddy's legacy|that we're talking about.

TOMMY:
All right. Chill, chill.|Everybody, chill out. Just relax.

We'll think about it. There's no rush here.

We'll take our time.

In the meantime,|let's go see some charities

and earn ourselves a tax credit. Come on!

We specialize in making large-print books|available to seniors

who suffer from macular degeneration,

or just plain bad eyesight.

We also offer storytelling|to the very elderly.

Yet, for some reason,|this is not considered important

by the federal government,

which is why|we're in need of private funding.

Please, help our aged neighbors enjoy|the gift of reading.

Thank you.

That was very touching.|Thank you so much.

We'll let you know by the end of the week.

- PRESENTER:
Thank you.|- We're actually gonna take off, too.

Tanzie remembered|she has a really important appointment.

We like the breast cancer lady|and the animal cruelty lady.

And the animal cancer lady.|The rest is all up to you guys.

- Thank you.|- Was there an animal breast lady?

She was first.

- Do you think Tommy's going to be mad?|- No. How can he be?

He knows we only have six hours|to get ready for the gala.

Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh, no. Am I late?

I thought my appointment|was in 10 minutes.

Not bad for a guy in a suit|from Men's Wearhouse.

- You're one of the charity people, right?|- Yeah. Henry Baines.

- Greater Los Angeles Free Legal Clinic.|- Medical clinic?

No, we help people|who can't afford an attorney.

Let me give you my card.

Wait. So, you don't even help people|with terrible diseases?

No. We help people who are poor.

Right, but that's not a terrible disease,|per se.

I mean,|they don't even have a ribbon for that.

Okay. I guess|I'll have to look into that one.

By the way, a little Preparation H|under those eyes

- will really get rid of the puffiness.|- AVA: Tanzie!

We're just so excited just to be able|to remember our father like this.

Well, what I want to know,|how do you stay so toned?

So do you!

Some advice, girls.|Never go younger. Even by a month.

A hard bod is no substitute|for wisdom, girls. Remember that.

Okay.

- Well, well, well.|- Tommy!

A powwow of squaws. Fabiella.

I'm sorry, but I can't have you|talking business with my girls tonight.
