Back at Casa de Suarez, Walter and Ignacio are playing dominos. Okay, that's kind of sweet. See, Walter really isn't all bad. He says that Betty has been distant lately, and busy with work. Ignacio notes that it's Fashion Week, where the buyers get their first look at fall couture. Hey, well done! He could pass any citizenship test, anywhere. The doorbell rings. It's Constance, with a big bag of groceries. Ignacio notes that it's not her day to come, and she says that she's not there on business. Ignacio was so sweet to get her mind off of Toussaint that she wants to cook him some gumbo. She meaningfully hands him a big heart-shaped box and says, "Here's his chocolates." Ignacio notes that there are only three left, and Constance says that she doesn't like nuts. For post-gumbo dessert, she has Failure To Launch. Heh. Ignacio tries to protest, saying that he's already eaten, but Constance says that he hasn't had her gumbo. If you ask me, Constance is in the mood for some Mexican tonight. D'oh!
Back at Fashion Week, Daniel gets an eyeful of Becks approaching Alex/is and hightails it toward them. Becks sidles up to Alex/is and asks if she has a quarter, explaining that he told his mother he'd call her when he fell in love. Ah, now Alex Meade gets to experience the joy of crappy pickup lines! One of the many perks -- along with bloating, catcalls, and bikini waxing -- of being a woman. Daniel comes up and says that line is as old as pay phones, and that he thinks Becks dropped his game across the room. Oooh. Good one. Daniel is kind of a tool sometimes. And also, short! Daniel introduces himself to Alex/is and asks if they've met before. Alex/is just gets a coy look and sips her champagne. The more honest response would be "Not since I've had a vagina!"
Back at Casa de Suarez, Walter says, in quiet tones, that if Ignacio doesn't want Constance cooking him lunch, he should tell her. Ignacio says that she's his case worker, and that if he pisses her off he'll end up on the other side of the fence. Constance then calls, "Nacho!" Walter asks about this, and Ignacio says that it's her little pet name for him, and that he thinks Constance wants to eat him. No doubt. Constance comes in and asks where the pepper is, saying that they need something spicy. "Oh wait, here I am!" she says coyly, cracking herself up. Walter suggests that they remind Constance that she works for the government and could lose her job. Ignacio asks if he should make that phone call from Guadalajara. He says that Constance's boyfriend dumped her, and now she wants Ignacio. Walter says that there's only one thing to do: get her back with the boyfriend. Ignacio is understandably daunted by this challenge. Many things about Constance are daunting, it seems.
