Kevin’s daughter Nina who just returned from Stanford University worries about her tuition fee. She then meets the salon ladies, Daniela, Carla, and Cuca. Sonny who is Usnavi’s cousin wins a lottery ticket of $96,000 and everybody starts dreaming of what they would do if they had that money. Will Usnavi manage to get back the business?
