The Baker and the Beauty

Hey, Garcia.

- Previously on "The Baker and the Beauty"...

- Deering has a zero tolerance policy

towards violence.

- And, Amy, I am forbidding you from seeing her any more.

It's time for us to expand. This is our chance, Papi.

Asbestos?

It has to be removed.

I have prostate cancer.

- So you're gonna tell Noa? - When I'm ready.

- I will be making my acting debut

in Melanie Caan's next feature.

- We all know that you have a new man in your life.

I want to talk about the interview

that his ex-girlfriend released this morning.

Would you like to respond?

- That publicity is gonna be bad.

That doesn't sound like a woman

who is fit to run a company, now does it?

- They're putting together an emergency board meeting.

They're gonna vote to remove you as president.

- My father's trying to take my company from me.

- Go to the press. Tell them the truth!

I did!

Everything I said is exactly what happened.

Which one's better in bed?

Oh, that's more like it.

Enough with this silence and sad faces.

Papi...

I know that six weeks is a long time

for the bakery to be closed,

but at least the asbestos is gone, no?

Sí, sí, sí.

Okay.

And Mateo, one little meeting

with one little producer who has no soul

or inner life to recognize your amazing talent,

and you want to quit?

Is that the son that I raised?

Someone who needs constant validation

and approval from everybody?

- That's exactly who you raised.

No, it's not!

The only way to fail in this life is to quit,

and we are Garcias.

We do not give up ever.

Ay, where's Noa?

Who's Noa with? Ay, ay, ay.

Do you miss her and care about her?

Then call her and tell her.

- Is he here? - He's here.

Noa, honey, you don't have to see him by yourself.

I can cancel my meeting.

Wait

haven't you canceled too many times already?

- If you come with me, then it becomes business,

but if I go alone, we can keep this what this really is,

which is personal.

- What, no words of wisdom for me?

You can go around the table and solve everyone's problems,

but when it comes to me, you got nothing.

Do you wanna know why, Mom? I'll tell you why.

It's because you are the problem.

Natalie.

Parents are the problem.

Hello, Father.

Hi, Bug.

- Why are you trying to steal my company?

- Direct as ever, that's my girl.

The truth is, I am worried about you.

- A phone call would have sufficed.

- You haven't answered a phone call of mine

since you were 16.

- So instead you're asking the board to replace me?

- Replace? No.

Liberate? Yes.

Noa, you've spent your entire adult life

focusing on this company.

It's time you spread your wings.

You have the opportunity to act.

That's your childhood dream.

You have a new relationship.

I think you want to step away.

You just can't see it.

So if I tell you you're wrong, you'll drop the whole thing?

- Every time you have taken a leap

every single time

it is because I pushed.

When you left home and walked out at 16...

When you expanded the brand

- So there's a method to your malice?

- Well, it's hard to argue the results.

What do you want, Dad?

You definitely don't want what's best for me

'cause you don't even know what that is.

I want to have

a relationship with you.

I want you to trust me,

but since you are so determined

to keep me out of your life...

I want to protect you

from yourself.

You are making mistakes,

and they are harming this company

and your future.

Three major clients gone.

Five more in jeopardy.

So if you want to keep me out of your life, that's fine,

but I am going to protect you from yourself.

It just makes me so mad

this double standard that she has for me.

- That's what happens when you're the youngest

and the only girl. - You mean the only gay girl.

It wasn't like this before.

I'm finally being true to myself,

and my reward is being forbidden from seeing you?

Yeah, how's that going?

- You joke, but she threatened to homeschool me.

You know, I'm the best behaved kid she has,

and I'm the only one who suffers consequences like this.

- To be fair, I don't think

your brothers were brawlers like us.

You know, if she's gonna treat me like the bad seed,

then I might as well have some bad seed fun.

- Keep talking. - Let's ditch.

You wanna ditch?

- Isn't that music festival today at Crandon Park?

- Yeah, but we don't have tickets.

- I'm sure there's tickets available, and if not,

we'll just find a scalper. - Who are you?

- I don't know, but there's about 30 seconds left

of this rebellion before I completely cave,

so let's - Oh, it's on.

- Hey, you. - Welcome back.

How was your trip? - Exhausting.

How are you? - Hanging in there.

I missed you. - I miss you too.

You okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

I just have that meeting coming up,

and my father has a way of getting to me.

- Hey, that's what parents do, right?

I was thinking, if you're not too tired later,

maybe we could do something quiet.

You know, eat in, put on a movie.

Netflix and chill?

Let me see how the meeting goes.

I'll call you when I get out, okay?

And, Daniel, it's good to hear your voice.

- You too. Good luck.

Thanks.

- Mateo, Mom is right. You're being ridiculous.

Yeah, you know what?

What's ridiculous is acting like

everything's going all right.

But the truth is is that my manager's

a real estate agent, and my big gigs

are on the Palm Beach bar mitzvah circuit.

Daniel, I'm 27 years old.

Do you know how many artists get discovered

by my age or later?

- That's still not a reason to quit,

especially if you love it.

- Yeah, but it doesn't love me back.

The longer I go holding out for something

that's never gonna happen, then the longer it takes me

to find something else to love,

something that can actually happen.

Miami PD!

- Just don't quit because nothing's

happening right this moment.

All you need is one break, and you'll be back on track.

- Daniel Garcia. - That's me.

- Daniel Alberto Garcia, you're under arrest

for the assault and battery of Kurt Malick.

Wait, wait, what?

- You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law. - Daniel

- You have the right to an attorney.

Sir

- If you cannot afford one, one will be assigned to you...

Daniel Garcia!

- How could this have happened?

- The press just ambushed me.

There was this one that was harassing me, and I

So you punched him?

Who are you and what have you done with my son?

- I'm sorry. I have no excuse.

- Daniel, assault and battery is a felony.

You could have a record.

Do you have any idea what that can do to your future?

Are you safe?

Yeah, I'm in a holding cell,

but if I make bail today, they'll release me,

and I don't have to see the inside of a real jail.

How much is bail?

$10,000.

$10,000?

- But you only have to come up with $1,000 of that.
