When he learns that Frank has a huge gambling debt with an Italian mob bookie, Alex agrees to hire Ramon's trucking company, thus partnering with him in business; in exchange, Ramon covers Frank's debt and introduces him to a Cuban bookie in his gang. Once Frank discovers his debt has been paid, he confronts Alex, who demands Frank get help for his gambling addiction. Meanwhile, the Feds come knocking on Joe's door with questions about his illegal Cuban land purchases, and Joe names Ellis as the mastermind behind the plan. Frank takes Ellis back, and they decide finally to go public with their relationship. Accordingly, the two go on a double date with Isabel and Alex, who is less than thrilled about the situation. Unbeknownst to his family, Alex had an affair with Ellis years ago, and he doesn't trust her motives with Frank. Henry pursues the winsome Terry, but learns it's going to take a lot more than his good looks to win her over. Much to her chagrin, Rebecca's dead-beat dad, having heard that she's about to marry into the wealthy Duque family, comes to visit.
