This week, Abuelita meets Benite who wasn’t allowed to date until she was 18, and says she “had a lot of catching up to do”. Benite was raised catholic in an immigrant family and, “being queer was not an option” Now, Benite accepts all parts of herself and all the types of people she is attracted to, including himbos and “nerds who can hang”. She is excited to try out dating intentionally and being explorative.  On this episode, Benite is offered a poo-poo platter of excellent romantic contenders. What will Abuelita have to say about the possible options; a family man who is a hopeful actor in LA, a biker with luscious thighs, or a comedian who loves love. The contestants play a game of “Wiki-compliments” in honor of the wikipedia scholar main dater and “Planet Love”, with some outer space romantic scenarios to test the contestants. Despite Benite explicitly saying she's only trying to date to try new things, Abuelita is still set on trying to find Benite’s one true love; who will be lovelorn in the end, Benite… or Abuelita?
