Main dater this week, féi, is looking for that unidentifiable, “je ne sais quoi” swagger in a potential love match. féi brings a telenovela main character energy and is hoping to find “the homie you get to explore life with”. Abuelita and féi bond over being 310 girls. She shares with Abuelita Liliana the impact of growing up queer and undocumented and wanting to honor Inglewood in her artistry now. We meet 3 very different contestants; a Montana raised suitor who brings a little country swag to the table, a grandma's boy, and another multi-hyphenate artist who has a very grounded view of love. The contestants play a round of “Assumptions” and “Swagger Like Us: Telenovela Edition” for Abuelita Liliana to see who has what it takes. Will Abuelita Liliana find someone to compliment féi’s mami energy?

The episode this week is for the golden oldies. We take you back to a simpler time; Abuelita Liliana and our main dater, Alberto, frequented clubs and bars around Los Angeles, back before Abuelita was an abuelita and Alberto was a… Soltero Dorado. Our main dater, Alberto used to be a playboy who had a whole tool belt full of pick up lines. Now, he is a handyman and actor who is looking for love. Abuelita Liliana does her old friend a favor, but it’s the ladies this week she has a good time with. On today’s episode we meet a visual artist who likes to walk around the house naked, a writer with a busy schedule, and a dancer who is learning to be adventurous. The women play a raucous game of “Never Have I Ever” (with some stories that are not safe for work!) and in “Handyman’s Tool Belt”, they flash their best pick up lines. Will Abuelita be able to help our Main Dater relive his younger years with the same reckless abandonment? Or will he be our thoughtful “Soltero Dorado”?
