Mother's Day
Recap
Right before the Mother’s Day ball, Blanca gets news that her mother has passed away. Grappling with whether to return home to attend the funeral – in the face of potential ridicule and harassment – Blanca ultimately takes Pray’s advice and decides to go. Not just to say goodbye, but to be a healthy example for the House of Evangelista. Despite a heated run-in with her sister before the services, Blanca shows up with her house and gets invited by one of her mother’s sisters to the funeral reception after.
There, she finds her mother’s recipe book, which reminds Blanca of the bond she had with her mom before being kicked out. Blanca wants to take it -- the only thing she asks for of her mother’s -- but her brother attacks her before she flees the house. Later on, Blanca's sister drops by her apartment to drop the recipe book off.
Elektra gets her gender confirmation surgery, but no one except Blanca shows up to visit her in the hospital. Instead, her children walk and win without her. While Blanca is there, she helps Elektra remember the person and mother she once was, inspiring the Abundance matriarch to do better by her house, starting with the Mother’s Day ball.
Meanwhile, in a fit of jealousy, Matt pays a visit to Patty and reveals Stan’s affair. Patty visits the apartment Stan got for Angel, though she’s been moved out for a month. Eventually, Patty receives enough information to make her way to the Mother’s Day ball, where she sees Angel walking with the House of Evangelista before confronting her on the street.
