We're back in Los Angeles, and Ali is babbling at the camera again about being excited or something.
I've learned to effectively tune her out while still being able to get the gist of what she's trying to say.
So first up for the family meet-and-greet is Roberto in Tampa Bay. We're only three seconds into their meeting and Ali laughs her annoying laugh. This is going to be a loooong night...
They're meeting at Roberto's school (cause it's a big part of who he is), and he shows her to the baseball diamond where he used to play collegiate ball. The cheesiness is stepped up to a whole new level when he presents her with her own baseball jersey, then shows up in his old uniform (which works wonders on her libido).
It's not long before she's holding his bat while he's got his arms around her from behind (I can't make this stuff up, kiddies). They play some pitch and catch and seem to be really enjoying themselves. Then, to cap off the date, he hands her his own baseball card from his minor league days.
They talk about his parents and what's to come for the big parental meeting. They kiss. Cut to commercial.
It's time to meet the Rodriguezes and the family is very welcoming. Ya know what? Roberto's mom has kinda got it goin' on. Hey mom, can I have some MILF with those cookies?
How does the convo go with Roberto's supposedly tough dad? Roberto Sr. is very proud of Roberto and comes across as genuine. He's got some tough questions for Ali, and, to her credit, she answers them quite well. Roberto has a heart-to-heart with his mom and she gives him his blessing. Roberto Sr. is ditto on the blessing thing, which makes Roberto damn happy. Ali wonders whether the other families can live up to the Rodriguezes, who, for the record, can cut a rug with the best of them (and did I mention that his mom was totally hot?)
Next up in Cape Cod is Chris, who is playing ball with his very adorable dog. The dog overruns Ali when she arrives at the beach, which means the pooch was probably waiting for someone better to come along. Wait... hold on a sec...
There’s a plane flying overhead and it lands on the beach. What the heck? Can it be? Yes, it's Jake, and he's here to steal the spotlight once again. He tells Ali that she's always been the one for him, and that Vienna was just one big mistake.
Ali apologizes to the producers and they run off into the sunset, never to be seen again. Or maybe that's just what I wish would have happened. One can dream, can't he?
It's raining outside, which isn't putting a damper on their enjoyment. Chris makes a joke about whales out there having sex, and, although it's not what I would use as a way to segue into something sexual, it seems to work on Ali.
