Housekeeping.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[WOMAN] My mom, she's busy.
She goes to work.
It's a ten-hour shift. And
then she goes to school.
She cooks. She cleans
and does her homework
until two in the morning.
And then she goes to sleep.
[WOMAN 2] How is she functioning?
I don't know. I really don't know.

"Our hero this week is Sara Ralda."
"She's a 42-year-old
mother of three daughters."
"Originally from Guatemala,
Sara immigrated to Las Vegas
where she has worked as a housekeeper
at the Mirage for the last 21 years."
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
When I came here to Vegas in 2003,
I like it. I like the city.
If you came from your country
and they give you a ride to Las
Vegas Boulevard, to the Strip,
you get amazed with the
buildings, with the lights.
So we're still here.
"Sara was nominated by her
mother-in-law, Maria Elena,
and her eldest daughter, Madeline."
[IN SPANISH] Sara has
all the best qualities.
The most beautiful thing I
see about her is her heart.
She breaks her heart for her family,
and that is her daughters.
to working a full-time job,
Sara put herself through junior college
to obtain an associate's degree
and is in the process
of transferring to UNLV
for her bachelor's degree
in hospitality management."
- Wow.
- She is a multitasker.
I decided to go back to school
'cause it's a very physical job.
My hips start hurting,
my joints start hurting,
my back, my knees.
So I won't be able to do
this job for 20 more years.
[MADELINE] I remember when she was
pregnant with both of my sisters,
bending down, cleaning the bathtubs.
Yeah, it's a very hard job.
Having a bachelor's degree
in hospitality management
opens a lot of doors.
It's something that helps me to
get a better life for the girls.
How was your day at school?
- Good?
- Yeah.
[SARA] My kids are the ones that
give me the strength that I need.
Sometimes I feel like I'm
against the world by myself.
"Five years ago, Sara's husband
was deported from the United States,
leaving Sara to raise
the three children."
- Whoa.
- Oh no.
[SARA] How do you explain
a five-years-old kids
about regulation that the
government have and all that stuff?
There is there is no way
to explain something like that
to a five-years-old kid.
[MADELINE] My mom was devastated.
It's kind of hard when life has
just been throwing rocks at you.
We have had to start
from zero more than once.
It's easier when you have two parents.
But you have to adjust 'cause
you have no other choice.
So that's when Madeline
have helped me a lot.
[MADELINE] Julia, can you please
come help me pick up the plates?
- [JULIA] Yeah.
- Tabatha, please help her.
I would say I'm my mom's right hand.
I pick them up at school. Then
we come home and I make them food.
I help them all do their homework.
It's the best way that
I can help her out.
- I'm studying for my test tomorrow.
- [MADELINE] Studying.
You better study, girl.
Having a supermom, she's always
like, "You have to be better than me."
Girl, you never have homework?
[MADELINE] So she
pressured me to go to school
because I was taking time off.
So she's like, "If
I'm doing it, you can."
I want to set an example
so that way they can see that
they can do more for themself.
"Maria Elena wants us to help Sara see
that her hard work
deserves to be celebrated
because she's the first
person in her immediate family
to ever earn a college degree."
[IN SPANISH] Sara has made a lot
of effort to go to the university.
Sleepless nights because
she's very ambitious,
just as you see her.
She wants more and more.
But I plan to give her a celebration
because she's very reserved.
Very reserved.
That's why I feel very moved that
you're giving Sara this opportunity.
Because I love them.
Because I love my daughters.
we can give to her.
I'm excited to meet her.
I'm entitled to get an associate
degree and and graduate.
But I won't celebrate
until I get what I want
'cause I'm planning not to stop
until I get my bachelor's degree.
That's my goal.
[MADELINE]I think it's about time
that she starts focusing on herself
because she's, like,
really trying in school,
but she's so busy.
It's taking a toll on her.
It's like she's in a hole,
and she can't really dig
herself out right now.
So I feel like the Fab
Five can help with that.
[KARAMO] Our mission this week
is to help Sara realize that
it's never too late to celebrate.
- [ALL CHEER]
- Never too late. Yay!
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Only you can lift me up ♪
[ANTONI] Yay!
Yes, honey.
- Yay! All right, let's do it.
- [KARAMO] All right.
Ah, I feel like I'm going to
pick up my kids from school.
- My leg's been falling asleep a lot.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Hi!
- [MADELINE] Hi!
- [JONATHAN] How are you?
- [KARAMO] How you doing?
- What is your name?
- Madeline.
- Nice to meet you!
- Look at these gorgeous curls, Madeline.
- [ANTONI] What's your name?
- Julia.
Julia.
- Are you Tabatha?
- Hi!
So nice to meet you.
- Ah!
- [TAN] Oh.
Thank you for having us in your home.
- [JEREMIAH] Please.
- [KARAMO] We're so happy to be here.
Thank you for coming. Thank you.
- We're happy to be here.
- [KARAMO] We can feel your energy.
[TAN CHUCKLES]
[JULIA SPEAKS SPANISH]
[ANTONI] Sorry we interrupted mealtime.
[JONATHAN] And Jenga.
[TAN] Where is your mum?
She's working. I think
she'll be here soon.
[ANTONI] Should we have
a little look around?
- [JEREMIAH] Give us a tour?
- [MADELINE] Yes.
[JEREMIAH] I can't get behind
a sofa with a cup holder.
Unless I'm at an AMC, I don't
think you need a cup holder.
- Whose room is this?
- [ANTONI] The dream-catcher room.
- [TAN] Whoa.
- [JULIA] Some are mine.
- This is yours and your sister's room?
- Yes.
- And you share a bed?
- [MADELINE] Yes.
[TAN] I shared a bed with
my brother until I was 11.
And we fought like
cats and dogs as kids.
She's a fighter in her sleep.
She, like, kicks me.
She, like, punches me.
Okay, calm down. I'm
"Julia, if you see this,
you still suck pookie."
[JONATHAN] "Suck dookie pookie."
[KARAMO] "Madi, you are a caca."
- Think this is healthy communication?
- This is.
This is sister love.
[JONATHAN] Oh, honey.
Sisterly love.
What a fun way to
express it. Poopy, caca.
So this is where all the meals are had.
- Do you all help with the cooking?
- [MADELINE] I cook when she's not here.
How's your cooking?
Oh, it's not
[LAUGHS]
- I don't cook like her.
- We got food poisoning. I'm just kidding.
[LAUGHING]
- [SARA] Hi.
- Hi!
Oh my gosh. You're here.
How are you?
Good to meet you too.
- [SARA] I can't believe you're here.
- We're in your house! Hi, beauty.
- I can't believe you're here.
- [TAN] Nice to meet you.
There is nothing but love in this house.
Like, there's so much
amazing moon energy.
This is, like, a female
Fab Five in Vegas.
I'm obsessed.
- Did you just finish your shift at work?
- Yes.
Are you exhausted?
- Yes.
- Okay.
[JONATHAN] And you always look
this fresh and cute after work?
What is going on?
Thank you. [CHUCKLES]
Sara's got so many, like,
balancing plates on a stick.
I wouldn't be surprised if
she falls asleep standing up.
- She lives her life for her kids.
- [TAN] Okay.
I want her to start living
her life for herself.
[KARAMO] Yes.
And your face literally
cringed when you said that.
[KARAMO CHUCKLES]
My first impression of Sara
is that it's gonna
be really hard for her
to receive anything just for herself.
Let's go to where you're
sleeping currently.
- Oh, this is Tabatha's bed.
- Okay.
[SARA] My bed.
[JEREMIAH] Why are you on
the floor and not the bed?
- No.
- 'Cause you're mama bear.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Do you sleep comfortably?
Yes. I'm so tired at the end
of the day. I could sleep
You're just exhausted.
Let's walk through. Give
me a lay of the land.
This is my little office.
Why is there no bed in here?
[JULIA] Me sleeping with my sister
was supposed to be temporary.
Our mom didn't have time to
move the furniture and stuff.
So how it is right now, it stayed there.
- Oh.
- Oh.
But then it just got permanent.
- All your clothes are in here?
- [SARA] Yes.
- Okay.
- [KARAMO] Will y'all come with me?
I wanna talk to your daughters.
I'm gonna get the real real out of them.
- [SARA] Okay.
- [ANTONI] I wanna see the kitchen.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh my gosh. La Bonita. We love.
When was the last time
your mom had some fun?
- A long time 'cause I don't remember.
- Yeah.
She doesn't really like
having birthdays either.
- Oh wow.
- Yeah.
Do y'all spend time with each other?
With each other, yes, but with
her, we don't spend a lot of time.
We only, like, meet her, like, one time.
- And then she has to go to work.
- [KARAMO] Got it.
[JULIA] There has been a lot
of change going on in her life,
but it's mostly not for the better.
Just a few, uh, days ago,
we bought a car.
And, like, after a
week, on her birthday,
it stopped working on the freeway.
- No.
- [JULIA] Yeah.
She's definitely been through a lot,
to the point where she's lost her light.
Yeah. Oh. You want your
mom to bring her light back?
Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] What would you
like the house to feel like?
Like, if you could dream up the
most perfect, beautiful space.
I would like Madeline
to have her own room.
And I think Tabatha and Julia,
they could share a
room, 'cause they have
- [JEREMIAH] No. Yeah.
- It's not that big of a gap in their age.
What about for you?
I know what you want for them.
I want this house to give you
just as much as you give them.
I would like less toys
around me. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. You don't wanna
wake up to a Squishmallow?
- Yeah.
- [JEREMIAH] Yeah.
So this is your kitchen.
Do you like the separation?
Um, I don't know. Uh
You just move, move, move, move.
- I feel like that's what you do.
- Yeah, usually.
I want this space to really
be a sanctuary for you
'cause there's nothing better
than walking into a home
- That's true.
- and it being a part of you.
- There's no place like home.
- [JEREMIAH] Exactly.
Let's talk about living room.
Any colors that we can't stand?
Hmm.
My favorite color's black.
- But I don't want my house black.
- Sorry, your favorite color's black?
- Yes. But I don't want my house black.
- I mean, I finally feel seen.
Oh my God. We are meant to be together.
Where have you been all my life?
What do you like about black?
- It's elegant. Neutral.
- Yeah.
- You want the house to feel elegant?
- Yes.
- Sophisticated. Yeah.
- Yeah.
That's the word I was looking for.
- [JEREMIAH] Yeah.
- Sophisticated.
You're in good hands.
I know I am.
But I am gonna have to
get rid of this sofa.
[LAUGHS] Yes.
I'm okay with it.
[JEREMIAH] It looks a
bit like a baseball glove.
- What a similar outfit, Tan.
- Get out of here.
Look how chic and sophisticated this is.
- We must try this on you.
- No, it's gonna be camouflage.
You really can't even
tell where it starts
and where your old shirt ends.
Let me see.
[LAUGHING]
My understanding is not only
you're working, and you're studying,
and you're raising three
girls, but you're also doing
most of the cooking.
- Yes.
- [ANTONI] What do you make that they love?
- [SARA] They love Mexican food.
- Mexican food. Okay.
Enchiladas suizas.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
- They love chilaquiles.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
- Birria.
[ANTONI] Girls after my own heart.
I'm not gonna come in here and
teach you how to make Mexican food.
- Are there other types of food, or
- American food would be nice.
- American food?
- Yeah. I have no idea.
Maybe we can work on something
that they can start to prepare.
And then you can deal with the stove
or anything that requires
a little more attention.
And also one of your kids
is wanted for bootlegging.
- I'm gonna keep their identity secret.
- Don't tell them about Whiskey Sisters.
- I won't tell them. Nope.
- Okay.
[JONATHAN] How do you
take care of yourself?
I just put some mousse.
Oh, I love a little mousse.
But most of the time, I just put
a clip in 'cause I don't have time.
But, like, this is the week for you.
Is there anything else you've always
wanted to do you've never done?
I would like to maybe change my look.
There are some things that we can
do that can be really low-maintenance
and, like, very low commitment.
It's time to get Sara's sexy back.
You're a gorgeous woman. It's
happening. We're doing it.
- Yay.
- Say, "I'm bringing Sara's sexy back."
We're definitely gonna have to
try our best to bring sexy back
'cause there's nothing
sexy about any of this.
- [JONATHAN] What are you doing, Sara?
- I'm bringing Sara's sexy back.
I love that. I didn't mean to yell
at you. So cute. I get so excited.
Let's talk kitchen. I'm
gonna [BEEP] this kitchen up.
- Let's go.
- [JEREMIAH] Let's [BEEP] this
[GRUNTING]
We can go a little
harder. One, two, three.
[BOTH GRUNT]
I did do football one
year in middle school.
You did? Tight end?
That's me now.
Oh!
What are you wearing at school,
when you're a mum, when
you've got any free time?
Most of the time, I just
wear blue jeans or sweatpants.
- 'Cause I'm seeing a lot of stuff
- Those are my going out clothes.
- [TAN] These are going out clothes?
- Yes. [LAUGHS]
[TAN] You've got more
personality than these clothes.
I have more important
things to care about it.
- Okay.
- But you have a point.
Right now, you are studying for
a hospitality management degree.
- Yes.
- [TAN] Correct. Okay.
- What do you wanna do with that degree?
- I want to find a good job.
What are you gonna wear that says,
"I am powerful. I am
strong. I'm confident,
and I'm gonna get this job"?
I don't know.
By the look of your eldest daughter,
Madeline, she cares about clothes.
- She looks fab.
- She does.
Sometimes she say,
"Mom, don't wear that.
It doesn't look good." [LAUGHS]
Okay, then I'm going to be an
amplified version of Madeline
and say you don't need so much of this.
- [KARAMO] So how are you?
- [SARA] Very surprised.
[KARAMO] Yeah, very? Very?
- But in a really good way.
- Yeah.
I love it.
You've been having a lot of surprises
over the past couple of years, right?
Mm-hmm. It's been hard financially,
but I have my motivation.
Three beautiful girls
that have a good heart.
So I'm thankful for what I have.
You're going to the
next chapter, school.
Do you ever celebrate yourself?
Uh, no.
Why?
There is always something else to do.
And I cannot stop. I have to keep going.
I got enough credits to get
my, um, associate degree,
but I don't want to go through
the graduation and all that stuff.
I wanna keep going 'cause for
me, my goal is to get my bachelor.
I understand not wanting
to walk graduation.
- You have a bigger goal.
- [SARA] Mm-hmm.
But why not celebrate the
fact that you even did that?
I don't know. I
I didn't think of it.
But would you want your daughters
to go through life not
celebrating themselves?
No. No.
No. They deserve the best.
But the only way they're gonna
know that is by watching you.
Do you realize you're important to them?
I am, but
- [KARAMO] There's no "but."
- Being there [CHUCKLES]
[KARAMO] No "but."
Do we feel like we got
what we needed, everyone?
- [JEREMIAH] Yes.
- Yes?
[MARIA ELENA] Yes.
Yes! [LAUGHS]
- Yes!
- I'm so excited.
- Are you ready for this?
- Yes.
Are you terrified?
- Yes.
- [ANTONI] Yes!
- Okay, vamos.
- [TAN] Vamos.
[CHEERING]
Bye, guys!
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[JEREMIAH] The real heartbeat of Vegas
is people like Sara who've been
working in the hospitality industry.
Her whole identity is just wrapped
up in taking care of other people.
So I wanna give Sara the most insane,
over-the-top renovation possible.
[ANTONI] Sara loves
preparing Mexican food,
but she wants to lean into
the cuisine of the country
in which she's inhabiting.
So I wanna teach her something easy
that she can have her daughters
help her make going forward.
[TAN] I wanna find clothes for
her that will work for interviews,
that will work for college,
that will work for a new job,
and put her in things
that make it very clear
that she is ready for the next step.
[KARAMO] Sara's husband
being deported is horrible
because all the pressure is on her now
to do everything for the
family, for the girls.
But at the same time, she
has to take care of herself.
So I wanna make sure I
can help her to slow down
and understand balance.
[JONATHAN] Sara puts
the "exy" in "sexy,"
but she just forgot
because she's so busy.
So we are going to
bring Sara's sexy back.

When was the last time you shopped?
- For myself?
- Yeah.
I don't know. It's it's been a while.
Like years or months?
- Years.
- Okay.
What is it about shopping
that has you not shop?
Is it circumstance, or is it
just that you don't like shopping?
- [SARA] Both.
- Okay.
If I have the chance to go shopping,
I'd rather buy something for the girls.
Of course.
And lately, I just don't care
that much about my appearance
'cause I don't like how my clothes fit,
so I'd just rather not to.
Okay.
Talk to me about what you're wearing.
I'm wearing blue jeans and a shirt.
Why do you like these jeans?
Why did you choose these jeans?
- 'Cause they're comfortable.
- [TAN] Okay.
[CHUCKLES]
- That's it?
- Yeah.
End of sentence. Did you like
the way they made you look?
Yeah, it's okay. Good enough to go out.
If you were to just make these a
little bit slimmer at the bottom,
just a little bit of a taper, will
make you feel a little bit taller.
It'll make your legs
a little bit longer.
So you're studying right
now for your degree.
Yes.
I kind of wanna treat this
like back to school for you.
- Okay.
- When was the last time you felt pretty?
Um
When Madeline helps me,
when she does my hair.
But it's not often, 'cause I
don't spend too much time on
[TAN] Okay.
Imagine I'm your mum
for the day. [LAUGHS]
I don't wanna be your dad.
I'm taking you back-to-school shopping,
but your version of back to school is,
"I'm gonna get a job. I'm
gonna go to an interview,
and I'm gonna choose an outfit
that's gonna make me feel
as good as I did in my outfit
on my first day of school."
I'm excited.
[TAN] It's clear that Sara hasn't
been very experimental with clothes.
And quite honestly, they don't
fit her quite right anymore,
'cause her body's changed.
And she's completely set
aside the way she feels,
which is hopefully joy.
And so I wanna find that for her again.
Tell me what you think.
[SIGHS]
I'm surprised.
Um
- It's pretty.
- [TAN] Yes.
[SARA] It's really pretty, yeah.
The shirt makes me look good.
[TAN] Yeah.
- These do your body justice.
- Mm-hmm.
Like, this little bit
of extra is so nice
because it's gonna make you feel
a lot more confident in your body.
You've got great legs.
You do not need to
go back to wide jeans.
Show 'em off. I wanna be a bit extra.
- Would you put these on?
- Sure.
This lady, I wanna know. [CHUCKLES]
[SARA] I like it.
- But I ju Can I take your hair out?
- [SARA] Yeah, sure.
Oh.
You're a different person to the
person who walked into this store.
And I feel different.
I might not just look
different. I feel different.
You also look ten years younger.
[BOTH LAUGH]
- Thank you. You make my day.
- Should we try on one last outfit?
- Sure.
- Great.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
- Sara, you ready?
- [SARA] Yes.
Wow. I love it.
[TAN] Good.
[SARA] I think I never
wear a jumpsuit before.
Okay.
- I like the belt.
- [TAN] You like the belt?
- Yes.
- [TAN] Great.
We're really trying to focus
on the area of your body
that I really wanna show off,
which is your hips and your legs.
I definitely notice how choosing the
right clothes can change a person.
And I feel good.
The way you're moving
is totally different.
- Which is so nice to see.
- Think so?
- [TAN] Yes.
- [SARA] I love it.
Yeah.
Are we getting closer to what
you think would feel good for you?
Yes, definitely.
Thank you for being so open.
- [SARA] Thank you.
- Of course. Thank you so much.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
I must start the flow ♪
- [JEREMIAH] They're so sweet, your girls.
- [SARA] Thank you.
[JEREMIAH] Who's the
biggest troublemaker?
[SARA] The little one.
[JEREMIAH] You can tell.
She came out in that purple
jumper. You know she means business.
Mmm.
- [JEREMIAH] After you.
- [SARA] Thank you.
[JEREMIAH] So welcome
to what is arguably
my favorite store, Living Spaces.
Disregard that, young lady.
[SARA] Okay.
Have you ever shopped for a mattress?
[SARA] Once, like, ten years ago.
Sara's currently sleeping on the
floor of her daughter's bedroom.
So I'm giving her a
brand-new primary suite
because she works ten-hour shifts.
And I'm hoping the bed can remind her
she needs to take care
of herself as well.
Today, you're picking your own mattress.
- Okay.
- This is all about you.
The best way I've
found to test out a bed
is really kind of the dismount is
Oh, yes.
- [SARA CHUCKLES]
- Okay, ready?
Come and get it ♪
Oh yeah ♪
Come and get it ♪
This is a six. No, seven.
[GROANS]
[SARA] Well, this one is not bad either.
[BOTH LAUGH]
None of them are gonna be bad
compared to what you've got going now.
Your bed and the ceremony sometimes
of just going to bed is important.
You curling into bed and it
being not just about sleeping,
but it being about relaxing
can be a really easy way for
us to make a moment for you.
All right, let's keep looking.
What do you think?
Uh
I don't know. [CHUCKLES]
Is it hard for you to make
decisions just for yourself?
Mmm, 'cause I never do.
I have to involve them.
- Why?
- 'Cause they're part of my life.
I get it. And I feel
like so much of your life
has been providing for your family.
But this decision really is about
getting in touch with
what you need for yourself.
If that makes sense.
- Yeah?
- Yes.
Okay. And we start
by picking a mattress.
[LAUGHS] Okay.
Look at what this bed does.
You can turn a light on.
- Yeah.
- Crazy.
Also, you've been working all day.
I don't wanna sit up.
The bed can just
- Oh, wow.
- [JEREMIAH] Literally can come up for you.
Are we in, like, a
height of luxury mode?
Do you like that the
bed goes up and down
I love it. I love that.
Listen. Yes. Right.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
You know what? That one.
[JEREMIAH GASPS] Wow.
Say, "See you soon, boo."
- See you soon.
- Let's try it one more time.
- Let me see what the fuss is about.
- Yeah.
[JEREMIAH] Oh wow.
Life is full of complication ♪
You really gotta give your all ♪
Mmm, mmm ♪
[ANTONI] I listened to what you said.
And I tried to make sure
that we're doing something
that makes you happy.
And we have this whole
beautiful kitchen to ourselves.
Okay. Yay!
- I like to cook. And I like to learn.
- [ANTONI] Good.
I also have a couple of
questions for you before we start.
- 'Cause I'm a very curious person.
- Sure.
Why did you choose Vegas?
Um, my mom, my dad, because
back then my dad was here too.
- They were together.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
- And my only sister were here.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
Learning that, um that
your husband was deported,
I'm guessing it came as a shock.
- Like, you weren't expecting it.
- It was suddenly.
So the plans we had
changed suddenly too.
- [ANTONI] Yeah.
- Our entire life.
Do they communicate with him regularly?
- Do they have phone calls?
- Yes, very often. Yeah.
In a way, he's been there for them.
Okay. Not able to
physically be there, but
Not the way we planned it to.
But, yeah, he's been there.
But I will make it work because
giving up's not an option.
- You made a lot of sacrifices to be here.
- Thank you.
I don't see it that way.
I think I'm just doing what
every mom do for their kids.
[ANTONI] It's shocking
what she's gone through,
but there isn't a single ounce
of feeling sorry for herself,
any type of pessimism.
I respect anybody who's decided to
just completely uproot their lives,
go to a place that's completely
unknown, and just start anew.
When I asked you what you
would like to learn more of,
you mentioned American.
- Yes.
- What brought that along?
Because I don't know anything about it.
I just know about burgers.
Uh-huh.
And I think it's important
to know a little bit more
because we live here.
- Yeah.
- My daughters were born here.
So why not?
One of my very favorite
things is meatloaf.
- Have you made meatloaf before?
- No.
[ANTONI] We're gonna make
Do you like ground meat?
- Yeah.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
And it's something that I think
the girls could even help prepare.
And since you're so busy,
it could be a fun way to
incorporate family time.
- Right?
- Yeah.
[ANTONI] So we have ground bison.
It's very much like beef.
It's a little more lean,
so there's less fat.
But really nice and
flavorful. It's not too gamy.
These are Japanese-style breadcrumbs,
so they're a little bigger.
- It's a different texture.
- [ANTONI] Very different.
So I'm gonna add some milk into here.
And that's gonna make our meatloaf
really moist and, like, light-tasting.
So how much time do you have to spend
cooking after a long day of work?
It depends what I do.
Could be half an hour.
- Could be two hours.
- Yeah.
But the girls are not picky.
- So they used to eat leftovers. They love.
- [ANTONI] Oh, good.
How do you raise a kid not to be picky?
- I don't know. I'm blessed.
- [LAUGHS]
- Whatever I put on the table, they eat it.
- [ANTONI] Good for you.
In a food processor, we
have an onion in here.
Throw in some garlic cloves.
Olive oil.
A couple of pinches of salt.
So we don't wanna fully cook these.
We just want them to be translucent.
- [SARA] Not well-cooked.
- [ANTONI] Exactly.
'Cause this is gonna all
cook in the oven afterwards.
Go ahead and put all of that
into the mix right over there.
This is lemon zest. It's gonna
add a little bit of brightness.
Coriander seed.
So it's cilantro from the plant.
- It's the seed from it.
- Oh, okay.
We need a little heat.
- So I have some chili flakes.
- Yeah. Okay.
[ANTONI] And there's nothing
more American than ketchup.
[SARA CHUCKLES] Yes.
So two eggs.
This is gonna help as a binder.
So it's gonna help hold
everything together.
The mixing part is something I feel like
the girls can easily help with as well.
Yeah.
[ANTONI] So I'm gonna add a little
bit of salt. A little pepper.
And then some fresh parsley.
It's a little peppery, and it's
gonna add a little brightness.
- Do you cook with parsley?
- Uh, not much.
- No?
- No. I use cilantro a lot.
But parsley, not much.
I feel like parsley is
the American cilantro.
Excellent. Now here
comes the messy part.
A bit of brown sugar.
So it's gonna be like
a nice caramelized crust
to have a bit of that sweetness.
And then a bit of ketchup as well.
[SARA] Try to make it even.
[ANTONI] Yep. I don't
even have to tell you.
- All right.
- [SARA] Nice.
Your mother-in-law, so she's organizing
a little event at the end of the week.
I hear that you're not happy about it.
Well, it's not that I'm not happy.
I just don't used to celebrate myself.
- [ANTONI] Okay.
- I think I have better things to do.
[CHUCKLES]
You're laughing at your own statement.
I do think that any little moments
of being able to celebrate yourself
and just to take a moment
- Slow down a little bit.
- [ANTONI] Yeah, to slow down.
[ANTONI] Sara's a woman who
doesn't take too many breaks.
We all gotta work hard. We all
have our hopes and our dreams.
But every once in a while, like,
just sit down and have
a little bite of cake.
Or meatloaf.
This tastes really good.
I really wanna try this
at home with the girls.
- Nice.
- It's so it's good.
[ANTONI] We did it. We did it.
Ready for the bright side ♪
Ready for the bright side ♪
Ready for the bright side ♪
[KARAMO] When was the last
time you took a week off?
Mmm, I don't know.
Never, maybe. [CHUCKLES]
[KARAMO] I understand the
mentality of wanting to work hard
so that your kids'll
have a better future.
But the one thing you
can't get back is time.
- Hey, girls.
- [GASPS]
- Oh my God.
- [KARAMO CHUCKLES]
[KARAMO] There's no way
I'm gonna give Sara a lesson
about taking time for herself
and spending time with the family
and not have her spend
time with the family.
We haven't had a day
like this in forever.
- [KARAMO] Forever?
- Yeah.
Even though her daughters understand
why their mom is working so hard,
they still want some mom time.
And so Sara has to be able to model
that balance of working hard
and going after your dream,
while also putting
family and yourself first.
The day right ♪

I want Sara to walk into her house

Isn't this salon gorgeous?
- [SARA] Yes, it is.
- Ah.
Take a seat, Sara. This is your throne.
Okay.
You are queen of this
corner of the salon.
Oh, thank you.
Ah.
This hair is so pretty.
How often do you get a haircut?
Not often. Just usually
I just cut the ends.
I like to use my hair
down too. I never
And how do you wear it
down? Do you wear it curly?
- Blow it out smooth?
- Curly.
- [JONATHAN] Curly.
- No, curly.
So right now, it's kind of more
like the movement's more down here
'cause it's a little more one length.
But if we can lift this up a little
Ooh. I love your natural curls, and
I think that we can embrace those.
[SARA] I trust you, Jonathan. I
know I am in really good hands.
Yes, queen.
Sara's beauty routine is giving
a hair clip, not much else.
But I know we can give
her a little bit of polish,
a bit of intention,
and just take her to the next level
of what it is to be Sara, honey,
the manager of the hospitality universe.
For hospitality management,
what do you have to learn?
Like is there math?
- Yeah. Some.
- Oh my God.
I'm only good at adding hair color.
It's the only math I can really do.
You learn a little bit
of everything there,
so it's I like it.
I like to be busy.
So you could be like, "I am
Sara. I'm the HBIC of "
Is it the Wynn? Is it Fontainebleau?
Do you know what "HBIC" stands for?
No.
Head.
- Bitch.
- No idea.
[JONATHAN] In charge.
Oh, I like that.
I can literally see the city
of Las Vegas make a new position
where Sara becomes, like, the
czar of the Las Vegas Strip.
And she's like, "Uh, please get
the fountain fixed at the Bellagio."
"Thank you. HBIC, comma, Sara."

It depends on the country. In

- In Guatemala, yeah, we say colochos.
In Mexico, they call it chinos.
- [JONATHAN] Chinos. Oh, interesting.
- Chinos. Yes.
[JONATHAN] Flip over
for me one more time.
That's good.
[SARA] I can see my my colochos.
- [JONATHAN] You can see your colochos.
- Yeah. Sí.
[JONATHAN] Claro que sí, honey.
Esos colochos son bonitos.
- [SARA] Gracias.
- [JONATHAN] Yes.
Are you ready to see the new you?
- Ready?
- [SARA] Okay.
Three, two, one.
And this is the new Sara.

So pretty.
But sexy at the same time.
- Wild and sexy.
- [JONATHAN] Yes, wild and sexy.
What was that? Oh, Sara found the sexy.
I am
The HBIC.
- the HBIC.
- Yes, she is.
Ah. Obsessed.
The confidence, the texture,
it's in the room with us.
It's Sara.
I think I'm gonna be the whole
night looking at me in the mirror.
I mean, honey, that's the point.
I haven't straight up asked Sara
about her sexual orientation,
but I think she may be Sarasexual
because I think she might
start making out with herself.
I love it.
- [JONATHAN] You do, right?
- Yeah!
That it feels good ♪
Yeah, it feels good ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
- [KARAMO] Love your hair. So gorgeous.
- [SARA] Thank you.
So your daughter told
me that you bought a car
and that it broke down a
week later on the freeway.
What did they say?
I sent him a text and asked him,
"Hey, do you know that the car was bad?"
And he say, "Oh, no,
the car works perfectly."
So when you said there was bad
luck behind, like, it was
- You meant serious, like
- Yes.
You needed this week with us.
- You deserved it.
- [SARA] Yes.
And it's been an amazing week.
Well, it's not done yet,
because things are about to get better.
Oh my goodness.
- How do you feel?
- Good. I'm
- This is your future campus.
- Yes.
- You've never been here, right?
- No.
Not even just to walk.
- Never?
- Never.
So take it in.
Sara's goal is to transfer to UNLV
so that she can continue her
goal of getting her bachelor's.
I wanna make sure that I support
her by helping her to register
and feel comfortable on campus.
I can tell that Sara's a little nervous.
And I want her to know
that someone's here.
I got your back. This is gonna be great.
- Hospitality, oh!
- Right? Ah!
[SARA] I just noticed this.
This is gonna be my home now.
[KARAMO] This is gonna be your home!
It's your new school. This is amazing.
Like a princess walking
into your new school.
When she gets that bachelor's degree,
she better not skip that celebration,

Thank you. Thank you very much.
Oh my God, you're amazing. I love it.
[ANTONI] You were
mentioning how you come home,
you don't necessarily
have time to, like,
make a whole meal from scratch.
And so I have leftover meatloaf,
whatever you and I didn't consume.
And we're gonna make the simplest
and one of my very favorite
sandwiches of all time.
- Okay.
- I have some beautiful tomatoes.
I have some butter Bibb lettuce,
my favorite mayo, leftover meatloaf,
and King's Hawaiian rolls.
Sweet, delicious.
And this is so easy, so practical.
I figure the girls are gonna be hungry.
I like to crisp them up
on a pan a little bit.
And I'm not gonna cook this side
'cause I want that one
to be nice and soft.
- Beautiful browning.
- Mm-hmm.
I just love the size of these rolls
'cause they're just
the perfect little bite.
And then we assemble.
So first tomato.
One on each, please.
If you wanna have two tomatoes,
it's your sandwich,
so you get to decide.
- A little piece of the meatloaf.
- [SARA] It's so simple to do.
[ANTONI] This is my favorite. It's
like a Japanese-style mayonnaise.
The thing is, whenever I'm making
food, JVN can smell it from a mile.
We were told there was
food. Come on, girls.
[ANTONI] This is kind of the
first meal in your new home.

how gorgeous you look
with your hair and your makeup,
we need outfits to match.
There's stuff here that's
gonna work with everything
that you're gonna need to do.
For interviews and college, as
well as your day-to-day life.
You're gonna go out with the
family tomorrow and celebrate.
I'm gonna show you what
I think you should wear.
This is my very light,
forceful suggestion.
I'm obsessed with that top.
Let's balance it out by
putting it with a pair of jeans.
And you can decide
whatever shoe you want.
My preference would be this
because it's got a chunky heel.
- It's gonna be comfortable.
- Sure!
I wanna shock them
by putting you in something
that is so different
from what we've seen you in,
which is more casual.
When's the last time
you saw your mom, like,
really dressed up for something?
Probably for my 15.
I wanna go to a quinceañera.
I've never been to one before.
- What?!
- Can I have my own?
- It's too late for you.
- Too late.
