While Amy has a job interview at Corporate, Dina tries to keep it secret from Jonah. Meanwhile, Mateo offers to organize a party for Cheyenne's 21st birthday, and Glenn tries to help Sandra adopt.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Oh, that is wonderful. A family is the greatest gift that you can give a child and... and it makes sense, 'cause you know, it can be hard to get pregnant at our age.
Sandra: Oh, I think I'm actually younger than you.
Glenn: Oh. Okay. Younger, taller, sure. Whatever you need to tell yourself, Sandra.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: [sings] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
Cheyenne: Aww. You don't have to...
Mateo: [continues singing] ♪ Don't interrupt me, dear Cheyenne ♪ ♪ Happy birthday to ♪ [riffing] [gasps] ♪ You ♪
Cheyenne: Thanks, but my birthday isn't till Saturday.
Mateo: Oh, I know. I just wanted to make sure that when you finally have your first legal drink, it's from me. So are we gonna have a party?
Cheyenne: Nah. We're broke as ass right now, so we'll probably just stay home and eat SpaghettiOs and listen to the neighbors fight.
Mateo: No, you... you have to have a party. Just ask your friends to chip in or, I don't know, charge them to come.
Cheyenne: You think people wanna pay to watch me get drunk?
Mateo: Cheyenne, you're young and hot. People would pay to watch you kill a goat.
Cheyenne: Thank you.
Mateo: We are throwing you a party.
Cheyenne: Yay!

Quote from Amy

Mark: And what about customers of color? Do you have any strategies for connecting with any particular demographic?
Amy: Um... [laughs nervously] Yeah. Sure. Of course. As a Latina... [laughs] I know that... family is very important to our culture, so I'm thinking... shared family accounts with distinct user profiles.
Zoe: See? Right there. That's something we wouldn't have thought of.
Mark: Really fresh perspective.
Amy: Yeah. I mean, all I know is that my mom, she uses my Zephra account for everything, and I'm just like, "Mamá, ven acá. I have your achiote paste." [laughs] It's a Honduran staple.
Mark: Oh. Did you grow up in Honduras?
Amy: Well, um... not physically, but if you think of it in a broader sense, like, in the cultura that was passed down to me, then... [sighs] Still no. Um, look, it's pretty obvious that you invited me here to interview for your resident Latina or whatever...
Zoe: No, that's not what we're...
Mark: No, no. It's more about fresh perspectives.
Amy: Right, right. I'm qualified for this job because I have 17 years of experience, and I know everything there is to know about our customers, but if all you're looking for is somebody with a spicy last name, then I suggest you keep looking. [drinks]
Mark: That's my water.
Amy: I'm sorry.

Quote from Sandra

Glenn: So, Tony, Sandra is from Hawaii.
Tony: Cool. Do you surf?
Sandra: No, I've never been to the beach. But I've seen people surfing. Like, in pictures.
Glenn: Oh! Radical.

Quote from Glenn

Garrett: Hey, sorry to interrupt your surprise adoption.
Glenn: Oh, no, you missed it. They were just getting along like gangbusters. They have so much in common, like they're both pet lovers. Yeah, Sandra has a cat and Tony has an aquarium. Tell her how many sharks you have, Tony.
Tony: Three.
Glenn: Three.
Sandra: Oh, um, what are their names?
Tony: They don't have names. They're sharks.
Sandra: [whispers] Yeah.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Dina, come on. Just tell me where Amy is.
Girl: The Easter Bunny doesn't talk.
Jonah: No, I know, and that's very convenient for her.
Janet: You're in the shot.
Jonah: Okay, Janet, relax. You're not Anne Geddes. All right, fine. Then we will do it this way. [shuffles the girl away] Thank you so much. Happy Easter. Look away, kids. [removes Easter Bunny costume head] Oh. Hi, Brett. What... Amy?
Dina: Oh, what, you actually thought I'd get in that suit? I've been hiding in my truck. That thing's soaked in urine.

Quote from Garrett

Garrett: Look, Sandra, I gotta say something here. You know you don't have to adopt that child... man, really, he's a full-grown man... just because Glenn wants you to.
Sandra: I just feel bad because he seems like a good kid and he doesn't have parents, you know?
Garrett: Yeah, but he could have kids.

Quote from Sandra

Glenn: So what have I gotta do to put that boy into your home today, huh?
Sandra: You know, Glenn, I really, really wanna be a mom and I'm definitely planning to adopt, but I wasn't planning to do it today.
Glenn: Oh, no. Of course not, no. Adoption isn't that simple. It can be a long process. But as a first step, I was able to work my connections with the foster agency, and they can arrange for Tony to sleep at your house starting tonight.
Sandra: Oh. It's good to have connections.
Garrett: You know, Glenn, you can't expect her to take this kid into her home without talking to Jerry first, right, Sandra?
Sandra: Yeah, I should really discuss this with him.
Glenn: Oh. Yeah, absolutely. Why don't you call him now?
Sandra: Oh, now? Um, okay. [takes out phone] Hi. It's me. Glenn wants us to adopt a 17-year-old and his sharks. Uh-huh. Three of them. Yep, you're right. I'll tell him. Thanks. He's okay with it. [Glenn gasps]
Garrett: Are you sure? 'Cause he could have said anything, and we wouldn't know.
Sandra: Yeah.

Quote from Sandra

Sandra: So I talked to Jerry, and he said we could probably fit your shark tank in the kitchen if we take out the oven.
Tony: Cool. Who's Jerry?
Sandra: He's your new dad.
Tony: Oh. Can we stop at Panda Express?
Sandra: Sure. [tries to hold Tony's hand]
Tony: Mom, stop.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: So I found a really great place for you. It's, like, 10 minutes away from Zephra, and it's right by a park so Parker could play and you could teach Emma to play chess. Once I teach you.
