Tipin' Tipin', the perpetually rejected lover is in a days-long deep sleep under the house his landlord kicked him out of. Carmen and the boys get him out, but no one will take him in, so Carmen takes him to her house for recuperation. Gato resents Pipo and Manuel's attraction to each other and is punched out after provoking Manuel. Manuel later seduces her. Luba, a newcomer to Palomar, quickly attracts many customers to her bañadora business, to Chelo's bemused surprise. Toco annoys the boys when he tries to tag along with them, but dies overnight after laughing himself to death.
