Jamie and Luisa hit it off, and she agrees to let him take her out on a date. However, things take a turn when Luisa reveals that she is undocumented and fears being deported, which could separate her from her children.

The Reagan family comes together to help Luisa, discussing what they can do to help her. Ultimately, Jackie uses her own connections to help Luisa get the necessary paperwork to stay in the country legally, and Jamie continues to see her.
