His grandmother, Amalia Ramirez, is coming for a visit, and once, when it looked as if she was dying, he told her he was married with a family to make her happy. He doesn't know whether he should tell her the truth as she still has a weak heart. But thinking of a wife, he remembers back to the one who got away, namely Sister Bertrille's sister, Jennifer. When Carlos' grandmother arrives, she sees Jennifer's photo on Carlos' desk and assumes that's his wife. Telling her that Jennifer is away on vacation for a couple of weeks only makes his grandmother decide to stay in San Juan until Carlos' family returns. Carlos learns from Sister Bertrille that Jennifer is currently in Miami, and he calls her to come to San Juan on a medical emergency. Two complications arise when Jennifer arrives. First, she has a fiancé in tow. And second, Carlos' grandmother sees her. They need to extend the deception further and use two of the convent children as Carlos' kids. Things take a turn for the worse when Amalia first sees Jennifer kissing her fiancé Paul, then sees Carlos kissing one of his girlfriends, Lisa. Thinking that she is saving the children from a possible broken home, Amalia runs off with the two children, planning to take them back to Argentina with her. Sister Bertrille manages to catch up with her and the children at the airport before they take off, and finally tells her the truth. Rather than keel over and have a heart attack like Sister Bertrille expects, Amalia is relieved and happy that her grandson loves her so much as to fabricate a story just to make her happy.
