[narrator reading]
Oat meal!
[Tere exclaims] The toilet seat is frozen!
Um, is Tere new here?
The can's always cold first thing in the morning.
Frosty buns.
[coughing]
So dry... Dónde está mi artesian spring water?
Dehydration.
Dehydration detected. Scanning.
[yelping] Not the hair!
Mission complete.
[shivers] Toilet's so cold.
Buenos dias, niñas.
Tia, FYI, your toilet seat warmer is broken.
Toilet seat warmer?
[laughs] You slay me.
- Here, oatmeal for breakfast. - Uh, I think you mean sludge.
Yeah, no thanks, Tia Bibi.
We'll have our usual acai bowls, please.
Oh, the smoothie bowls. I don't make those.
They just appear in the fridge every morning.
Icy toilets, and no skin-nourishing superfoods?
Why do bad things happen to pretty people?
Qué difícil ser yo.
Well, at least you didn't sprain your ankle like your sister Tabi.
Poor thing can barely get around.
Tater, can you take this to Tabi, porfa?
You know, that happened on your watch, beebs.
Maybe you should take it up.
Mmm.
Okay, okay, I'm going.
Poor Tabi.
As if spraining her ankle wasn't bad enough,
now she gets sludged.
Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
[yowls]
[sniffing] Ah, breakfast.
Breakfast! I overslept!
Oh, oh, oh.
No cold toilets on my watch.
[bird call]
Oh, no. It's too late.
I've slacked on my morning chores.
Chores with a sprained ankle?
Don't be a hero, Tab. Come on, you need to rest.
I know I should rest, but... Wait, what day is it?
I like to call it Friday. The prequel.
It's Thursday?
Today's our check-in call with Dad.
He's gonna see that I haven't been taking
proper care of Tere and Tonita.
Those two did seem a little frazzled this morning.
My sisters need a consistent morning routine,
and I've broken it.
Ugh!
[Tater] Booyah-buh blow dryer.
It all makes sense now.
Some mornings I wake up extra early.
You know, get started on my worrying.
I've seen you.
I just thought you did your hair early so no one would see it messy.
I woke up like this.
It's my duty as big sis to keep Tere and Tonita
from getting homesick.
You know?
So you cook the toilet seat with a blow dryer.
You don't understand, prima.
Once you go self-warming toilet,
your buns can never go back.
Go back to where?
You're an older sister, too. You know how it is.
It's like being a third parent to the younger ones.
Hmm. Oh, yeah. Tell me about it.
I just want to make sure they're comfortable here.
Who knew Tabi did so much for us?
How'd we miss this?
Were we naive to think that every house has smart toilets
- and water bottle service? - Nah.
Nah, Tia Bibi just likes things... rustic.
Well, we gotta do something to thank Tabi.
But what?
Maybe we need another big sis point of view.
- Is Lita around? - Couldn't help overhearing, primas.
Lita's at work.
But this big sis might be able to pencil you in. [chuckles]
- Meh. - Great!
Step into my office.
Why is she like this?
So, you come to me, Donya Tater,
on the day of your father's video call?
- [exclaims] - [cat shrieks]
Actually, you came to us.
Uh, right, right.
Mmm. Cha Cha.
Anyway, we need advice.
We want to get Tabi a gift for all she's done,
but we don't know what she likes.
Yeah, Tabi always picks presents we like
so she can share them with us.
Well, good thing I can think of a million gifts
I'd love from my siblings.
Mm-mmm.
So, what do you have in mind?
Let's make her a gift she can't refuse.
[Tere] Oh, Tabi!
[both] We got you a present!
It was my idea.
Oh! Oh, no!
Huh?
Did I miss National Sister's Day?
I'm so sorry.
I'm the worst sister in the world.
No, no, no, no.
It's just a little thank you gift from Tonita and me.
But I overslept and didn't make your acai bowls.
It's okay.
- Right, Tonita? - Yeah.
We love Tia Bibi's brown goop.
I try so hard.
Gracias, hermanitas. I love this.
And I know exactly where to put it.
[screams]
[Tabi] What's wrong, hermanitas? Is the seat cold again?
I got the blow dryer right here.
This mug has been in the bathroom!
- It's useless now! - I'm sorry.
It was my idea.
The primos needed the mug way more than I did.
And it's way better than what we were using before.
We weren't using anything before.
Mmm. [grunts]
Ah.
- [cat shrieks] - Aw, beans.
Just as we thought,
Tabi is impossible to shop for.
Would it kill her not to be so selfless?
Hmm, how about the gift of art?
I'm pretty sure the resident artiste
could spare her talents for a noble cause.
Ooh, custom artwork is classy and non-transferable.
Tia Bibi can help make a portrait of Tabi.
Let's go.
But I'm the artiste.
- So you'll do it? - My first commission?
Por supuesto! First, Hacienda.
Next, Paris.
That's our professional color analysis.
Please refer to it for Tabi's preapproved color palette.
So, what's it gonna be, charcoal?
- Watercolor? - Not sure yet.
I'm waiting to see which ones speak to me.
Bibi, choose me. Let the gouache guide you.
No, Bibi, choose me.
I'll lead you to your destiny.
- Oh. - Uh...
Bibi has no plan. She's talking to the paint.
It's not too late to call in L'Artiste,
formerly known as Pomme de Tay-Terre.
Tia Bibi, work your magic.
So tell me, sweetie, what is the essence of Tabi?
[exclaims]
[Tere] So beautiful!
[Tonita] This needs to be hanging at the Louvre!
Mona Lisa whomst? Wait, no!
We can't be distracted by our devastatingly good looks.
This was supposed to be of just Tabi,
but we're all in here!
Tabi thought she looked lonely without her sisters,
so she asked me to put you girls in.
Esa niña es una santa.
Santa is a niña?
Incredible!
Ah! Tabi being a saint is exactly the problem.
Why can't Tabi just appreciate being appreciated?
Tater, what do we do now?
Yeah, I don't get it. I would have loved each of those presents
if Nellie was nice enough to gift them to me.
Hey, sis, can I finish your mangonada?
- I thought I hid that! - You did.
I know you stash your treats with the frozen peas.
Ugh, fine. But just two sips...
- [slurping] - Hey, those are gulps!
- Give me that! - Finders keepers.
[both grunting]
I know what we did wrong.
We consulted the wrong person.
We need someone who's like our Tabi.
Someone caring, selfless, and--
Not Tater.
Huh? [grunts]
No shade, prima, but you're not exactly selfless.
[sighs] It be your own family.
What do they know? I'm a great big sister.
I'm selfless and caring.
[babbles]
Right, Baby Bud?
[babbles]
[Baby Bud laughs]
That's all I needed to hear.
All right.
Who's someone who takes care of everyone without asking
- for anything in return? - Hmm.
Hmm? Tia Bibi, you're selfless.
What would you give someone who is so selfless
- they don't know how to relax? - What?
I can relax.
Let me tell you, I really let loose every now and then.
See, sometimes I don't always look for exact sock pairs.
Mmm.
Oh, but the matching one is right there. [laughs]
Oh, might as well.
[laughs] See?
Right.
But we were talking about Tabi.
We've been trying to give her a thank-you present, but she's un-giftable.
Hmm.
Tabi works so hard to make your lives easier.
Is there anything you can do to make hers easier?
Hmm.
Thanks for giving me a lift, Big Nacho.
My sisters need their aromatherapy.
No problem!
This is basically my regular exercise routine.
- Squat! Squat! Squat! - Tabi!
[both] Drop the aromatherapy!
Tabi, we have to talk.
Thank you, Big Nacho.
- This is an intervention. - Look.
We appreciate all you do for us, but it's a bit much.
A bit much? You mean I overdo things?
You hurt your ankle carrying Tonita after
she fell asleep on the couch.
- She could have just slept there. - Mmm...
I guess I just feel responsible for you both
because I'm the oldest.
I feel you, prima.
Being the oldest is a lot of responsibility.
But you've got to remember, you're just a kid.
I mean, look at Tater.
She's a perfect example of someone not weighed down
by responsibility.
- Huh? - If she can do it,
you can too.
Just because you can carry everyone
doesn't mean you have to.
Yeah, we're a team.
Let us help.
That's so sweet, hermanitas. I'd like that.
I guess I could let you guys help a little bit.
[both] Yes, please.
Well, okay.
Uh, here's my to-do list for today.
Uh, we got this.
- [cell phone ringing] - Oh, but it's time for our call with Dad.
[all] Hola, Papa.
Hola, mis amores.
Calling to make sure you're doing well,
and most importantly, hope you're having fun.
[both] Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Y Tabi.
Cómo está mi capitana?
Muy bien, Papi.
The T team is stronger than ever.
This is all well and good, but...
who doesn't like actual presents?
Like, say, a tasteful tiara.
[clears throat hintingly]
[in sing-song voice] Nellie.
A tasteful tiara, huh?
[vacuum cleaner whirring]
That's the stuff, big sis. You want that tiara?
You gotta work for it.
And after that seat's nice and toasty,
we'd like some pancakes with a chocolate chip smile.
- Right, Baby Bud? - [babbles]
[Nellie] Oh, good thinking.
And after pancakes, you can treat us
to a luxurious spa day.
[Tater] I'm regretting everything!
