 At the Montoya residence, Del shuts the door with a look of pure spite at her older sister. Abuela snaps her fingers, and Josh follows the sisters to the dining room. They settle in as Abuela serves dinner: slow-cooked Puerto Rican pulled pork with corn tortillas, //pico de gallo//, chopped cilantro, and avocado. Josh compliments the food enthusiastically, which helps soften Abuela’s stance towards him slightly. She’s also enjoying Del’s infatuation, but Josh is kind without encouraging towards Del. He asks about the history of the Montoya Botanica, unaware he’s breached the unspoken cardinal rule of “Don’t talk shop at the dinner table.” The sisters rear back slightly, but Abuela starts discussing the shop’s history.
-Abuela tells Josh about how her father – Anita’s great-grandfather – [[wod:characters:santiago|Santiago Montoya]] opened the store in 1912 and ran in until his sudden death in 1919. She makes a poetic reference to his death on ‘the day the angels died’ and Josh immediately recalls Veltis’s claim that no angel remained on Earth since 1919 prior to their encounter with the [[wod:characters:victor|cat-angel]]. He wonders if Santiago Montoya was an angel himself, ((No.)) while Anita notes his reaction and decides to ask him about it later. Del misses the reaction; she’s still too stunned that Abuela is breaking her own rule, and Abuela herself is lost in her memories. She tells about how her mother took over the store, how Abuela herself grew up in it and then took it over, and how it eventually passed to Anita’s hands.

 Abuela never outright says it, but Josh cottons on to how she still considers the botanica hers, and how the massive changes and upgrades he introduced has made ‘her’ store unrecognizable. He registers how integral the botanica is to this family’s identity in the community, so he says carefully, “My previous job was at a big box store. People came in and bought things they wanted for their entertainment, and then they went home with them. There was no community. Your store is about building the community, and I’m proud to have even a tiny part of it.” It is not until he finishes speaking that he realizes he just said everything in perfectly accented Puerto Rican Spanish, and Anita curses and mutters, “I’ll have to change the sign.” Josh blushes as Della gapes at his language skills.
