His editor calls Alfredo in to discuss the problem but Alfredo gets into a heated argument and ends up getting fired. Alfredo wanders around the city boozily lamenting his fate. When the alcohol wears off, Alfredo decides he wants his wife back and he comes up with a plan to achieve it. He will call up Pablo's old girlfriends and find some skeletons in the man's closet.
