Overview

An unfamiliar smell on Gustavo's shirt causes his wife, Lupe to grow suspicious. Then when he arrives home late that night for dinner, her fears are all but confirmed: he is a lying rat! Lupe tells God that night that it would be easier if Gustavo really were a rat... and the next morning she wakes up to a big surprise: Gustavo is gone and there is a rat in his place.
