Montoya apologizes for calling in the crew into the briefing room at night (presumably after the Paco-Lucas race) but he has to update them on Agent Escobar and the police corruption investigation. Silvia talks about planted / faked evidence. while DL talks about 375 million euros stolen. Curtis tries to convert it to pesetas.

Silvia is still wearing the same outfit - and WHY is she holding her coat? Don't they have cloak closets at this comisaria? Is she hiding her PepsiU belt buckle?

Silvia comes into Cachis with Ruth, who is asking her when she's going to tell Montoya that he's going to be a baby-daddy.

Silvia basically tells her to shut up and that if she finds out that Montoya has been informed, she'll know where it came from. And then she asks Ruth if she's otherwise okay.

Lola has the brilliant idea to form the Los Cachis girl band to perform at Rita's wedding. When Sara and Silvia look around to see who the members are, Lola excitedly informs them that they are.

Rita comes in and Lola informs her that Los Cachis is holding its debut performance at her wedding. Then they call Ruth to join them. Aitor volunteers to play the keyboard.

They all go upstairs to Lola's place to practice. They sound really bad. Unlike clueless American Idol wannabes, however, they are at least aware of how bad they are.

They all sit down to discuss strategy: who should be the soloist, who has singing experience, etc. Aitor kinda wants Sara to be the soloist.

Then Silvia bursts out crying. Then starts laughing and says that she is so happy. Everyone blames her hormones and waits it out until she's calmed down.

They resume singing. If you look closely, Silvia has her head down: you can tell that Marian was trying so hard to contain her giggles. OUTTAKE moment!

Lola is now the soloist with Ruth and Silvia as her backup singers. They sound a teeny tiny bit better, but not much. Sara sits this one out because she's being bratty and mopey in the kitchen.

They take a break. Lola thinks they sound better but Silvia and Ruth both agree that they are still bad. Lola goes to talk some sense into her brat, and tells her that she better get in there because her aunt is in danger of moving in on Aitor. (Silvia is in the living room by the keyboard and Aitor is showing her something.)

They start singing again, still trying to find the right key, but they're all tired and are now plopped on the couch. At one point, when it's supposed to be an instrumental solo, Silvia keeps singing offkey. Then cries when she was told.

Just when they are ready to call it a day, bi-polar Silvia jumps up and says they should keep on practicing until they get it right. They do sound better afterwards. You can download the song here. One of the backup singers on the track was really the actress who played Ruth, and she's got a really nice voice.

Back at the comisaria, Silvia, Montoya, DL, Paco and Mariano are watching a video of a masked man with distorted voice talking about corruption in the comisaria. They reach the conclusion that the person in the video is one of them. But Silvia doesn't understand why someone would go through all the trouble when they know that Quique is not guilty. She then says that she can send the audio to Central and they have a forensic tool to filter out the noise and adjust the soundwaves to remove any distortion. If it's an inside job, they'll find out who it is in 4 to 5 hours. Paco & Mariano apprehensively glance at each other.

Back story: Quique and Curtis are planning a bachelor's party for Pove and Mariano sees a picture Quique in a private plane. He assumes that he is part of the Uriarte corruption racket because where else would he get money? So he and Paco decided to shoot a video of him in disguise to rat out Quique.
