Samuel worries that he’s losing the last years of his life in quarantine. He panics about forgetting ideas and about missing riding his bike and giving lectures. Frank Angileri calls Leticia and explains to her and Samuel that Leticia may be Anita’s cousin. Although Leticia doesn’t remember any family in El Salvador, Samuel sees his own experience as a child in Anita’s situation, and they agree to foster Anita while Selena and Frank continue to search for Marisol. Leticia cleans and organizes the house, buying food and toys for Anita, while Samuel prepares to enroll Anita in a school for blind children. When Anita arrives, she bonds with Samuel over music, but she still wets the bed. Leticia remedies this by moving a larger bed into her own bedroom and then bringing Anita to sleep with her. Samuel relates to Anita’s bedwetting, as he went through a similar issue in England. Samuel recalls going to the Holocaust Museum in 1995, as well as visiting locations from his childhood in Austria and the concentration camps where his family members were taken; each of these visits enhanced his understanding of himself and his family’s experiences.
