Episode 164

Princess Lakshmi and Rajiv, reunited after a brief kidnapping and imposter-ing by Rojav, are now back on track to investigate what happened to her father, who had also been imposter-ed back in the US.  On her parents' estate in India, she urges Rajiv to look like a prince as there are cameras everywhere, and she warns him that at any moment, her parents' staff might jump into a musical number and that Rajiv would have to be the lead.  She tries to teach him some moves, and his insecurity over not being part of "the elite" comes out.  Suddenly, Princess Lakshmi's childhood pet, a duck named Quacky, waddles by.  Amazed that a possibly 35-year-old duck is still alive, she pets him, and Quacky pecks at Rajiv, before waddling away.  They continue into the palace.

Office Manager Gladys warns her lover Jerome that his plot has been found out by her boss, Mr. Sampson.  As she shows Jerome the incriminating documents, Mr. Sampson enters, indicating that he hasn't read the papers yet and asks Gladys to summarize them.  Mr. Sampson leaves, and they agree that the only way to get controlling interest in the business is to kill him.  Jerome's words seem to indicate that he might not be completely willing to share the controlling interest with Gladys, though she agrees to his plan.

Angelica finds Big Momma taking a bath in her newly installed walk-in tub.  They reminisce about the Amish boy who briefly showed up to build a barn and whose babies Big Momma may or may not have sacrificed to get more power.  Big Momma says the barn burned and the Amish guy has not been found.  Angelica asks if she has any new orders, and then, casually, asks about Smitty the plumber.  Angelica's cell phone rings, and it is the Uber Minion, asking about that very plumber!  She covers, and Uber Minion gives her instructions to meet him the next day, in the park, under the big tree.  Big Momma says she would like to see the plumber herself, as the "Mister Bubble" bubbles aren't very bubbly.  Angelica offers to find Smitty, who will be dying to come and help!
