A stuck-in-a-funk Tina falls for a Spanish boy... or rather, the ''voice'' of a Spanish boy... on a language tape from the 80's. Meanwhile, Gene and Louise set out to dunk Mr. Frond at the school carnival, and Linda drags Bob into her attempts to make the water booth cool.

*OutOfFocus: The language tape actually has ''four'' speakers, all part of one family (Mr. Balthazar, Mrs. Balthazar, Maria Balthazar, and Rodrigo Balthazar), but only Rodrigo gets any significant focus. Justified; Tina specifically fast-forwards through any segment where someone besides Rodrigo speaks.
