Later, Ramón feels the need to go to the bathroom and leaves the stand in Chavo's care, but he ends up eating all the churros, which makes Ramón angry and kicks him out. At the end, Doña Florinda appears and Ramón tries to take the blame, saying that he was the one who ate all the churros, but Florinda reveals that Chavo had already told her the truth and praises Ramón's attitude in wanting to defend Chavo by taking the blame.
