"Honey?" Mal said as she sat on the bed. She was looking at Carlos as he changed into some more comfortable clothes. "Hm?" He mumbled. "Have you seen my dad today? I wanted to ask him something, but he was nowhere to be found." She tells him.
Carlos glanced at her and shook his head. "No, I haven't seen him. Have you asked your mother about him?" He asked her. She nodded.
"Yeah, I did. I still don't know why she would know where he is, she always wants to get as far away from him as possible." Mal said.
"Maybe they're making a new baby you." Carlos joked. "But she didn't know where he was either." She added. Carlos climbs into bed with her.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it. You know what he's like, he disappears and then shows up again. He's probably hanging out in his caves or something like that." He said and kissed her temple. Mal smiled at him. "You're probably right." She smiled at him and pecked his lips. Carlos rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes.
"Can I tell you something?" Mal asked him. Carlos sat up straight again. "Yeah, what's up?" He asked her. Mal smiled at him and climbed onto him and sat on his lap.
"I like where this is going." He smirked at her. Mal smiled. "You're going to like this even better, honey." She tells him. Carlos brushed some hair out of her face.
"What is it? Tell me." He begged her. Mal giggled and leaned down to his ear. "I'm pregnant." She whispered to him. Carlos's eyes widened. "Y-you're what?" He stuttered. Mal smiled at him. "I'm pregnant. Melanie is going to be a big sister." She tells him. Carlos was in shock. This was not going according to plan. That wasn't supposed to happen. "You don't seem as happy as I expected you to be." She said a little bit disappointed. Carlos shook his head. "No no, I'm just very surprised. H-how did this happen again?" He asked her. Mal giggled. "I'm sure I don't have to explain that. But aren't you happy? You're going to be a daddy again!" She exclaimed. Carlos put up a fake smile and hugged her. "Very happy." He tells her.

Meanwhile, Hades slammed on the bars of his cell door. "You little shits! Let me out!" He yelled at the guards. They didn't reply. Hades slammed his hands against the bars again letting out a groan. "They won't release you." Someone behind him said.
He kept his eyes focused on the guards on the other side of the room. "Only he can get you out of here. Which he won't do, because he's the one who put us here." She spoke again.
Hades turned around. "I don't see you doing anything else but sitting there in the shadows." He snapped at her. "What do you want me to do?
There is nothing we can do. He won't get us out." Uma tells him. Hades steps closer to her. "Thanks for the subtitles. Can you please get off your ass and help me think of a way on how to get out of here?" He asked her. "I've already tried everything when I came here. We'll just have to wait until he'll use us for his plan." Uma informs the god of the underworld.
"And you know what that plan is?" Hades asks her.
Uma shrugs. "Partly. Audrey spelled him, they both want revenge on Mal, and we're locked in here. That's all I know." She tells him. "And how do you know about his plan?" He asks her. "De Vil offered me a dead-" "And you took it?" Hades cut her off.
Uma glared at him. "I didn't say that. I was just hearing him out. I wanted to know what his plan was. I even figured out Audrey was hiding in the castle for a couple of days. She was using Mel's tunnels." Uma tells him. "I'm surprised she didn't get caught by that little pup.
But that would explain why he was sneaking off all the time. I am so stupid for not noticing it earlier." Hades said quietly. "He tricked all of us.
But he has Mal and Audrey wrapped around his finger. Anything they say can later be used as a weapon against themselves or the Isle." Uma explained.
Hades sighed and rubbed his chin. "Isn't there anything we can do to break the spell he's under? Not even Mal kissing him?" He asked her. "This spell was designed to only be broken by Audrey's scepter. I have been trying to work on my magic with my mother so-"
"Hold on. Your mother?" he cut her off again, "She only knows dark magic, Uma, you know that." He added. "If that's the way to save my friend then so be it." She tells him. She leans back against the wall. "It doesn't matter anyway. All we can do is sit here and wait." She said. Hades groaned and walked back to the cell door and started slamming on the bars. "Let us out!!" He yelled
