Episode Summary
EDIT
Since Marias disappearance, the caf needs another waitress, but Ren and Edith has somewhat different ideas about who should fill the position, but finally Michelle from the Rsistance brings tiny Mimi from another cell, to be Rens bodyguard.
Ren finds out just how fanatical Mimi is when she tries to poison Herr Flick in the backroom of the caf, which Ren manages to stop.
In the meantime, General von Klinkerhoffen gives the Colonel a new assistant, Italian liaison Bertorelli, who fortunately knows nothing about the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies or about the afairs with the waitresses, but as soon as Bertorelli enters Caf Ren, he sees the Colonel with wet celery behind his ears. Seeing his chance for amore, he goes upstairs with Mimi only to be thrown out again.moreless
