Character History[]
Season One[]
Jess, Señor Cloud salsa is berry good for parties!
After leading a vigorous morning cheer, Glenn asks for volunteers to man a salsa stand that is promoting Cloud 9's "Señor Cloud" line of salsas. He chooses Amy because she is of Latino heritage, but Amy refuses. Glenn then "randomly" picks the only other Latino in the team which is Carmen. Carmen undertakes her duties with enthusiasm and is very successful at enticing the customers to stop and try the samples. However, she is speaking with a cliché Spanish accent that Amy describes as like Speedy Gonzales.
I am really sorry Carmen...
Amy is offended by Carmen's play-acting, and despite a warning from Garrett she interferes with Carmen's successful sales technique. While Carmen is trying to help an elderly woman, Amy tries to persuade Carmen to drop the act, but Carmen stubbornly refuses. Amy is frustrated and grabs a bowl of salsa that Carmen is holding. A tug of war ensues, and as they battle back and forth, globs of salsa drop from the bowl, causing Carmen to slip and crash to the ground, twisting her ankle. Carmen starts to curse without the accent. She is led away to the hospital with help from Glenn and Dina, while an apologetic Amy trails behind. Later, she is back at the store in crutches and glares at Amy who is now selling salsa using cliché Mexican idioms.("Shots and Salsa")
