But the desperate mother is not one to take this sitting down and resorts to inducing a state that causes Luca's stats to show alarming results. This was so she could do the surgery herself as she was a cardiothoracic surgeon back in her hometown. She is met with resistance at first but after threatening the staff with Arman's name she is allowed to proceed. Although a bit rusty, the mother successfully operates on her son and does the transplant successfully, thus saving his life. Being praised by the donor for being 'so gangsta', she finally achieves what she has wanted for her ailing kid, only breaking down with relief later on.

'The Cleaning Lady' returns Monday at 9 pm ET on the FOX channel.
