"limonada" is the second episode of the third season of the American dark comedy crime drama television series Barry.
The series follows Barry Berkman, a hitman from Cleveland who travels to Los Angeles to kill someone but finds himself joining an acting class taught by Gene Cousineau, where he meets aspiring actress Sally Reed and begins to question his path in life as he deals with his criminal associates such as Monroe Fuches and NoHo Hank.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.294 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Barry (Bill Hader) forces Gene (Henry Winkler) to eat and stay in the trunk of his car.
Barry visits Sally (Sarah Goldberg) in the writers' room for her new series Joplin, hoping that she could get Gene a role and give him a purpose in life.
Meanwhile, as Cristobal (Michael Irby) is about to buy lemonade from two neighborhood kids, his father-in-law, crime lord Fernando (Miguel Sandoval), arrives and takes him to an Airbnb.
Fernando wants Cristobal to help kill the Chechens, believing they were responsible for the monastery shooting, and then go home to his wife and kids.
To complicate matters, because of another series with a similar premise launching soon, the network moves up Joplin's premiere and wants Sally to immediately start doing press.
He calls Sally to tell her the news; she apologizes for being dismissive earlier, but Barry brushes it off and doesn't acknowledge his outburst.
