**Tonio** is a main character on the Netflix series "Freeridge (TV series)".

## History

At dinner, their father holds hands with Lucía, who he says is his friend. This bothers Ines and Gloria, so they stop doing it. Furious, Ines notices that Lucía is wearing their mother's scarf, and she starts texting rude things about her with her sister. Ines and Gloria are being rude as their uncle Tonio heads downstairs and greets everyone. When their father opens the gift they got him, he gets cut by the knife.

At home, Gloria reads a book as her uncle Tonio sits next to her. He asks where Ines and his money are at, but she does not answer. As the phone rings, Tonio says that an unknown number is calling. When he hangs up, he says that he was called by a warranty person. Gloria tells him that they would get him his money, but he tells her not to worry about it.

Eating breakfast, Gloria and Ines fight over pouring their father orange juice. Javier is confused and leaves. Tonio joins them downstairs, saying that they still owe him money. However, Ines and Gloria say that they need a way to tell their father he has cancer.

Gloria asks Tonio if he had told his brother about cancer yet. He says that he would take care of it. Tonio reveals he has a new assistant called Rusty, who Gloria does not like. Tonio tells her that she would be paying Rusty with the money she owes him, which she does not like.

Gloria tells Tonio that she does not like Rusty and does not think that he is the right person to tell her father about his cancer. Ines tells Gloria that she is ruining her chance to date Rusty as Demi walks in, saying that she has a plan to deal with the curse.

Javier and Gloria sit down, as Gloria tries to tell him about his cancer. She has a hard time telling him and goes to the kictchen, where Rusty, Tonio and Ines show her that they have a cake for him which says "congratulations, you have cancer." Gloria says that that is messed up, but Rusty says that Javier is a hero and says he is sorry that she is going through all that. Gloria sits down and thanks Rusty, saying that she is overwhelmed and he should be the one to tell him he has cancer. Javier overhears that and helps himself to some cake. He says that he knows he has cancer since about a month before, but is not worried.

Gloria, Cam, Ines and Demi stare at the message left for Gloria on her window. Demi identifies it as a threat, but later says that they should not give it back until they know what they have. Tonio and Leslie start making out in front of the group, so they leave and they decide they should approach a witch called Cinnamon, who Demi had suggested before.

Rusty knocks the door and says that he would be helping Gloria and Ines go to school per Tonio's instructions, who says he is now stepping up to help them. Gloria does not agree with that, making Demi, Ines and Cam walk with her.

At home, Rusty approaches Gloria, who tells him to go until he shows her that he has a bullet journal as well. Once she sees his journal, she starts smiling. He hands her his invoices, which include gas. She tells Tonio that she would not pay for those bills, but he tells her she would until she tells him about the event she had that night. Rusty offers to drive her, but she declines immediately.

At the event, Gloria, Demi, Cam and Ines look for Cinammon as they run into Tonio, who tells them that it is not an appropriate event for them. Demi sees that Cinammon is livestreaming, so Gloria takes the time to thank Demi for everything. When she asks for the box, however, Demi is not able to give it to her, but Gloria already knew that she did not have the box. Gloria tells Demi to be more responsible, which angers her.

Rusty takes Gloria, Cam, Tonio, and Demi home. Gloria says that the reason she accepted the ride was because she was desperate. Rusty reveals that the reason he is working for Tonio is to help his grandmother.

Ines tells Gloria that she would have someone go back up to her room at the party. As they grab alcohol, Tonio does not allow them to, saying that he would up their tab by 20% if they did. However, when he finds out that they are throwing a party, he tells them that the alcohol is free, and he would be charging people to go to the bathroom.

Tonio tells Gloria to do the laundry as he sees Gloria with Mariluna's scarf. He notices it is expensive. Gloria asks him if he supports revenge, to which he responds that he does.

Javier tells Gloria and Tonio that they would talk later. Gloria blames Tonio for everything, which angers him. She opens the garbage and finds a tag.

Gloria calls her father to the table, as Ines and Tonio join the conversation as well. Ines does not want to leave, but she does. Gloria tells her father that she knows he is lying about his cancer and is spending $5,000 on life insurance. After she insists, her father admits that he has stage three cancer. Ines walks in and Javier, apologizes, as he says that there is nothing they can do.

Rusty picks up from Tonio, who tells him that he cannot quit. Rusty says that things are getting too complicated, but Tonio says that he really needs him.

Tonio calls Gloria, saying that Mariluna is renting a room in his house during school hours. Gloria hangs up on him and they follow Mariluna to a house. Gloria walks towards the house and is met by Mariluna holding a sword to her face.

Ines cries in her room as she packs a bag. She picks up a journal and writes a note, saying that she is her family's curse. When she looks through Tonio's computer, she finds that he had specifically hired an attractive teenage boy who could distract his nieces from their father's cancer.

Ines hands Tonio her laptop, asking Tonio if he is paying him to be Gloria's boyfriend. Tonio tells her not to tell her sister.

Gloria keeps playing games with Mariluna, while at home Ines is annoyed that Rusty kisses Gloria all the time. Tonio does not seem to mind as it is distracting his niece.

Tonio tells Cam, Demi and Ines that he deleted the ad when he saw they had left it on. Ines breaks the news that they would not be having Thanksgiving at home. Demi and Cam says that they would also go to the restaurant, but Gloria invites them all to Mariluna's home. Cam says that they should definitely tell her after dinner.

Demi overhears Gloria mention love, so the latter explains that Rusty had told her he was falling for her. Tonio walks in without a roasted chicken, which angers Gloria.

Rusty says that he would like to say something, standing up. He mentions he met them all because of a job, but they were all much more than that. When he thanks them, calling them priceless, Gloria says that that was an interesting word, asking if her uncle had paid him to flit with her and distract her. Tonio gets up from the table, leaving as Rusty apologizes, telling Gloria that he had stopped taking money when he realized how much he liked her. Gloria tells him that she understands because he probably cannot tell the difference from real love since his mother did not love him.
