## Plot summary

Ray is very interested because the movie is about the Mayan culture. Carlos announces the club that he and George invested in is opening tomorrow. Yunjin's mother visits the Garcias' vacation house and is offered to sleep over and thus save the hotel costs.

On the beach Li Linn catches up with the Garcias' activities. When Lorena's car breaks down on the way to the movie set Ray has to give her a lift there. Ray and Lorena find out the production crew is not portraying the Mayans as the Mayans were, the two try to negotiate more tradition but fail in doing so. Yunjin and Li Linn walk by the harbor where Li Linn and Yunjin start arguing.

In Sol's barber salon Sonia is thriving in her job but has trouble switching in the cultures. She is ⁫busted by Li Linn who sees her secretly working there. The adults of the Garcia family mingle in the new club. Yunjin has another quarrel with her mother after which her mother leaves the building. Sonia goes after her and tries to comfort and advice her. Yunjin and Li Linn make up after which Li Linn leaves again. On the movie set it seems Lorena is troubled by the fact that the movie about a tradition is not completely traditional.

## Trivia

* The production handling of Lorena's movie shows how some traditions can be changed drastically to make it suitable in the eyes of production crew or network executives. A famous example of a television version changing a traditional style is for example the Dutch character Black Pete which was supposedly as the name says black of origin but in the nationwide media it's black face was changed to for example a brown face or a face covered in almost no black soot. In the same genre there have been examples of customers almost completely turning away after a company changed the appearance of Black Pete in products, although as far as is known it was never completely proven to be the reason for the reducement in success.
