In this season, there are major changes at the Diaz house. After missing a Christmas family trip to go to France, Rachel gets an opportunity to attend a fashion-design college there. She leaves for France, causing the Diazes to go through a major readjustment. Meanwhile, Harley is turning fifteen, and so she starts preparing for her big quinceañera. Throughout the season, she also struggles not only with her inventions but also with her new neighbor, Aidan - Ellie's cousin. Aidan turns out to be a nightmare for her. Harley feels betrayed when Ethan starts hanging out with Aidan, leading to a BFTF fight. However, on learning about Aidan's family issues, the Diazes start inviting him over and accepting him. Eventually, Harley starts to develop feelings for Aidan. They start dating but Aidan leaves town; only to come back and surprise Harley during her quinceañera.

Among other major changes, Georgie finally gets cut out of the basketball team; but with Harley's push, she joins the dance squad. She also breaks up with her boyfriend, Wyatt. Ethan starts putting more effort into his projects and is able to finally finish a zombie movie which gives him a big shot at becoming a real director.
