[panting]
-Luz, what's wrong? Are you okay? -I just had a nightmare.
It was so horrible.
-[gentle music playing] -Do you think you need someone to talk to?
Or we don't have to talk. I'm good at silent conversations.
Not too much to talk about.
Sky Vibes was a disaster last night.
So I think…
I remember someone I knew
telling me that
every single fall is an opportunity to learn.
-Maybe, yeah. -Yeah?
Come here.
[horn blowing]
-[applauding] -[woman] Whoo!
Good morning. On behalf of the staff of Cielo Grande,
I want to say that we are very happy and grateful
for your interest and participation in the Cielo Grande Summer Crush.
Bravo!
This season we have two possible locations we will have the competition.
One, in the Rushing River, the other in the North Channel.
But today, we are not going to announce which of the two it will be.
We are going to do that the night before the competition.
For now… you will have to train and analyze both rivers.
I'll leave you to prepare your strategies.
-[Charlie] Bravo! Thanks, Augusto. -[cheering]
They're pretty even with us. Nobody knows the rivers.
And we have Luz, who's a local, and gives us a real advantage.
-Let's prep right now. Come on, let's go. -Let's do it.
[Natasha] Hey! And where are you going so quickly?
You quitting already?
[chuckles]
[Augusto] Do we know what caused the blackout?
A peel cable above the light-up sign outside.
Not sure if it was damp or something like that…
[clicking tongue] …but I found a few more burnt-out bulbs.
Yeah, but, luckily, it wasn't serious, even though we had to cancel.
It was my fault.
I shouldn't have rushed the opening so much.
[Augusto] At least we still have the competition.
We really need a miracle.
-Wait. No! -Yeah, look at this.
-What? -What's going on?
The video of the twins at Sky Vibes has over a million views and counting.
-No! -[Nati] Yes!
That's the closest thing to a miracle I've ever seen.
-Listen to this. -[Charlie] Incredible.
"Exceptional! Not even the blackout can stop you."
"Best show. More tweets for Sky Vibes."
"Give us more videos of Sky Vibes." And it goes on and on and on and on.
So…
Hey, what is this?
The twins posted some old photo of my mom.
-[Luz] That's weird. -What?
[Charlie] Your mom? Huh?
-But why? -I don't know.
[Charlie] Huh.
So, can you tell me where you got this photo from?
[Ian] Mm.
Ian, no lies about this. It was in your jacket.
Ian.
[sighs]
-Steffi's gonna be so mad. -Steffi?
Hey, guys.
Hey, Luz. Our new video has 200,000 likes.
-Seriously, the blackout was a victory. -Yes, yes, yes.
I couldn't believe what I was watching. You two are geniuses.
[both chuckle]
Changing the subject, why did you guys upload this photo?
Ah! Ian. He just wanted to know who that girl was.
-Do you know her? -Yeah, it's my mom.
Ian, hey, why did you ask the twins to post this old photo of my mom?
-Um… -[suspenseful music playing]
-She's your mother? -It's my mom.
-Did you ask the twins to post that photo? -Um, yeah, it's just…
-Your mom's the one in the photo? -Yeah, her name is Cynthia.
And is she here?
No, no. No, she hasn't come to Cielo Grande in years.
This photo was taken a long time ago.
[music stops]
There's the south wind. The Rushing River is the best option.
All right. Up to you.
You're the one who knows this place inside out.
[Luz chuckles]
["Emergency Love" playing softly]
-Wanna go to dinner? -Together?
-You mean like a date? -[Tony] Yeah.
That cool? [chuckles]
[chuckles softly]
And so, it's…
Is that a yes?
Yes.
[menacing music playing]
I wonder where they're planning to go train first.
Irene.
Isn't that Steffi?
[screaming]
-[women whoop] -[Luz] What's wrong with you?
-So unprofessional! -[Steffi] Luz!
That's exactly what she wants. We just make things worse.
I don't want to wake up the monster inside her.
Trust me. You don't want to see that.
They're headed toward the North Channel. There's no wind.
We should go to the Rushing River like we decided.
The further from Natasha, the better.
[motivational music playing]
[music stops]
Think we'll have these same conditions during the competition?
Yeah, it's probable.
This river gets spiky when there's a south wind like right now,
and that's really not rare.
On the other hand, the Northern Channel is sheltered and tends to be a lot calmer.
Practicing for bad conditions like this
and adjusting your technique on this kind of water
will prepare you and give us a huge advantage in the competition.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, I agree.
Luz's strategy is a winner.
[Steffi] Well, I'm getting ready, then.
Excuse me.
[Irene] Here, look.
You have room for one more trick before the buoy.
If instead of doing an invert, you do a rotation,
you'll have a definite advantage over Steffi.
Okay, so where?
-Yeah. -[Irene] Here.
[Natasha] Mm, okay.
[clears throat]
Hmm.
Hey, Natasha, Fer, the shy guy over here has a question for you.
Mm-hmm?
Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tonight?
Hmm.
And will your brother be joining us? He seems very nice.
-No, I… Have dinner yourselves. -Juan, that's correct?
That's me.
Listen. If you don't both come, there is no dinner.
Understand?
[Juan sighs]
We should record a pass of yours
and then see what we need to adjust. Don't you think?
Hey there, Steffi. I wanted to invite you to dinner tonight.
-And the invite is two times two. -Two times two?
Yes, two times two equals four.
So, two influencers and two wakeboarders.
-It might even be-- -Don't say dinner with Natasha.
-You must be joking. -No? But I thought you guys were friends.
-[Tony] Uh-uh. -Natasha is a bad, bad, bad, bad person.
Really? This whole time she's been nothing but sweet to us.
Sure. She seems sweet at times,
but she's actually just a total monster. Look.
[chuckles]
Natasha's kissing a guy. What's wrong with that?
That guy was my boyfriend back then.
And then she decided to post that photo everywhere to humiliate me even more.
What type of guy would do that to you? Seriously. Unacceptable.
Thank you, Juan. You really are such a great friend to me,
but please never ask me to sit at the same table and eat with Natasha.
Got it.
I'll see you.
I think you've got that guy hypnotized.
It's… It's amazing. Look.
Look, it's incredible.
Luz, did you see this?
Since this morning, the video of the twins has doubled the number of views.
No! If someone told me the blackout was just a bad dream, I'd believe it.
I have to say that, at first, I had doubts about this arrangement with the twins.
-But it was actually a great idea. -Yeah.
Yeah, nobody could've imagined something like this.
It was a black swan.
Black swan? Wait, what? Because of the blackout?
-Blackout, black swan? -No! No, no, Charlie.
It's a theory about surprising things that happen that can't be predicted.
-Like yesterday. -Hmm.
But you have to admit that with no Luz,
we would not have Sky Vibes and so no black swan. Right, guys?
-No "Luz"? -Ah, that's true.
Hey, guys, maybe… maybe we should all create a new channel for Sky Vibes.
Yes! Wait.
First step, "Save Cielo."
NEW GROUP
Here we go.
-Yeah. Come on. -Yeah! Yes. Great job.
-Genius, yes! -Whoo!
-[Luz] Charlie! -[Augusto] "Save Cielo"?
Yeah. Luz had the idea, and we're already planning everything.
Ah, Luz and her ideas, of course.
We're going to organize a show to relaunch Sky Vibes, "Save Cielo."
-We'll transmit it all through streaming. -Streaming?
Yeah, I can take care of all that.
The fans are asking us for more videos. We'll create a channel for Sky Vibes.
And we're also going to create a sponsorship page so we can raise funds.
Twins, welcome to the group.
We're all counting on you to save Cielo. So you in?
-And when are you going to do the show? -The night after the competition.
Ah, you do have everything planned out. Just remember that you can't spend--
-Not a single peso. -That's right.
We already know that too.
Great, idea, Luz, genius. You can count on us.
Let's go.
Perfect. I'll tell them all now.
-Bravo! -[Julián] It's gonna be all good, yeah!
Try to get some rest. We're gonna start in the stream tomorrow.
And also, we're gonna need to make time
to explore and try out the Northern Channel. [chuckles]
Oh, it's gonna be a rough day. I'll see you later.
Steffi, I was looking for you. We really have to talk.
No, I can't talk right now. Let's talk later.
Hey, listen. I just escaped from Dad. Not much time to fill you in.
-I have both good and bad news. -What?
I know who the girl is in the photo.
Turns out she's Luz's mom.
Wait. She's Luz's mom? Are you really sure?
Yeah, yeah. Her name is Cynthia. I heard it directly from Luz.
-And is that supposed to be the bad news? -No, that's the good one.
The bad news is… Dad took the photo, and he knows it belongs to you.
Huh? No, he can't know that, Ian. We'll talk later.
Hey! Don't you forget about my chocolates, okay?
[sighs]
[Charlie] Well, rust and moisture create false contacts.
What happens is that when moisture accumulates
and the cables are not properly adjusted, and they clearly weren't…
-Mm-hmm. -…it generates sparks between them.
-And boom! Short circuit. -Ah! But, uh…
-No. -Sorry.
Hey, Nati, can you help me with the, uh, the tape?
I need the insulating tape, and I think it's in the toolbox.
I take this out here, and I put in a new one.
-Is this it? -Yes. Perfect.
With this here, everything will be fixed.
Perfect. Well, maybe not totally perfect.
But it is fixed, and the power won't be cut again.
Uh… Nati.
Mm-hmm?
So I…
Do you know you're the most beautiful girl in all of Cielo Grande?
And you're the most beautiful girl in the whole city,
and in the whole country, and in the whole continent.
-And I would love to-- -Charlie.
Yeah?
I have a crush on a girl.
[softly] Ah, okay.
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[tense music playing]
"Williams, Aguilar, and Giordano."
[clears throat]
[dial tone]
[altering voice] Oh, hi, hey.
Tomorrow I have a class with an instructor whose name I think is Luz.
I can't remember her last name. Could you give that to me?
Thank you. And bye now.
[music continues]
CYNTHIA AGUILAR
I want to know what happened between my dad and you.
[music fades]
What do you guys think of this video for the background of some of the songs?
-That's beautiful. -[Luz] That's beautiful.
Really great.
I love this, Charlie.
You did such a great job with the channel for Sky Vibes.
[Charlie] Thanks. Some design is missing.
I'll put together a couple of banners to tune it up a little.
I also wanna try something. I'll send it to you later.
And we'll have to put together a sponsorship page.
The idea is that all the people watching can connect to "Save Cielo."
Yeah, and we have to design it and embed the video right on the page.
-We have to do that before we open. -Okay.
And shouldn't we have a couple more songs for the show?
Yes.
We have one under construction.
-Yeah? -Let's hear it.
Let's go.
[in Spanish] ♪ Day by day ♪
♪ I look for your gaze in mine ♪
♪ Yesterday I lost it♪
♪ And I felt you a thousand steps away ♪
♪ You are by my side ♪
♪ But after a while you leave ♪
-[in English] What do you guys think? -That was sweet.
What do you think if, instead of "yesterday I lost it,"
we go with "yesterday I saw it"?
Because "I lost it" is so dramatic, and "I saw it" is more genuine.
Yeah, good idea, huh?
Okay. I'll try it now.
[in Spanish] ♪ Yesterday I saw it ♪
♪ And I felt you a thousand steps away ♪
[in English] Yes.
-I like it. And you guys? Yes? -[Julián] Yeah, I love it.
Um, good. So the chorus would be something like this.
[in Spanish] ♪ I find myself A thousand steps away ♪
♪ I can't help it ♪
♪ It must be fear I go back to zero ♪
♪ And I walk away ♪
♪ Trying ♪
[in English] I feel it needs more.
-We could add a little more to it, huh? -Yeah.
The lyrics and the melody are already so beautiful, Nati.
All I can think of is adding something to the music.
Let's see. Pass me the guitar.
-So, what you're playing is C and F. -[Nati] Yeah.
But look, instead of doing C, you could do C seventh,
and it adds a little color to it.
-So it goes like this. -[strumming guitar]
[in Spanish] ♪ Day by day ♪
♪ I look for your gaze in mine ♪
♪ Yesterday I saw it ♪
♪ And I felt you a thousand steps away ♪
♪ You are by my side ♪

[in English] Yes. Amazing, Juli. Those chords sound so much better.
Yeah. Working on these songs
with all of us together is so much more fun.
[chuckles] Let's go.
One more and we'll have a complete show. What do you wanna do for the next one?
[all cheer, laugh]
[sensual music playing]
[music fades]
Well, we have a toasted eggplant
with pomegranate and pistachio for Natasha.
Thank you.
And I have some pita bread and hummus. Who ordered those?
Juan and I are gonna share as always.
Well, obviously, if Natasha wants, we'll give her a little bit.
[giggling]
[sighs]
You're the best for agreeing to meet me here.
Luz and Tony already made plans, and I really hate eating by myself.
Oh, okay, good to know that I'm your plan B.
No, not at all.
In fact, I love having dinner with you here. You're my plan A.
Alternative. [laughs]
Hey, so, do you know Cynthia, Luz's mother?
I found out that she competed here.
Yeah, sure, I know her, but I never saw her compete.
When Luz was born, her father left them, and she had to raise her alone.
So she had to stop training, you know?
Oof, that must've been awful for both of them.
-And what about her dad? Know anything? -No.
No, just that he never showed up.
I think maybe he's a wakeboarder from another country.
But Luz doesn't like to talk about him much.
She says that he never wanted her.
What are you thinking?
-No, no, nothing. Don't want to bore you. -You could never bore me.
Gotta use the bathroom. Excuse me, guys.
Do you know what?
I think that you, Fer, have much more personality than Juan.
Not sure why you always let your brother take the initiative.
I don't know what you mean. I take initiative too.
[groans]
Let's go look at the stars, shall we? The sky is beautiful.
[Natasha] Hmm?
But we should wait for my brother, right?
And you call that having initiative, Fer?
Did you see the stars tonight?
Incredible, isn't it?
Yeah. [chuckles]
Looks like Steffi and Julián are getting along, right?
Kinda like us, you know?
I never knew your mom was a wakeboarder.
[inhales] Sounds like there are a lot of things you don't know about me.
[chuckles]
Bro, hey, where are you? I'm here at the table.
-Oh, hey, what's up? -What's up?
Man, I think Natasha is manipulating Fer.
But he doesn't realize it. It's like he doesn't want to see it.
A second ago, the three of us were here,
and suddenly he disappears with no warning.
Well, look, uh…
If he's really in love, he won't listen to you.
Doesn't matter what you tell him.
My advice is
don't try to split them up
because you'll just end up in a huge fight with your brother.
Yeah, I know, but I gotta do something.
Let me ask you one thing since you seem to be the expert on love.
What do you think it means for a guy when a girl tells you,
"What a good friend you are," after you say something nice to her.
Hmm…
Let's see,
about 1.5% chance of romance,
98.5% chance friend zone.
Well, then, for me, that 1.5% gives me a little hope.
[Nati laughs]
Take my advice. I understand these things.
If she really told you like that,
I'm almost 100% sure that there is a nonexistent real possibility.
Well, maybe 98.5% sure.
Oh, here they come. We should go. We can all talk later.
The stars outside are awesome tonight.
Anyone want dessert?
Impressive that the only one who managed to get out of the friend zone was Fer.
Yeah.
And I just entered.
Huh? No, impossible.
There is no way anybody could ever friend-zone you, Nati.
[gentle music playing]
Welcome to the club.
[guitar tuning]
[guitar strumming]
[gasps] I have a great idea for what to write about.
About the friend zone!
-Still thinking about it, huh? -[Charlie] Seriously. Listen.
♪ Friend, friend, friend zone ♪
[in Spanish] ♪ You don't want to go in You want to go out ♪
♪ I didn't see you arrive I didn't see you leave ♪
[in English] Friend zone, friend zone
-[Steffi] Yeah! -Well done!
[all laughing]
[Nati] Very good!
-What do you guys think? -[Juan] I don't know, bro.
I think you might wanna change the lyrics, just a bit.
It's very literal. But maybe we could use
some of what I wrote while maintaining the same theme.
Let's see.
"I feel the only option."
"I think there is no love here."
"I suffer. I can't help it."
"I cry. I resign myself to accept."
Wow. It's genius how you come up with those powerful lyrics.
-You should write songs for us sometime. -[laughs] Thank you.
Well, then, we can start writing it now. With Luz.
Yeah.
Really, I feel great after you helped me. There's only one thing I need.
Are you doing okay? How's it all going? With Nati.
Oof, I'm really in the depths of the friend zone.
-Yeah? Are you sure? -Yeah, I'm sure enough.
Ah, Julián says that I should do a special video
about the friend zone for your channel. Ridiculous, right?
I like it. It's an awesome idea for us. A whole video about the friend zone?
-That'd be fire. -You're serious?
A song and a video both about the friend zone?
This would definitely affect my image.
I'm gonna have to think about this one really hard.
And done.
Let's do it.
[laughing]
-[Natasha] Look. -[Matrix squeals, laughs]
Well, this was a great night, right?
Of course, you were with me. But really, thank you for everything.
Have a good night, my favorite twin, and sweet dreams.
Bye, Natasha. [chuckles]
[Ron] Steffi.
Dad, what are you doing here? We had an agreement.
Our agreement is over.
What are you doing with this photo?
[tense music playing]
[Tony] I keep thinking
about how the Rushing River
has a much greater swell than you find in the Northern Channel.
Well, yeah.
That's because the wider rivers tend to be a lot choppier
because they're not sheltered by the wind like the channels are.
And also, when there's a south wind, the Rushing River hits full blast.
Look, here, if this is the south, the current is going this way.
Understand?
Yeah.
I do understand now.
[Tony chuckles]
And you already knew all this, didn't you?
Maybe.
-But I really… -[chuckles softly]
I really like listening to you.
["Emergency Love" playing softly]
[tense music playing]
[Steffi] Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend at Cielo?
-And that that girlfriend is Luz's mom. -I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, Dad. Come on. Stop lying to me. I found photos you took with her.
And I have a copy of what you wrote in the guest book.
[opens case]
"The best trophy isn't always the one you take with you,
because along with the river, this amazing place,
and the magical stars,
I found love."
"I hope to be back soon. Ron Navarro Lavalle. Guadalajara, Mexico."
So this is why you came to Cielo Grande? This whole competition is just an excuse.
Don't talk to me about excuses.
You keep lying to me. And I know you lied to me about mom too.
What other secrets are you hiding in Cielo Grande, Dad, huh?
