A NETFLIX SERIES
What you're saying doesn't make sense.
Tell me what really happened.
You're right.
Me and your mother, Lyn,
we met at the hotel.
We were both competing in Summer Crush, and we fell in love.
Well, that doesn't explain all the mystery.
There's more to the story.
Grandma and Grandpa said Lyn didn't come from a good family,
so they didn't accept her.
And to make things worse,
your mother got pregnant with you.
We didn't tell anyone for a couple of months,
and you would have thought that was some huge grand offense.
We went to live on our own, no help from anyone.
Things got complicated.
And what about Mom's family?
Your mother didn't really want to get her family involved.
So that's really how I was born?
Yes.
We just weren't prepared.
Actually, we didn't even go to the hospital,
which was a grave mistake.
Your mom got sick,
and a few months later, died.
Grandma and Grandpa raised you.
They invented their own story about who your mother was.
And something about me needing to finish college
so they could keep up appearances
to look like the family they thought we should be.
But when they told me that story,
I was never convinced.
When your grandparents died,
I didn't know how to tell you the truth.
I guess I was too much of a coward to come clean with you.
I was scared you would hate me.
Look at me.
How could I ever hate you?
I've never felt as close to you as I do in this moment.
I really wish you would have told me a lot sooner.
Wouldn't that have made you feel better?
And Cynthia?
-How does Cynthia play into all this? -Cynthia?
Yeah, Cynthia, mother of Luz?
Honestly, there were
so many people on that trip.
I don't remember.
I love that I finally got to talk to you.
I love it too, Daddy.
Hey, guys! Juan Monzo here with a Sky Vibes exclusive.
And today, we're gonna learn about the friend zone,
according to Charlie Santos.
-Go on, Charlie, tell the people. -Uh, right now?
What do you think? The friend zone?
-I don't wanna be recorded. -Go ahead, Charlie.
Okay, uh, guys, gals, and pals,
the friend zone is where you go
when your love is like the sun at night, just not there.
You're in love, and you think that special person is your better half
but really, they only like you as a friend.
Or something.
Because really, they're someone else's better half.
All right, my dudes, I want to confess that the three of us here
have all entered, yeah, you guessed it, the dreaded friend zone.
So, Charlie, tell us. What are the stages of being friend-zoned?
Well, first, you go through denial.
You deny the possibility that person just isn't in love with you.
Then the next is anger,
which comes when you realize this just isn't the case.
Then comes negotiation,
the depression,
and finally, you arrive at acceptance,
which is honestly my favorite.
Looking for something?
Oh, no, nothing really.
What are you doing in here so late?
Oh, Luz, I'm really tired.
And it's a long story. I'll just tell you another time.
Oh, I have all the time in the world.
You won't believe me.
Why not? You can trust me.
I'm very good at keeping secrets. Why don't you try me?
Apparently, my dad, he kept a secret here at Cielo Grande.
What secret?
I snuck in earlier to check the hotel records.
Okay. So what is it that you're looking for now?
I borrowed this old guest book.
It was worth it 'cause look what I found.
"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."
Wow.
That's real love right there.
Yeah.
And a secret. But I guess I solved it.
My dad told me he met my mom here. They were in the competition together.
Why would he hide this from you?
It's amazing that your parents met here.
In reality, it was my grandparents who lied to me.
They really didn't want me to find out the truth about what happened.
When my mom found out she was pregnant with me,
she was too afraid to tell their families. You know, those were different times.
Anyway, I just talked with my dad.
And it was difficult, but I feel a lot better now.
-Well, I'm glad you cleared everything up. -Yeah, so am I, finally.
It was so draining for me to investigate all of this.
Oh yeah, and with the competition, I bet your brain must be fried.
-Time to focus on what's next. -Thank you, Luz.
And on this adventure, I also happened to make a friend.
Yes, you did.
And I made a friend as well.
You know, the best trophy isn't always the one you take with you.
Your dad was right after all.
You can count on your friend Luz for anything.
And you can count on me.
Let's go!
I am looking at the official page of Sky Vibes.
-That's so cool. -Good morning!
-Hey there. -Good morning.
-Wow! Is that the banner for the channel? -Yeah, really, guys, it's awesome.
-Really pro. -Thank you.
We'll have Matrix commission you for ours.
Next is the account page and uploading content.
We could record rehearsals and upload them.
-Like backstage, you know? -A very good idea.
Yes, we have to do something fun, that grabs attention, like a video.
Yeah, but if you do a video, it has to be romantic.
Those bring in views.
Well, we already have the actors. Luz and Tony look pretty romantic to me.
-Ooh… -Ooh…
No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let's look for different actors.
What if… What if we do a video about the friend zone?
-Good idea. -Ah…
Ah, but of course, my talent agent wouldn't let me be in the video.
I can't ruin my image.
What talent agent? Can't ruin your image.
-Good morning, princess. -Oh, no.
It's never princess. Natasha. And I'd appreciate you not bothering me.
I've got a couple of really important training days ahead of me.
And Cynthia? How does Cynthia play into all this?
-Cynthia? -Yeah, Cynthia, mother of Luz?
I don't remember her.
Why would he hide this from you? It's amazing that your parents met here.
I asked your dad about his trip to Cielo Grande when he was younger and,
he was kind of weird.
Me and your mother, Lyn, we met at the hotel.
We were both competing in Summer Crush, and we fell in love.
She competed.
Nothing on Lyn Ordóñez.
Hey, Steffi, I'm waiting for you. Are you ready?
Yeah, I'm good to go. Be there in a second.
Do your more relaxed routine. The drone will be following you.
What a gorgeous day, everyone. I'm here about to train
in the Northern Channel and I'm so close to once again beating Steffi Navarro.
And I think she must be hiding from us.
Did the princess oversleep, hmm? Or is she afraid of losing to me?
What a shame we're training with such an unfair advantage. Mm.
I'm sorry for being late.
What would you say to us training in the rapids?
That sounds great.
I imagine after that relaxing dinner with Julián
you've recovered some of your energy?
I could say just the same for you with Luz.
-Where is she anyway? -She's waiting for us on the boat.
Watch.
What a gorgeous day, everyone.
I'm here about to train in the Northern Channel,
and I'm so close to once again beating Steffi Navarro.
And I think she must be hiding from us, hmm?
Did the princess oversleep, hmm? Or is she afraid of losing to me?
What a shame--
How in the world can she be such a goblin to other people?
Obviously, she wasn't raised to be nice like you.
Hey, are you okay? I was just joking.
No, it's silly.
Yesterday my dad confessed
that my grandparents hid that he met my mom here at Cielo Grande.
And I can't stop thinking about it.
That's really weird.
He just told me that your mom had never been here before.
Okay. Shall we go?
Sure.
Thank you.
Boys, boys, watch this.
-It's pretty cool, right? -That's it!
-And you can even clip the photos. -Yeah, yes.
But they have to be photos of the friend zone.
Tsk. Yeah, at least the song's not nothing zone.
Ah, poor thing.
We should ask everyone for photos.
-Good idea. I'll handle it. -Yeah.
Hello!
Emergency!
Clips of the friend zone.
Please send photos and videos of the resort. Thank you.
-It'll be awesome. -Yeah.
We have to include something really cool.
I know! We need sharks!
-We need sharks? -Yeah.
And are sharks cool?
-Well, of course. -Well, um…
-Hmm. -Better if the sharks don't eat you.
-Hey, Nati. -Yeah.
-Think we could get a plate of fries? -Please!
-Didn't you just have breakfast? -Yeah, but we're really hungry.
Sure. Have a seat.
-Thank you. -I'll be out soon.
Steffi,
the conditions here are not ideal.
Why don't we go over the plan one more time?
Okay. I think we should start the day with a championship routine like always.
First, a 180. Then the spins.
Then the flips.
Go easy first, before you do anything complex.
And then the final trick.
Me and your mother, Lyn, we met at the hotel.
-And Cynthia? -Cynthia?
I know who the girl in the photo is.
-Then we'll do… -Turns out she's Luz's mom.
Her name is Cynthia. I heard it directly from Luz.
Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend at Cielo?
That girlfriend was Luz's mom?
-I have no idea what you're talking about. -What other secrets are you hiding?
We were both competing in Summer Crush, and we fell in love.
The river is low. There might be driftwood in the way.
Ready?
Hey.
Hey!
-Are you ready? -Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do this.
How are you feeling? You seem a bit distracted.
No. I'm all good.
You're gonna go out there and just crush Natasha, right?
First trick is just perfect.
Now, get some good speed up for the spins.
And…
Look at you! Nice style! Good job!
Yeah!
That's it, Steffi.
You've just gotta keep your focus on the technique.
Come on! Next trick.
Good. Again.
Perfect. Your coach must really know what he's doing.
All right. Now get ready for the big move. Be careful on the landing, all right?
-Hey! Careful! Watch out for the log! -Watch out! Watch out, Steffi!
-Steffi! Turn the boat around. -Stop the boat! Pedro!
-Steffi. -Steffi.
-Grab her on the other side. -Pedro, here!
Can you hear me, Steffi?
Come here!
We're here!
-I got her. Take her legs, okay? -Steffi, can you hear me?
-Careful with her head. I'll go up. -Steffi, can you hear us?
-Steffi, can you hear me? Steffi?
Pedro, call Augusto and tell him that Steffi's hurt.
-I love how it looks. -Oh, just wait.
-There's more. -Okay.
Sharks.
Not gonna lie. When you suggested sharks, I thought, "No way."
-But you surprised me. -Check this one out, Nati.
-You're a genius. -Thank you.
Could I get that in writing?
Hey, Charlie. Something's wrong.
Charlie!
Relax, Steffi. You're okay. You're okay.
We're here. You're good.
The guys are coming. Everything will be okay. Here they are.
-Pass the neck brace. Pass the neck brace. -Here, I'll get in.
Careful. Careful.
-Here we go. Up. Slow. -One, two, three. Up.
-That's it. Fasten her down. -What happened?
On three. Okay. One, two, three.
Ready.
-Careful with the stairs. -Slow.
Right.
-Steffi, everything will be fine. -Turn to the right a little.
-Relax. We're right here. -Careful. Careful. Careful.
-We're right here. -Excuse us.
-Careful! -I got her.
Straight ahead.
I'm guessing Steffi isn't having a good day.
So I just finished my last training here at the Northern Channel,
and it was awesome.
Tomorrow we'll do the rapids, and then we're all done.
Then the competition, of course.
Well, that is for me, at least.
Seems as though Steffi Navarro won't be in her best form.
She had a terrible accident today.
I just heard, and… we'll see what happens tomorrow.
It's so sad.
Steffi not being at the top of her game, just makes this easier for us to win.
Obviously, she's not at my level.
I want to crush her in the water, you know?
If Princess doesn't show up, this whole trip was a total waste.
Thank you so much
Get some rest.
Everything will be okay.
This way, please.
-This is Dr. Berizzo. -Hi there.
Could you leave the room, please? I'm going to check her.
Okay?
Well, it's been 15 minutes. What's going on?
Steffi was conscious.
-Yeah, but she was confused, right? -Mm-hmm.
Yeah, but that's expected when you hit your head like she did.
Doctor, how is she?
Unfortunately, she's gonna have to recover little by little.
-She hit her head very hard today. -When can we see her?
It's better to wait. The hit caused a contusion.
-Is there anything we can do to help her? -She's currently under observation.
What she needs right now is to rest, at least until the morning.
Tomorrow we'll see if she can compete.
It all really depends on her recovery.
-Are you friends or family? -We're friends.
Although, Julián would like to be more than that.
Well, since you're friends, I recommend
letting her get some rest, keeping her relaxed.
It's very important that she doesn't get agitated.
-I'll walk you out. -Take care.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
I think we should let her rest.
Why don't we get some rest ourselves? Come on.
You go ahead.
She shouldn't be alone.
Hmm.
-Tony. -Mm-hmm?
Thank you for helping me.
We make a great team.
Luz. Tony.
-Hi, Dad. -Honey, how are you?
"Dad"?
Have a good night, Ron.
Good night, you two. Sleep well. Thank you for taking care of her.
-So Ron is Steffi's dad. -Yeah.
-I don't get why they hid it from us. -I don't know. Let's not get into it.
-What's important is Steffi gets better. -True. Yeah.
And what should we do about Sky Vibes?
-Should we hold off? -What?
-Why would we hold off? No. Why that? -Because of what happened to Steffi.
She was lucky. It could've been much worse.
-Yeah, it could've been terrible. -Guys, Steffi will be good. Relax.
Of course she will. Steffi is the most determined person I know.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, you're right.
We have to focus on Save Cielo. What are we missing?
We need the sponsor page, to plan the show…
I'm doing the page. What about the show, though?
I thought you had that one.
Well, obviously, it's a show, but what songs?
Well, we have "Friend Zone." The video's great so far.
-I'll finish it tomorrow. -We have other songs.
-The classics, "Emergency Love," "Now"… -"Now."
Oh, "A Thousand Steps" and "Warm Beauty."
-"Warm Beauty", we have to finish. -Don't worry. I got it.
-I'll help you. -Great.
Okay. The cover of "Lofty Sigh."
-We'll take care of that too. -Perfect.
We could ask the twins as well, to contribute a song or two, right?
-Okay. -Yeah, and I'll handle that too.
-Great. -Excellent.
-I love how it's all coming together. -Whoa! Go, team!
All right.
-Whoo! -We got this.
Ian looked a little down.
You can check on him if you want, and I'll stay with Steffi.
Luz.
I wanna thank you for everything.
Hey, careful. Watch out for the log there, Steffi!
Stop the boat! Stop the boat!
Luz.
You're awake.
How are you feeling?
Not bad. Better.
What was on your neck?
It's a birthmark.
I have a birthmark on my neck too.
Yeah, I saw.
What's weird is that mine is the same as yours.
Take a look.
Luz.
I didn't tell you everything I know.
It's very possible that you and I…
We might be sisters.
What?
