“ | But this is supposed to be the summer of ME! | ” |
"Summer of Tater" is the first segment in the first episode of the first season of Primos. It is also the first episode of the season overall and it aired on July 25, 2024 on Disney Channel.
Plot[]
Right at the end of the school year, 10-year-old Tater Ramirez Humphrey has decided to make it her goal to change her life and make something of herself. In contrast, her younger, yet taller, sister Nellie cynically looks down on Tater's goals and ask that she be more realistic. Tater admits that she does not know what her "final form" will be like, but still believes that this summer will make major changes to herself, though Nellie thinks that their environment is too stunted to allow such a thing.
At home, Tater looks to get support from her family for what they have done for "dreams". Unfortunately, her family believes that she means literal dreams and offer things to help her sleep. When she corrects them, they unenthusiastically tell her to keep her dreams simple, justifying Nellie's comments from earlier. Tater further comes up with other ideas on what she can do, but Nellie finds flaws in her personality that would prevent her from achieving such things. They are interrupted by the arrival of the primos and go to visit them, in the hopes that it will be quick.
Nellie, who has trouble remembering the primos names, has Tater go through each of them. Tere, Tabi, and Toñita are athletic star obsessed sisters. Gordita is the science minded one, while her older brother Cousin Bud is an eco friendly nerd. ChaCha is a wild child of simple words, while Lita is the oldest and coolest. Her younger siblings are Scooter, the shy one, and Lucita the cute one. Finally Big Nacho and Nachito are the roughhousing brothers. Tater hopes that that is the end of the visit, but her mother Bibi reveals that they will be staying for the whole summer, much to Tater's shock.

- Before the line mentioned below, an extra line from Nellie is added explicating that they live in Los Angeles.
- Before the shot of the street, Nellie’s line “do you know where you live?” was dubbed over with “I mean, look at this place,” presumably to tie into the above-mentioned line.

- When the triplets are introduced, their dad’s line was changed from “Terremoto’s Finest” to “LA’s Finest”
- When Bud greets the Tios, the sign saying “Terremoto City Dump” was removed.
