==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 Ramirez Humphrey|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 [[Ramirez Humphrey Family|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 Ramirez|Tere]], [[Tabi Ramirez|Tabi]], and [[Toñita Ramirez|Toñita]] are athletic star obsessed sisters. [[Gordita Humphrey|Gordita]] is the science minded one, while her older brother [[Cousin Bud Humphrey|Cousin Bud]] is an eco friendly nerd. [[ChaCha Ramirez|ChaCha]] is a wild child of simple words, while [[Lita Perez|Lita]] is the oldest and coolest. Her younger siblings are [[Scooter Perez|Scooter]], the shy one, and [[Lucita Perez|Lucita]] the cute one. Finally [[Big Nacho Ramirez|Big Nacho]] and [[Nachito Ramirez|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.

===Milestones===
*This is the first episode where the title does not have a translation.

**Scooter and Pop have no lines.
*[[Hacienda Hills]] makes its series debut.
*During the production delay, this episode (along with the rest of the season) was altered to keep the show from coming off as offensive and/or stereotypical.
** 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.
** In the shot of the street
*** The words “Terremoto Heights Elementary” on the other bus are replaced with “Hacienda Hills Elementary.”
*** The graffiti words “Terremoto Heights” and “Crack” are replaced with “Hacienda Hills” and “Crevasse”.
*** The Ice Cream truck is replaced with an Avocado Toast truck (though the truck’s jingle is left intact).
** Nellie’s line about summer literally stinking was shortened to remove the part mentioning the freeways, factories, and dumps.
** Right before Buela says “nightmares,” a line from Tater is added mentioning that she doesn’t speak Spanish, to which Buela responds with exasperation.
** The car horn was changed from La Cucaracha to a Charge-esque tune
** 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.
** Nellie’s line “That’s gotta be a nickname” was changed to “was that always her name,” going along with Lucita’s name change (while also serving as a reference to it).

===Continuity===
*The episode continues directly into [[Summer of Primos]].
