Elsewhere, Juana and Rosa cross the border together, meeting Carlos Rincón later down the line. During the journey, Carlos helps the girl narrowly escape an attack. The atrocity helps bring the three closer together. Ultimately, the girls follow Carlos's lead, heading over to the Heritage House where he knows they will be able to find work.

Landing a job at Heritage House allows Carlos to finally reunite with his brother, Billy (Rolando Chusan), who happens to have a not-so-easy-to-ignore ulterior motive — he wants to claim Heritage House as his own.

In alignment with modern soap-opera traditions, the warring of the siblings make up a considerable chunk of the plot. Eager to one day take over their father's business, the kids engage in funny games — but they are far from the only ones to stir up drama.

The black sheep of the family, Antonio masters the art of scheming at a young age. Actor, screenwriter, and activist Tonatiuh sat down with Hollywood Life to share further details about his on-screen character, detailing why there seems to be a rift between Antonio and the rest of the clan.

"I personally think there’s a certain psychology behind it. When you’re betrayed by your family, it’s almost like I want you to feel what I felt," he said. "There’s also the male arrogance, or maybe I’ll call it the machismo — I’m entitled to this company or this tribe or to the head of the family, so I’m coming back to take my rightful place."

As the actor suggested, Antonio's relationships with his family might be teased out in more detail in the forthcoming episodes of the show.
