Good evening, sir.
For your safety,
we're asking guests
to relocate
to the ballroom.
It's just a precaution.

[ Knock on door ]

Mateo: This way, please,
this way, thank you.
Good evening,
Mr. and Mrs. Bell.
Good evening.
Ms. Ruiz,
looking lovely tonight.
Everyone proceed calmly
to the ballroom, please.
Everything's fine.
Ballroom service starts
in five.
Where are
the finished plates?
We're down a line cook,
ma'am.
Sky?
Well, where is she?
[ Electricity powers down ]
Keep working, people!
It's a hurricane,
not the apocalypse!
Woman: As this
Category 4 hurricane
took an unexpected veer
to the west,
many locals did not have
the chance to evacuate.
If you are in Miami Beach
tonight,
please stay safe.

Oh, I can't stay long.
The kitchen will be

They'll manage.

Sky, you have something
that doesn't belong to you,
and I'm giving you the...
opportunity to return it.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I haven't called you here
in the middle of a hurricane
to play games.
You give it back...
or y--
What?
You'll fire me?
You can't touch me.
U-Unless, of course,
you want the entire world
t-to know
what your husband did.

Welcome.
I can see
you are nervous.
Trust me,
I know hurricanes.
And, uh, during a storm
like this,
you can do one of
two things -- panic...
or drink.
[ Laughter ]
Now, who is
this impossibly handsome man
trying to distract you
from the weather?
My name is Santiago Mendoza,
and I am your host and the owner
of this hotel.
[ Applause ]
The Riviera Grand
has been here
since 1951,
and I promise,
we will be here tomorrow.

Do you think
your kids and my kids
will get along for once?
They used to be friends.
You and I used

Things change.

That is so true.

But I am committed
to Miami.
No fraternizing with
the staff or guests --
that's a rule here.
Yes, ma'am.
That means no sex.
Understood.
Honestly, Danny,
there's something about you
I just don't like,
but, um...
we're understaffed,
we have a wedding on Sunday,
and Jason here tells me
if I don't hire someone today,
the other waiters
will revolt.
So I'm-a start you now
on a trial basis.
Ma'am, thank you.
I -- And I promise
that I will not --

Welcome home, señorita.
Nico, how are you?
How's your
beautiful daughter?
She's turning 5
next week.
5? That's crazy.
She was a baby
just a minute ago.
Señorita, this is
from the kitchen
in honor of
your graduation.
Aww, you didn't.
Thank you, Carlos.
Santiago: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Enough with the welcome wagon.
She's my daughter.
[ Laughs ]
Papi.
You look like
a million bucks!
Mm.
Papi, the place
looks fantastic!
Yeah.
I was so worried
about the hurricane.
Yeah, we were lucky.
Some of the trees
fell over,
a couple of
broken windows --
nothing too terrible.
A girl disappeared.
That's pretty terrible.
That's...
That's all behind us now.
Welcome, honey.
Look, we have -- we have
to talk about the future.
Maybe we can go
for one of our walks.
Hmm, yes, I have so many ideas
about marketing.
[ Engine revving,

[ Rap music playing ]
Oh, my God.
Is that ElRey,
the rapper?
"King of Miami."
He set off fireworks
in his living room --
burned down
the whole damn house --
so he's gonna stay with us
for a few weeks.
Aren't you gonna go greet
the big celebrity?
I just did.
[ Both laugh ]
Go, do your thing.
Yeah.
Oh, uh, where's Javi?
Oh, your brother.
God only knows.
Good morning, beautiful.
As much as I would love
to do this all day...
[ Chuckles ]
...I gotta go to this
family brunch thing.
Did you need some help?
Why would I need help?
I'm sorry.
O-Of course not.

What are you
looking at?
You.
So brave.
I had a cousin who had cancer --
a different kind, but --
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I just -- I gotta finish
getting ready,

I missed you.
Honey, we are all
so proud of you --
getting your MBA.
I just wish your mom was here
to see you now.
Yeah, this mural was
her favorite thing
in the whole hotel.
Every Sunday morning,
she'd march me and Javi
down here,
make us shake hands
with all the guests.
"My kids are gonna
run the place someday!"
♪♪
Well, I'm sure
she'd be thrilled
the way things
have turned out.
Maybe not thrilled
about Dad's new wife,
but everything else...
Well, speaking of Gigi,
she wanted me to remind you
that the welcome brunch
for your sister
is at 11:00.
Step-sister.
Well, she is!
[ Laughs ]
[ Both laughs ]
Come here!
Welcome back, baby.
New waiters
do everything here --
restaurants, poolside,
beachside, and room service.
Now, if you have
any questions about staff,
you can just ask.
I've been working here
since high school,
so I'm pretty much down
with everybody.
Oh, hey!
Morning, Ingrid.
How's it going?
That kind of day, huh?
Shut up.
I didn't say anything.
We're the last family-owned
hotel on the strip,
and that is the family...
[ Indistinct conversation ]
...so look alive.
♪♪
Who's that?
That's boss-man's daughter,
Alicia.
Otherwise known as
"off-limits."
Let's go.
Danny.
Let's go.
It was so sweet of you
to fly in for my wedding.
Oh, actually, the timing
worked out great.
I just finished up at Cornell
a couple weeks ago.
[ Chuckles ] God.
Right.
10 seconds in and she's already
talking about Cornell.
We get it.
You're smart.
[ Chuckling ]
Um, so, you and Byron
have only known each other,
what, six months?
It's been a whirlwind,
but when you know, you know.
[ Chuckles ]
And I hope you're okay
with not being a bridesmaid.
I didn't want anyone
to feel left out,
so Yoli's my Maid of Honor,
and that's it.
Mm, the frumpy twin sister
was less likely
to steal her thunder.
Why would you say that?
You steal my thunder
all the time.
You're beautiful.
[ Chuckles ]
Um, will you guys excuse me
for a minute?
You just flew in,
pobrecita.
You probably want
to run up and change.
Nope!
[ Chuckles ]
Look at you!
[ Groaning ]
[ Growling ] Aah!
Uh, I saw you playing nice
with the evil stepsisters
over there.
Yeah, well,
they're...harmless,
if you just ignore
the hideous things they say.
Mm.
You okay?
You look tired.
Well, that's 'cause
I didn't sleep much.
[ Snorts ]
Oh, God.
You know Dad hates it when
you hook up with the guests.
Added bonus.
Thank you.
We are so glad
you could join us,
some of you all the way
from Beijing. [ Chuckles ]
Huanying!
[ Byron laughs ]
Did I say it right?
Uh...
I hope you had
a chance to meet
our lovely bride,
Carolina,
and her sister, Yolanda.
They're twins!
Fraternal, obviously.
[ Chuckles ]
And we're also blessed
to have my children here --
Alicia and Javier.
We are
a "blended" family,
and today,
we're thrilled
to welcome you, Byron,
into the blend.
Salud, everyone.
Alicia: Salud.
[ Glasses clinking ]
Cheers.
Apologies, sir.
I would like to offer
our celebrity friend, ElRey,
the use of
the grand cabana today,
with your permission,
of course.
[ Scoffs ] You hardly
need my permission
for anything, Mateo.
Go ahead.
Very well.
Excuse me.
ElRey is here?
We have to get him to play
at the wedding.
Okay.
[ Taps glass ]
So, uh, first,
thanks to Carolina
for marrying me.
You're hilarious,
unbelievably beautiful.
[ Chuckling ] I mean, my friends
can't believe how hot you are.
[ Chuckles ]
I also want to thank
Gigi and Santiago.
It's not always easy
mixing family and business,
but, uh...
you have made this deal
a total breeze.
Deal?
Thank you, Byron.
Huangfu Development has been
exploring the market
for a long time,
and we're just delighted
to be purchasing
this wonderful property.
[ Chuckles ]
Cheers.
Dad!
You sold the hotel?
You sold it?!
It's done?
Deal closes next Friday.
I never meant for you
to find out this way.
[ Snorts, scoffs ]
Is this funny to you?
Oh, I-I mean,
I'm the big disappointment,
so I get why you don't
tell me, but Alicia --
I mean, she wasted two years
in business school on this.
It's not a waste!
You can do anything you want
with that degree.
But this was the plan.
This was Mami's hotel
before it was yours.
She wanted us to have it.
[ Sighs ]
I know everyone
is upset,
but you're making
an awful scene.
Why are you talking
right now?
Javier.
Because I'm part
of this family.
No, our mother is rolling
in her grave right now, okay?
You were her best friend,
and you wasted no time
before swooping in
like a vulture.
That's enough.
[ Scoffs ]
I mean, are you at least
gonna tell me why?
I'm getting older,
and...
it's time to retire.
Gigi wants to travel.
Oh, so this is her doing?
No. This is
a business decision.
But this is not just
a business.
This is home.
Gigi: Alicia, we should've
told you sooner,
but can you please
go back to the table?
This is Carolina's
big weekend.
I don't want to spoil it.
It's a little late
for that.

Actually,
I-I'm getting married
this weekend,
and we would be so honored
if you would attend.
Maybe perform a song?
What about you, Gordita?
You like my music, too?
Did you just
call me "Gordita"?
It's a compliment, mamá.
I like a thick and juicy girl.

sell the hotel.
[ Sighs ]
Maybe this is
a good thing.
You'll be free to do
whatever you want.
Hey, does my dad seem
a little off to you?
No, not really. Why?
Selling the hotel,
keeping it a secret.
I asked him
about the girl
that went missing
in the hurricane.
He got all weird
and changed the subject.
I think your dad
selling this place
has really thrown you
for a loop, Alicia.
Seriously, y-y-your brain
is working overtime,
trying to figure out
what else he's hiding.
But the truth is, you just
don't like what's happening...
and I don't blame you.

Circles are cool

but, uh -- but what if
we changed it
to a diamond?
[ Chuckling ]
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Yeah, a diamond.
