In the second season, we last saw young Maximo (Enrique Arrizon) reconciling with Julia (Camila Perez) as they shared a kiss at the party. His current self explained that their relationship got crazier from there, but a word of encouragement from Hugo (Raphael Alejandro) caused Maximo to visit Julia, only for his daughter to open the door for him. Season 3 will focus more on his relationship with his family while his younger version neglects his support system for more success.
