What's really going on
The collapse of Casita is the film's lowest point, and the scene is careful to show that the family's first instinct is not grief for the house but fear for the girl. Their powers are gone, yet nobody spends a line mourning them; instead they search and shout, "Mirabel! Where's Mirabel?" That order of priorities is the payoff of everything the film has set up, because the family that spent years measuring Mirabel by whether she had a Gift now realizes she was never the problem. Julieta's instinct is to treat and protect, Agustín asks after everyone, and Félix names the disaster plainly. The miracle is broken, but the love underneath it is not, and the search for Mirabel is what finally puts the family's values in the right order.
