The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter new plants explode across the courtyard, Abuela storms in. She sees a ruined proposal, a cracking house, and a granddaughter who will not stop. Mirabel tries to explain: Isabela was not happy, the candle burned brighter, and the vision put her at the center of saving the miracle. Abuela hears only blame. The cracks started with you. Bruno left because of you. Then Mirabel says this family will never be enough, and throws the last line back: the miracle is dying because of you.
