Have you ever been
so worried about something,

you couldn't even talk about it?

Stick around,
I'mma show you what went down.

[Winston] Hmm. Okay.

I think we've got all of Abuelita's
favorites for her birthday.

Favorite music, merengue.

Favorite snack, mmm, marshmallows.

Favorite color, blue.

Whoo! All done.

Na-na-nah. The last hundred
balloons are in the back.

Last hundred?

-[balloon spluttering]
-Whoa!

-Ah! Yowch!
-[Switch laughs]

-Farty party!
-[laughing]

Ugh! No time for farty balloons!

The party's tomorrow
and I still haven't figured out

what to get Abuelita for her birthday.

It has to be awesome.

This is a big, big birthday.

Isn't she turning 73?

[sighs] Yeah, but…

this gift has to be as special as she is.

-It has to make her cry.
-[Switch] Wait, what?

You wanna make your grandma cry?

Not cry cry.

Happy cry.

She laughs out loud,
slaps her knee and says,

"Me encanta."

Then she tears up.

That's how I'll know
she really loves her present.

Hey, why don't you make her
a little birthday video?

-She loves your movies.
-[girls] Yeah!

Ooh, I could make
a tribute video to Abuelita,

so huge, so epic, and so perfect…

[gasps] I'm… I'm getting a vision.

I'm seeing lights and music and dancing.

-Whoa!
-And the big finale.

A heartfelt speech from yours truly.

Ay, cariños,
it's just a little birthday video.

Karma, Switch, come on!

We've only got one day
to make the best video of all time!

-Okay.
-Bye, Ms. Torres.

Good luck! Cuidado, eh?

[laughs]

It's so heavy.

-Whoa!
-Whoa!

Hmm, should we start
with a big dance number?

Or maybe the music video.

Probably the interviews.

Why don't we film your speech first, Win?

No, no, not yet.

I, uh, just need a little more time.

-[invention roaring]
-Whoa, bananas!

Check it out!

My Master Blaster 5000!

Blast-o-Carrot!

-Whoa!
-Keys, stop it.

-That's so…
-[girls laughing]

-Whoops.
-[spits]

Wait a sec.

Does that thing blast marshmallows?

They're Abuelita's favorite!

It can blast anything.

Well then, you're hired.

You're my special effects technician.

Cool! I promise to do a good job.

-[clunks]
-Wait. What is the job?

Karma and Switch
are going to perform a song,

and when I point to you, you're going
to sh**t marshmallows out of that thing.

Lots of marshmallows. Got it?

-Got it.
-[Winston] Places, everyone.

Hey! Oh.

-Here?
-Perfect.

And action!

♪ Doña Maria makes
Our neighborhood grow ♪

♪ She's second to none
Queen of the marshmallow ♪

[straining] Whoa!

[Winston] Cut, cut, cut!

-What's wrong?
-That was fire.

[groans] That wasn't nearly
enough marshmallows, Keys.

This video has to be special.

[groans] Let's just keep going.

This video has to be perfect by tomorrow.

[groans] All right, I got this.
Okay, one second.

Uh… you okay, Win?

You seem a little fidgety.

I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Can we just do another take, please?
We have to get this right.

-All right.
-Hmm.

Action!

Doña Maria has been
an important part of this community,

and she's been volunteering
in this garden for years.

She's always helping out in…

[Winston] Dr. G.,
your glasses are crooked.

-Okay.
-[Winston] Cut!

[Winston] We love…

Doña Maria!

Wait, no, Chris.

The poster.

No, turn it.

Not around, to the side!

No, not sideways!

Uh, cut!

-[yips]
-That's it, good.

Good boy, Major!

Special effects technician, you ready?

-Ready!
-[Winston] Marshmallows!

No!

[groans] Keys, where
are all the marshmallows?

You know what, let me do it.
Now, which one do I press?

-No, no, no, wait!
-This one or…

Don't touch that…

[Winston] Whoa!

…button.

Cut.

Um, it's Doña Maria's favorite color.

I was going to surprise you
for your big finale.

You, uh, have a little…

[Winston groans]

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine. Stop asking me that.

We just have to keep filming.

We're losing daylight,
and I've got to do my speech.

Are you sure you're all…?

-[Winston groans]
-Oh.

Okay.

Uh, action.

Abuelita…

No, come on, Winston.

[clears throat]

Abuelita, you are the smartest, strongest,

most, uh…

[groans]

Nope, nuh-uh.

It's-It's not ready!

-What do you mean?
-You were doing great.

No, no, it wasn't good enough.
It has to be perfect.

This is the most important
birthday Abuelita's had.

-Ever.
-Huh? How come?

She's turning 73.

[groans] It just is!

I guess none of you even care
about her birthday.

Whoa, Winston, relax! It's gonna be fine.

Forget it, I'll do it myself.

Stupid blue smoke!

Seriously?

What is up with him?

[sighs]

♪ What in the world
Is going on with my friend? ♪

♪ Where's Winston?
He's really acting strange ♪

♪ His behavior's so different ♪

♪ Let me rewind
Did I skip over some signs? ♪

♪ Was he trying to tell me
He wasn't fine? ♪

Hmm.

Abuelita, you are the smartest,

strongest, most, uh…

[groans]

It just is!

I guess none of you even care
about her birth--

Wait, something's not right.

Hmm…

♪ The real problem is
It's bigger than this video ♪

♪ He has to know it's safe to talk to me ♪

Hmm.

♪ So here we go ♪

-[expl*si*n]
-Whoa!

I did it, I finally
got enough marshmallows!

You think I can help
Winston feel better now?

Well, I think something bigger
than marshmallows is going on,

and Winston might need
a different kind of help.

So… what's blue with you?

-Ha. Too soon?
-[groans]

Win, I know you've told us you're fine,

but it sort of feels like
something's wrong.

It's okay if you don't want
to talk about it.

You don't have to,
but we are gonna sit here with you,

cos that's what friends do.

[Winston sighs]

[inhales and sighs]

I wanna talk about it.

It's just hard.

Yeah, I know.

Whenever you need me ♪

♪ It's hard to let it out sometimes
It's not easy ♪

For so long ♪

[sighs]

I think I'm ready to talk about
what's been bothering me now.

[sniffles and sighs]

Remember when my abuelita had her stroke?

Yeah, I do.

That's why she's in
a wheelchair now, right?

Yeah, but that's not all that happened.

She got sick.

Like… really, really sick.

-Oh.
-I didn't know that.

You never know how many birthdays
a person will get.

And for a minute, we thought
she might not have another birthday.

It really scared me.

She's better now,
but things are just different.

Winston, I don't know what to say.

Would a hug help?

Winnie, when you're going through stuff,

you know you don't ever
have to go through it alone, right?

Now we totally get why you want
to make her birthday video so special.

I'm sorry I blew up at you.

I'm lucky to have friends like you two.

[both] Duh. We know.

[laughing]

Whatever you make,
your abuelita will love it.

She loves all your movies.

But it's not anywhere close to finished

and I didn't even get
all the footage I need.

And have you seen my face?

[sighs] What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?

Come on, Win, breathe with me.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Take a moment, be still.

[inhales]

[sighs] Take a moment, just chill.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Take a moment, be still.

[all inhale then exhale]

Take a moment, just chill.

[Winston sighs]

-Winston!
-[Winston] Oof!

I'm sorry there wasn't
enough marshmallows,

and I'm sorry about my invention
and I'm sorry for all the…

well, blueyness?

And I'm sorry that
your video isn't perfect.

It's okay, Keys.
Maybe it doesn't have to be.

-Yeah, let's put that there.
-Whoa!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Oops. Sorry.

[Winston groans]

Breathe in, breathe out.

Take a moment, be still.

[inhales then exhales]

Take a moment, just chill.

No worries, Switch.

-I'm ready.
-Okay, let's do this.

[inhales then exhales]

Abuelita, you're the smartest,

strongest, most loving person
I've ever met.

You taught me everything.

How to make tostones, how to paint,

how to be a friend.

I know there's
no such thing as perfection,

but to me you're the closest there is.

Te quiero, Abuelita.

From me, from Karma, from Switch,
from our whole community.

[cheering]

[laughing] ¡Me encanta!

[sighs]

Ay, gracias, mi amor.

Te quiero.

Ah! Let me get a look at you.

Ay, tu cara.

Ah. Everything can't always
be perfect, Abuelita.

Birthday Blast-o-Marshmallows!

[Abuelita laughing]

Felicidades, Abuelita!

Gracias, mi amor.
