Everyone stretched a bit and were ready to watch the rest. Luisa was nervous since she knew that this would be where her insecurities would be released. She wondered if it was normal for her to feel like that. If it was OK for someone with a gift to feel pressured. 

At moments like this, Luisa both  envied and felt  pity for Mira. Mira had never felt that pressure of expectations she had. But the truth was that  Mira had much more to deal with that Luisa would never ask for. Mira, had the pressure to try and prove to herself, the miracle, the family and the encanto that she was special enough to get a gift. It must have been hard for her. It was a feeling of pressure Luisa would never ask for as though her burden was a bit heavy, it would never be enough to outweigh Mira's. Luisa then did her best to avoid eye contact with anyone in the room. Soon the screen start to play again.

*We see Mia run after Luisa, then the scene cuts to the church . We see Luisa lifting it up and placing back on the ground. When the priest is making a sing of the cross with his hands as a thank you, Luisa is asked to do a few things by the town people*

Townsperson 2: "Luisa, can you re-route the river?"

Luisa: "Will do."

Townsperson 3: "Luisa, the donkeys got out again."

Luisa: "On it."

*She casually picks up the donkeys. Mirabel climbs a small brick wall and finds her.*

Mirabel: "Luisa"

*Reaches for her and ends up falling on her face. *

Everyone winced at this. "Ay, mija you should be careful, you weren't hurt were you?" Julieta asked concern clear in her voice. Mira looked at her mother reassuringly before nodding. "Don't worry Mamá, I'm ok" she said with a smile. then she looked at the scene. 

Mira: "Wait a second!"

*Mirabel gets up quickly and runs after her*

Mira: "You gotta tell me about the magic. What's going on? What are you hiding?"

Luisa: "Nothing. Just got a lot of chores so maybe you should just go home."

Townsperson 4: "Luisa, my house is leaning to the-"

*Luisa fixes the house with her leg*

Mirabel: "Dolores said your eye was twitching, and it never twitches. Something is making you nervous."

Luisa: "Hey, move. You're gonna make me drop a donkey."

*Luisa swings another donkey onto her back*

Everyone turned to Luisa, who's eye was slightly twitching. "Luisa, mija, is everything all right" Julieta asked clearly concerned. Luisa felt her mother's concern and shook her head while her eye kept twitching. Everyone knew she was lying though. This was becoming too much for Julieta, first she discovers that her youngest was feeling even more like an outcast than ever, then she finds out something might be bothering her middle daughter. This was becoming to overwhelming for her. She had to find a way to help her Familia.

Everyone watched all hoping they would understand what was wrong with Luisa.

Mirabel: "Luisa, will you just... just tell me what it is."

Luisa: "There's nothing to tell."

Mirabel: "You're obviously worried about something. Luisa, if you know what's hurting the magic and it gets worse, cause you won't tell me what's wrong-"
