It released early on July 26, 2024 on Disney+, and officially premiered on August 3, 2024 on Disney Channel, alongside with "Summer of Los Pollos Hermanos".
Synopsis[]
In a nature documentary style, Tater embarks on a quest to find her own territory.
Plot[]
Despite having a corner to herself, Tater is still annoyed at the fact that the primos invade her personal space and are always interrupting her alone time when she is trying to concentrate on her "final form". Nellie continues to belittle her sister's goals and tells her to simply go with the flow of summer by meditating. Guided by a documentary-like narrator. Tater decides to make it her goal to find a new location where she can collect her thoughts. She goes about the house, running into a variety of obstacles and other primos who constantly stymie her journey with finding the perfect hiding spot.
Tater eventually makes her way to a crawl space attic that rests right above the garage. Impressed with its space and its support, she makes plans to move in. She is briefly accosted by an opossum living in the space, but she manages to scare it away. She fills the space with her things, only for Nellie to suddenly pop her head in. Ever delighted to rain in on Tater's happiness, Nellie threatens to tell the other primos about the place and begins messing with her by popping in and out of the insulation. However, Nellie ends up getting stuck in one of the floor boards as the opossum threatens to attack her feet.
Overcome with the need to protect her sister, Tater rescues Nellie and scares the opossum away. Nellie admits that the reason why she meditates is because she too does not have a private place of her own. Tater offers that she can stay in the crawl space with her, but Nellie feigns being allergic so that Tater can be by herself. Tater in turn gives Nellie a yoga mat. When Nellie is confronted by Gordita, Lucita, and Nachito about Tater's whereabouts, Nellie tells them that she will be around when she is ready, keeping the crawl space secret. Afterwards, Nellie is still attacked by the vengeful opossum.

Trivia[]
Productions[]
- The Cookita and Lucita versions of this episode, alongside Summer of Los Pollos Hermanos, was leaked online on September 11, 2024, however the links were removed via DMCA a few hours later. The Lucita version is almost identical to the Hacienda version, except for one thing;
- The Lucita version preserves the Goudy blackletter in the title card and credits of the Cookita version. This was corrected in the Hacienda version.
- Gordita's line "My observations indicate that Tater needs to take a chill pill." in the Cookita version was replaced with "I'm perscribing you some chill pills." in the Lucita version.
- As Tater leaves, "I know you're all just here for the summer, but..." was added in the Lucita version.
- A disgruntled sigh was cut after she takes Bibi's sleep mask off in the Lucita version.
- In the Cookita version, there was a layering issue where the glow of the attic lights overlapped Nellie.
Allusions[]
- BBC Planet Earth - This episode, as well as the narrator, are clear parodies of Sir David Attenborough's nature documentaries.
- Big City Greens - This episode is very similar to the Season 4 episode Concrete Jungle.
- DuckTales (2017) - When Tater was jumping in the insulation in a similar manner to Scrooge McDuck.
