It premiered on August 24, 2024 alongside with Summer of El Futuro.
Synopsis
Tater teams up with the primos to get revenge on The Skid.
Plot
Tater writes in her journal how she has grown to appreciate and rely on her primos for support. At Quakey's, she goes to join them in the arcade. As she is about to get on a duck ride, she is shoved out of the way by her arch-nemesis neighbor, the Skid, who promptly rubs his derriere on everything. Tater attempts to move on, but his family the Malfeos have stolen their booth at the restaurant, made worse when the Skid's sister reads Tater's journal allowed. Tater and the primos head back home, but are further horrified to learn that the Skid has stolen Nachito's Palo de Poder and refuses to give it back. Tater and the primos plot a rescue mission.
Taking the form of a video game, Tater takes control of each of the primos to infiltrate the Skid's backyard. The Nachos go first, but fall into a flower patch. LotLot attempts to scare the Skid, but gets "melted", while the T-Sisters hop over, but land in the Skid's underwear. Gordita creates a portal gun, but it proves dangerous. The rest of the primos enter, but are swiftly defeated. Lucita suddenly goes over to politely ask for the Palo de Poder and is "imprisoned" in the Skid's shed. Tater finally runs over to rescue her, but discovers that the Skid has fled to Quakey's while Lucita is shown to be calmly playing video games.
Tater heads to Quakey's and finds the Skid on the kiddie rides and challenges her to an endurance test, despite their rather simplistic programming. Tater and the Skid ride, but the former quickly runs out of quarters. The primos arrive to show their support and give their quarters to her, allowing Tater to outlast the Skid and defeating him for good. As Nachito gets his Palo de Poder back, Tater thanks the primos for helping her out and always being there for her. After realizing that they do not have any money for pizza, Tater suggests that they celebrate with parmesan and pepper packets instead.
