"Summer of the Mixtape" is the first segment of the twentieth episode of the first season of Primos, and the thirty-ninth episode overall.
It premiered on March 2, 2025 alongside with Summer of Je Ne Sais Quoi.
Synopsis
Tater makes a mixtape to document her summer.
Plot
Tater is in her hiding place using the alias DJ Tatey to perform music when she is interrupted by an irritated Nellie. Tater reveals that she is compiling a mixtape of her "greatest hits" in a collection called Now That's What I Call Tater. She hopes to one day send the mixtape into space so that extraterrestrials will find it and chronicle Tater's life. Due to the fact that she is using a cassette tape for posterity's sake, she only has eleven minutes worth to record her tracks, something that conflicts with her plans. She ultimately settles to use the songs that she "performed" during the summer to fill up the cassette.
Tater starts things off by recalling the beginning of the summer and plays "Big Dreams", followed by the ever catchy "Clean It All Up". Because she wants to gain further admiration for her great deeds, she also adds "The Legend of Tater" to the line up. However, the cassette ends up unreeling itself and, in a panic, she rushes downstairs to the rest of the primos for help. While the "ancient" technology is too much for Gordita to handle, Lita is able to fix it, suggesting that another song be added. This prompts Big Nacho to add his song about Nachito called "Mi Dino-Chito".
The song is great, but Tater points out that it is not about her. This doesn't sway the other primos with Scooter positing his song "El Patín" to the lineup. The primos get into a fight with the T Sisters winning out with "Misión De Rescate". Tater ultimately realizes that the songs about her primos are just as important to her development and has Nellie add her song "Tater 2.0", but it is cut short due to time constraints. Tater finally suggests adding Buela's family trip song. Years later, Tater's mixtape is found by aliens who love the music and wonder when a volume 2 will come out.
