Will the divide between Pedro and Chantel's family grow even more, or will they be able to get over their differences and become closer than ever? Meanwhile, Chantel's sister Winter is struggling with her own relationship to boyfriend Jah. Parents Karen and Thomas feel like they know nothing about Jah, despite their five-year relationship, and enlist their trusted private investigator to uncover some shocking secrets.

Meanwhile, on Pedro's side of the family, he prepares for a visit to the Dominican Republic and decides it is time to find out the truth about his father. Chantel, Winter and Karen determine to join him and support, or potentially complicate, his journey for the truth. Over on the island, Pedro's sister Nicole decides to update her look in a couple major ways, and her long-distance beau Alejandro is firmly against it, creating a major rift between them that is made worse when Nicole discovers a secret Alejandro has kept from her. For these two fiery extended families, there continues to be a wealth of drama and emotion, and never a dull moment.
