Anyone notice how Abuela only interacts with Pepa when she tells her she has a cloud/is storming (which is obvious and helps nothing) and to calm down in a harsh expectant tone rather than acknowledge her daughters emotions and help her through them, which is probably what caused Pepa to learn how to compartmentalize all of her negative emotions, probably being the major contributor to her emotional instability?

Anyone notice how Felix affectionately brushes away her brewing storm clouds when he can and when Pepa looks at him the cloud goes away?

Anyone notice how Felix, Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio all wear yellow along with Pepa in order to help her by surrounding her with “sunshine” to help her be happy and chipper?

Anyone notice how even Felix has his couple moments of exasperation, and the only person we see actually attempting to calm Pepa down is Camilo, who speaks calmly and soothingly while offering her tea?

Anyone notice that it’s not until her BROTHER tells her “your bro loves you so” and to let it rain, let it snow, letting her know that he loves her no matter the weather and she should let her emotions happen?

Anyone notice when Felix remarks “that’s what I’ve been saying, bro!” implying that he had been saying that to Pepa all along, but in order to actually believe it, she needed to hear it from Bruno, who she believed so deep down that she possibly wasn’t aware, might have left because she blamed him for “ruining” her wedding, when it was actually ruined by her hurricane, and him leaving proved to her that if she doesn’t keep the skies clear, those who she loves most will turn away from her?

Anyone notice that even though her family (except Abuela) isn’t sure how exactly to help, they still try in their own ways and eventually the right person says the right thing that gets through to her?

Running Free por Jeff Terry Por Flickr: Rio Grande Southern 4-6-0 No. 20 making a test run from Antonito, Colorado, towards Lava on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The locomotive was restored in 2019 but has been confined to the 1-mile loop at the Colorado Railroad Museum since that time. The tender for the locomotive had arrived on August 22. After assembly and steam-up, on August 23 (the only time 20 operated during the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup) Jeff Taylor and his crew from CRRM were finally able to open up the throttle and really let No. 20 run. It first pulled the regular consist out to the Antonito Yard Limit board (to allow 2-8-0 No. 425 to be turned on the Antonito loop). It then cut off from the train and proceeded light towards Lava with a full tender. The cab was packed and there were smiles all around as No. 20 accelerated out of town.
