Later, Kevin confronts Miguel and tells him that if he acts on his feelings for his mom, his dad is going to be turning in his grave. Later, after clean-up, Rebecca and Miguel are outside. He says earlier, his jabs at Matt were not harmless and accidental. She says neither were hers at Margarite.

If something happens to Miguel, Kate will stand in for him. She thinks the disease will be harder on them than her, and she doesn’t want the camera focused on her every holiday. This thing that is holding her back, is not the thing that will hold them back, so take the risks. She is their mother and she is sick, she is asking them to be fearless.
