What happened in 'Acapulco' Season 2?
Lupe (Regina Orozco) surprises Memo (Fernando Carsa) by having her niece show up unexpectedly at the celebration. During the festivities, Nora gives an emotional toast about embracing second chances and love without fear.
Then, Don Pablo (Damián Alcázar) announces another treat: a performance by everyone’s favorite singers, Adriana (Rossana De León) and Augusto (Rodrigo Urquidi), joined by Rodolfo (Juan Pablo Espinosa).
In a lighter moment, Lupe pressures Memo to propose to her niece within a month, which leaves him in shock.
From a balcony, an emotional Maximo (Eugenio Derbez) observes the scene until Julia (Camila Perez) approaches him. She confesses her need for honesty and expresses her desire to be with him.
Relieved, Maximo reveals he has hoped for a second chance since New Year. Their reunion is sealed with a kiss, moving everyone who witnesses it.
Fast forward to the present, Hugo probes into Maximo and Julia’s past relationship. Maximo admits they dated secretly, which leads Hugo to challenge Maximo to confront his fears and visit "her".
The season closes dramatically as Maximo knocks on a door, and a young woman greets him with "Dad," just as Hugo begins to react, but Maximo covers his mouth, ending the season.
This finale wraps up past narratives while introducing a new chapter with the revelation of Maximo's daughter, setting the stage for exploring their estranged relationship in future episodes. It was a beautifully poignant ending to a season filled with surprises.
