Is she genuinely trying to help one of her kind find a place in this world or is she only getting close to him to carve her own path to a free life?

'Party of Five' Episode 3 (Freeform)

Freeform’s ‘Party of Five’, which premiered last week, introduced us to the Acosta family. On account of being undocumented, the parents of the five children get sent back to Mexico, leaving the Acosta siblings to figure out life on their own. 

While episode 2 saw Emilio, Beto and Valentina try hard to remain a family, Lucia puts her rebellious side on the display, demanding freedom and independence. However, towards the end of the episode, she decides to follow her mother’s steps to turn to faith when everything else falls apart. 

But, we also saw Lucia express interest in Matthew, who is introduced to her by Valentina. When she first learns that Matthew is also an immigrant like her, she tries to dwell deep in the details, only to be dismissed by him. 

Lucia isn’t just a straight-A student at school. She also happens to be the smartest of the Acosta siblings. She refuses to be controlled by rules, even when warned against the consequences of her mindless actions. For instance, when Emilio wasn’t home, only a few days after her parents’ detention, she organizes a house party without being bothered by what her siblings have to say. 

Even when Valentina tells her that a miracle could bring their parents back, Lucia shuns her saying she has no hopes of that ever coming true. Lucia’s behavior is indicative of her desperate need to be free of not just family values but also leans towards her minimal care about social rules. 

Since she is investing herself too much in Matthew, which is unlikely of the typical Lucia, we can’t help wonder about her true intentions with the homeless man. Is she genuinely trying to help one of her kind find a place in this world or is she only getting close to him to carve her own path to a free life?
 
Well, we hope the upcoming episode reveals Lucia’s true colors, thus helping us achieve more clarity about her latest actions.
