“What are you talking about? Look at our home! Look at your sister?!” Abuela said as she pointed to the cracks, the dying flowers and to Isabella’s ruined dress.
“Please Isabella wasn’t happy-” Mirabel tired to explain but was irrupted by Alma who scoffed at her.
“of course she isn’t happy! You practically ruined her engagement after getting all the glory to yourself!” Alma snapped as Mirabel shook her head, though she was a little hurt that Abuela thought she was trying ot hurt her sister’s happiness but now she knew the truth She just need to let Abuela know as well.
“No, Isabella wanted me to ruin her proposal. And.. And we did all this.” Mirabel said happily as she pointed ot her dying flowers while Isabella was looking down with shame and fear toward what her Abuela would do to her..
“And.. And the candle grew brighter and the crack stopped… “ Mirabel continued even if she heard Abuela’s warning her to stop by sternly saying her name but Mirabel couldn’t stop this happiness that flew inside of her.
“That’s why I’m in the vision, I’m saving the miracle.” Mirabel said with so much happiness as she looked at her Abuela. Alma finally had enough. She just had it with Mirabel’s lies and troubles.
“You have to stop, Mirabel!” Alma finally yelled as Mirabel smiling face slowly left her face as she looked at Abuela who finally reached her limits, glaring at her granddaughter, she voiced out her worries, her anger, her fear, her everything.

Camilo and Antonio were laughing in Antonio’s room when suddenly it grew quiet as the room started to shake and both boys felt something wasn’t right. They rushed to get out of the room to look down to see Abuela yelling at Mirabel.

“The cracks started with you!” Mirabel’s eyes widen with hurt as she took a step back but Alma continued, “Bruno left because of you.” Luisa came to stand beside Isabella as both were looking down with fear and sadness as Alma continued to verbally attack Mirabel.
“Luisa’s losing her powers, Isabella’s out of control. Because of you!” Alma yelled as she pointed to Mirabel who’s heart was breaking.
”I don’t know why you weren’t given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt this family!” Alma yelled before looking at Mirabel’s finger which held her engagement ring, “A Family that you will no longer be a part of! I will forbid Camilo to marry you and I will cut you off this family's line just like I did with Bruno!” Alma finally snapped as the whole room was silent as Julieta, Pepa, Felix and Agustin stood by their children in shock.
“You are not worthy to be a Madrigal! And Such I will forbid you from ever become a Madrigal! You are a disgrace.”
Mirabel’s heart was torn to pieces as she look down with small tears gathering in her eyes, Camilo was furious as he and Antonio rushed down the steps.Camilo pushed Mirabel behind him to shield him from Abuela’s sneering face.
“How dare you say those things to Mirabel! If anything You are the disgrace!” Camilo yelled as the cracks begin to form around Mirabel and Camilo..
“How dare you!” Alma snarled as she raised her hand ot slap her disgraceful grandson.
SLAP!!
“Mira!” Julieta and Camilo gasped as Mirabel had push Camilo out of the way and let her Abuela slap her. Camilo was at her side in a instance, tenderly hold her. She shook out of his hold as she looked at her Abuela with hurt filled eyes..
“I.. I will never be good enough for you… Will I?” She whimpered as her eyes filled with tears while Abuela held her head high with a glare. Mirabel’s lip quivered before she finally let all the hurt and anger over the years out.
“No matter how hard I try to please you and to show you how hard I tried…” Mirabel looked to her sisters who were both looking down with sadness..
“No matter how hard any of us tries. Luisa will never be strong enough.. Isabella won’t ever be perfect enough.. Tio Bruno left our family because you only say the worst in him!” Mirabel snapped as she glared with hatred toward Abuela who only glared back.
“Bruno didn’t care about this family!”
“He loves this family!” Mirabel snapped and shouted. How dare she say this about her Tio, her own flesh and blood that he didn’t care about their family! As Mirabel was yelling at her Abuela, Casita was slowly cracking and rumblings could be heard.
”I love this family, we all love this family! You are the one who doesn't care!” Mirabel yelled unaware that her yelling could be heard and the cracks from Casita began form outside toward the village and toward the mountains.
"You’re the one breaking our home!” Mirabel cried as everyone was shocked as Alma gasped in anger as she raised her hand to slap her disgraceful granddaughter.
“Don’t you ever-”
“The Miracle is dying because of you!” Camilo and Mirabel both said as Camilo held on to Mirabel who cried in his arms. Alma eyes widen with shock at hearing what her grandchildren said to her, it was silent for second…
CRACK!!
A huge crack could be heard as everyone was shock to see the window that held the magical candle cracked and broke as Casita was slowly breaking apart. In the mist of panic, Mirabel knew what she must do.
Wetching from Camilo’s arm, she rushed toward the window while yelling for Casita to help her. As always Casita would help help up. She heard her name being called but she rushed up the makeshift ladder that Casita made for her.
Isabella used a vine ot swing her way toward Mirabel, to help her only for her powers to flicker and vanish as she screamed while falling. Casita caught her by the reins as she landed safety to the floor. Camilo rushed after his love as he was right behind her, climbing up the ladder.
Alma looked around in shock and worried as she watched all her hard work come crumbling down.. Mirabel had reached the top of the ceiling where she could almost reach the window stand where the candle stood.
