Season Six Episode 15 Miguel

This episode is about Miguel and his life over the years. You get to see how Miguel came to America; and what his went through from childhood to adulthood.

Miguel’s father decides to move the family to America. He tells them things will be better for them here. At first the family seems nervous but eventually everyone gets use to their new home in a new country. They show Miguel as a child playing baseball and learning how to speak English.

Then it is fast forwarded to Miguel waking up every morning to be the first person Rebecca sees when she wakes up. He insist on taking care of her in every way. That means helping her out of bed, preparing her meals and making sure her medicine is sorted. The kids have hired a nurse to do these things, but Miguel is very adamant about doing it himself.

Eventually, Miguel is no longer physically about to take care of Rebecca alone; and the kids insist on him letting the nurse do her job. He is still the first person Rebecca sees; but with help he is not doing everything alone. His health is deteriorating and is in his final days.

You will enjoy this episode. I honestly always saw Miguel as someone who tried to take Jack’s place. Now you get to know who Miguel really is and to understand the decisions he has made throughout his life.
