Mexican-American teen Jules has a hard time connecting with her cousins on a visit to the Yucatán, but when some mischievous Mayan spirits called Aluxes trap them all in an underground cenote (natural spring) they must work together to escape.

This episode was produced by Brian Tanner, Wendy Folsom, and Sam Payne.
