Acapulco Season 2 Episode 9, “The Power of Love,” pauses the plot as the season finale draws near. The parallel chronology framework, which has been a source of controversy all season, is now more clear than ever in this penultimate episode of Acapulco Season 2.
On the one hand, the flashbacks depict enormous linear development because AcapulcoSeason 2 started on January 1st and has since moved through Easter. Present-day Maximo, however, is relating his tale to Hugo over the course of a single day. two perhaps?
For the purpose of extending Maximo’s story in the current timeline, the program has invented an unneeded mystery. It would be simple to incorporate two major plots into the current-day story as opposed to spreading out this mystery over ten episodes.
It’s evident that Acapulco Season 2 is dragging out the Present plot to conclude on enough of a cliffhanger that demands a Season 3, especially in this era of streaming programs where renewal can be difficult to come by. I am concerned that we will never witness one.
Having said that, the ’80s-related events in Acapulco Season 2 Episode 9 have come to a natural end for the season. Where do we go from here? Maximo and Julia are both single, the Las Colinas guys have discovered some answers (via Canary), Sara has returned home, and Diane has persuaded Don Pablo to come back.
The season finale has a clear direction to concentrate on the Present Day storyline, which is sorely needed. The dynamic of unexpected couplings has been the highlight of Acapulco Season 2. One example is the completely absurd mischief that Chad, Memo, and Hector get into when they’re combined.
The issue is that the Present Day tale barely features any of these people. It’s difficult to care for the Las Colina’s ancillary personnel because we don’t see or hear about them in the future, with the exception of Old Memo, who was hardly introduced midway through Acapulco Season 2.

We’ll see some of these characters again in the present if the season finale is building to Don Pablo’s memorial. Why weren’t any of those dramatics available earlier?
The unknown lady is referred to as “the love of [Maximo’s] life” in Acapulco Season 2 Episode 9, so are we back to Isabel or Julia? Considering how intelligent this program can be, that is disappointing. In the finale, I hope Acapulco throws us a huge curveball. Give me the kid Maximo has been keeping secret from his nephew!
AcapulcoSeason 2 Episode 9 also gives the other characters a chance to settle in addition to Maximo’s romantic and professional lives. I was concerned that Damin Alcazar wouldn’t return when Don Pablo went to Mexico City.
He gets reintegrated into the group in a way that fits both his persona and the resort. For Maximo’s future, his comeback is significant in broader ways. By giving the resort’s manager actual ownership, a standard is established for Maximo to follow. Is that how he makes his money?
It would be a fantastic way to tie up Maximo’s character journey from the past to the present and would support Mr. Vera’s reintegration. In Acapulco Season 3, demonstrating how these three distinct Mexican men from various backgrounds “made it” would be an intriguing subject.
Additionally, bringing him back creates a strong foundation for Chad’s bold move. I’m sure he can return to Acapulco if he sets out to “discover himself” by traversing the globe. I hope to see more of Chord Overstreet because he has been a comic foil throughout the season.
Acapulco Season 2’s conclusion will need to move quickly because there are only 30 minutes remaining to complete the story. I wouldn’t be as concerned if Acapulco already had a season extension scheduled. But it will be fascinating to observe how this season plays out given that the future is uncertain.
Stray Thoughts
- Julia’s family’s excitement that she’s going to “be a gringa” is such a Mexican thing to say. It’s definitely how my aunts talk.
- I’m still iffy about how Sara’s arc has been treated this season. It’s been too on again then off again.
- Lupe scamming both the Las Colinas boys and her own cousin is very on-brand.
- I’m glad Nora and Sara made up, but I hope they have a real conversation about their issues.
- We love Esteban!!
