- Hey everyone, I'm Jessica Marie Garcia. - And I'm Jason Genao. - I am Diego Tinoco. - My name is Julio Macias. - I'm Sierra Capri. - I'm Brett Gray. You may know us from Netflix's "On My Block." - Oh, they definitely know us from the show. Season 3 of "On My Block" is just around the corner and we wanted to catch everyone up on all the crazy stuff that happened over the last two seasons. - Here we go. (guitar music) - So, the main characters you need to know are Ruby, Monse, Jamal and Cesar. T

hey are an unstoppable four-person crew who have been friends since they were little. - Cesar is the chill, handsome one and Jamal is like the quirky one. - And handsome. - Oh, whatever. But Ruby is the super smart ambitious one and Monse is the no-bullshit tell-you-how-it-is one. - Eat a dick. - I like to think that Ruby was the chill, handsome one. - Yeah, well, think whatever you want. But they should also know about Jasmine, who's fun, overly confident and all about that D! And Ruby's abueli

ta who is a very, very cool grandma. - Who loves to, uh...(inhales deeply) - Smoke pot. (laughs) - So we begin Season 1 in the summer before freshman year. Everyone is hanging out, excited for summer, and Monse is about to head out to writing camp. - She's also got a little somethin'-somethin' going on with Cesar, but we'll talk more about that later. - Smash cut to the end of the summer, as Monse returns from camp. - How was camp? - Camp was fine. Notice anything new? - [Boys] You got boobs. -

But things are weird with Cesar because his spooky brother, well, his brother, Spooky, is out of prison, and now Cesar is hanging with Spooky's gang. - Cesar says some really messed up shit to Monse and has apparently been telling people they smashed, so, yeah. She's pretty pissed about that. - You little bitch! - Ow! (crowd laughs) - Meanwhile, Jamal has been lying to his parents about being on the football team. It's not really his thing, but his dad was a big football something-or-another, so

Jamal's in a lot of pressure to follow in his footsteps. - Did you quit the team and not tell your dad? - No. Yes. - And Monse confronts Cesar and he reveals that he was trying to protect her. But she forgives him and they, uh, make up. - (catcall whistles) Make up. Shall we say. - We shall say. - But we also see that Cesar is completely covered in bruises-- - Dah-dah-dah! - Meaning that he was jumped into his brother's gang. - Over at Ruby's house, Ruby is elated that he finally gets his own r

oom. And then Abuelita moved in after her room flooded, but now it's all Ruby's. - I finally, finally have my own room! - Nope! - What do you mean I don't have my own room? - His dream of having his own room is ripped away by the arrival of Olivia, a friend whose family was recently deported. - But, for some reason, the moment Ruby meets Olivia he's not pissed about giving up his room anymore, hmm. - Hmm. - Yeah, hmm. - No, you will be bunking with the twins. - Da! - Anyways. - Everyone gets to

know Olivia at school and Cesar starts flirting with her a little bit, mostly to make Monse jealous. - Yes! Which bothers the hell out of Ruby because he's crushing on Olivia really hard. - And the homecoming dance is coming up fast and everyone is being really silly about whether they wanna go or not. - What? What am I saying wrong? - Everything! - Well, either way, when they all show up to the dance it's canceled because of a fight, so they all head back to Monse's to party. - Elsewhere, Jamal

, who they all left and didn't tell about the dance in hanging out with Abuelita. - This is nice! It's hard to find a kindred spirit who thinks like me. - It makes sense if you know them. - And she confirms what he suspects, that decades ago, someone had robbed local hotspot Roller World and the cash was never recovered. Jamal is on the case. - (laughing) I didn't think you were gonna do this in front of these people. - You're gonna find the money. - Oh! - While out trick-or-treating in Brentwoo

d, Jamal find an old "Soul Train" dancer who knew people involved in the original Roller World heist. Jamal gets a lot of good intel from her, even though-- - There is that little part where she holds him at gunpoint. - Are you casin' my place? You think I'm a fool? I saw you takin' pictures. - Also, and this really sucks, as they leave the dancer's house, a woman is walking up to the door with her kids trick-or-treating. Monse looks like she's seen a ghost and recognizes her as her mom! Who lef

t when she was really little, but her mom does not recognize her 'cause, whoa. - Brutal. - After a night out on Halloween, in a vulnerable moment for Cesar, Olivia kisses him. - And he kisses her back, like a lot, even ignoring Monse's call as they make out. So if things weren't insane enough between those two, this is gonna make things even wilder. Especially since Jamal knows this secret and he sucks at keeping secrets. - I got nine hours, tops, and that's with perfect conditions. If there are

any extenuating circumstances all bets are off. I can't be too hungry or too full or too hot or too cold or feel like I'm being physically cornered. - Next thing we know, Cesar is out crossing out Prophet tags to impress his brother Spooky, who shows up at Ruby's house and is unexpectedly trapped inside while cops lock down the neighborhood looking for a shooter. - I can't believe we're stuck in the house with Oscar! (laughs) (phone rings) - With Cesar stuck outside running from the Prophets an

d the cops. - And the secret clock is still ticking. - Cesar eventually gets picked up by Officer Hammel, who turns out to be more interested in his love life than locking him up. He warns Cesar that he needs to stop Monse from finding out about his kiss with Olivia. - We gotta get you there. (siren blares) - Well, guess what? It doesn't work, because Monse finds out. - You kissed Olivia! - But! Not from Jamal, and now Cesar's in the doghouse. - Okay, so basically, everyone is mad at everyone. -

But nobody is in more shit than Jamal, as always, who accidentally leads his parents to believe he will be playing in the weekend's big football game on the team that he quit months ago. - But Ruby does a little verbal Jiu Jitsu on the coach, and Jamal is allowed to sit on the bench. - 'Cause I have a dream that one day you will ask not what Jamal can do for you, but what you can do for Jamal. - Hallelujah! - Because if the helmet fits, you must let him sit. - Win-win. - You win. - But you know

who isn't happy? - Cesar and Monse. - Who have a huge fight outside the game which ends in Monse telling Cesar that he needs to go after Olivia after all this time. - And Olivia likes you, and I like her, so you should do that. - Rough times, indeed. - Back with the rest of the crew, Olivia's turning 15 and is really bummed out because her mom isn't gonna be around to throw her quinceañera. - Quinceañera. Oh, you heard that? (rolls tongue) - Oh, that was cute, you did that. - So her friends thr

ow one for her. - We're the best. - Yeah, it's pretty cute. (laughs) - But later, as Cesar is walking Monse home, he's rolled up on by a rival Prophet gang member, Latrelle, who pulls a gun on him and threatens to smoke his ass if he catches him again slippin'. - You lucky yo bitch is here. - Cesar's big brother Spooky starts protecting him, and he takes him to chill on the beach right before he reveals that Cesar's gonna have to kill Latrelle in retaliation for his threats. - Heavy shit. - Heav

y shit, indeed. - Still on the hunt for the Roller World money-- - Jamal meets this eccentric guy, Chivo, who has a weird posse of gnomes. - Yeah, those gnomes are weird. But Jamal thinks Chivo and gnomies hold the key to finding the money. - Back to Monse, who can't get her mom out of her head. When she sees her mom looking for a babysitter on Facebook, she can't help herself and volunteers. - This experience is so, so painful. Monse breaks the connection and unfriends her, but not before her m

om realizes who she is. (phone buzzes) - The time has come. Cesar finds Latrelle at the park, and after waiting for him to go into a bathroom alone Cesar follows him in there with a pistol drawn and ready to shoot. - Be he can't do it. - Yeah. Because he's not a murderer. - But he does tell Latrelle to bounce out of town and tell no one, to make it seem like he's gone through with the hit. - Then it's done, we're even. - Finally, the day of Olivia's quince has arrived and everyone is taking it s

uper seriously because Ruby planned the whole thing meticulously. - We're just down a llama and a chamberlain and one of your surprises is ruined. - One of my surprises? - Yes, but that's all I'm giving you until it's spoiled. - Oh, and Olivia and Cesar end their fling because neither of their hearts were really in it anyway. - My heart's not in it, and if you're being honest, I don't think yours is, either. - Yeah, and then she kisses my man Ruby. ♪ Oh there's levels, oh there's levels, oh ther

e's levels ♪ ♪ Oh there's levels, oh there's levels, oh there's levels ♪ - Finally! - Finally. (laughs) - Monse and Cesar also patch things up which, I think, we all knew they would. - Oh, and big news. Jamal isn't at the party because he's digging holes in the football field looking for the Roller World money. - Ricky, where the hell'd you put it? - And guess what, he finds it! He actually finds buried treasure. Insane. - But just as things are going so well, Latrelle shows up to the quince. -

Instead of leaving town like he was supposed to, and he opens fire and flees, leaving Ruby and Olivia shot, on the ground gasping for air. - Ruby! - Mija! Mija, stay still! (gasps for breath) - And that is the end of Season 1. - Glad there weren't any big cliffhangers or people might have been losing their minds waiting for Season 2. - Yeah, that would have sucked. (tone) - We got some food, took a quick nap and now we're ready to hit you with the same beautiful recap, but for Season 2 this time

. - Here we go. - So let's end the wait. Ruby is alive and just out of the hospital. Olivia was not so lucky, RIP Olivia. - Now, everyone is super sad about Olivia because, obviously, it's super sad. Lots of crying all around and Ruby definitely does not feel like himself. - (sobbing) I'm not okay. - Yeah, his world has turned upside down and he's trying to find his way back. - Also, his big brother Mario is home from college with a pregnant white girlfriend who talks a lot. Like, a lot, a lot.

- I'm so sorry about your recent loss. My heart goes out to all of you. And as a beneficiary of white privilege these kinds of tragedies are like, foreign to me. So on behalf of my people, I am sorry for keeping your people down. - After the funeral, Jamal tells the crew about his big secret. The gym bag full of cash that he found. - I found the Roller World money. - But when they go back to his house he discovers two very upsetting things. - Well, one, his parents are gettin' nasty. - Ugh. - Me

ntal scars for like, ever. - And, two, his mom gave the gym bag, the one stuffed with his found cash, away to charity. - Nah! The money is gone! - Jamal, Monse and Cesar set out to find the missing bag of cash while Ruby sets off on his own path to confront Spooky, who he blames for what happened at Olivia's quince. - You must be in the anger stage. - Spooky actually invites Ruby to spend the day with him and he tells Ruby that the only reason he's safe now is because of his game. - I get that y

ou got shot, but why do you think no one came to finish the job, huh? 'Cause of me! And think about how fast that truce happened. Me, again! - Meanwhile, Cesar's on the outs with Spooky and the Santos because, you know, he lied about killing Latrelle, so he's sleeping on the streets of Freeridge. - It's really messed up. - But Monse's determined to find him a place to sleep. - Jamal gets in trouble with the school for digging up the field. They caught his ass on the security cameras but at least

they don't know about the money. - What the hell on Earth were you diggin' up? - Either way, the football coach is gonna make him work off his crime. - I own you. - He also starts getting followed by this creepy little gnome who we met in Season 1. (screams) - The crew needs to find a way to clean the money ASAP because they also need to get Cesar off the streets. - Fortunately, Abuelita comes in solid here. After all, she has an all-cash business and agrees to help for a major cut of the loot.

- Abuelita don't play. - And remember how the core four used to try to avoid Jasmine in Season 1? It turns out she actually is extremely cool and Ruby gets to see another side of her. - Yeah, she was always nice to him. Well, their relationship as friends continues to build. Jasmine even gets so excited about Ruby's dance prospects that she arranges a group of potential dance partners for him to pick from. - I'm sorry, this is the best I could do under such short notice. - And in the end, Ruby

picks Jasmine as his dance partner anyways. - Does that mean... - I wanna win the dance competition! - That you wanna see my third nipple? - Meanwhile, Jamal has taken Cesar in for the time being, but Jamal can be kind of an annoying roommate. - Just a little. - You're kidding. (shaver buzzes) - You're dreaming. It's just a really odd dream. - Well, Monse is also having a bit of housing dilemma because her estranged mom has asked her to come live out in the suburbs, which would mean leaving her

dad behind. He's not around a lot but he loves her. - You can't protect her when you're gone for weeks at a time. - Well, the night of the big school dance arrives, and sure enough, Ruby and Jasmine kick ass on the dance floor. (uptempo dance music) - You knew they would. - As they would, hello. - But not all is well in the school gym because Cesar finds out Monse wants to move to the suburbs, away from him, and gives her an ultimatum. - Shockingly, in this case, it doesn't work out and the two

break up before the dance is even over. - We're done! - Damn! - Mmm. I should also mention that Ruby is still dealing with the PTSD from the whole being shot and watching his friend die thing. The song that was playing at Olivia's quince, ♪ I been goin' through changes ♪ when they were shot comes on at the dance and Ruby has a panic attack and, shocker! It's Jasmine who brings him comfort. - Baby, it's okay. It's okay, you're not ready. - Soon Cesar is working with Jamal at his dad's barbecue re

staurant and super depressed about losing Monse. Monse, on the other hand, is out in the 'burbs and seems to be doing pretty damn good. - Back in Freeridge, there's a kink in the money cleaning plan. Abuelita's fingers look janky and she can't sew anymore. - (gasps) Could be carpal tunnel! Chicken pox, trigger finger, malaria! - I think it's arthritis. - Jamal decides to help her out since they're partners in crime and also, you know, compas. Unfortunately, she doesn't believe in doctors so they

have to go to the healer. - This healer, who happens to be Abeulita's arch-nemesis, does not seem to be like a suitable alternative to a doctor. (hocks and spits) - Ruby is really spiraling at this point. In an attempt to cheer him up, his older brother Mario and Spooky roust his ass up and take him to a party with all the samples. - Soon Ruby's getting all faded and the party ends up getting pretty wild. So wild that after Ruby freestyles on the mic he drunkenly causes, one, Mario to get punch

ed in the face by a girl... (thud) - Oh! - Damn. - And, two, the gang war that had been on hold to start up again. - Wait, what? Oh. I got it. - Let's go, dude. - We gotta go. (sighs) - Over at the barbecue restaurant as sad-ass Cesar, who is being a really wet blanket all the time now, hooks up with the cute new employee, Paula. - Dude, you always hookin' up with people. - But of course Monse texts him right afterwards so, well. (blows raspberry) - Well, by the way, it's only been a month now,

but Monse is a full-on suburb girl. - Jamal and Ruby even encourage her to stay there after visiting Brentwood and seeing how baller her life is there. - [Boys] Stay. - You serious? You're just gonna give me up that easily with no discussion or debate? - What's there to debate? I mean, you're livin' in a baller house with expensive fits, and it's safe. - But her real friends are in Freeridge. Her dad is there. Oh yeah, so is Cesar, but if you recall, he's not exactly popular with either one of t

he gangs at this current war. - Back in Brentwood, Monse has Ruby and Jamal over to dinner with some of her now rich friends, (catcall whistles) which is awkward. Really awkward. - [Jamal] Get the butt. - This is exhausting. - And Jasmine's arrival doesn't help things, nor does Jamal eating an entire jar of weed edibles. - You're fine, it's fine. - Then why are you makin' that face? - What face? - Monse! - If the night wasn't enough of a debacle, Monse finds out that her mom has been telling peo

ple she left Monse's dad because of abuse, and Monse is forced to call her out on this lie, defending her dad's character and eventually deciding she doesn't really need a selfish, lying mother in her life, anyway. - On the bright side, she realizes how amazing and supportive her father is and the two are even closer for the experience. - Mario's girlfriend, Amber, is getting super pregnant. Like it's almost on the way. - And because his mom seems really unexcited about the whole thing, Ruby tak

es over planning for a baby shower. - Thanks, Mom, I will be taking the baton. - No, no, uh-uh! Mom, Ruby can't take over! Remember the twins' christening? Dad's 40th? - Ruby's fancy festivities is in high gear again. - But things are really bad right now for Cesar who is homeless, hiding out from the Prophets and, torn up over his feelings for Monse, ends the hookup he had with his coworker. - Remember when you told me that Jamal was being haunted by little gnomes? - Wait, was he actually being

haunted? Or are the gnomes real? - Who knows? But Chivo is definitely messing around with him and he wants his gnomes back. (screams) - Back at the baby shower, everyone is getting really wasted, especially Ruby's mom. - But things get wilder when Amber reveals that her water just broke and the contractions are too far along to make it to the hospital. - Home delivery it is! - The baby comes out happy and healthy and, uh... - The baby is black. - Yes! - Realizing that the healer meant Amber was

the thing that didn't belong in the house, and the money is not cursed, Abuelita stops Jamal from burning it all just in the nick of time. - Wait. He was gonna burn the money? - He thought it was cursed which, again, curses aren't real. - Agree to disagree. - Well, anyways. - The party ends with the discovery of a single bullet placed on the front stoop of Ruby's house where Cesar has been staying, which is definitely ominous. - Well, generally the ideal amount of bullets on the front stoop is

none. - It turns out that Latrelle, the Prophet from Season 1 who shot Olivia and Ruby, has been spotted back in town. - Cesar is laying super low. - Monse needs to get some money for Cesar, who is at risk of a lot of bad stuff right now, and they decide to clean some of the Roller World cash using good ol' wire fraud. - Wire fraud, that's a felony. It carries at least five years. - I'm in. - Me too. - The plan is to wire the money to themselves using fake IDs, and Jasmine has the hookups, bring

ing them to Chivo's. - Yeah, the gnome guy. - Chivo agrees to make the IDs, but only if he can rename Jamal's ID so-- - Say hello to Lou Sassole, which, LOL. - What, I wasn't ready! - No do-overs. (laughs) - Realizing that Chivo's suburban house is a perfect safe house for Cesar, they convince Chivo to let Cesar crash there, but only after Jamal gives up the gnomie Juanita, who Jamal has grown close to. - Baby, this is not goodbye forever. Kay? It's just goodbye for now. - Cleaning the money is

going pretty well now that we have the fake IDs, but things have taken a bit of a dark turn when the Prophets roll up on Jamal, Ruby and Monse looking for Cesar. - Everyone shits their pants, basically. - Shit's gotten real thick. - They kind of threaten to kill everyone and this is a step too far for Cesar, who decides to take matters into his own hands, stealing Chivo's gun from the house safe and heading over to Latrelle's girlfriend's house. - The next morning, when Latrelle comes out of the

house, Cesar sneaks up and puts a pistol to Latrelle's dome. - Shoot me, bitch! (gun clicks) - Jammed! - Shit! - And now Cesar is alone in Prophets territory and really, truly screwed. (whistles) (distant whistles answer) - You one dead Santo. - I mean, he gets away but it doesn't help much because he really is out of options. - He eventually decides to run away, starting a new life somewhere without all the baggage of Freeridge. - Monse vows to go away with him, but he knows this isn't the rig

ht choice for her. So he tells her about hooking up with the barbecue join employee. Monse's crushed. - Go to hell! - And this helps her decide about going off to boarding school, so big changes all around. - Cesar shows up at the Prophet's trap house to broker a deal for his friends' safety. - Don't even think about it! Easy. It's 50 grand. - He spills the beans about his brother's gang, completely unaware that Spooky already paid the Prophets to take the green light off his back. The brothers

are screwed, until we see them driving away laughing. - Turns out this was all part of a ruse to pin the Roller World robbery on the Prophets, who are all arrested quickly afterwards, including the killer, Latrelle, who shot Ruby and killed Olivia. - Yeah, he's going away for a long time. - Walking home from school later, Monse tells the crew that she is going away to boarding school in New Hampshire, but they don't really believe her. - You left before. - Writing camp, Brentwood, this is shmuck

bait. You always come back. - Pissed, Monse storms away in anger, and turns around to see them all gone. Where did they go? And then, suddenly, she's gone too. - I'll tell you where they went, though. They got black-bagged and thrown into a van because this is the end of Season 2, baby! - What! - Again with the cliffhanger? Are you kidding me? - But you won't have to hold on much longer, 'cause Season 3 is dropping so, so, so, so, so, so soon, and I assume we will get the answers on this whole

kidnapping thing. - Welp. I'll see you soon.
