Both his sisters Jazmin and Alicia try to comfort him but fail because of the tension they have with one another. The conflict between the two sisters makes CJ feel even more melancholic and uneasy. In an effort to eat peacefully as a family again and cheer their brother up both Alicia and Jazmin are unable to sustain their differences and create an argument at the table that causes CJ to burst. Their love for their brother and desire to make CJ happy induce both sisters to finally put their differences aside and comfort their brother as they continue their dinner without any conflict for the sake of their brother’s happiness.
