Während Lizzy sich nach und nach immer besser ein lebt, kann sich Carlos, der sich als Künstler versucht, nur schwer mit den neuen Lebensumständen anfreunden und zieht sich immer mehr zurück.
Alex dagegen lernt schnell, aus seiner aktuellen Situation nur das Beste zu ziehen und er fühlt sich auch in dieser eher zusammengewürfelten Familie wohl. Er entwickelt außerdem telekinetische Fähigkeiten und verliebt sich zum ersten Mal. Doch Carlos und Lizzy entfremden sich immer mehr voneinander. Nur Anita (Toni Chapparo)die Freundin von Mitbewohner Jürgen (Joachim Paul Assböck), scheint einen Draht zu Carlos zu haben – das wiederum passt Alex überhaupt nicht.
