"Summer of Primos" is the second segment of the premiere episode of the Disney Channel animated series Primos.
Synopsis[]
Perplexed by Bibi's dramatic scheme, Tater tries to get the primos to sign a room contract.
Plot[]
Tater recaps that she wanted to have the summer to herself, but her overly sunny mother, Bibi decided to invite her primos (cousins) to come and stay. To make matters worse, they will all be staying in Tater and Nellie's room, meaning that Tater won't be able to have any time to herself. Nellie resigns herself to embracing their new living arrangement, but Tater wants to ensure that she will have some peace of mind. Realizing that the primos have not moved in just yet, she decides to enact a roommate agreement of some kind so that they won't bother her. Nellie in the meantime joins "Tio-Con" to get out of doing bellhop duty.
Tater creates the agreement and goes to every primo, having them sign without looking at them, and being forced to carry their things upstairs, leaving them in the hallway. Just as Tater gets the last one to sign, they is confronted by all of them who are angered by the contents that basically prevent them from doing anything at all. Tater holds their luggage hostage while Gordita breaks the lock on the door (the combination was Tater's SSN) and locks Tater out of her room. Lucita is sent out to get their luggage back, but Tater overcomes her cuteness. Big Nacho reveals that they have her diary, leaving Tater devastated.
Tater sneaks into her room, via the vents, but is caught. When the primos realize that their luggage is unguarded, Tater grabs her diary, only to once again get kicked out of her room. She comes to realize that the primos did not open her diary and she is left to sulk by playing Diplomats & Domains by herself. Gordita comes out and begins playing with her and is soon joined by the rest of the primos are excitedly watch. Tater finally relents on the roommate agreement and the primos reveal that they built a hovel for her in her room so that she can have alone time. When Nellie and the adults arrive and see the mess, they play another round of Diplomats & Domains to decide who will clean the hall.

Trivia[]
- This episode, along with "Summer of Tater", "Summer of Quehaceres", and "Summer of La Muñeca", leaked online early on May 31, 2024. Because of this, Lucita was still referred to as Cookita and the family's hometown is Terremoto Heights instead of Hacienda Hills.
- Diplomats & Domains title is an obvious nod to Dungeons & Dragons while the gameplay sounds similar to Risk.
- In the original leak, the game was called Dictators & Domains. In fact, the subtitles of the YouTube upload still bear the original leak's name.
- Twisty Knob Drawing is a reference to the Etch A Sketch.
- Tater's fantasy at the beginning has her imagining herself as an angry monster resembling Chernabog.
- When the primos allow Tater to use their things, Lita exclaims, "... and my axe!" This is a reference to Gimli from The Lord of the Rings.
- Tater's roommate agreement might be a reference to the series The Big Bang Theory, where the character of Sheldon Cooper is obsessed with notarizing.
