An overall interesting episode laden with touching scenes and complete with a happy ending. However, there are several instances of departure from logic. While in Mando's house, Tony notices a stack of postcards apparently sent by his parents who are holidaying in Mexico. He realizes things are amiss upon seeing that they had San Remo postmarks. I suggest that Tony didn't need to look that closely since they had to all have US postage stamps which could not be mailed in Mexico.
Later we learn that his parents had died three months ago in a car accident in Mexico. At that point, Mexican authorities would have contacted US agencies regarding the fatalities if for no other reason than to determine what to do with the remains. The game would have been up right then when officials had to have discovered a house full of minors. Similarly, judging by their nice home, the parents would almost certainly have had life insurance that would not have paid out directly to minors. Again, game over. And this thing regarding a family of minors isn't over yet. When the police arrested Mando, a minor, for murder, the first thing they would have done is inform his parents, not his younger sister. Once more, game over.
Oh well, it was entertaining anyway.
