Alicia didn't even want a quinceañera party, but her best friend Sarah forced her into it. Worst of all, the big present from her aunt is a creepy doll. But what her aunt failed to mention is that it is a magical doll that is determined to create the quinceañera of Alicia's dreams, even if it destroys both the party and her friendship with Sarah. After this episode we will take a few weeks off and return with a hilarious new series that will run all summer long called Quentin Manning: Detective for Justice.
