The episode entitled "Mexico" is the ninth episode of the first season of the television series Party of Five. The episode originally aired on November 10, 1994. In "Mexico," the Salinger siblings, Charlie, Bailey, Julia, and Claudia, go on a spontaneous road trip to Mexico with their grandfather Jacob, who they have not seen in several years. After their parents died in a car accident, the siblings were left in the care of each other and their grandfather, who was not very involved in their lives.

As the family drives across the border, they argue and bicker with each other, revealing their individual frustrations and emotional baggage. Julia and Charlie fight over their responsibilities to each other and their siblings, while Bailey complains about the constant pressure of being the oldest sibling and taking care of everyone. Claudia, the youngest sibling, is upset because she feels left out and unimportant to her older siblings.

When they arrive in Mexico, they check into a hotel and explore the town, where they meet a local family. The Salinger siblings are struck by how different the local family's life is from theirs. They realize how privileged they are and that their problems are relatively minor compared to the challenges faced by many families in Mexico.

As they spend time with the local family, the Salingers begin to open up to each other and share their feelings and emotions. Julia and Charlie reconcile their differences and agree to help each other out more. Bailey admits that he sometimes feels overwhelmed with his responsibilities but also understands that he needs to step up for his siblings. Claudia expresses her desire to be included and involved more in the family's decisions.

The family's experience in Mexico teaches them to appreciate their family and each other more. They return home with renewed respect and understanding for each other. As the episode ends, they reflect on their trip and how it has helped them grow closer as a family.

In conclusion, "Mexico" is a poignant episode that explores family dynamics, sibling relationships and responsibility. The episode's themes of love, family, and forgiveness are universal and relatable, making it a moving and engaging installment of Party of Five.
