Acapulco Season 4 finale, titled Never Gonna Give You Up, aired on Apple TV+ on September 17, 2025. The episode opened in 1986, a month after the Miss Universe pageant, showing Máximo and Julia balancing their relationship and careers. Presently, Hugo returned for the reopening of Las Colinas and inquired about Julia.

When Julia secured an apprenticeship at the House of Dior in Paris, her bond with Máximo began to unravel. The news arrived at the same instant he prepared to propose, so the scene that was supposed to define their love reshaped itself into confrontation.

Julia laid out her devotion to fashion and her determination to follow that road. Máximo, unable to mask his dismay, demanded that she place him first, and a rift opened. The exchange grew sharper as both clung to their ambitions, with no room for concession.

Julia declared that her future could not be surrendered for Acapulco, leaving him shattered. The separation came not from the absence of affection but from ambitions that collided without a solution. What unfolded demonstrated how a single revelation can reroute lives, even when two people remain bound by care for one another.

Máximo did not stop Julia at the airport because he realized that doing so would only hold her back. After the breakup, he arrived at the terminal and saw her running to catch her flight to Paris.

For a moment, he felt the urge to call out, to tell her everything he had failed to say. But as he got closer, memories of their argument resurfaced. He remembered her words about his selfishness and her lifelong dream of working in fashion.

He knew stopping her would mean asking her to abandon her future. He chose to let her go, even though it broke his heart. This decision was not about giving up on love but about giving her the freedom she deserved. Máximo left the airport quietly, carrying the weight of what he lost but also accepting that her happiness could not come from staying with him.


Acapulco Season 4: Ricardo Vera’s offer changes Máximo’s career

Máximo accepted Ricardo Vera’s job offer after losing Julia and saying goodbye to Sara. Returning to Las Colinas, he found Ricardo waiting with a proposal to join his international resort project.

Ricardo offered him a 30% raise and the role of Chief Operating Officer, with the additional promise of 5% ownership if he came aboard. At that point, Máximo had little reason to remain at Las Colinas. Julia was gone, Sara had left for New York, and his carefully planned proposal had fallen apart.

The offer represented not just money but also a new beginning. It was a chance to leave behind the memories of what he had lost and start building his professional legacy. Though difficult, he agreed and set his path toward becoming the wealthy man seen in the present. That single decision marked the moment his career truly began to expand beyond Acapulco.

Máximo and Julia reunited in the present after decades apart, when he finally admitted his regrets. Through Hugo, Julia learned something she had never known, that Máximo once planned to propose. The revelation reframed how she saw their breakup and the future they might have shared. When they met again, Máximo acknowledged he had been wrong, confessing that his vision of happiness had been selfish because it never accounted for her own ambitions.

He apologized and made it clear that he now valued her dreams as much as his own. He handed her a blank sheet of paper, saying they could build their future without rigid plans. Julia listened, accepted his apology, and kissed him as fireworks lit up the sky above the reopened Las Colinas. The reunion closed the circle on their story, tying the past and present together in one moment.
