in the original, Peggy is eating a carrot and talking about the benefits of healthy eating, while the rest of the family wolfs down cereal. Al then asks the kids what they want to eat for dinner, with Kelly suggesting pizza, while Bud chimes in and request meatballs. Peg then goes to say that she'll be eating grapefruit.
In this version, Poncho and the kids are eating cereal, but with more sugary extras, as he is seen adding in chocolate syrup while Alexa adds hazelnut spread into her bowl. They also eat other pastries, as the kids are heard saying "Doughnuts", while Poncho is shown with a mini muffin and adding jam to it. Alexa then suggests pizza for dinner like Kelly did, but instead of meatballs, Jonathan requests Chilaquiles. Afterward, Angie mentions that she will have chayote instead. Unlike the original, Poncho then mocks her by asking the kids if pizza with extra cheese or chayote sounds more delicious, causing everyone to point and laugh at Angie, who then gets up and leaves the table.
When Poncho arrives at work, Luis is shown wearing a neck brace and a cast on his arm. He then asks Poncho if he had found Angie in bed with another man, how would he react. He tells his co-worker that he would at least break his arm, causing Luis to realize that the husband of the women he slept with wasn't exaggerating. In the original, Luke asks the same question, but he did not have any injuries.
Unlike the original, where Luke gets Al and Steve to give Sandy (Season 1) their opinion on her no bra look as heterosexual men, Luis convinces the female customer that Poncho and Esteban are actually a gay couple and would be more neutral when giving their opinion on her no bra look. After giving their approval, Esteban continues to hold Poncho's hand even as she prepares to leave and then rest his head on Poncho's shoulder, despite him being clearly disgusted by it.
Near the end, instead of the cream filled pastry that Al shoved into Peg's mouth, Poncho gives her a concha (Mexican sweet bread)

In the original, Al was looking through a catalog to find a fishing pole that he wants to buy, while in this version, Poncho uses his phone to look for a retro style jersey from his favorite futbol / soccer team, Atlante F.C.. He tries to justify his desire to buy it, claiming that its what real fans of the sport buy to show their affection.
Esteban explains that Marliu needs the car for her "reunion unidas contra el patriarcado" (united meeting against the patriarchy). In the original, Steve simply said it was her "women's group meeting".
After Paco tells Esteban that it is his poker night and can't give him a ride home, Angie sarcastically thanks him for another Friday night where she has to stay home instead of going out as a couple.

In the original, Al tries to defend his choice to play poker, by telling Peg that she really does not want to go out on a Friday night when every other couple is already going out that night.

During their talk about the perfect woman, Poncho mentions Colombian singer-songwriter, Shakira.
The Mexican version of E.J. in this episode has to leave early because his wife asked him to take her to a romantic film. In the original, he was taking her to a ballet performance.

Poncho ends up winning 15,000 pesos (roughly $812 US). In the original, Al ends up winning $300, which in 2025, would be about $856.

They proceed to stop and giggle for a moment as they hear Steve ask for his money before resuming their activity. When the now upset Marilú asks where the money is, Steve tells her that she looks beautiful, which causes her to smile and the two share a kiss outside the Olivera residence.
In the adaptation of "Peggy Sue Got Work", Angie works as a greeter at the bank where Marilu and Steve work at instead of the clock department at Muldin's.
The stewardesses are friends instead of twin sisters like Sherry Cherry and Terry Cherry and are originally from Spain. They also arrive at Luis' apartment in their stewardess outfits.

In the original, Kelly comes in with the newspaper and sarcastically asks who put her in the want ad, describing her as a "cheap, blonde, 16 looks 30, seeks job out of state, no reading or writing please". In this version, Alexa comes downstairs with her phone and points out the classified ad that has her personal number that reads: "edecan de supermercado sin experiencia busca trabajo. entre mas lejos de la ciudad, mejor. analfabeta professional". (Supermarket cashier with no experience is looking for a job. The further from the city, the better. Professionally illiterate).
Unlike the original, the Mexican counterpart of Luke Ventura, Luis, is still working at the store.
When Poncho decides to leave, he and Luis have a touching goodbye, where Poncho hands him his shoehorn and keys, and asks Luis to remember him whenever he finds himself dealing with a fat and ugly customer is bothering him or is trying to return worn out shoes past the exchange date. As he finally exits and the guests shut the door on him, he stops to see everyone else celebrating except for Luis.
After Gary arrived, Al took him to the backroom to pay him off, revealing that he is actually Al's friend, Nick.

After Estaban arrives and they watch her dance in the kitchen, she tells them that a minimum tip for her is 1000 pesos. Although Estaban pays her a tip, Poncho slides the money into her underwear, due to Estaban being too nervous to do so. After Marilu catches Estaban staring at the repair woman, she also complains to her as well, saying that she did not expect this type of service. The repair woman then leaves and tells Poncho to call her again.
when Estaban arrives at the Olivares in the morning to apologize, Poncho jokes that he looks like "cristo de iztapalapa" (The Christ of Iztapalapa) with his beard, in reference to the Passion Play of Iztapalapa.
Instead of Bud bringing home a hitchhiking art student named Tiffany, Alexa invites her Brazilian yoga teacher to come and stay with them.
Poncho rejects Alexa's request and suggest that her teacher can pay for a place to stay at. Alexa then points out that her teacher can't because she is a "free spirited anti-capitalist".
After meeting the teacher, Poncho becomes smitten with her, much to Angie's annoyance. Though it is revealed that her teacher came with her "spiritual partner", Rafi, who Angie becomes attracted to.
Esteban tells Poncho and Angie that his Valentines' Day / wedding anniversary gift for Marilu is bringing over a mariachi band to serenade her.
Near the end, Angie convinces Poncho to finally say "I love you" by opening their bedroom closet and pulling out a tray of food from Carl's Jr., consisting of a Super Star Cheeseburger, Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger, fries and onion rings.

Although the original MWC episode did not feature Luke Ventura, in this version, his Mexican counterpart, Luis, is shown talking to the Olivares family before exiting the store.
The guard dog that chases Alexa at the end is named after the biblical figure, Sansón, similar to how the original guard dog was named Satan.

In the electrocution game, both Esteban and Poncho become unconscious from the shock. The host then tries to pull Angie away from the switch, but she fights him off and continues moving the switch as she approaches the maximum voltage, causing Poncho's headgear to explode and catch fire. As the host demands to cut the live transmission feed, Alexa celebrates that they have a new car, while the audience is horrified at what they just saw.
Instead of Peggy reading the newspaper in the opening scene, Angie is on her smartphone, as Alexa tries to get her attention to make breakfast.
The book that Bud original read "Know Your Mouse" is changed to "como domar a tu raton" (How to tame your Mouse).

After being sprayed with poison, Esteban is unable to get up and lays on the floor, claiming to see the ghost of his grandmother, before attempting to hug Poncho, believing that he was Marilu.
In the original, despite being weakened from the poison, Steve was able to sit on the couch with Al and drink beer as Al told a story from his high school football years.
Poncho and Esteban went to a casino instead of a horse racetrack and won 20,000 pesos.
In the original episode, Al is forced to give Steve $50 in order to not tell Marcy about the winnings and calls him a "weenie", while in this version Poncho attempts to give Esteban the money to be quiet about the winnings without asking. He rejects Poncho's offer, claiming that he is not corruptible. Poncho then increases the amount and tells him that is for church donations next Sunday, to which Esteban accepts, claiming that he is but a humble servant of the Lord.
When Poncho finally gives his money out to the rest of the family, the kids are given 500 pesos each while Angie gives herself 2000 pesos, while in the original, Peg kept the cash while her and kids bragged about what they would buy.
At the end, similar to how Al claimed to Marcy that Steve was holding his money, Poncho does the same when Marilu confronts Esteban about the extra money. Though, Poncho then gives them a hug to thank them for holding "his" money, before giving Esteban some of the money back, telling him to donate it to the church on his behalf. After they leave, Poncho then looks up and thanks God for letting him keep the money.
