In Mayans MC Season 4, fans know something that Miguel does not. Felipe Reyes was romantically involved with Dita Galindo many years ago when he went under the name Ignacio Cortina. He is actually Miguel’s biological father, making Miguel half brothers with Angel and EZ.

At one point in season 3 episode 5, it seemed like Felipe was going to come clean to Miguel. The two characters sat down face to face. However, instead of revealing the truth, Felipe told Miguel that Dita was always loyal to her husband Jose. It was an emotional scene that Miguel actor Danny Pino looked forward to immensely.

“Edward James Olmos has been a hero,” the actor told Gamespot after the episode aired. “I prayed that one day [that] I would be able to work with him. And so the fact that not only am I working with him, but that our characters are related in some way, to say that I’m salivating is probably an understatement.”

Will Miguel ever learn the truth about Felipe?

As of Mayans MC Season 4, Miguel, Angel, and EZ are unaware that they are related. The new season caught back up with Miguel in episode 4, revealing that he is hiding out at the convent where his aunt lives. In episode 5, Miguel talks with his aunt about Dita.

She recalls that Jose wouldn’t touch Dita after their first son died. Dita came to the convent upset, thinking that she would never have another child again. She cried and prayed, but when she returned home she wrote and said that she had miraculously become pregnant. Miguel may realize there is more to this story than meets the eye, but he hasn’t gotten a solid answer yet.
