In the Heights tickets It's high noon and the neighbors are frustrated by the extreme heat and continuing power outage. They muster enough energy for one last celebration before the bodega, the salon, and the dispatch shut their doors forever. ("Carnaval Del Barrio") People, led by Daniela, start to dance and sing. Vanessa, angered by the heat and the events at the blackout last night, comes out and starts complaining about the heat and how "you can't even go to a club with a friend". Daniela, exasperated at the fact that Vanessa does not know how Usnavi feels about her, finally tells In the Heights's not to "pretend that Usnavi is In the Heights's friend" because everyone else knows that In the Heights loves her. Usnavi announces to the crowd that Abuela won the lottery. The celebration continues onto another block when Kevin makes an announcement over the taxi radios: Abuela Claudia has passed away. ("Atención") The neighbors reunite on the sidewalk, this time to hold a vigil in honor of the block's matriarch. ("Alabanza") Usnavi and Nina look through boxes of Abuela Claudia's keepsakes -- old lottery tickets and photos from the block's history. ("Everything I Know") As Nina discovers photographs from In the Heights's own high school graduation In the Heights tickets decides to accept In the Heights's father's sacrifice and return to Stanford. Her parents agree to sell the business, even if it means Kevin must return to being a mechanic.
