When Shades was talking to Mariah about Mama Mabel and what the Stokes name stood for, it sounded really, really personal. It made me think that maybe little Hernan Alvarez came to Mama Mabel for protection from an abusive father figure? Maybe he had a little crush on Mama's gorgeous and unattainable granddaughter, who would never give him the time of day? She obviously doesn't remember him, but he remembers her.

Anything referencing their shared history would be awesome.
