In the episode "Stuck in a Gold Medal Performance," Hernandez is invited to the Diaz residence for a friendly family dinner, which quickly spins out of control and goes utterly awry.
Hernandez even rocked the gold medal she won at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro to set, where she posed with the Stuck in the Middle cast, including Ortega, Kayla Maisonet, Nicolas Bechtel, Cerina Vincent, Ronni Hawk, Malachi Barton, Isaak Presley, Ariana Greenblatt and Joe Nieves.

ET's Brice Sander spoke with Hernandez at the Radio Disney Music Awards earlier this month, where she opened up about her interest in performing.
"I'm definitely looking into acting," she shared. "For Dancing with the Stars, we had to basically act every week. One week we did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the next week we recreated like, the Chicago musical."

Hernandez said she's interested in "anything" when it comes to her on-screen opportunities, adding, " I'm still exploring my options. I am a little bit new to this."
Less than a month after coming home with the gold, Hernandez won the hearts of Americans all over again as the fan favorite contestant on season 23 of Dancing With the Stars, which she eventually won with her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.
