Warning! This article contains spoilers for On Call.
Alex Diaz's imprisoned brother in On Call lands in trouble after Diaz and Harmon take down a killer, raising questions about why Diaz's brother was in prison in the first place. In On Call's overarching storyline, Alex Diaz's brother has a relatively small role and barely shows up for a few seconds on the screen when Alex video calls him. However, he eventually becomes a part of a major story beat from the series when Diaz and Harmon take down Delgado's killer.
When it comes to Officer Harmon's family, the Amazon Prime Video detective showdoes not reveal much. It only features a scene in which she tells Diaz she got divorced. For Alex Diaz, however, the show takes a different approach. It not only reveals that his partner walked out on him soon after he started working as a police officer but also introduces viewers to his mother and brother. Both characters also briefly appear in the show's second half after Diaz and Harmon arrest a powerful criminal.

Diaz Believes His Brother Did Not Deserve The Punishment He Got

She also tells him that he is not his brother, which surprises Diaz because he does not expect anyone in the police department to know about his family's criminal history. Harmon reveals that she did a background check on him and learned his brother had been arrested for an armed robbery after she was informed she would be mentoring him during his probation.
Amazon Prime Video's On Call walks through a compelling and realistic police procedural while also featuring memorable performances from cast members.

He tries to defend his brother by claiming that the police "buried him" for making a mistake. Owing to this, even Diaz's mother seems to have a problem with him deciding to join the police force and is hostile towards Officer Harmon when she meets her for the first time. She firmly believes that her son was wrongfully accused of an armed robbery and did not deserve the punishment he got.
