Episode 4.1
(Continuing from last week...)
Dorina is still waiting when the maid comes out to throw out the trash, and also throws away the sampaguita flowers that Dorina had just given. Dorina is upset when the maid tells her that Lavinia ordered her to dispose of the flowers. Dorina defends Lavinia, saying she'd never do that.
The maid tells Dorina disdainfully that she really has no clue. She reveals it all: that Lavinia doesn't like Dorina at all, and that she's doing everything she can to avoid Dorina. They're not friends at all, because Dorina is just a fan and Lavinia is already sick of dealing with her. Dorina is shocked, but she still comes to Lavinia's defense.
She is still arguing with the maid when the village security personnel come along, and the maid tells them that Dorina is causing trouble. The security guards tell her to leave.
Emilio overhears other prisoners planning a jailbreak. One of them reports that they've already smuggled in knives. Emilio hides until the coast is clear, but just as he leaves, one of the plotters sees him heading away.
Lavinia and Barbara are backstage at Lavinia's last-minute booking when a staffer comes in and asks for her minus one. Lavinia is shocked that they will proceed without a rehearsal or even a soundcheck. The staffer says the audience has been waiting for quite a while so there's not enough time.
Barbara reminds the staffer of the payment, and a check for P200,000 is provided by the staffer. Barbara signs the contract, and is shocked when the staffer tells her she is welcome to go around the hotel shops and charge everything to the account of their mysterious customer. Predictably, Barbara cannot resist, and she goes off to do her shopping spree, leaving Lavinia alone in the dressing room.
Lavinia performs her three songs, and the room is darkened and she can't see the audience. When she finishes her set, the lights come on and she sees Nico standing alone in the room applauding her performance. She comes down from the stage and Nico tells her "I told you I wouldn't stop until we go out on a date". Lavinia is angry at the thought of having been paid P200K to go on a date. She tells him she's never been so insulted in her life, slaps him, then runs out of the room with Nico chasing after her.

Nico catches up with her and asks for a chance to explain. She's in tears when she tells him his actions make her believe he thinks she can be bought. Nico confesses that he did this only because he's insecure, that he has done everything he could think of to win her affection and this was the only thing he could think of, since he knew her career was important to her. He asks for another chance.
Lavinia is touched by his confession of insecurity, and she surprises him when she suddenly asks if he has prepared any food, since she hasn't had anything to eat yet.
Dorina sneaks into her home to find Adora and Bencho already asleep. She climbs into bed without waking either of them. Just then, Adora wakes and sees that she's home. She calls Dorina's name, but Dorina does not respond. Adora assumes that she's already asleep and goes back to sleep herself.
During breakfast the next morning, Adora asks how late she got back, and Dorina lies and says she didn't get in too late. Adora apologizes for not waiting up for her, saying she had a lot of customers at her lugawan the day before, and had fallen asleep before Dorina returned. Dorina feels guilty.
Lavinia is in a good mood when she sees Barbara that morning, prompting Barbara to ask if she and Nico are now a couple. Lavinia says no, saying she would seem cheap if she had been that easy. Lavinia says she had a good time with Nico, that he was fun to be with. Barbara tells her "I told you so" and reminds Lavinia that she should have listened to her advice in the first place.
Lavinia asks Barbara if they should return Nico's money, because she doesn't want Nico to think that she could be bought as a date for P200,000. Barbara becomes upset and informs Lavinia that she has already encashed the check, and that only a lunatic would think of returning the money. In tears, Barbara tells Lavinia that it had taken her three years cleaning toilets to earn that kind of money just to support her daughters. Lavinia apologizes and the two of them make up.

Dorina is in school, sitting alone looking worried when two of her classmates join her. Dorina says she feels guilty for lying to her mother about coming home late the night before. Her friends downplay her lie, saying it's nothing -- after all, there were no drugs, liquor, or boys involved.
They ask about her visit to Lavinia, and Dorina says she wasn't able to see her. She also asks her friends if they're going overboard with their fanaticism, and they say no. She tells them that she thinks Lavinia may be getting irritated with her because of what her maid said. They tell her the maid is probably just jealous because Dorina and Lavinia are friends. Dorina says she hopes so.
Oman tells his two love advisors (the old chessmaster and his wife) that he now has a plan for "Pinto" -- his code for DOOR-ina. He says he plans to bring her someplace where no one knows them so he can have uninterrupted time alone with her, and finally have a chance to confess his feelings for her.
Nico is visiting Lavinia at her home and notices right away that she's not happy. She excuses it by saying she's just tired. He suggests that she take some time off, to just relax and not think about work for a while. He takes her hand and invites her to go out and have some fun, to go wherever the wind takes them and just enjoy themselves. Lavinia hesitates at first, causing Nico to conclude that she will say no. Lavinia surprises him by smiling and saying, "Let's go."
The scenes that follow are a montage of Nico and Lavinia's. They obviously enjoy each other's company and the attraction between them is obvious. (Note: Pogi points to Nico for his red convertible).
-- commercial break --
Oman learns that Dorina doesn't plan to visit Lavinia that day because she's not sure if the guards will let her in after her behavior the other day. He says it's no wonder she looks sad. But he's got an idea that will cheer her up -- they'll go out together tomorrow and it will be his treat.
Dorina asks him why he's treating and he counters by asking why a reason is needed? He testily tells her to stop asking questions and to just go with him tomorrow. Dorina tells him there's no need to be crabby, and agrees to go with him. After Dorina enters her home, Oman can't resist dancing around in anticipation, much to the amusement of one of his neighbors.
Emilio is told that his application for parole will be denied, because they won't be able to keep everyone quiet about the scuffle he was involved in a few weeks ago.
Oman breaks open his piggy bank in preparation for his big date with Dorina. He smiles in anticipation.
-- commercial break --
Rosamia is busy preparing for her concert when Nico arrives. Apparently, she has invited him to discuss the possibility of Nico helping her to produce her concert, because she cannot handle it on her own anymore.
Nico appears uncomfortable at this news, and he reluctantly reveals that he won't be able to help her, because he is producing Lavinia's concert, which Larry has scheduled for the exact same night as Rosamia's own concert.
Rosamia is surprised, but she gamely wishes him luck, and Nico wishes her luck as well. When Nico leaves, Rosamia gives into worry and sits down at her piano.
Larry stresses to Lavinia that this is a make-or-break concert. Lavinia promises to do her best, and Larry says that's not enough. Her career and his reputation rests on the success of her concert. He demands her promise that she will end Rosamia's career that night.

Side note: the lyrics of the song playing during their Nico and Lavinia's date:
Wait Forever
Composed by Jude Thaddeus Gitamondoc,
as performed by Gary Valenciano
From the album "Relevance"
Standing on a great divide
I feel the sudden need to fly
Underneath the open sky
and the river down below
I can keep on runnin' now
I can keep on cheating death and yet somehow
It all ends up the same
And I don't want to be the one who's blamed
And you see that I don't really have a choice at all
If only for the taste of flight
I'd gladly take the fall
So I say... I love you
I don't wanna wait forever
just to say... I need you
Doesn't really have to matter
If it really matters anything to you.
Full lyrics of the song are currently available at Gary V's official site.
