Episode 4.3
[ Continuing from the previous episode...]
Dorina and Oman are arguing. Dorina tells him he's acting like a child. Oman replies by saying she's the one who's acting like a child, because she's totally unaware of what's going on around her, and she's totally unaware of his feelings.
Dorina demands an explanation but just then Adora and Bencho arrive from Rosamia's concert and Oman quickly leaves.
At the breakfast table, Barbara is gloating at the tabloid cover stories talking about Rosamia's concert being a flop. She tells Lavinia she did a great job at her own concert. She concludes that Lavinia doesn't need Rosamia at all.
Rita interjects, saying that Lavinia still got her start from Rosamia. Barbara disagrees.
Lavinia listens attentively as Barbara says she's been in showbiz for a long time and that it was just strategy on Rosamia's part that made her invite Lavinia to participate in her shows, because she knew Lavinia would bring in droves of young fans to prop up Rosamia's "ailing" career.
Rita obviously disagrees, but she cannot say anything. Lavinia begins to believe Barbara, even remarking that Barbara is probably right, because once she stopped working with Rosamia, the other singer's career started to decline. Rita becomes even more distressed by what she is hearing.
Barbara agrees with Lavinia's observation, and concludes that Rosamia was just using her. Once again Barbara says that Lavinia owes Rosamia nothing, and that Lavinia is obviously the best performer.
As Rita watches, Lavinia smiles; she is starting to believe that she achieved everything on her own.
Adora complains about Oscar's write-up in the tabloids about Rosamia's concert, saying he really has it in for her idol. Dorina asks if it's true that only a few people watched. Adora says what more can you expect when there's another concert that's free that same night? It's not a fair fight.
Dorina says to not worry, after all Adora really enjoyed. Adora says she truly did and remarks that Rosamia was so professional, that she performed as if she had an SRO audience.
Dorina says Lavinia's concert was also good, and Adora asks her how she could possibly know. Dorina is at a loss for a good explanation, and Bencho says it's only natural for Lavinia to have a good concert since she's the "Shining Star".
Oman is putting away his laundry when Dorina enters his room. Oman tells her she shouldn't just barge in unannounced. Dorina tells him she's been doing that all her life! She sits down and says she feels guilty about deceiving Adora about Lavinia's concert. She doesn't want Adora to be angry again. Oman tells her it's only right that she be guilty since she did something wrong.
Dorina demands to know what's going on, since he seems to still be mad at her. Oman says he's not mad at her, he's mad at himself because he can't say what he feels. Dorina thinks for a moment, then says she thinks she understands. She asks if this is about love? That he's afraid to admit his love?
Almost hopeful, Oman asks her if she can see how he feels.

Dorina climbs up on Oman's bunk bed and starts teasing him about being in love. Oman is uneasy and says nothing. Dorina says it's no wonder he's been so crabby lately, if he can't make progress with his crush. She tells him he should have told her about this. She could have helped him with the girl! She wants to know who she is and how he met her.
Oman tells her he doesn't want to tell her now because it's not the right time and the girl in question isn't ready yet anyway.
Oman shakes himself out of his depression and jumps out of bed and tells Dorina it's time they go.
Nico visits Lavinia at home and congratulates her on her successful concert. He presents her with a large bouquet of flowers. She asks him where he disappeared to in the middle of the concert last night.
Nico explains that one of the fans, Dorina, fainted and he brought her to the infirmary. Lavinia conceals her dismay and asks how Dorina is doing. Nico tells her she's okay now and that he took her back to her home. Lavinia tells him she'll make a point of sending Dorina flowers to help make her feel better.
Rosamia is at home, telling Zossimo that her savings were wiped out because she lost so much money in the concert. She asks for his help. He suggests that she go talk to Larry and ask for his forgiveness. He assures her that Larry is a good guy... that he's only doing what he thinks is best for her career. Besides, she has no choice anymore. It's time to swallow her pride and talk to Larry.
At the Pineda home, it's time for dinner, and Adora flips over her dinner plate to find a Rosamia CD. She thanks Dorina, saying Dorina is so sweet to give her a CD even though Adora had grounded her.
Rosamia sees Larry and asks to be allowed to come back to La Calma Recording. Larry curtly asks her if that's all she has to say. Rosamia apologizes to him also. Larry says okay and that she can leave. Rosamia says what about my career? Larry says I made my decision about you long ago and nothing has changed. Especially since your concert was a flop. Whether you're sorry or not, I don't care. Your career is still frozen.
Rosamia is at a loss for words, and she leaves quietly. Larry can't help but smile.
Nico appears at Dorina's home just as she's preparing vegetables and singing "Miss Na Miss Kita" at the top of her lungs. He approaches from behind her carrying a basket of fruit, and startles her when he compliments her singing.
She asks him what he's doing at her home, and he says that Lavinia's music video taping is nearby and he wanted to give her a basket of fruit to make sure she doesn't faint again. Dorina thanks him for his kindness, and Nico asks if she has also received the flowers from Lavinia. Dorina hesitates then says she hasn't received any. Nico says it was probably just delayed. He tells her that Lavinia intends to send her flowers because she's concerned.
Dorina is thrilled that Lavinia would be so sweet, and she goes on to tell Nico that he and Lavinia make such a perfect couple. Nico tells her she's a tease. Dorina asks him to wait while she gets him a drink. While she's inside her home, Nico gets on his cellphone, and instructs his assistant to have six dozen white roses delivered to Dorina Pineda but to make it look like they came from Lavinia.

Dorina is hard at work selling her sampaguita at church. She's eager to finish off the day's quota and tells Oman that Nico mentioned that Lavinia's music video taping is nearby.
Oman wants to know when she talked to Nico (feeling threatened?) and finally offers to finish selling the rest of Dorina's sampaguita so she can go to the shoot already. Dorina is thrilled and says her BF is really such a good guy. Oman is momentarilly hopeful when he says -- BF? Boyfriend? Dorina laughs and says -- Best Friend!
At the music video shoot, the fans have gathered behind a security line, but they're too far to see Lavinia. When a fan mentions that he's hungry, Dorina shows them the biscuits that she has brought along.
One of the video crew starts wrapping up the shoot and she agrees to give Dorina the address of the next location. The fans are at a loss as to how to go to the next location, and Dorina tells them she thinks she knows how.
In the next scene, we see all the fans on a jeepney. There's not enough room for all of them, so Dorina and one of her fellow fans clings to the back of the jeep. When one of her friends asks if she's okay, Dorina says she's fine and that it's no problem for her to do this because it's for her idol. "Lavinia, here I come!" she screams.

Oman is still selling Dorina's quota of sampaguita when Bencho runs up and tells him that Adora is right behind her. Bencho asks after Dorina because Adora is looking for her. Oman is unable to answer.
Dorina and her fellow fans have gathered at the next location but they still haven't seen Lavinia. They chant for her but she still doesn't appear.
Lavinia is getting ready to leave with Barbara and is unhappy to learn that the fans are still waiting for her outside.
Dorina is tired and sits down at the sidewalk to rest for a moment. She falls asleep.
Lavinia asks the video crew to not let the fans know that she's done, because she doesn't want them following her to her home -- it would be a loss of privacy. The crew member tells her to use the rear exit so she can sneak out.
Dorina wakes up to find that all the other fans have left and that it is quite late. When she gets home, Oman is there waiting for her. He tells her Adora knows she wasn't at the church.
Dorina enters the house and tries to greet Adora but Adora is angry and won't let Dorina greet her.

Dorina tells Adora that she was at Lavinia's shooting, but that she wasn't alone. Adora reminds her that she's still grounded. She asks Dorina what's going on with her, if she has a problem with Adora.
In tears, Dorina says she can't explain herself, but when she's with Lavinia, she's so happy and she enjoys herself so much when she's with her idol. She also confesses that she attended Lavinia's concert.
Adora tells her she's disappointed because Dorina doesn't appear to respect her as her mother. Adora tells her she's old enough to make her own decisions, that Adora cannot watch her 24 hours a day. Adora tells her it's up to Dorina what she wants to do.
Dorina and Oman are arguing. Dorina tells him he's acting like a child. Oman replies by saying she's the one who's acting like a child, because she's totally unaware of what's going on around her, and she's totally unaware of his feelings.
