Episode 7.5
Rita chides Lavinia for the way she treated Nico at the Zoni launch. She tells Lavinia she has changed, has become hardened. She pleads with Lavinia to go back to the way she used to be: simple, compassionate, incapable of hurting anyone. Lavinia says she's the way she is now because that's the only way she can survive the fight. Now that she's on top, she will not accept being anything less.
Rosamia negotiates with a potential buyer of her videoke business, but the best offer she gets is P800,000 even though she includes her Mercedes Benz in the deal.
Dorina learns from Nico that many advertisers and event producers will be sponsoring her upcoming concert. Dorina assures him that the band is rehearsing daily. Nico tells her Zossimo is also hard at work sourcing materials for the band's new album. He says they might also include some of the band's original work and asks where the rest of the band is. Dorina is embarrassed and reveals that she doesn't know.
Libby informs Larry, Lavinia, and Barbara that one of Lavinia's bookings in Cebu was canceled, and that Dorina now has the booking. Barbara tells Larry to fix the situation. Lavinia tells them she knows what needs to be done.
Dorina asks the band why they weren't at the meeting earlier since Nico was looking for them. Jay says why bother since she's the only one they're interested in. Chris says if they work on an album, it will have Dorina's picture on the cover with the rest of them just being behind her -- as always. In the ensuing argument, Jay quits the band and Chris follows him out.
Nico is still working at his desk when Lavinia arrives. She tries to seduce him into dropping Dorina and working instead with Larry so they can be together. Nico sees through her ploy and tells her he won't break his word to Dorina. He tells her he's not stupid and that she can drop the act, and shouldn't cheapen herself. Lavinia slaps him in response and vows to fight him and Dorina all the way to the end.
Zossimo is pleased to learn that Lavinia and Larry are worried. Nico gets a call from Dorina and learns the band has walked out. Nico meets with Dorina, Gary, and Jack and reveals that Zoni really only wanted Dorina and that she was the one who asked to include them. Nico tells them they have to find a replacement for Jay and Chris. Jack knows just who to call.
Jack calls Rita and asks if she wants to join the band. Barbara overhears and asks about the call. Rita explains that she's got an offer to be a guitarist on a one-shot-deal, and Barbara gives her permission. Jack and Rita arrange to meet.
Rosamia learns that the buyer her estate agent previously found has already purchased a different property. Left with no choice, Rosamia calls the man who offered P800,000 for her videoke.
Nico gives Jay and Chris until the end of the week to return or else they're out. Rita arrives and gets thanks from Jack for being a lifesaver. She tells him she's worried because the venue is so much larger than what she expected. She is even more worried when she learns that the singer of the band is Dorina Pineda.
Dorina greets Rita and Jack is surprised that the two women know each other. Nico recognizes Rita but says nothing. At Rita's request, Dorina agrees not to say a word about Rita playing on the band to anyone, even Lavinia.
For the rest of the day, Jack and Rita rehearse together. Jack's interest in her is obvious. Gary and Dorina also spend time together. Nico arrives with food only to find Gary already giving Dorina something to eat. Gary also produces his cough elixir when Dorina starts having trouble with her throat.
At home, Lavinia tells Barbara and Larry that she was unable to convince Nico to drop Dorina. Larry says they having nothing to worry about -- Nico is just an amateur in this industry and Dorina is just a fan. And Nico is too straight, he won't make any under the table deals just to win.
Just then, Rita rushes in with a guitar. Barbara asks her where the performance of her band will be. Rita says she's just a substitute and that Barbara shouldn't waste her time by going. She escapes by saying goodnight and rushing upstairs.
Rosamia turns over ownership of the videoke and the keys to her Benz for P800,000. The new owner drives away in her Benz, leaving Rosamia standing alone in front of her videoke, which now has a new sign "under new management"
The band's rehearsals go well. While they take a break, Zossimo brings an ipod and asks them to listen to the songs and choose which ones they'd like to include on their upcoming album. They pick one in particular -- "Sana'y Maghintay ang Walang Hanggan" -- and learn that it is the last song that Rosamia composed, and which Larry never bothered to listen to. Zossimo tells them he'll visit Rosamia at her videoke later to get her permission to use the song. Dorina asks if she can go with him and he says yes.
As they listen to the rest of the song, Rosamia has left the videoke and is walking along the waterfront by herself.
