Episode 11.5

Barbara and Lavinia meet Oscar, who tells them that Dorina is adopted. Lavinia says that information isn't damaging enough -- in fact, if people learned that Dorina is adopted, they will feel sorry for her and it will only improve her standing. She stops Barbara from paying Oscar for the information. She tells him he should come up with something more damaging before he can expect payment.

Oscar is insulted. When Lavinia goes ahead to the car, Oscar warns Barbara that he knows a lot of information about the Arguelles family... so she should warn Lavinia not to anger him. Barbara pacifies him by giving him the money she had originally planned to give him.

Minda and Adora consult a spiritist who confirms their suspicions that a hex has been laid against Adora by Barbara. But it's obvious she's a charlatan who is just preying on their ignorance. Adora eventually realizes what's going on and drives the spiritist away.

At home, Barbara reprimands Lavinia for insulting Oscar, and tells her that she's gaining weight. Lavinia rebels by eating a huge serving of ice cream in the kitchen.

Dorina arranges a rendezvous between Emilio and Rosamia at a restaurant in a nearby hotel. She pleads with Rosamia to at least talk with Emilio. The estranged couple reluctantly sit together at the dinner table, while Dorina goes outside to order a bottle of wine for them. Emilio asks Rosamia if his 17 years in jail for a crime he did not commit is not enough punishment for the way he lost their daughter. Rosamia tells him the only way she can ever forgive him is if he were to find their missing daughter. Emilio tells her she should get her life back in order if she hopes to one day be reunited with Emilia Rose. Rosamia becomes more angry - she tells him her life was destroyed when he lost their daughter.

Rosamia gets up to leave and on her way out, she warns Dorina to stay out of her personal life if Dorina wants to retain their friendship.

Emilio and Dorina talk about the aborted dinner. Emilio asks her not to try anything like that again, and Dorina is all apologetic. Emilio also asks her to not tell Adora about what happened. Dorina agrees.

Oman notices one of his neighbors passing by in a dress shirt and tie, and asks if it's possible for him to borrow those clothes. Meanwhile, Gary is at his bedroom, trying on different shirts to try to get the best look possible.

Barbara finds Rita sitting alone at home, staring out the window. She finally takes pity on her daughter, and tells Rita that she will allow her to return to school, on the condition that Rita always returns directly home afterwards. Rita gratefully hugs Barbara and thanks her profusely.

Lavinia comes down the stairs wearing a backless top, which Barbara finds unacceptable. She orders Lavinia to change, but Lavinia refuses. Lavinia tells Barbara that she's leaving now and that it's up to Barbara whether or not she wants to accompany her. Lavinia walks off.

The next day, Dorina finds Adora drinking bittermelon juice, saying it's ideal for warding off hexes. When Adora asks Dorina about the dinner she went to last night, Dorina evades giving a straight answer.

Later, Adora confronts Emilio about the dinner. She asks if he's planning to renege on his promise... and challenges him to reveal the truth to Dorina right now.
