Episode 14.5
Dorina's concert begins. She performs "Felt So Right" to the applause and enjoyment of her audience. Adora, Oman, and Bencho are seated in front.
As Dorina sings, Rosamia tearfully makes her way into the audience and Emilio follows her. Emilio quietly tells her that he cannot bear for Dorina to lose everything she has worked so hard for. He tells Rosamia to look at the audience, at all the people who admire their daughter. He says he doesn't want them to wreck her future. Rosamia tells him that she's still Dorina's mother, and that they had no right to keep Dorina away from her. She leaves him and walks to the seat that Dorina has reserved for her in the front row and sits down, still crying.
Onstage, Rita notices the empty seat that is reserved for her mother. As Dorina and the band perform, she continues to search the audience for Barbara.
The audience applauds wildly as Dorina's first song ends.
Barbara is rushed by paramedics into the emergency room. The doctor orders a CT scan and labwork. The paramedics say it looks like she had a stroke.
In her dressing room, Lavinia is practically wailing as she frantically asks Larry why there are so few people in the audience. She refuses to go out on stage and perform. Larry becomes upset and asks what he is supposed to tell the people who arrived? Lavinia says he can tell them she got sick, or that she had an accident, or that she committed suicide. She doesn't care! She just refuses to face that near-empty audience because it's simply too embarrassing.
Larry angrily tells her he has shelled out so much money to organize the concert. He can't afford to cancel the show. What about the sponsors? What about the people who came all the way to the convert venue?
Lavinia asks -- what about me?! She is frantic and panicking. She says she doesn't want people to say that her concert flopped and that she's now a has-been. She says she couldn't bear it.
Just then, Libby enters the dressing room and Lavinia angrily turns on her and says Libby should not bother them now. Libby apologizes for the interruption, but says that it's important. She tells Lavinia that Barbara has suffered a stroke at the entrance of the concert venue.
At Dorina's concert, she thanks the audience for their continuous support. She says the evening would not have been a success without them. She thanks her fans for their loyalty and for staying with her from the release of her first single.
Larry appears on the empty stage at Lavinia's concert. There are only a handful of people in the audience. He announces that the show has been cancelled because Lavinia's mother suffered a major stroke and Lavinia needs to be with her. The dozen or so people in the audience boo him. Larry asks for their support and apologizes before walking off the stage. Jay and Chris are just as unhappy with the way things have turned out.
Lavinia arrives at the hospital and asks the doctor how her mother is. The doctor says that Barbara is still unconscious and that her condition is unstable.
Dorina introduces her final song for the concert by inviting Rosamia to come up on stage. She acknowledges Rosamia as the composer of the song she is about to sing, which is also the first single she recorded. Rosamia at first hesitates but she cannot bear to disappoint Dorina. She joins her daughter onstage.
Rosamia fights back tears as she and Dorina perform "Sana'y Maghintay ang Walang Hanggan" together. Adora and Emilio are moved to tears as they watch mother and daughter perform such a meaningful song together.
Lavinia enters Barbara's hospital room to find her mother connected to various medical equipment, including a respirator. Barbara is unconscious.
The audience rises to their feet in a standing ovation at the end of the duet. Rosamia starts to speak -- she says she'd like to tell Dorina in front of everyone... her voice trails off as she looks out to the crowd and sees Emilio in the audience. Dorina prompts her, and Rosamia continues: Congratulations. You deserve all the great things you have accomplished. Nobody deserves it more than you. We all love you so much. The two women hug each other.
Lavinia cries as she watches Barbara lie motionless on the hospital bed.
Backstage at Dorina's concert, Rosamia waits for Dorina to appear after the concert, hoping to talk to her, but reporters immediately flock around Dorina before Rosamia can reach her. Behind Dorina, Zossimo receives a call on his cellphone, and he moves away from the crowd to answer it.
The reporters ask Dorina how she feels now that she has proven that she's more popular than Lavinia. Dorina downplays the comparison, and says just because her concert was successful it doesn't mean that she's more popular. When another reporter asks when Dorina's next concert will be, Nico says they'll decide after they've had a chance to celebrate.
Rosamia sees all the reporters and moves a safe distance away from them. Emilio walks up behind her and asks Rosamia if she has told Dorina the truth.
The male members of the band are in good spirits when Zossimo walks up to them looking worried. Gary asks him when they will be celebrating. Zossimo tells them the celebration may be postponed. Apparently, Lavinia has canceled her concert. Jack says that gives them all the more reason to celebrate, because it means they won. Zossimo does not respond to that statement. He merely asks them where Rita is, and learns that she's in the dressing room.
Just then, Rita appears in the hallway with her guitar and asks if any of them have seen Barbara. She says she can't reach her mother, and that Barbara had been planning to watch their concert. The guys are fall silent, prompting her to ask what's wrong. Zossimo quietly tells her that Libby called and that Barbara has suffered a stroke. Rita is shocked and doesn't know what to say.
Emilio says to Rosamia that like him, she cannot figure out how to tell Dorina the truth either. Rosamia admits that this is the wrong place and the wrong time. But she guarantees to Emilio that she will still reveal the truth to Dorina.
Emilio asks her if she realizes what she's saying. After all, she knows what the world is like. Once people know the truth, what happened to Rosamia can just as easily happen to Dorina. What will people say when they learn that Dorina's father is an ex-convict and that her mother is a drunk whose life is ruined?
She angrily tells him that her life was ruined because he lost their child. But now she's been found. She still holds it against him that he has hidden the truth from her all this time, and from Dorina. But she tells him that things will change soon, because Dorina will soon know the truth.
Emilio tells her that he will not try to stop her. He only asks that Rosamia think of what's best for Dorina. Think of everything that she will lose, everything that she has worked so hard for, think of her future. Can Rosamia truly bear to take that away from her own child?
Rosamia has no answer. She walks away from Emilio and encounters Adora and Bencho further down the corridor. The two women look at each other for a moment, but there's nothing more to say. Rosamia finally leaves the concert venue.
Lavinia leaves Barbara's hospital room. In the hallway, she sees Jack and Rita running in. Rita immediately asks her how Barbara is. Lavinia goes on the offensive, asking Rita how their concert can be more important, how she could wait until they finished the concert before showing up at the hospital.
Rita explains that that she didn't know, that Lavinia didn't call her right away. She asks Lavinia what she did to Barbara. Lavinia is shocked by the accusation. Rita says she knows Barbara went to see Lavinia, that Barbara had her attack in front of Lavinia's concert venue. Lavinia lies and says that she never got to see Barbara, that Barbara had her attack before they got a chance to talk.
At the entrance to Lavinia's concert venue, Larry informs reporters that Lavinia is now at the hospital, that she rushed there as soon as she heard the news about her mother. The reporters are skeptical. They ask if something really happened, or if this is just an excuse to cancel the concert because so few people came. Larry says they would not invent such a crisis. A reporter remarks that they can't deny that only a few people came to Lavinia's concert, unlike Dorina's.
Larry says that's not true. He lies and claims that they canceled Lavinia's concert earlier -- and that's the reason why only a few people came. He says those who came probably did not know it had already been canceled. He dares them to go to the hospital to verify his statement. He tells them they'll find Lavinia's mother in critical condition in the hospital.
Another reporter asks him what will happen now that Lavinia's career and popularity appears to be fading fast. Larry does not answer. He just pushes his way through the reporters and leaves.
Dorina is thrilled that her concert is over and enters her dressing room. Nico follows behind her with a large bouquet of white roses. She is surprised when he presents the flowers and reminds him that he just gave her a rose earlier. Nico smiles and says that if it were in his power to shower her with flowers every day, he would do it. She smiles and thanks him for the bouquet. He tells her that he's so proud of her and hugs her.
Just then, Oman barges into the dressing room with Kylie, causing Dorina and Nico to break the hug. Oman tries to leave the room when he sees Nico, but Dorina insists that they come in. Nico excuses himself. Kylie and Oman congratulate her. Dorina tells Oman he had her worried for a moment because she thought he wouldn't be attending the concert. Oman tells her there's no way he'd miss her concert since he's her number one fan. Kylie disagrees, claiming that she's Dorina's number one fan. Dorina laughs as the two of them continue to bicker.
Kylie notices the bouquet of white roses and asks Dorina if her boyfriend gave her the flowers. Oman's expression changes. Kylie tells Dorina that white roses mean eternal love and that whoever gave her that bouquet considers her very special. Oman is disturbed by this and starts to make his excuses to leave. Dorina invites them to join the victory party, but Oman insists that they need to go, since Kylie has a curfew. Dorina's smile fades as she notices Oman holding Kylie's hand. She accepts Oman's excuse about having an exam the next day and watches as Kylie and Oman leave together, still holding hands.
After they leave, Dorina sits back down in her chair, looking dejected and feeling more than a little jealous.
The next day, Dorina is at home in the kitchen trying to bake a cake when Bencho comes in and says she wasn't able to get Adora's signature on a permission slip for a 5-day school camping trip in Laguna with the girl scouts. Dorina tells her she'll try calling Adora on her cellphone.
After getting no answer, she tells Bencho that Adora is not answering the call, and speculates that it must really be noisy in Quiapo for Adora not to hear the call.
Unknown to her, Adora is back in the hospital with Minda for her next round of chemotherapy, and is too weak to answer the phone.
