Episode 15.4
Rosamia tells Dorina she doesn't know how she feels about Emilio anymore because she has been so angry with him for 18 years. But her anger has been fading now that she is hopeful that she will be reunited with her daughter.
Rosamia tells Dorina her family will be whole once again, although she asks Dorina not to ask how she's sure. Dorina is thrilled, and asks Rosamia if that means Rosamia and Emilio will be reconciled. Rosamia laughs and asks Dorina if she's trying to play matchmaker again. Dorina laughs and says she just knows that Emilio truly loves Rosamia, and since Emilio is Rosamia's only love, she hopes the estranged couple will be together again one day.
Emilio walks into the living room just then. Rosamia immediately asks him how long he has been standing there. Emilio looks puzzled and says he just arrived. Rosamia asks him how much he overheard of her conversation with Dorina. Emilio says he didn't hear anything. Half-joking, he asks if they were talking about him. Rosamia is quick to say no.
Emilio tells them he's leaving the house because he needs to have the car vulcanized. As the turns away, Dorina and Rosamia share a guilty laugh, prompting Emilio to turn around and look at them. When Rosamia asks him what he's looking at, Emilio smiles broadly and says that he heard her laugh, and that it made him happy. Dorina and Emilio smile at each other before Emilio leaves.
Dorina teases Rosamia about the situation and Rosamia pretends to be unaffected by the prospect of being with Emilio again. But she cannot completely hide her smile.
Nico is in a meeting with an indie movie producer and director. The producer says that the professional fee isn't that large, but the material is fantastic and the director is being compared to the late Lino Brocka. He thinks the movie will be a worthy entry in foreign filmfests and would love for Dorina to be in it.
Nico says he agrees that it's a great script, and that he likes the director's other films, and even says the professional fee isn't the problem. He simply feels that Dorina is too young for the script that they've got. They ask him if there's a chance he will reconsider, but Nico says his decision is final.
The producer says he's eager to get Dorina because she's the hottest artist right now. Nico says there are a lot of other artists around, and that one artist actually came to mind while he was reading the script -- Lavinia Arguelles.
The director agrees that Lavinia is perfect for the role, but there's no way Lavinia would take it because the professional fee is too small. Nico tells them that if they truly want Lavinia, he can arrange for her to accept the role.
Lavinia is watching the entertainment news and learns that Nico met with one of the indie directors and that it looks like Dorina will soon be in the movies as well. Lavinia immediately calls Larry and asks him if he's heard about the role that's being offered to Dorina. She tells him that she wants that role and that Larry should steal it from Dorina.
In Nico's office, the indie producer is on the speakerphone thanking Nico for his help, because Larry has expressed interest in the role for Lavinia.
After Nico ends the call, Zossimo asks him if he choreographed the whole thing just so Lavinia will get the movie. Nico says he knows Larry and Lavinia -- that they always try to steal Dorina's projects, and obviously his ploy worked.
Zossimo asked him why he bothered. Nico says he felt sorry for Lavinia, and that he feels guilty for the state of Lavinia's career. Zossimo disagrees and says they only made Dorina popular; they didn't do anything to harm Lavinia.
Nico rationalizes that Dorina doesn't need the project anyway, so it's no loss to Zoni or Dorina. Zossimo tells Nico he's not fooling anyone. He didn't do this out of pity or guilt. Nico asks him what he means. Zossimo tells him that Nico is always aware of what's going on with Lavinia. And that whenever something goes wrong with Lavinia, he's always there to offer his support.
Nico defends his actions, saying he's still Lavinia's friend. Zossimo tells him it's more than friendship. He saw the look on Nico's face when Lavinia was with Larry. Nico asks him what he's implying. Zossimo tells Nico that he's still in love with Lavinia. Nico does not deny it.
In the hospital, Barbara is seated in a wheelchair and Rita is packing up their bags; they are checking out. Lavinia arrives and asks if they're ready to go. She tells them the car is waiting.
Rita tells her not to bother because they'll be taking a cab. Lavinia tells the orderly that she'll take care of wheeling her mother out of the hospital. After the orderly leaves, Lavinia says sharply to Rita that there's no need to be so melodramatic. They will get in her car and they will go home to Lavinia's house.
Rita asks her why bother? Just to put on another show for people? Lavinia smiles with false sweetness and says of course. She wouldn't want people to think that she has abandoned them. Lavinia tells Barbara to smile once they're outside because they're going to have their pictures taken.
Adora is in her own hospital room, feeling nauseated when her cellphone rings. It is Dorina. Adora puts up a good front and tells Dorina that she's just been eating, sleeping, and enjoying herself on her vacation. Dorina says they must be really having a great time because she hasn't even called. Adora apologizes and says the signal is usually weak and that it's lucky Dorina's call got through this time.
Adora asks Dorina how things are, and whether or not she's getting along well with Rosamia. Dorina says things are going great and that she and Rosamia are frequently chatting. Dorina asks Adora when they expect to be back. Adora says they're enjoying themselves so much that they might extend their vacation.
Adora then asks to talk to Emilio. Once Emilio is on the phone, Adora asks if Dorina is starting to notice anything. Emilio says no and asks her how she's doing. Adora says she's having a hard time but that she'll deal with it. Adora asks if Rosamia has told Dorina the truth. Emilio says no and that Rosamia is content with the way things are now. He thanks Adora for giving Rosamia a chance to grow closer to Dorina.
Adora says Dorina seems to be enjoying Rosamia's company, and that Dorina doesn't even seem to miss Adora. Emilio says that Dorina is just trying to put up a brave front but she really misses Adora.
Rosamia notices that Dorina is watching Emilio intently as he talks to Adora on the phone, and asks Dorina if she's worried about her mother. Dorina says yes, and that she's wondering why Emilio and Adora are talking for so long. What would be there to talk about? Rosamia says it might be things related to the restaurant. To distract Dorina, Rosamia says she thinks she and Dorina should go out tomorrow. Dorina is happy at the prospect and asks where they'll be going.
Rita, Lavinia, and Barbara arrive at Lavinia's home. Rita pushes the wheelchair into the foyer. Lavinia tells Rita that there are no more maids so they'll have to fend for themselves, then climbs up the stairs leaving her mother and sister in the living room.
Emilio, Rosamia, and Dorina go out together for dinner at one of the seaside picnic grounds along the bay. At one point, Emilio gives Rosamia his jacket when he notices that she's feeling cold. Dorina watches them with a smile on her face. When the meal is ready, they all eat together, and Rosamia enjoys this opportunity to fuss over Dorina.
At the end of the day, they return home and Emilio points out that one of the pineapples they bought is almost overripe. He turns to Rosamia and offers to prepare the fruit, and absentmindedly calls her by an endearment before he catches himself. Dorina teasingly asks him what he just called Rosamia, but Emilio evades answering the question and excuses himself. Rosamia makes her own escape up the stairs as well, leaving Dorina alone in the living room smiling to herself.
At Lavinia's house, Rita is doing her best to feed Barbara, while Lavinia eats her own meal at the other end of the table. Barbara is not interested in eating, but Rita keeps trying, saying Barbara won't get well if she doesn't eat. Lavinia cannot stand to watch them and she leaves the table.
Later that night, Emilio is drinking coffee in the kitchen when Rosamia enters and is surprised to see him. He asks Rosamia if she feels uneasy about him being there because he can leave. Rosamia says it's up to him, she doesn't mind.
Emilio asks her if she can forgive him now that she is reunited with her daughter. Rosamia tells him that time will come, before she leaves to returns upstairs.
Rosamia visits Dorina in her bedroom to find her daughter lying in bed but still awake. Dorina says she really enjoyed their outing. Rosamia tells her they can always do it again.
Rosamia is about to leave the bedroom when Dorina asks her if she would mind sleeping there with Dorina. Rosamia smiles sweetly and Dorina asks her if she is remembering her daughter. Rosamia says yes, that she feels like her daughter is right there with her.
The two of them crawl under the blankets and Dorina falls fast asleep. Rosamia savors the bittersweet moment.
On location at the shooting of the indie movie, the director is complaining that their lead artist is already two hours late. The producer says that Lavinia's RM says she's on her way. Just then, Lavinia arrives in her van and an excited crowd of fans cheer her as she steps out of the vehicle.
Lavinia tells the producer that the location of the shoot is so difficult to find, and that they've been going around in circles trying to look for the place. The producer placates her, saying that at least she's there now. He leads her to a nearby table under an umbrella and says that this is her standby area. Lavinia is horrified. She asks him if there's no airconditioning. He says he can give her electric fans and asks for her patience.
Oscar visits Lavinia at the set. Lavinia asks her make-up artist to step aside for a while so they can talk privately. She asks Oscar what's new. Oscar tells her Dorina is too wholesome and he can't find any dirt on her. Lavinia orders him to make something up, and tells him she doesn't want to put up with more projects like this one.
Dorina wakes up the next day to find herself alone in her bedroom. She is surprised to see a large pile of gift-wrapped presents laid out along the foot of the bed. Just then, Rosamia enters and Dorina asks her why all these gifts are there. Rosamia smiles and says she's giving these presents to Dorina.
Dorina is confused and reminds Rosamia that these are the gifts that she has set aside all these years for her missing daughter. Why would she be giving these gifts to Dorina?
Rosamia sits down on the bed and holds Dorina's hands. She stares at Dorina for a long moment, trying to find the right words.
