Episode 16.4
Rosamia leaves the Arguelles home after threatening Lavinia and warning her to stay away from Dorina.
Rita arrives at the door and asks Lavinia what's going on. Still upset, Lavinia says she doesn't know what Rosamia was raving about -- and that Rosamia just kept saying to stay away from Dorina and to stay away from her daughter.
Still confused, Lavinia picks up the tabloid that Rosamia brought with her from the floor. She stares at the photo of Dorina, and finally realizes... Dorina is Rosamia's daughter. She laughs and gleefully says she's got another bullet.
Dorina and the band finish rehearsals and are accosted by reporters as they are leaving. They ask Dorina about the rumors that she's a playgirl and that she's got three boyfriends at the same time. Dorina is dumbfounded and cannot think of anything to say in response.
At the Arguelles home, Lavinia is still amazed at the thought that Rosamia could be Dorina's mother. She says it shouldn't have been a surprise to her since they're both losers.
Gary and the band push their way through the crowd of reporters to escort Dorina out.
Lavinia calls Oscar and asks him to come to her house because she's got a new scoop for him. After Lavinia hangs up, Rita asks her to leave Dorina alone, to stop messing with her life. She asks Lavinia not to spread that news, since there's obviously a reason they wanted to keep it quiet.
Lavinia says there's no way she'll keep quiet after everything that they've gone through. She says she has lost respect for Dorina and it is difficult to regain that respect. Rita quietly tells Lavinia she should therefore not expect any respect from her either, before leaving to climb up the stairs.
Dorina is in a cab and the driver makes conversation, asking her if the rumors about her are true. She doesn't know what he's talking about, so he hands her a copy of the latest tabloid whose headline implies she's promiscuous.
As they pull up in front of her home, the cab driver remarks that there's a large crowd of reporters waiting for her. Dorina frantically asks him to back up the cab before the reporters can see them.
Rita gets on her cellphone and tries to call Dorina. As Dorina answers the phone, Lavinia comes up from behind and snatches Rita's cellphone out of her hand. Rita tries to get the cellphone back, but Lavinia slaps her and calls her a traitor.
Rita tells Lavinia she can't stop her from warning Dorina. Lavinia says her she just did. She points out that their land lines have long been disconnected, and warns Rita not to try leaving the house to warn Dorina. Because if she were to do that, Barbara would be left alone with Lavinia, and God only knows what would happen to Barbara then... and it would all be Rita's fault, whatever it is.
Rita tells Lavinia she's a monster. Lavinia brushes off the accusation and says that's nothing new. She already knows she's a monster. After all, it's like mother, like daughter. She says that's why she wouldn't be surprised if Rita were to become a monster as well.
Lavinia makes a show of brushing back Rita's hair and wiping away her sister's tears, then walks away smiling.
Dorina arrives at Oman's dorm and knocks frantically on his door.
Unknown to Dorina, Oman and Kylie are still out together. Kylie reveals to Oman that she and her boyfriend have finally broken things off.
Dorina cries as she realizes that Oman isn't there. She turns slowly to leave and finds Gary walking towards her. He says he knew he would find her there. Dorina is still crying and Gary wipes away her tears with his handkerchief.
Kylie tells Oman that she's completely fine with the break-up because she realized that she doesn't actually love her boyfriend. She didn't even cry or feel bad. Oman says that's good. Kylie takes a deep breath and reveals that actually has feelings for someone else, and admits that it's Oman.
Oman is shocked. She tells him not to feel pressured because she just wanted him to know. He's about to say more when out of the corner of his eye he sees the tabloid headlines a nearby vendor and walks over to pick up a copy. Kylie sees the headlines too.
Gary takes Dorina to a new house, where Nico is there waiting for them. Nico shares that Zossimo has learned from Rosamia that this latest tabloid attack is all Lavinia's doing.
Dorina tells Nico she can't go home with all the reporters camped out on her doorstep. Nico assures her that she can stay at this house for now, since no one knows that he owns the place.
Dorina asks -- how about Bencho? Gary assures her that Bencho will be fine as long as she stays inside at the house, and that Emilio and Rosamia will take care of her.
Nico then tells Dorina that Gary will stay with her while she's at this new house. He also says he brought a change of clothes for her so she won't have to go home. Dorina thanks him.
Nico leaves. Dorina tells Gary that they need to contact Adora so she won't worry. Gary says that if Adora has heard the news and is worrying, she'll be the one to call.
At the hospital, Adora is going through another series of scans. The doctor tells Minda that they'll know with this scan whether there's been an improvement with Adora's tumor. She asks Minda to turn off all electronic devices, including her cellphone. Minda shuts off her phone.
Oman and Kylie are now in a cab, and Oman is urging the driver to go faster. As they get out of the cab in front of Dorina's house, the reporters rush to him and start asking him how he feels about Dorina having other boyfriends aside from him.
Oman tells the reporters they don't know what they're talking about. The reporters ignore his statement and start asking who Kylie is. Oman quickly urges Kylie to get back into the cab and they drive off.
Lavinia opens the doors to her home to find Nico on her doorstep. With false sweetness, she asks him to what she owes this pleasure. He tells her to drop the act and asks her what her problem is. He tells her to stop attacking Dorina and using Dorina to regain her lost fame.
Lavinia reminds him that he was the first to use Dorina -- he used Dorina to attack her career, and used Dorina to make her jealous. So they're both just doing the same thing. She tells him he should look at himself before he judges her.
Nico tells Lavinia that he doesn't know her anymore. He says he has tried to blame everything that he could possibly think of for Lavinia's actions -- her career, even Larry -- but now it's apparent that Lavinia is the root of the problem.
Lavinia is hurt, but she tries her best to conceal it. She tells Nico that she's already tasted fame and success and she can't let it all go. It's all or nothing for her. Nico tells her to be careful what she wishes for because she may get it. He tells her he hopes it's all worth it, before turning to leave. Lavinia slams the door shut. Tears well in her eyes.
Emilio and Bencho look out the second floor window and see all the reporters. Bencho asks Emilio what's going on, if the reporters are mad at Dorina. Emilio assures Bencho that they're all just looking for Dorina because she's famous and they want to report on everything she's doing.
Bencho asks why Dorina hasn't come home yet. Emilio says Dorina went on vacation for a while, like Adora is on vacation now, and like Bencho was away on her camping trip. Rosamia arrives just then to say that she had such trouble getting into the house with all the reporters outside.
Emilio asks her where she's been. Before answering, Rosamia asks Bencho to get her something to drink. Once Bencho is out of the earshot, Rosamia tells Emilio that she went to confront Lavinia. Emilio is surprised but pleased. But Rosamia confesses that she may have made matters worse because of what she inadvertently let slip. She says she hopes Lavinia didn't realize the connection between her and Dorina. The two of them exchange worried looks.
Oscar arrives at the Arguelles home and asks Lavinia about her latest scoop. After Nico's visit, Lavinia is now unsure and says maybe it's better that she say nothing. Oscar says that if she has nothing then she's just wasting his time. When she stays quiet, he asks her if she's starting to feel guilty, and says now is not the time to be faint of heart. He assures her that she'll be back on top again if they keep up their attacks on Dorina.
Lavinia thinks for a moment, then finally says that she's already started this, so she might as well pursue it all the way to the end. Oscar approves of the decision and asks Lavinia what she needs of him. Lavinia tells him she wants solid evidence that Rosamia and the driver Emilio are the parents of Dorina Pineda. Oscar's face lights up.
Rosamia assures Dorina over the phone that Bencho is okay and still unaware of everything that's happening. Rosamia also says that Adora hasn't called, so perhaps the news hasn't reached them yet. Rosamia asks Dorina not to worry, that people will soon realize that these rumors in the papers are all lies.
At Zoni's office, Zossimo comes in to see Nico and says that one of the sponsors has backed out because of the scandal. He says it might be because her wholesome image has been tarnished by the rumors. Zossimo says he'll setup a meeting with the sponsors, but it's hard to say how that meeting will go.
At the hospital, Adora wakes up and asks Minda if Dorina has called. Minda realizes just then that she forgot to turn her cellphone back on after Adora's MRI. She turns on the phone and Dorina's many text messages start coming in. At Adora's urging, Minda tries to call Dorina, but Dorina's phone is out of reach.
At her temporary home, Dorina comes down the stairs the next day to find that Gary has prepared lunch. The TV is on in the dining room and Dorina asks if there has been news about her. He says it's still the same old news as yesterday.
On TV, Oscar Dimayuga is now being interviewed by a talk show host. The host asks Oscar if he has an axe to grind with Dorina for printing such an expose. Oscar says he has no problem with Dorina, that he only reports what Dorina is doing.
The host asks Oscar about his newest expose. Oscar is all too happy to explain. He says he now has evidence that Rosamia is married to a man named Emilio Suarez. The talk show host remarks that he wasn't aware that Rosamia was ever married. Oscar says it's no surprise that Rosamia kept it quiet because Emilio is a convicted drug pusher and had been jailed for 17 years.
Oscar goes on to say that Emilio is now out of jail and in fact is now working as the driver of Dorina Pineda. The talk show host remarks that the topic returns to Dorina once again. He tells Oscar there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's a good thing that Dorina is kind enough to help ex-convicts.
At the dining table, Gary asks Dorina if she knew that Emilio was an ex-convict. Dorina is still shocked and quickly shakes her head.
Oscar continues in his interview that Rosamia and Emilio had a baby girl. He showed the host the birth certificate. The talk show host asks where the child is now. Oscar explains that according to the police reports, Emilio had left his daughter with a flower vendor outside the club where he was arrested, and that the name of the club is Club 100.
Dorina suddenly recalls her earlier efforts to find her parents by posting a letter outside Club 100. She quickly puts the two facts together.
Gary sees Dorina's reaction to this revelation and asks her what's going on. Dorina shakily tells Gary that she's the one, she's the baby Emilio lost... which means Rosamia is her mother.
