Episode 19.1

The Pineda family is preparing to leave the house for their weekend getaway. When Adora looks for Oman, Dorina explains that he can't join because he has other priorities. But she assures Adora that they will still have fun even without him. Emilio loads all their supplies into the back of the van and they drive off to Tagaytay.

They arrive at their destination, Canyon Woods, and are escorted in to the registration counter. Dorina signs them in. They all head out to the terrace to enjoy the magnificent view and pose for pictures.

As she watches her children pose for photos, Adora remembers her own words to Minda, saying that only God can heal her now, and that she cannot bear to take hope away from her family.

The family enjoys a picnic together next to the fish pond. They share a moment of excitement when Emilio manages to catch a small fish.

That night, Dorina is sitting alone brooding outside. Emilio sees her and goes to talk to her. He asks her if she's alright and invites her to go back inside with him. Dorina says she wants to be completely calm and composed before she goes back inside because she doesn't want Adora to see her upset.

She confesses to Emilio that she's frightened. What happens if the faith healer they're going to see tomorrow doesn't heal Adora? She wouldn't know what to do. Emilio holds her and tells her not to raise her hopes because the faith healer is only human as well. It is up to God now.

Oman is seated at a table with Kylie, her father, and the foreman who is retiring, Mang Atong. They are now at the resort. Oman is introduced to the foreman. Kylie's father says Oman should talk to the foreman to find out what's involved with the job. Kylie's father asks the foreman what he thinks of Oman. The foreman says Oman seems skinny, and may be sickly. Oman feels challenged and immediately speaks up saying he's as fit as a carabao. Mang Atong gets up from the table and invites Oman to walk with him so they can speak privately.

Later that night, Dorina is putting Adora to bed. Adora remarks that it's too bad Oman couldn't join them, it would have made Dorina's enjoyment more complete. Dorina says that Oman couldn't come with them anyway, since he's spending the weekend with Kylie's family. He has his own life now. He even has his own set of friends. Adora asks her if she misses him. Dorina confesses that she misses Oman every day.

Rosamia is eating cup noodles in her small room when she gets a knock on her door. She opens it to find Larry on the other side. She tries to slam the door shut, but he pushes his way in and says they need to talk.

Larry says he's there to help her. Rosamia says she knows him; he wouldn't offer to help unless he needed something himself. Larry doesn't bother to deny it. He says that he indeed needs something from her in exchange for his help: one song. He wants her to compose one song for Lavinia.

Larry tells Rosamia he's willing to pay her for the song. He says she's not been earning money lately and she's only been working in cheap clubs the past year. He also says he knows that she just pawned her jewelry. Rosamia angrily tells him that she would rather beg on the streets before she will accept a single cent from him. She throws him out of her room and sits back down to resume eating.

In Tagaytay, it's night time and Dorina is walking along the fishpond, still brooding. She recalls the time Oman confessed his feelings to her in front of her home, while playing the guitar.

At his own weekend getaway, Oman is wandering around the resort, restless and brooding as well. As he walks, he is surprised to suddenly sees Dorina. They're at the same resort! They're both surprised and happy to see each other.

Dorina misunderstands Oman's presence. She says she's happy that he decided to join them after all. She asks him how he even knew they were there in that particular resort. Oman confesses that he didn't actually follow them. Just then, Kylie walks around the corner and finds them. She is thrilled to see Dorina and says it's a great coincidence. It will be a much more enjoyable vacation. Dorina on the other hand, is disappointed.

The Pineda family is having breakfast the next day when Oman and Kylie enter the dining room. Oman would rather not talk to them, but Kylie pulls him along so they can greet the Pineda family.

Adora sees Oman and says it's a good thing that he was able to come after all. Dorina explains that Kylie's family is also a member at the resort, and that it turns out Oman and Kylie are there with her father as well. Kylie says it's a lucky thing that they chose to vacation here. Oman awkwardly makes small talk, saying it's such a coincidence. Dorina is not at all friendly during this whole conversation. Oman feels awkward. He makes their excuses and he and Kylie leave. Adora cannot help but notice Dorina's reaction to seeing Kylie and Oman together.

In Larry's office, Larry tells Lavinia that he was unable to convince Rosamia. Lavinia is disappointed. She says that the root of the problem is Rosamia can't be bought. She says offering her money was the wrong way to go.

She paces the room a bit before finally turning to Larry to ask him -- What does Rosamia want? Larry says that right now, Rosamia wants to hide from the press, from the public. Lavinia smiles and says -- then give that to her.

Later that morning, Emilio is pointing out the various activities that are available at the resort to Adora and Dorina. Kylie approaches them and asks Dorina if she's doing anything. Dorina says she plans to spend the day with Adora. Kylie invites her to join them instead. Dorina tries to take a rain check, but Adora encourages her to go with Kylie. She urges Dorina to join them. Kylie says it's a rare opportunity for her to show Dorina around.

Rosamia wanders out of her room, bored. She steps out on the balcony of the building to get some fresh air. As she looks down, she sees the reporter Oscar in the parking lot looking up at her, watching her with an evil smile on his face.
