Episode 19.2
Lavinia wraps up the day's rehearsals for her concert. She instructs a staffer to have everyone come in for another rehearsal the next day. When the staffers says tomorrow is a Sunday, Lavinia says she doesn't care. She tells the staffer to instruct the band to arrive for rehearsals tomorrow.
Just then, Jack and Rita enter the hall and Lavinia asks them where their singer is, saying Dorina must be late and therefore unprofessional. Rita tells her that Dorina is not rehearsing today, and that the entire band was advised. They only stopped by to pick up a few music sheets.
Lavinia says Dorina is being over-confident if she's not rehearsing with the concert so near. She must think so highly of herself. Rita pointedly tells Lavinia that Dorina is not rehearsing because she has accompanied her mother to seek treatment, because her mother and her family are more important to her than her career or her concert.
Lavinia is at a loss for words. Rita and Jack walk past her towards the stage, but Rita cannot help but look back at her sister. Lavinia likewise looks over her shoulder at Rita, before finally leaving.
At the resort, Oman expresses surprise when Dorina and Kylie arrive at the front driveway of the resort together. Dorina says she doesn't have to join them if he doesn't want her there. Oman says there's no need for her to sensitive, and that it will be more fun for all of them to be together.
They spend the afternoon on golf carts touring the resort. Dorina is uncomfortable and feels out of place while Oman and Kylie enjoy themselves. Later that afternoon, they are at the poolside enjoying drinks together. Dorina finds herself laughing and enjoying herself.
At home, Rita opens the door of their small apartment to find Lavinia standing there at the door. Rita quickly checks outside to see if anyone else has come. Lavinia tells her she came alone. She enters and kisses Barbar aon the cheek.
Rita asks her why she has come. Lavinia said she was just in the neighborhood so she decided to stop by. Rita tells her brusquely that they're just fine.
Lavinia ignores her statement and asks Barbara how her therapy is progressing. Rita interjects and answers that all is well, then asks Lavinia what she's doing here. Lavinia asks her if she needs a reason to visit her own family. Rita says that if they were talking about someone else, no. But since they're talking about Lavinia, then the answer is yes. She asks again what Lavinia is doing there. Lavinia says she just wants to repeat her offer for them to live with her back home.
Rita quickly says they're okay where they are. Lavinia asks her how they can possibly be okay when they're living in a place that's so shabby and there's no airconditioning. She says it's much like the house they used to live in.
Rita asks her what's wrong with their old house? They liked it just fine. And they're fine where they are now. Lavinia is now exasperated. She tells Rita there's no need to be this stubborn. If she simply said yes, then this discussion would be over.
Lavinia goes on to say that Rita may be contented with where they are now, but does she really think Barbara is happy being here? Rita asks her how she can possibly knows what Barbara wants when they've not spoken to each other for so long.
Before the argument between the two sisters deteriorates further, Barbara finally speaks up. She asks Lavinia what it is she really needs. She asks -- Do you need me? Do you need your family?
Lavinia pauses then swallows hard. Finally, she answers -- I don't need anything. I'm just doing you a favor.
Barbara's voice is filled with emotion as she says -- I pushed you long and hard to do what I wanted for so long. I forced you, strangled you. I don't want to do that now. I don't want to be a burden to you.
Tears stream down Barbara's face as she says to Lavinia -- I'm setting you free.
Barbara turns to Rita and says she wants to rest. Rita wipes away her own tears then wheels her mother out of the living room.
Lavinia watches them leave. She takes a moment to compose herself before she leaves the house. She gets into her car and cries as the car pulls away.
Adora is in her bedroom at the resort when she gets a knock on the door. The door opens and Oman enters. When he asks her where Dorina is, Adora says Dorina is somewhere outside.
Oman sits on the bed beside Adora and asks her how she's doing, and if she needs anything. Adora is quiet for a moment, then asks him to take care of Dorina. Oman says things are different now that he and Dorina don't get to see or talk to each other too often. Oman says he doesn't know what to do for her anymore.
Adora says that other than herself, Oman is the one who knows Dorina the best -- what she's thinking, what she's feeling. Oman responds that that may have been true before, but that's not true now. He says he can't read Dorina anymore.
Adora assures him that Dorina is the same Dorina he's known all this time. He just thinks that she's drifting away, but really she's not. Adora tells her that everytime Dorina has a problem, she goes running to see him. Whenever she's happy about something, she wants to tell him about it. When she's victorious, she looks for him, hoping he'll be beside her.
Adora tells Oman that Dorina needs him, as a friend, an ally, in this sad and lonely world that she's now entered. She'll be stronger if he's there defending her. Oman is silent throughout all this.
Later, Oman finds Dorina outside next to the fishpond, brooding. He asks her what she's doing there all alone, if she has a problem. She says no, that she's just enjoying the view because it's beautiful.
She tells Oman that Kylie's family is nice and that Kylie told her Oman came to talk to their foreman. She asks him what they talked about. Oman says he's not sure whether or not he's going to accept the job. Dorina asks him for more details, but Oman says he'll tell her all about it when everything's already final.
He asks her about Adora. Dorina says the chemo is going on, but she's not sure if it's working.
Oman then asks her how she's doing. Dorina gives him the safe answer -- that she's okay. She goes on to say that it's a good thing a lot of people are helping her: Emilio, Nico, and Zossimo... they're able to provide whatever it is she need -- whether it be support, or assistance with the expenses at the hospital, or with the doctor. She sighs, then says she wouldn't know what to do if they weren't there.
Oman says it's good that she has them. He then changes the subject and says he heard they're going to see a faith healer tomorrow. He volunteers to go with them. Dorina quickly says he doesn't have to, that Emilio will be there, and that they'll be able to handle it.
Oman says -- so you don't need me anymore? Dorina says -- no, but thank you. She bids him goodnight and walks away before he can say anything more.
Rosamia comes down the stairs of the motel she's staying at and Oscar immediately snaps a photo of her and greets her. She asks him what he wants from her. Oscar tauntingly says everyone wants to know where she is. Rosamia grabs his camera and throws it to the floor, then steps on it. She slaps Oscar and tells him to take that to his employer, before rushing back into the motel.
Adora is at the faith healer. He lights a few candles, then performs his prayers. Adora asks him what he's going to do. He says he's going to drop hot wax on the lumps on her body. Adora is horrified at this news, and immediately jumps up from the chair she's sitting on. The faith healer is exasperated. He tells her that what he's about to do is the treatment that is required to remove the poison from her body.
He asks her why she's being skeptical, and if she is not going to be brave enough to endure the treatment for the sake of her family, of her daughters. Adora finally relents and agrees to the "treatment".
Rosamia storms into Larry's office. She tells him that if he thinks she's afraid of Oscar, he's being clueless. She says if she sees Oscar again, she's going to smash the camera into his face. Larry tells her to try if she thinks that will help. But he reminds Rosamia that she can't hide from Oscar, and that even if she were to move to another place, Larry's many contacts will find her. Rosamia asks him why he's harrassing her like this. He's already won. What's the point?
Larry tells her he'll leave her in peace, as long as she composes a song for Lavinia. And not just any song -- it's got to be a hit, and it has to seal the deal to make Lavinia the best singer ever, better than Dorina. After that, Larry will pay Oscar to be quiet, and he'll even pay Rosamia for the song.
Rosamia is cornered. She agrees to the terms before leaving his office, just as angry as when she entered.
Oman and Kylie's father are talking at the resort. Kylie's father asks Oman what he thinks about the job offer. Oman says the work seems to be okay, but asks Kylie's father if he's sure about Oman being the one for the job. He asks if he wouldn't be better off getting someone with a college degree.
Kylie's father says education is important, but character is more important to him. Especially since he himself does not have a college degree. He says all his success now became possible because a long time ago, someone took a chance on him. And since he's the type to share his blessings, he wants to give other people the same chance as well. Perhaps with this start, Oman one day will be able to reach his dreams.
Dorina and Emilio are waiting worriedly outside the faith healer. They can hear Adora's yelps of pain inside. Emilio urgently asks Dorina to go in there and stop this nonsense. Dorina is unsure. She asks Emilio -- what if this is actually helping her? Emilio says that with the pain that Adora is enduring, do you really think that it's helping her? She's only doing this for you.
