Week 10, Monday, Day 046

Michael stops by the boarding house to continue his pursuit of Fatima. Before Fatima can answer Michael's questions about her feelings for him, Precious steps out of the boarding house and sees him.



Precious expresses surprise that Michael is there because he had already told them he's pursuing someone else. Precious says she doesn't doubt that the other girl is already Michael's girlfriend. Fatima admonishes Precious and says she's putting Michael on the spot.



Precious assures Fatima that everything is alright. Although she admits that she still loves Michael, she's still happy that he is now finding his own happiness, even if it's with someone else. Michael thanks her awkwardly.



Precious then tells Michael that they have to return to the wake. Michael quickly offers to go with them. Fatima volunteers to close the door as Precious and Michael start walking down the street.

Week 09, Friday, Day 045

A blood-splattered Lea arrives at the boarding house, escorted by the police. She breaks the tragic news to Mrs. Reyes -- her nephew Ian and been shot and killed.




Everyone is shocked by this news and Mrs. Reyes faints.




Misty is understandably grief-stricken when she learns of her ex-boyfriend's death, and is too stunned to move aside when the police bring Mrs. Reyes into the boarding house.





At Ian's wake, Monching arrives to pay his respects, and an ugly exchange of words between Mrs. Reyes and her former best friend ensues.



During the heated exchange, Monching admits that he did love Ian. Outraged by what she perceives to be Monching's confession, Mrs. Reyes starts to hit him.



Lea finally intervenes and sharply reminds her two guardians that they should at least comport themselves properly while they are at Ian's wake. Mrs. Reyes glares at Monching for another second or two before turning abruptly away to return to the coffin. An awkward silence follows.

Early the next morning, Precious wakes Fatima and asks if her friend had been talking to Michael the night before. She reveals that she called Michael's house last night and had been told by the house help that Michael didn't get home until very late.



Fatima evades the question and tells Precious to ask Michael herself. Precious asks her again and when Fatima hesitates, she asks if Fatima is trying to keep her from speaking to Michael.



Before Fatima can answer, Precious asks Fatima if she already knows who Michael's new love interest is. Fatima asks Precious to not put her on the spot. She says she's not ready to explain yet because she doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship. She promises to find an opportunity to tell Precious, but not just yet.
