Jaime relays to Joaquin Dr. Alferos' advice that they consult with a brain specialist abroad. Thinking that his parents are now conniving to keep him and Chichay apart, Joaquin insists that there is nothing wrong with his brain. However, when his hallucinations worsen and when he discovers Jaime's solo efforts to raise money, Joaquin goes to Juliana himself and asks for her help so he can immediately undergo a brain surgery. Unaware of the symptoms Joaquin has been showing the past few days, Juliana turns a deaf ear to her son.
