Their lives change when their parents – Joanna's mother Michelle (Dimples Romana), and Trixie's father Alfonso (Tonton Gutierrez) – unexpectedly meet again. After years of being separated from each other, Alfonso takes his chance to ask Michelle, his true love, to marry him amidst the disapproval of Trixie.

But as they start to live their lives anew as one family, Katrina (Angel Aquino), Trixie's mother and Alfonso's first wife, returns after having abandoned both of them years ago without explanation.
