EPISODE 79:

* MA brings Otilia into the living room of the palace - everyone looks at them as Otilia starts to talk non-stop first to MA, then she says hello to Miriam and Karen, Miriam seems less than thrilled to see her. Gabriel tells Jossie that he would like to visit with their son before dinner and Jossie happily escorts him upstairs. MA looks disappointed and upset.

Once Miriam says okay, Otilia starts planning - Dolores gives her opinions - MA and Jossie roll their eyes at the same time.

Just long enough for Gabriel to stroll in and start playing with LD.
