ON THE WINGS OF LOVE Episode 8


We started with Tiffany and her neighbors planning on how they were going to raise money for Mr. Sol’s surgery.
They decided to have a fundraising in form of a concert and they also put up donation boxes around the neighborhood so that people could donate money.
Back in the US, Clark and Leah still had to know more about each other before their next immigration interview. Leah tried to get Clark to open up to her about his father but he did not want to. She suggested that they play a truth or dare game using a spinning bottle so that it would be easier for Clark to open up to her. Clark did not want to do it at first but finally agreed after some persuasion from Leah.
When they played the first spin, Clark won and had to ask Leah a question. Before he could do it, Jigs called Leah and she rejected the call. Clark therefore asked Leah why she was no longer in love with Jigs as his question. Leah said that she and Jigs wanted different things adding that Jigs was used to getting what he wanted and threw a tantrum when he did not get what he wanted.
They had played the spin the bottle game at a restaurant so they changed it to a coin toss once they were outside. Clark won the toss and asked Leah about her mother. Leah told him that her mother left for America to give them a better life but she ended up dying there.
After Leah told Clark about her mother, she proceeded to ask him about his father but he insisted on playing the coin toss. Leah won the toss and asked Clark to tell her about his father but Clark said that he would choose a dare instead of the truth. Leah threatened to make Clark hold a cockroach so he eventually chose truth. Leah finally had her chance to have her question answered. Clark told her that his father was a jerk and he hated him.
When Leah asked what Clark’s father did to make him despise him, Clark said that she was only allowed one question. Leah won the coin toss again but Clark walked away instead of telling her about his father.
Leah went home to clean up and prepared food for Clark. Clark walked into a clean apartment but almost refused to eat the food that Leah prepared because she might charge him. Leah said she wouldn’t and they sat down to eat. Clark was enjoying the meal after complementing Leah’s cooking skills but he stopped eating when Leah mentioned his father. She told Clark that she would not pressure him into talking about it since it seemed like a difficult subject but if he ever wanted to, she would be there to listen to him as a friend. Clark got up and went to bed since he had to wake up early.
After Jigs failed to contact Leah, he became furious and called Aunt Jack to ask about her. Aunt Jack told him that maybe Leah was busy at work and if she was with Clark, there was no problem because the two were prepping for their Immigration interview. Jigs was rude to her and Grandma Pacita asked him to be more respectful to his mother because she was out in America working hard to take care of him.
Mr. Sol found out that Tiffany had set up boxes for people to donate money for his operation. He was furious and told Tiffany that he did not want to beg but Tiffany asked him whether he was willing to die because of shame. Their neighbors set Mr.Sol’s mind at ease when they told him that he had always been generous to them so they only wanted to pay him back.
Clark had a dream about confessing his love for Leah and was about to kiss her when the alarm rang and he got up flustered. He went out for drinks with Leah and dared her to get a guy to flirt with her. Leah had a hard time getting someone to notice her but she met a gay guy who was all over her. Leah played along to show off her charm and Clark had to remind her from the other side of the room that she was married. When Leah got back to the table, she told Clark that she was not going to date anyone because they were married and it would be risky if she got caught.
Clark finally told Leah about his father; that he had gone to America with his mother to meet him but he had rejected him because he had another family. Clark and his mother decided to stay in America but his mother got sick with Pneumonia and died. Aunt Jack could not take him in because she was an illegal immigrant so Clark had to be taken to foster care. The family that adopted him made him slave around the house so Clark ran away and went to find Aunt Jack who took him in. He said that he owed Aunt Jack a lot for taking care of him but he would make sure that his father would one day regret giving up on him.
We ended with Clark and Leah in bed and Leah thanked Clark for finally trusting him and telling him the truth…
