Ina has a hard time telling her children that about this. She also has visions of her departed husbands, who turn out to be lookalikes of them. As her condition continues, Ina also deals with Seven's impending wedding with fiancé William, whom she dislikes, and infighting between her children. She thinks Juan, her first eldest son, is in New Zealand but actually lives on the streets and accumulating debt. Pip turns out to have a daughter named Monay. Tudis quarrels with her husband, Troy, because of her daughter Seven being with another man. When Ina's children find out about her sickness, they are heartbroken and decide to change for the better, especially Juan and Tri.
After collapsing again at an event, Ina is rushed to the hospital, where Rowena is also due to give birth. All the children except Por arrive at her bedside. Ina initially thinks a light outside the room is God, which turns out to be from a film shoot. Then, another doctor arrives and says Ina has recovered.
