After the mass, Keenan, Dawn and her family went home. The church goers who passed by their house saw Keenan’s car parked behind the red SUV. While everyone in the house were having breakfast, the neighbors who passed by couldn’t help but crane their necks to see if the same car they saw back outside the church was really there. Right after breakfast, Keenan told Mariano that he was free to go back to the Alegre’s mansion and just pick him up later when he’s ready to go home. Mariano didn’t want to do that at first, but since Keenan said that they were not going anywhere anyway, he relented. Since Keenan had brought his violin,

Not only Claire was miffed by the current situation. There was also Giancarlo. This was the second day that they have seen Keenan attend mass with the Salcedo family. It wouldn’t have been strange if his parents were there as well, and were sitting at a different pew. But no–. The Governor and his wife were not there.

Linus was surprised when he was told by his mother that they would be celebrating Christmas at another place.   He had wanted to bring his family right after his kids’ classes ended but Amaya said she wanted to spend time with her side of the family. So he relented and went with her, with the promise that at least on Christmas eve, they would be spending it with his side of the family.   However, he and Amaya got into an argument which then led to her saying that she didn’t want to go to his family on that day. She then brought up other issues which have dampened the mood.   Linus had to tell Estela that they wouldn’t be coming for Christmas eve but would try to show up the next day or on New Year’s eve.   He was ho
