== Description ==
Jennifer doesn't trust Lucio, especially not when Veruca's death gets confirmed. John and Belinda plan on living together, which doesn't sit well with Kira. Gerald and Gina find Helen.
== Story ==
Jennifer looks at Lucio.
: I got nothing to do with that. Why are you suspecting me of that?
: You swore on getting revenge on Winston, Diana and Veruca. You were gone when Winston and Veruca disappeared and you were there when Diana died.
: She died because of a stroke.
: Still. I've been warned for you before and I have always had you back but if I find out that you've got something to do with this then you'll lose me and Iris.
She grabs Iris and carries her away as Lucio looks after her, pissed.
Gerald, Gina and the police officers keep looking around as one of the dogs start to bark. The officers rush towards that place as they start to dig. Gerald and Gina hold each other as they dig up a coffin. They quickly open it as Gerald sees Helen's face.
: THAT'S HER!
He rushes to them as he tries to touch Helen, however, one of the officers pulls him away.
Police Officer: We're taking care of her immediately.
He walks towards the other officers.
Police Officer: Let's bring her to the hospital. Immediately!
Gerald looks after the officers.
: I need to join them! I need to go there!
: They know what they're doing, uncle Gerald. Maybe it's better if we drive to the hospital ourselves?
: I don't want to lose her, Gina. I really don't.
: You won't lose her, silly! Let's go.
They step into Gerald's car as Gerald follows the police cars.
Salvador is still in Sweden as he arrives back at the cottage. He sees the suitcase of Veruca, that's barely unpacked. Some clothes and other stuff that belong to her as he's shaking his head. Someone then knocks on the door as Salvador immediately opens the door, thinking it's Veruca. However, it's someone else.
: Oh excuse me - I thought you were my girlfriend.
Cottage Owner: You are mister Trinci, right? The one who booked this cottage?
: I am.
Cottage Owner: I need you to follow me.
He walks towards the centre as Salvador follows him, looking rather nervous. The owner enters the local hospital as he looks at Salvador.
Cottage Owner: I need to warn you.
He knocks on the door of a department.
Cottage Owner: I got mister Trinci for you.
A man opens the door, letting Salvador in.
Nurse: Mister Trinci, I am afraid I have terrible news.
: What is it?
Nurse: This morning, two mountain-climbers found a body of a young woman. We think she fell off the cliff at the corner of the island here. We need you to identificate her as Veruca Wingate.
: No ...
He looks stunned as the nurse hands him Veruca's passport. The nurse then walks towards a bed with a white blanket, as someone's laying under it. They remove the blanket as Salvador sees Veruca's face.
: Veruca ...
Salvador bursts out in tears as he holds Veruca's hand. The nurse decides to exit the room as Salvador keeps crying.
' *COMMERCIAL BREAK*
Kira is having lunch at the Armine apartment as the door gets opened by John, who arrives together with Belinda.
: Hello hello hello!
: Hi.
She takes a bite of her sandwich.
: Enjoy your meal!
: Mhm.
John scratches his head briefly.
: Kira, you got a moment? We need to share something very important with you.
: Let me guess, you're going to live together.
She bursts out of laughter as Belinda and John look towards each other. Kira notices that she might have correctly guessed it.
: Wait ...
: We're serious about our relationship and we want to continue our lives together. We bet on a house so we can live in it.
: Oh and I can just go back to the streets.
John smiles.
: No, you're coming with us. And so are the children of Belinda.
: I'm sure you'll like them. Maurits is a very sensitive boy while Chelsey -
: Hold up - do I have a say in this? Who says I'm looking forward to be living with these strangers?
Belinda blushes while John sighs.
: Can you be happy for me, Kira?
: Happy? I was happy when Silvana and you adopted me and that we got to be a family. But this? This feels like forced torture. But sure, buy the house, I'll find my way in with my real mother Xenia.
She rushes towards her room as John looks at Belinda.
: I'm sorry ...
: I have a teenage daughter, I'm used to this. Give her some time and space to get used to the idea.
John nods.
Gerald and Gina arrive at the hospital as they see a nurse.
: Helen Hall, where is she? She was brought in here.
Nurse: She's here, but you can't visit here yet.
: Is she doing fine?
Nurse: I can't say anything about it yet, I'm sorry. If there's more information, we'll let you know about it.
Gerald takes a deep sigh as he takes a seat, staring in front of him.
: I really hope she's okay.
: She is. She is doing okay. Trust me.
She strokes the back of her uncle.
Lucio and Jennifer are sitting in the livingroom as Dolly arrives with a plate of tea.
: Can I serve you some tea?
: No, thanks Dolly.
: Me neither.
The doorbell rings as Dolly places the plate on the table, opening the door as she lets Salvador in. He looks in panic and is very frustrated as both Jennifer and Lucio stand up.
: Salvador ...
: She's dead. Veruca's dead.
: What?!
: They think she fell of a cliff.
Lucio tries to put on a pokerface as Jennifer looks at him. She then looks back at Salvador as she hugs him. He starts to cry heavily then.
: She looked terrible. She had so many wounds. She didn't deserve this.
Lucio stares at Salvador, not showing any emotion.
: Can I stay here? For at least the night. I can't go anywhere.
: Of course you can stay. I'll ask Dolly to prepare the guest room for you.
She then looks at Lucio.
: If your dad's fine with it.
Lucio nods as Jennifer looks sharp at him.
John is sitting at his apartment as he's frowning, looking at the hall.
: Kira? Hello?
There's music coming from her room as John decides to stand up, walking towards the room as he knocks on the door.
: Kira. Can I come in?
There's no sign as John decides to open the door, noticing that Kira has been crying as she's sitting on her bed. John turns off the music as he walks to her.
: Hey ... are you okay?
: No.
She wipes away her tears.
: I feel like everything's going wrong. Silvana, Diana and Arnold died. Gina's nowhere to be found, Jake's busy with his stupid soccerball matches. And now I'm gonna lose you too.
John smiles.
: Are you crazy? You'll not lose me. Never. We've been through so much together, Kira. You are my daughter.
Kira smiles as well now.
: John, if you want to live with Belinda then I'll support you and I wish you to be happy for always.
John looks relieved.
: But you'll have to do it without me. I'm not ready for this. If you want to live with Belinda then I'm gone.
John looks concerned now.
