On Wednesday, November 11, Alden got a surprise, when his grandmother Barbara Rockefeller vda de Faulkerson (played by Ai-Ai delas Alas) dropped by to visit him. Alden introduced Lola Babah to Nidora and Tidora as well as Yaya Dub. Lola Babah grilled Yaya Dub, saying that Yaya wasn't a good match for Alden. She instead recommended a model who graduated from an Ivy League school. Nidora and Tidora defended Yaya Dub, saying she was suitable for Alden, and Alden said he liked Yaya Dub for who she was.

Lola Nidora wasn't the only one celebrating her birthday week. When Lola Babah mentioned that it was her birthday (in real life, Ai-Ai celebrated her birthday on November 11), Yaya Dub presented her with birthday cupcakes. Nidora then gave another extension for Alden to look for the ring upon Lola Babah's request.

Meanwhile, Yaya sought Alden's help in making a tarpaulin for Nidora's birthday. She initially got worried about Alden's Lola and wanted to give up on their growing relationship, but Alden once again assured her that he liked her for who she was.

On Saturday, November 14, the day of Nidora's birthday surprise, Yaya Dub, Alden, and Tidora continue to finalize the arrangements. Nidora meanwhile had some time to herself, saying she was a bit sad her siblings and Yaya forgot her birthday.
But of course, it was all a ploy to surprise Lola:

Meanwhile, Lola Babah made an appearance once again, and she greeted Nidora on her birthday. She was also introduced to Helen. Lola Babah then asked if Alden was sure about Yaya Dub. Of course, Alden said yes.

As it was her birthday, Lola Babah said that she was giving Nidora more time to come up with the money (P20 million) to pay for the mansion. Also, Nidora said that she has not forgotten the ring Alden lost. When asked how much the ring was, Nidora said it was P21 million – the episode stopped there.
Will they find the ring of everlasting love? How will Nidora come up with the money to save the mansion? The adventure continues in next week's kalyeserye.
