), a regular in the dating site, uses her Thai cousin Paula's (
Paula Taylor) picture to get known, which the latter consented. When the time for the eyeball, the real ones shocked when their proxies met, leading for Tot and Bunny to be jealous on their respective proxies and Tot to cast a curse that Delilah told him about, switching their personalities in 3 hours cycle, without cure to dispel the curse. Cursed, Tot got Samson's body, doing debauchery while in Samson's body, while Samson, trapped in Tot's body could do nothing but curse him.
Until one day, Samson tried to explain what happened, when Tot kisses her (using Samson's body), much to the former's anger and the girl walks out in sadness and anger. Tot is once again chained in the water tank, only released when he promised that he will tell the truth. They told the truth about the curse and they are reconciled, only for the curse to activate again. Don Pedro returns the land title he bought from Delilah's husband, whom he hated so much, proving his love for Delilah outbalances his hatred for Delilah's husband.
Back in the present, Tot and Samson swapped bodies again, the latter chasing the former out with a crutch as a weapon.
