Excited to reunite with her partner after a trip out of the country, Toni Gonzaga’s character Julie tries to seduce John Lloyd Cruz as Romeo by “enhancing” her physical gifts on their hit sitcom “Home Sweetie Home” this Sunday (March 16).

Romeo had been in Singapore for a few days, and the Valentino family is eager for his return—especially Julie, who even takes a day off from school to spend more time with her husband when he arrives.

Before meeting up with Romeo again, a co-teacher of Julie thanks her for a favor by giving her a gift. It just so happens that the gift is something that makes Julie feel sexier, and she decides that it’s perfect for her husband’s arrival. She tries to find the perfect sexy outfit to go well with it, making all sorts of attempts to appear more attractive to Romeo.

What gift does Julie receive that makes her act this way? Will Romeo appreciate this different version of Julie or will it just be a turn-off?
