Margaret On Why She Questioned Luis's Character
Joseph's, however, defended her reason for growing doubts over Luis's intention.
"I think we're all very protective of Teresa. You'll have to see but I mean if you read social media you can see where it comes from. As long as Teresa likes him, that's all that matters. That's the most important thing, as long as Teresa's happy. I don't have to marry him."
This episode happened before Teresa and Luis's wedding.

'Grudge Holder'

"But what about Melissa and Joe? I know there's issues," Margaret asks, to which Teresa responds, "Because of you."
