“How is that different from rãpë? You knew what Jigs did to me. Why did you do it to another woman? You have ruined someone’s life. Did you do that for me? I can’t even stand the sight of you. You disgust me.”
The episode begins with Ella anxiously reflecting on her time with Rica at the clinic, and the realization dawns on her. Speaking of, Rica looks forward to winning the anti-voyeurism case so she would be seen as the truthful one. Karla assures her that it would happen.
Meanwhile, Dan joins Bea on the bench at the park, telling her that they’ve been looking for her. Bea brings up how her father had treated Rica, her favorite, recently.
However, Dan points out that they’re all his favorites. Bea goes on about how proud she is of her father, making note of the unpleasant stories she had heard from her colleagues about their own fathers.
She gets emotional as she recounts how Dan always lōvês and takes care of their family. She says it’s normal for him to get angry since he’s human, though she hopes that his anger doesn’t last too long. Dan gives Bea a reassuring touch and pulls her into a hug.
Chino pesters Axel with his feelings for Rica and Axel merely tells him that he would get over it. Recalling her latest encounter with Alberto, Audrey goes through her husband’s phone in hopes of getting some info about the witness. She returns the phone to its place on the desk a moment before Troy enters the room to talk about Bae’s viral video.
Realizing what he really wants to ask, Audrey assures Troy that she had no hand in what had happened at the old Sicat residence. Audrey reveals that she had only gone there because she wanted to tell him that she was finally open to welcome the Sicats in his life. Troy then apologizes for his misjudgment.
Later, Audrey calls Bobby on phone to notify him of her findings. They talk about the witness in Attorney Dizon’s custody, and Audrey decides that she’s done. The next day, Jigs pays his cousin a visit at the rehab center and he has her reassure him that the trial will go in his favor. Ella entertains Archie as he prepares the table for breakfast.
Archie asks for a good luck ki$$ and when she asks of the occasion, he lies through his teeth. Still, she wishes him good luck and once Archie leaves, her demeanor suddenly changes. Meanwhile, Rica gets ready for the hearing, and she receives goodwill messages from her coworkers at Balai Arkitektura.
Kyle in particular sends Rica a MMS; a photo of a part of the wall of the rooftop with some inscribed words: “I’m just here”. Rica can’t help but to smile. Bobby confronts Troy about the witness in their custody, and Troy taunts him, saying that his son would be found guilty and that it doesn’t matter to him if Jigs goes to jail for a year or a day.
“What matters to me is letting the people of Sidero know about the truth,” Troy scoffs. “That your son is guilty.”
“Do you think so?” Bobby jeers.
Attorney Dizon walks into the courtroom with Rica and her family, and she briefs them about how the proceeding would go. Rica then thanks her for all her help. Cecilia leaves her daughter at the clinic to go and take care of something and Ella takes advantage of the opportunity to slip away. The trial is underway and Attorney Dizon questions Jigs’ bogus claims and statements.
Ella spies from the outside as Archie takes the stand to spew more lies about how Rica had supposedly consented to the video being taken. Laura catches Archie off guard with a couple of questions, so the guy resorts to a new low to save himself. The shock on his face when he sets eyes on Ella is priceless.
Karla notices this so she follows Ella out and introduces herself. She then asks if she knows anything that could help her daughter’s case.
After getting all emotional reflecting on some moments with Rica, Ella turns to face Karla and she asks her to extend her appreciation to her daughter.
As Karla tries to get closer, some nosy pressmen impede her intent and begin hounding her. Back in the courtroom, Bong Tupas takes the witness stand and surprises Attorney Dizon and the Sicats by taking responsibility for the leaked video.
Rica and her family are dumbfounded. A flashback reveals how Tupas had been thrëateñed by the Ramoneses. The court breaks into a commotion and as the judge calls for order, Jigs eyes Rica and begins smiling devilishly.
Not wanting the shæmelëss pervert to see her cry, Rica turns to her father for solace. At the Montecillo residence, Archie struggles to get through to Ella who likens his personality to that of Jigs’. Archie says he’s nothing like Jigs.
“You posted a video of an innocent woman,” Ella notes. “Without her consent. It went viral. A lot of people have seen it, Archie. How is that different from rãpë?”
“I only did that for your sake,” Archie laments. “I wanted to get back at Jigs. I wanted to make him pay for the things that he did to you!”
Ella is exasperated. “You knew what Jigs did to me. Why did you do it to another woman?”
“I was consumed with anger. I wanted to get back at him.”
“You have ruined someone’s life, Archie. The way you were lying in the court, did you do that for me?”
Archie says he just wants the nightmare to be over so they can be together and start over somewhere else. However, Ella lashes out at him, saying that she wouldn’t be happy and at peace knowing that he had sacrificed Rica for that purpose.
She considers coming out to support Rica and expose Jigs since she’s also a victim. Archie pleads against that, saying that he’s just doing everything the Ramoneses have asked of him because they thrëãtened him and his father. Ella asks if that’s all there is to it and Archie says he’s just thinking of what’s best for her because he lōvês her.
He proceeds to hug her but Ella wiggles out of his hold. Archie pleads some more for her not to allow the situation to ruin their relationship since they lövê each other. Ella merely gives him a look, shaking her head in revolt as she recounts the things she had discovered at the court.
“I don’t know if I can lövê you again. I can’t even stand the sight of you. You disgust me.”
And with that, Ella kicks Archie out, demanding that he never show his face ever again. Before he leaves, Archie tells her that he would never give up until he earns her forgiveness.
Meanwhile, Rica is hounded by the press as her family escort her out. Knowing no shame, Jigs comes to Rica’s “defense”. He addresses the media and claiming to be the victim, he tells them that he’s willing to forgive Rica.
Dan fumes and storms over to beat some sense into the self-absorbed councilor pervert, but Karla holds him back and compels him to leave. Jigs resumes with his nonsense as the Sicats walk away. Rica seems to be in a daze as she walks away with her family, and the episode concludes with Jigs’ irritating voice ringing in her ears.
