“Once I joined Vendetta, my eyes were opened to a suffering nation. More than my personal agenda. Maybe faith brought us together because we all have one goal in mind – and that is to help our fellow men. And our dear country.”
President Hidalgo and his party members watch a news report and celebrate their victory in the election. Unfortunately Captain Gina also wins and is now one of the councilors. At the tenement, Ramil proposes that they clear the area around the backyard so they could make good use of it.
General Borja and his men deliberate on the case of the tampered voting machines and the missing officers. Delfin fears that all of the policemen and soldiers might be deãd.
Billy reveals that he’s confirmed some members of the Vendetta had been spotted surveying the area around the voting precincts the same day the voting machines had been intercepted.
Delfin hopes to speak with Cardo since he believes that he might have some crucial info. The members of the Vendetta proceed to clear the backyard. Oscar has a talk with his wife and dreads the possibility of there being a traitor among his own party.
On that note, he decides to be careful. William and Casillag look on. The president and his first lady deliberate on the tampered voting machines, with Marissa hoping that the allegations against Lucas doesn’t turn out to be true.
“But I think they are,” Oscar mentions. “It’s possible that not all of them – not Hipolito and the rest of his party are involved in this.”
“You mean there are others?” Marissa asks.
“I will find out, and I will not stop until all the perpetrators are finally exposed and brought to justice.”
William is stupefied. Anyway, then-Captain now Councilor Gina troubles her constituents with a marching band as she celebrates her victory in the election, much to the dismay of the Dalisay family.
William briefs the vice president about Oscar and Marissa’s conversation and when Lucas charges him to stand up for him, William tells him that it would be hard because he’s also lost the trust of the president.
Wally and Xavier seek employment at a certain company and when it’s confirmed that they were part of the troll farm that had been raided, they’re rejected and prevented from applying with the others.
Hipolito hangs out with Homer, quite upset that he hadn’t been able to bag any position in the government. At camp Crame, Billy asks Delfin if he’s thinking of collaborating with Cardo.
General Borja admits that the idea has crossed his mind before. Billy notes that if it’s proven that our favorite hero and his group had stopped the delivery of the tampered voting machine, then they contributed a lot to the elections.
Speaking of, Cardo and his comrades, along with the girls band together to feast at their new hangout spot at the backyard.
“But…it’s the vice-president they’re up against,” Delfin laments back at Camp Crame. “The Cabreras would get back at them. I’m greatly concerned for Cardo and his group. Perhaps in their next mission, they may end up losing their lives.”
With the new hangout spot now finally set up, Romulo thanks everyone for their help before they proceed to drink together. At the Palace, Lucas congratulates Oscar on his victory and asks him to help out Brandon because he’s set to be transferred to the city jail to await arraignment.
Oscar refuses to interfere and he’s even more outraged when Lucas also asks him to talk to the judge handling Brandon’s case. Meanwhile, Alyana and the other workers of MC Digital work on some blasted project. Lucas insists that Brandon was just set up.
He makes another lame attempt to talk the president into doing his bidding, but Oscar won’t be fööled. The president merely asks his vice to trust the justice system for his son’s innocence to be proven, if he’s really innocent.
He declares that he would let his own son face trial if he was in his position. He then suggests that Lucas step down from the vice president position. Lucas is stupefied and for good reason.
General Borja wastes his time to interrogate Brandon again. The Congressman who’s so full of himself refuses to admit to a crime ‘he didn’t commit’. Delfin declares that the truth will eventually come out in court. He mentions that his dad might be joining him soon enough in prison. Brandon warns him and reminds him who his father is.
The General is unfazed and indifferent as he declares that he still has faith in the law, the most powerful entity in the land. Vice President Cabrera updates Brandon about how his talk with the president had gone horribly wrong. Brandon asks if he would really give up his position and Lucas declares that he would have to be deãd for that to happen.
Vice President Hidalgo and his wife talk about the very same matter and Marissa supports her husband’s decision. Meanwhile, Romulo, Diana, Ramil and Cardo make known to the girls their reasons for joining the vigilante group.
“Once I joined Vendetta, my eyes were opened to a suffering nation,” notes our favorite hero. “More than my personal agenda. Maybe faith brought us together because we all have one goal in mind – and that is to help our fellow men. And our dear country.”
Councilor Gina and her minions and followers have another round of celebration right outside Grandma Flora’s house. Inside, the family express their disgust with the new councilor, convinced that the money she had used for her victory party came from public funds and donations.
While the Vendetta continue to feast together and be merry, Vice President Cabrera makes a futile attempt to intimidate General Borja.Lucas blabbers nonstop and pronounces that no ordinary person like Delfin can tarnish his family’s reputation.
General Borja taunts him with how he failed to keep the promise he had made to the people to rid the government of corrupt and dishonest politicians. Delfin declares that the current situation has gotten even worse.
“You’ve got guts, Borja,” Lucas intones.
Delfin stands up to the vice president. “And so do you, Mr. Vice President. You’ll do everything to cover up for your son.”
“We’re just the same. We’ll both do anything to protect our families. Blood is indeed thicker than water.”
A face-off ensues. The Vendetta and the Flower Power Girls deliberate on the crimes and scandals of the Cabrera family. Lucas charges Hipolito to order all his men to eliminate Cardo and the Vendetta so they wouldn’t be able to ruin their plans anymore.
The Vulture is more than happy to oblige. Alyana returns home from work to brief her parents about how her illëgâl boyfriend has started changing for the better. Teddy vows to deal with the pysçhö should he become violent or stir up trouble again.
Elmo sadly hands Grandma Flora a letter he had received on Cardo’s behalf. Turns out that it’s from the trial court. Wally returns home to the gloomy demeanors of his family who are distressed with the fact that the thing Cardo calls a wife had actually pushed through with the annulment.
Meanwhile, Cardo broods by himself as he reflects on his last encounter with Alyana and her illëgâl psyçhö boyfriend. Hipolito orders Homer to hunt down the Vendetta. The Scorpion is excited and promises not to waste the opportunity, and the Vulture snaps and demands that he just do it and stop making empty promises.
Homer gets off the phone, sulking like a brat who’s just been scolded by his daddy. In the meantime, the Vendetta continue hanging out with the girls while Cardo keeps on brooding.
