“I can take away everything you have right now. Your husband, your fortune, your social status. Who is the real trash? You, a lying, deceitful, shameless mürderêr. Even if you douse yourself with perfume, you will never get rid of the rotten smell of your soul!”
Lena explains to Jordan that what he had seen earlier is part of the plan but Jordan who’s evidently upset insinuates that she’s been enjoying it. He reminds her of how Miguel had treated her before and Lena takes offense and reveals that it’s not easy for her to pretend to be okay with the guy when all she wants is to k!ll him already.
Jordan then asks why she’s been torturing herself in the name of rëveñge. Jordan rants about how Lena has been exposing her body and throwing herself at Miguel and he gets a slãp for his trouble.
At the Narcisos, Rachel reaffirms her decision to end things with Miguel, and Vanessa counsels her against making rash decisions. She then riles up Rachel against Lena, urging her to not let Lena steal her husband from her.
Lena is determined to get back at her enemies at all cost in spite of Jordan’s reservation. Jordan says he’s not okay with how her plans has been hurting innocent people like Rachel. Lena is appalled as she sees Rachel to be as guilty as the Narcisos.
They argue over the proper way to get back at Miguel and Lena makes it crystal clear that she won’t spare Rachel. Vanessa continues to talk Rachel into fighting for her marriage and against Lena.
Later, she tells Conrad that his daughter’s falling out with her husband is probably part of Lena’s rëveñge. Conrad reveals that he’s asked some friends of his to investigate M&R so they could find something they could use against them. Conrad hugs Vanessa.
From downstairs, Adrian and Allison see them so Vanessa wriggles out of the embrace once she notices. A moment later, the Narcisos and Conrad argue over the one to blame for Rachel’s misery.
Vanessa says its Lena’s fault but Adrian believes Miguel is the one at fault because he already has history with Lena. He even insinuates that Miguel probably still has feelings for her.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”
“No,” Vanessa objects. “This is all on Lena. It’s all her fault.”
“I agree,” Conrad chimes in. “That’s why we should do something about her.”
Adrian hangs out at a bar and criticizes women in general. He fantasizes about k!lliñg Lena and begins wondering why he still can’t bring himself to do it despite how she had deceived and used him.
Meanwhile, Jordan takes out his anger on the poor punching bag at home. His father comes to check up in him and they soon discuss Rambo’s adoption. Since Kiko is urgently needed in Manila, Jordan offers to see the adoption through.
The next morning, Jordan accompanies Digna and Rambo to the town hall. Rambo and Jordan are surprised to learn that it’s not the first time that Digna is adopting.
Meanwhile, Lena and company deliberate on Miguel’s marriage to Rachel. Lena is warned against the possibility of Conrad and the Narcisos teaming up against her.
“That would be better,” Lena says. “Their whole family would be in chaos.”
“Those people are cunning,” Ramona notes. “They will be watching your every move.”
Lena merely smiles. “They’ll never be prepared for what I’ll do.”
Following the incident at the town hall, Jordan asks his mother if she’s adopted someone before and Digna claims that it hadn’t really pushed through because they had just enquired about the process back then. Later at M&R, Lena and Adrian apologize to each other and reconcile.
Lena charges Adrian to come over to her place later because they and the others would be having a meeting over dinner. Lena prepares the table in her house and when the doorbell rings, she gladly goes to open the door and is shocked at the unpleasant surprise she meets. It’s Lucas who’s with some men.
An argument ensues and revealing that he’s the new owner of the building, Lucas threatens to kick Lena out. Enter Ramona who argues that it isn’t lawful for him to do that even if he’s now the owner. Lucas declares that he’s the law and proceeds to kick Lena out.
Outraged and eager to regain her unit to continue her plans against Miguel, Lena has Ramona blackmail Vanessa into doing her bidding. Later that night, Vanessa meets up with Conrad who suggests that they reveal the truth already in order to be rid of Lena’s blackmails.
Vanessa is reluctant to do so since she doesn’t want to lose her husband and son.The next morning, Queen Vanessa shows up at M&R to inform Lena that she can now go back to her condo unit on the condition that she would stop getting between Rachel and Miguel.
Lena laughs and makes mockery of Vanessa, and Ramona joins the fun, telling her that they can do whatever they want because they have her by the throat.
“I told you not to test my patience,” Lena taunts. “With just one push of a button, I can take away everything you have right now. Your husband, your fortune, your social status.”
Vanessa takes offense. “I will not be manipulated by someone like you, you disgũsting piece of trãsh.”
Lena feigns being offended as Ramona rolls her eyes. “Piece of trãsh? Between the two of us, who is the real trãsh? Me, trying to give you a taste of your own medicine? Or you, a lying, deceitful, shæmelëss mürderêr? Even if you douse yourself with perfume, you will never get rid of the rotten smell of your soul!”
Lena demands for her keys in such comical manner and when Vanessa grudgingly hands it over, she kicks her out after humiliating her some more.
Without wasting time, Lena moves back into her condo and gloats over the beating Queen Vanessa would probably get from her husband King Lucas once he finds out that she had helped her regain her unit. Vanessa is upset and hailing curses at Lena as she paces around. Lo and behold, Lucas rewards her with a slãp after learning of what she had done.
He questions her and Vanessa explains that she had done it for him because they could sue him for breaking the law of property leasing. Lucas throws a fit and when Vanessa brings up valid reasons for her actions, he rebuts them.
“But…but Lucas…”
“Something’s fishy here, Vanessa. I can smell it. Why are you trying to appease Lena?”
“Of course I’m not,” Vanessa grumbles.
“Does she have something on you? Doe she have you by the throat?”
“Of course not.”
Lucas refuses to be fooled. “I’ll find out eventually.”
Adrian begins with his free plastic surgery program to boost the image of his family and their company. He talks a particular patient into recommending and praising Lucas his father on some medical show.
During dinner, Lena gloats over the discord she had sowed between Rachel and Miguel. Betchay belittles Rachel and when Jordan objects to her claims, she dares him to prove her wrong. Ramona receives a text message from Conrad asking to see her for a proposal.
She soon meets up with the commissioner in the company of Martina. Conrad offers to help them with their troubles provided that they make Lena move out of the condominium, adding that he doesn’t want his daughter getting hurt or her marriage getting ruined.
Ramona taunts him and tells him that they would only agree to the deal if he hands Brian over to them. After Conrad has left, Ramona and Martina secure some specimen of Conrad’s DNA to compare to Adrian’s. Since they don’t yet have Adrian’s DNA, they decide to do a test against Lena’s DNA first.
Meanwhile, Vanessa makes deliberate attempts to convince Miguel to make up with his wife. Jordan stakes out the bar, awaiting Adrian’s arrival so he could get a DNA sample from him. Betchay joins him and they soon spot Rachel sitting alone.
Back at Royal Wellness, Miguel grumbles about how his wife always parties and doesn’t care if he starves to death. And the fact that she doesn’t want to have a baby yet just makes matters worse because she’s more concerned with her career as a model.
Vanessa argues that they’re both young so Rachel might not be okay with rushing to have a baby. Miguel sighs. “I don’t know, aunt. I’m really tired. I give up.”
