“What are you doing here? Why are you going through my things? If someone should be blamed for this, it should be you. Maybe she was kidnäppęd by the people who hate your whole family! Go home, Marco. I said leave!!!”
The episode begins with Cardo doing some dishes and Alyana sitting idly observing. She silently plots to get the keys to Cardo’s jeep by getting him drunk. And so she begins complaining about how boring the town is and suggests that they have some drinks.
When she persists, Cardo decides to go and ask Caloy for some booze. Meanwhile, Teddy and Virgie find Marco asleep outside in his car, and they’re compelled to wake him up and take him inside.
Cardo returns with a bottle of drink and Alyana eagerly pours it out to go with some leftover grilled fish. Back at the Arevalos, Virgie föôlishly entertains Marco and agrees to let him stay over until Alyana returns. Teddy gives his insufferable wife a look, evidently upset.
Back at Santo Nino, Alyana and Cardo reminisce about their past and unfriendly confrontations. Cardo asks when she had realized she had feelings for him and Alyana says it was when he had rescued her from Eric Maniego, the serial k!ller.
Cardo and Alyana both reflect on some other memories, leading up to their marriage and the birth of Ricky Boy. Alyana notes that one of the happiest times was when she and their son used to go with him on his trips when he had been a jeepney driver.
She reflects on the bömbiñg that had claimed Ricky Boy’s life and they’re both left miserable now. Cardo pleads for a chance to make it up to her and prove his lövê. He asks for forgiveness and Alyana cuts him off and goes to bed.
The next morning, Alyana wakes up and carefully tries to get the keys from Cardo’s pocket. Ironically, our favorite hero suddenly grabs her hand and jerks awake, asking if she wanted to, you know, do thing.
The thing couples do in bed. Alyana shoves him away, calling him a pervert and a creep. She storms out where she runs into Doray and Elizabeth who ask for her company to buy some stuff at the market for the fiesta. Back inside, Cardo smirks to himself.
“Can’t outsmart me,” Cardo jeers, brandishing the keys.
Alyana grudgingly agrees and she doesn’t waste time to join the women in order to get away from her husband. At the Palace, President Hidalgo nags Casillag with his suspicion of the Vendetta being guilty because of the CCTV footage that had captured Romulo and Diana.
Even when Casillag suggests that they wait for the final investigation from the PNP, Oscar continues whining and begins to insinuate that General Borja might be covering up for his grandson.
General Borja deliberates with his men about the ongoing investigation and makes known how the president seems to be losing trust in him. On that note, he hopes that they can solve the case as soon as possible before the situation gets worse.
At Santo Nino, Cardo joins his buddies to talk about his situation with his wife, as well as the scheme he had initiated in order to prevent her from leaving. Meanwhile, psyçhö Marco goes through Teddy’s stuff. He takes interest in some photos of Cardo and Alyana together.
“What if Cardo’s family and your family are hiding you from me? That they’re all against me? I won’t let them make a fòöl out of me.”
Teddy walks in on the scene. “What are you doing here?” he asks in disbelief. “Why are you going through my things?”
Psyçhö Marco looks on silently just like a rabid rat caught in a trap. Anyway, Alyana parts ways with Doray and Elizabeth at the market, where some clothes brings back memories of her time with Cardo’s family. She sees a denim jacket and reflects on the time she had gotten a similar one for Cardo.
Doray and Elizabeth find her and begin teasing her, saying that she’s buying it for her husband. Alyana claims she was just trying to see if the jacket suited her. A jacket meant for men. She discards the jacket and buys some blouses instead.
Teddy suggests that his would-be son-in-law should go home already and the guy begins with his suspicions. The psyçhö declares that he (Teddy) can’t hide Alyana from him forever. Teddy is at a loss for words, and when Marco demands that he bring out his daughter, Virgie tries to talk some sense into him and tries to make him see that they don’t know where their daughter is.
“If someone should be blamed for this, it should be you,” Teddy says to psyçhö Marco. “You were with her the night she suddenly disappeared. Maybe she was kidnäppęd by the people who hate your whole family! Go home, Marco.”
Marco stares back at Teddy dumbly like s lost sheep.
“I said leave!!!”
Psyçhö Marco dumps the photos and storms out. Back at Santo Nino, Javier eyes Alyana and approaches her on her way from the market. He makes some lame promise before Doray and Elizabeth steal away with her. The preparations for the fiesta soon begins.
At the Palace, General Borja tells the president that according to a witness, Homer had also been spotted in the area when the van had crashed into the gate. Oscar begins speculating that Homer and Cardo could be working together, and Delfin disagrees and points out the fact that both groups have been enemies for a long time.
Over the phone, Hipolito assures the vice president that his men are already geared up for their assignment. Meanwhile, some inmates badmouth Brandon and make mockery of him for losing the election. Brandon gets his hands on a stick which he uses to beat them all up.
Lucas comes to see his son in prison and charges him to stay out of trouble because he needs him alive. Brandon is doubtful of getting out of jail and Lucas assures him that everything would change soon. While Homer and his minions set out for their next assignment, Yolly, Elmo and Wally go house hunting and struggle to find a decent and affordable place.
However, their luck suddenly changes when they run into the captain of the neighborhood.Captain Dingding brings Grandma Flora and her family to an old house belonging to her aunt, hoping that they could be neighbors.
When she leaves to call said aunt in question, Elmo and the other guys begin complaining about how messy the place looks. Yolly scolds them and asks them to be grateful the captain is even helping them. Grandma Flora supports her and makes note of how Dingding had even been so generous to let them name their price.
While Alyana helps with the cooking for the fiesta, Marco arrives home in a bad mood and begins ranting about how the Arevalo couple have been making a fòöl of him and hiding Alyana from him.
Menchu entertains his lunacy as he vows to make them all pay. He wastes no time to get his hand on a güñ. Mädnêss never looked that good on anyone. If it had a name, it would definitely be Marco Cabrera. Psyçhö Marco Cabrera. Can’t argue with that.
“Now I’m convinced that Marco and Alyana must not end up together,” Teddy states at home.
Virgie disagrees with him as expected. “The man was only confused.”
“He has hurt Alyana in the past,” Teddy points out. “Now he’s hurling accusations at us. If she wanted to stay away, then she did the right thing.”
Catherine walks in on her demėnted overgrown baby boy handling the güñ. When she tries to reason with him, Marco begins ranting and even threatens to use the güñ to get the truth he wants.
Catherine makes an attempt to get the güñ but Marco wrestles with her as Menchu comes upon the scene. The güñ suddenly goes off and unfortunately, it doesn’t hit anyone in the head. Or the heart. But that’s enough to snap Marco out of his çrãziness.
Psyçhö son apologizes and hugs gullible mother. Eww. Pathetic. Disgusting. And what have you. Anyway, the president begins to consider the possibility of Lucas having been right about the Vendetta, so Casillag speculates that the vigilantes could have set Brandon up if it’s indeed true.
Oscar begins whining again about his doubts of General Borja’s loyalty and integrity. Meanwhile, some armed masked men ambush the convoy of the vice president and begin gûnñing down his bodyguards. Conveniently enough, Lucas hides unscathed in his car.
