“Your suspicions are pointless. You don’t even have proof! You want me to tell you the truth?! Once Alyana comes back, I will not allow her to get back together with you! This has to stop, Marco! You need to stay away for everyone’s sake!!!”
Grandma Flora has a talk with her family about seeing Marco outside the house and they begin to wonder the lengths he would go to in order to find out where Alyana is. Flora calls Teddy on phone to inform him of the incident, dreading how the psyçhö’s actions could affect the kids. Teddy relays the info to his family and as usual, Virgie blindly defends her frustrated would-be son-in-law.
However, Teddy tells JP of the truth and vows to knock some sense into psyçhö Marco to put an end to everything. Virgie continues with her nonsensical arguments in favor of psyçhö Marco and Teddy lashes out at her, saying that their daughter wouldn’t have gone missing if only he had ended their relationship long ago.
In Santo Nino, Cardo comes clean about why they had lied about his wife’s condition. He apologizes to Alyana and she understands and assures him that she isn’t upset. Mario then offers to treat them all to some food. In the meantime, Marco receives word from Teddy to come over to his house.
The public opinion is divided over Lucas and some have started believing in Brandon’s innocence. Catherine asks his husband why he wants to thrêaten the judge and Lucas says he doesn’t take chances. They argue over Brandon and Marco.
Speaking of, Teddy questions Marco whether it’s true that he had been lurking outside Flora’s house. When he remains silent, Teddy urges him not to cause the family anymore trouble. Psyçhö Marco glares as Virgie and JP look on.
“I believe they know where she is!” psyçhö Marco explodes. “You do too!”
“Your suspicions are pointless,” Teddy remarks. “You don’t even have proof!”
“All of you! Why are you lying to me?! You’re keeping Alyana from me!!!”
Virgie butts in and assures Marco that they would never lie to him. Teddy says with how he’s been acting, they wouldn’t tell him even if they knew where their daughter was.
“Why are you doing this?!” psyçhö Marco yells.
Teddy has had and heard enough. “Alright! You want me to tell you the truth?! Once Alyana comes back, I will not allow her to get back together with you!”
Psyçhö Marco loses it. “You can’t do this to me! You can’t!”
“This has to stop, Marco! You need to stay away for everyone’s sake!!!”
“Never.”
Psyçhö Marco tries to get in Teddy’s face and when JP holds him off, he shoves him away. Teddy rewards Marco with a sweet punch. While Virgie holds off the lünatiç from retaliating, JP also keeps his dad from beating some more sense into him. Catherine treats her misërãble son’s bruises and rants nonstop about suing Teddy.
In Santo Nino, Cardo tells the chairman of his intention to help out in the neighborhood and Caloy reveals to him his days with the SAF.
A gang of armed men walk through the town to join Javier’s group. Baldo the leader happens to be Javier’s brother and he’s come down the mountain with his group after escaping the authorities.
Later that night, both groups hang out at Javier’s hut. Baldo asks what had happened to his brother’s face and Javier claims he had gotten drunk and tripped. He talks all high and mighty, much to the amusement of his men.
During dinner, Alyana admits to Cardo that she hopes to settle down with him in the town because she’s come to like the quiet and simple life. In Manila, Psyçhö Marco confronts his men and lashes out at them for being unable to find Alyana and Cardo.
He then orders them to double their efforts in their search. Meanwhile, Cardo and Alyana agree to go back to Manila to say goodbye to their families and friends before they begin their new life in Santo Nino.
A random goon tells lünatiç boss that it might be time to stop the search because they’ve done everything they could. Psyçhö Marco snaps, pulls out his güñ and threatens to k!ll anyone who tries to quit.
Back in Santo Nino, Baldo gets to learn of the real story behind his brother’s bruised face. The next morning, while Cardo and Alyana get ready for the trip to Manila, Baldo sets out with his men to meet the man who beat up his brother.
Alyana assures our favorite hero that she wouldn’t change her mind even if her parents get upset with her decision. Baldo arrives outside with his gãñg while Cardo and Alyana are having breakfast inside.
When the gãñg ask for Cardo, Mario and his buddies make them believe that he’s bedridden and still recovering from the beating he received recently. The crooks then demand that the guys tell their friend to get out of the town.
Cardo and Alyana inform Caloy’s family of their intention to leave for Manila today. The guys refrain from mentioning the incident earlier and they urge the Dalisay couple to go on and spend some time in the city.
Cardo and Alyana say their goodbyes and begin their journey back to the city. Meanwhile, Grandma Flora finally agrees to partner with Margie in her business. In no time, Margie brings the family to the canteen at the city hall and shows them the stall they would be using.
“How will I manage this?” Flora worries. “I don’t have a lot of equipment. I won’t be able to contribute a large amount.”
“Didn’t I tell you I would help out?” Margie prompts.
Councilor Gina leaves her food stall to cause trouble as usual. “Help? What help do you need, Grandma Flora? What are the charges, tęrrôrism?”
Yolly, Elmo and the others taunt Gina with the food stall they would be opening. Gina thinks they want to compete with her so she vows to give them war. A moment later, Margie introduces Flora to the mayor.
President Hidalgo informs his unknown worst enemy vice president Cabrera about the special task force he’s formulated to hunt down the Vendetta, spearheaded by General Perez. The mayor brings his staff to eat at Flora’s eatery, much to the displeasure of Councilor Gina.
The treacherous CIDG asset updates General Perez on the lead he’s gotten on the Vendetta and he’s ordered to keep it a secret from General Borja. The shady high-ranking official looks forward to getting promoted once he clamps down on the vigilante group.
Speaking of, Miss Becky and her kids bring the members of the Vendetta some food and supplies since they can’t risk going outside. Meanwhile, vice president Cabrera pays General Perez an impromptu visit to ask about the investigation.
“I’ll show you my full support,” Lucas declares.
“This is the end for Vendetta,” so claims General Perez.
“So you have info?”
“Yes, sir. We might have info on the hideout of Vendetta.”
“Where is it exactly?” asks the vice president.
General Perez is reluctant to answer that question so vice president Cabrera points out that he enjoys the president’s full trust. Again, he asks of the location of the Vendetta’s hideout.
“In Legarda, sir. We have yet to confirm it but when we do, we’ll strike.”
