“Now there’s two of us. And you can expect that we will never back down from this. If this battle needs several women to come together, just to bring one man to his knees, then that’s what we’re going to do. They will not be able to silence us anymore.”
Pogs catches up with Bea and they end up staring at each other lovingly, all the while walking together. Some random girl breaks up the moment to ask Bea about Raven. As Bea gladly chats with her, Krystel and her group join her and their conversation.
They liken Bea to Raven and Pogs looks on in disbelief as Bea ditches him to go and hang out with the girls. Audrey finds her friends at a restaurant and tries get their attention but they deliberately ignore her. Bobby witnesses the humiliating scene and leave it to him to come over to make mockery of Audrey.
Raven fails to reach her father on phone so she sends him a text message, asking if he’s okay. At Balai Arkitektura, Rica isn’t able to get to the mayor on phone so she also sends a text message. Rica glances at the boss’ office and finds it empty.
As if on cue, she receives a text message from Kyle, telling her that he had driven to Manila to see his mother. In Manila, Kyle asks his mother if Troy had anything to do with his father’s dëāth. He shows her the trending article and Consuelo urges him not to bother himself with it since it had driven his father to obsession.
“I can’t avoid it,” Kyle laments. “I lövê Rica but her father is Troy Ramones.”
“What?” Consuelo says in disbelief.
“He’s Rica’s biological father.”
“Tell Rica to stay away from that man. He’s a liar. He can’t be trusted.”
Kyle asks of what had happened and Consuelo mentions that his father suspected the contactor of being responsible for the collapse of the building. She recounts how the mayor had ignored Philip’s pleas to investigate the matter.
Also, she reveals that a few weeks before Philip had died, he had called her to tell her of some evidence he had found. Consuelo had been upset with her husband’s obsession so instead of her to ask of the kind of evidence he had found, she reprimanded him. She then blames herself for Philip’s untimely dëāth.
Rica sits by herself in the pantry, burdened by her situation with the mayor and her boyfriend, and Axel comes to check up on her for a moment. Back in Manila, Consuelo takes full responsibility for her husband’s dëāth because she had practically abandoned him and made him feel bad during their last phone call.
Kyle speculates that the reason his father might have jumped to his dëāth that day might have nothing to do with either of them but the evidence he found. Bea continues to entertain the girls as they talk about the stuff they like. Pogs sits nearby with Brax and listens as Bea makes the girls believe that she also has a cook at home.
Pogs begs to differ and taunts Bea with her terrible cooking skills. Krystel invites them, Brax included, to her upcoming birthday party and Brax has Pogs invited too. Dan sits with his boys in the living room, sulking and glaring at the bodyguard stationed outside.
Raylin is coming over to Dan excitedly when she bumps into said bodyguard and she begins making advances at him. Karla receives a phone call from attorney Dizon. At BA, Rica receives a text message from the mayor who asks her to come over to the city hall later today.
In no time, Rica and her parents simultaneously arrive at the city hall teeming with spectators and the media.The mayor mounts the podium and goes on about how the online article maligning his good reputation is nothing but an attempt to discourage him and the Sicats in their quest for justice.
Troy declares that truth and justice would always prevail. On the mayor’s signal, Ella shows up, flanked by her mother and attorney Dizon, much to Rica’s surprise. She introduces herself and reveals that she’s Archie’s girlfriend.
“And I’m the reason why Archie decided to leak that video,” Ella notes. “Archie only did that so he could get back at Jigs…it’s because I was rãpëd by Councilor Jigs Ramones four years ago.”
The people begin murmuring among themselves in disbelief and expressing their disgust. Ella goes on about how she wants justice for Archie’s death and everyone that had been done to her. Raven shows up to observe.
“Councilor Jigs Ramones is a rapist,” Ella declares. “He used his power and influence so I would keep quiet about it. All these years. Starting today, he will never be able to silence me again.”
Ella reveals that she’s already filed a râpê complaint against Jigs and hopes that the case would finally be brought to court so justice would be served to her, Rica and the other women Jigs had violated.
“Now there’s two of us,” Ella notes. “I hope you finally believe what we’re telling you. Because we refuse to be silenced again. And you can expect that we will never back down from this.”
While Raven looks on, appalled, Rica gets all emotional and goes to hug Ella. She then calls out to all the other women. “And if this battle needs several women to come together, just to bring one man to his knees, then that’s what we’re going to do. Because the moment we stand as one and cry for justice together, they will not be able to silence us anymore.”
As Olivia watches the press conference at her house, Mr. Merced discusses Troy’s situation with Alberto who’s confident that the pressure would compel Troy to come back to the fold. However, Mr. Merced shows him the press conference video at the city hall and Alberto fumes.
At home, Troy tells the Sicats that they had kept Ella a secret until now for safety sake.Dan asks whether Ella’s case would even reach court since the rãpë had happened years ago. Attorney Dizon reveals that Ella had had herself checked and kept the test results and evidence which proves that she had been violated.
Karla worries that Alberto might manipulate the case again. Outside, Ella has a talk with Rica and pours out her heart to her about their situation and Archie’s dëāth.Ella recounts how Archie had wanted to engage her with his mother’s ring.
She laments over how he could have still been alive if she had stopped him and Rica consoles her. Raven observes sadly from where she stands unnoticed. Attorney Dizon proposes that they use social media to spread the word and make the public aware of the issue. Bea comes over and being the expert, she recommends a way to reach more people.
Troy, Laura, Karla and Dan are amazed. Anyway, Alberto is throwing a fit in his mansion. He laments over how Troy had turned his back on him and berates Bobby for failing to be the ideal son. He calls Bobby a disappointment. Meanwhile, Troy leans on his car and reflects on his last encounter with his father.
Alberto taunts Troy with how he had become his puppet and did everything he had told him to – covering up the facts that he accepted bribes and gambling protection money, as well as the extortion of money from Sidero Arts High which had led to the collapse of the building and Philip’s death.
Alberto vows to make him lose his position and end his political career. Troy points out how they had enabled Jigs in his criminal ways by protecting him and his reputation from the law though they knew there was something wrong with him. He then condemns his father for going to the extent of k!lling someone to protect his grandson.
Alberto is upset that his dear son is ready to throw away everything away for Karla and his illegitimate child.
“I knew she would screw with your mind,” Alberto grumbles. “I should have done something…”
“You did do something,”! Troy barks. “You cut her out of my life, and I let you do it. Every single day, I regret not fighting for her. Every single day! That’s what I feel!!!”
