“I’ve always dreamt of this day. The day you, your sister and I can be a family. I know it will not be easy, but I think we can make it happen. I really hope so. I am also hoping that one of these says, you can call me ‘dad’.”
Rica stares at a photo of herself and Raven and gladly posts it on her social media account. Raven receives the notification and gets all emotional when she sees that she’s been tagged as an ally. The next morning, Karla decides to cook a lot of food out of sheer happiness.
As she as a talk with her husband at the table, Dan’s boys show up so early supposedly to guard the house but Karla sees right through them and invites them over to the table. Mayor Troy is delighted to see the instapost featuring his two daughters. He writes a comment, saying that he’s proud of them both.
Jigs and his father Bobby desperately pack up their things to flee Sidero. Night has fallen and dawn breaks into another morning. On this day, Alberto receives a phone call from his friend at the justice department. He’s told that Rica’s appeal would be granted today and anytime now, an arrest warrant for Jigs would be released.
Alberto gets all worked up and issues some threats to said buddy for failing him. A moment later, Jigs and Bobby get their things into the car and quickly hit the road. Bobby speeds ahead and Jigs gets alarmed upon seeing a news article of Rica’s appeal having been granted.
At Balai Arkitektura, Rica is having a banter with Kyle about what to have for lunch when she receives a phone call from attorney Dizon. She’s informed that the justice department has finally granted her appeal. Attorney Dizon reiterates the news to Kyle and he shares in the joy and relief of Rica.
Meanwhile, Bobby is still driving on the road when he’s cut off by a couple of patrol cars. When the officers compel him and his son to step out of the car, he begins rambling about who their family is. The chief officer disregards his tantrum and orders for Bobby and Jigs to be cuffed. After they’re read their rights, mayor Troy makes his appearance.
Troy gets in Jigs’ face and puts him in his place when he starts making a fuss. He then turns to Bobby who’s throwing a fit, asking why he’s being cuffed. “You are under arrest for obstruction of justice,” Troy taunts. “For aiding and abetting among other things.”
Bobby gets pretty loud with some nasty words and Troy rewards him with a punch to the face, a token for his daughter and wife. He then orders for a misërãble father and son to be taken away.
In no time, they’re practically dragged to the precinct where they’re welcomed by the media. Jigs is processed and as he’s being taken into custody, Rica shows up. Jigs tries to provoke her and he taunts her with how she would never be able to forget him.
Kyle reacts by dashing forward and punching him squarely in the face before the officers hold him off. Rica then gets in Jigs’ face and tells him that she can still stand up and move forward. No matter how difficult it gets, she would choose to live a long, happy life while he would be misërãble and rot in jail.
Jigs throws a fit as Kyle takes Rica away. Rica checks out Kyle’s swollen hand, saying that he should have given her the chance to puñch Jigs herself. Kyle says it’s nothing compared to how he had gotten stãbbėd before.
These things had never happened to him until he met her. Rica apologizes and offers to make it up to her. She ki$$es Kyle’s hand and he says that staying by his side would be enough. Rica couldn’t agree more.
After Bobby posts bail, he tries to bribe the chief to give his son preferential treatment. When that doesn’t work, he resorts to threats using his family name but that also proves futile. Man, is Jigs scared to spend the night in jail.
The chief reports back to the mayor and assures him that he won’t be manipulated by Bobby and his family to favor Jigs. Speaking of, the Sicats watch a news report of Jigs’ imprisonment and emotionally, Karla hopes that it’s the beginning of justice for her daughter.
Raven also watches the news sadly at home with her mother. At the Ramones mansion, Alberto berates Bobby for screwing up the chance to escape. Bobby argues that they had been taken by surprise.
An exchange of words ensues and Alberto blames Bobby for not raising his son properly. Bobby also blames his father for bringing in Troy and raising him to betray them. Alberto pûnçhes him and he in turn gets in his face and tells him that it’s his fault for bringing a traitor into their family.
The next morning at the Sicats, Karla hangs out with her eldest daughter at the porch, basking in the warmth of the sun. Soon enough, mother and daughter begin dancing happily. Bea strives to choose an outfit for the day as she recalls her brother’s warning about how Pogs might get tired of her rejections.
On her way out of the house, Karla has a heart-to-heart with her about the recent issues. Bea recalls the terrible things she had said to her mother before. She’s about to say something when attorney Dizon shows up with Rica and Ella. Bea then leaves for school. In no time, mayor Troy joins them to discuss the case.
Ella’s case is still undecided by the prosecutor and Troy assures her that they would push for it to be heard in court. Ella is hopeful of that on account of Rica’s granted appeal. After Laura talks to someone on phone, she gladly announces that the prosecutor has finally approved Ella’s complaint. Ella, Rica and co get all happy and excited.
Meanwhile, Bea arrives in school to find Stella and the other girls cheering excitedly for Pogs during a basketball game. After the game, Stella is all over Pogs and the other girls ask Bea if it’s okay for her to like him since she had already said that she didn’t. Bea is dumbfounded.
Later, while they’re all seated, Bea deliberately sits between Pogs and Stella and frustrates Stella’s efforts to hand-feed him. Brax finds it all amusing. Bobby throws a fit at home and vows to make the prosecutor pay. At the Sicats, Rica agrees to a dinner date with Troy and Raven.
“I’ve always dreamt of this day,” Troy notes. “The day you, your sister and I can be a family. I know it will not be easy, but I think we can make it happen. I really hope so.”
“I hope so too,” Rica says with a smile.
“I am also hoping that one of these says, you can call me ‘dad’.”
Karla takes a glance at her husband. Man doesn’t look as angry as he always does. Later, Karla has a talk with Rica who’s eager to get to know Raven. She gives her approval and when asked about the issue with Kyle, Rica mentions that he’s still conducting his investigation.
She believes that the mayor is a good person despite the mistakes he had made in the past and she also hopes that Kyle would soon come to see that.Kyle gets snubbed and run off by Mrs. Laurena when he makes another attempt to get some info from her about the missing contractor.
A random guy spies. Recalling all the unfriendly encounters and berating of his father, Bobby fishes out his güñ and looks ready to do damage. Troy runs into Laura in town and she snubs him when he tries to talk to her.
Kyle is approached by the guy on his way out of the Laurena neighborhood. The man hands him a handwritten note supposedly from Joseph Laurena. He claims to have been in a secret relationship with him before he disappeared. Apparently, Joseph had told him to give the letter to the police if ever something happened to him. The guy hadn’t been able to do that because he was scared.
“You’re looking for answers, right?” the man asks.
Kyle nods.
The man beckons to the letter supposedly from Joseph Laurena. “Here’s your answer.”
Kyle stares at the note and looks up as the episode concludes.
