Isabel Orchestrates A Wicked Scheme To Get Rid of Bianca. Bianca Learns of The Devastating News. Gabriel Remains Loyal To Bianca. Carlos Beats Isabel At Her Own Game.
Gabriel is hailed by his family for his adventures in the triathlon and teased with his video with Bianca. Meanwhile, Marilyn excitedly shows the trending video of Bianca and Gabriel to Maila and Ben. When Bianca sees it, she gets worked up and laments over how embarrassing it is. Marilyn thinks it’s romantic though.
Back at the Villorias, the family strive to come up with a great and catchy name for Gabriel and Bianca’s tandem. At TigerShark, Isabel is shown the viral video and her subordinates blabber about how good Bianca and Gabriel look together. Isabel makes a face, a telltale sign that she has a dirty scheme in mind and plans to use the situation for her benefit.
Maila questions her daughter about her relationship with Gabriel and Bianca admits that he already professed his feelings for her. The downside is that she’s holding out on accepting his proposal because she wants to prioritize her family. Isabel shows the viral video to Roman and makes it her mission to promote Gabriel.
In the meantime, Gabriel assists grandpa Ben in tuning in a car. When the old man spots Bianca standing behind Gabriel, he begins lecturing him about how he can’t take any shortcuts in courting his granddaughter. Gabriel assures him that he can wait and it won’t be a problem. Bianca is all smiles.
Isabel continues to promote Gabriel to Roman, even proposing for him to replace him with Bianca who he’s already fired. She says Gabriel would be able to represent the brand well. Roman agrees and gives her the goahead to handle the talk with Gabriel as marketing head and a fellow triathlete. He then charges her to research about him. As the rain falls, Gabriel fixes a leak on the roof of the Agbayani house.
So Isabel begins to dig for information on Gabriel, all the while belittling Bianca and gloating over how she’s delighted to finally be rid of her. Bianca gladly receives her allowance at TigerShark and hopes that things get better from now on. Isabel rears her ugly head and comes over to ridicule her with how she needs to start saving up because she’s no longer the endorser of TigerShark.
Bianca is taken by surprise. Isabel proceeds to give Roman a file on the research she had done on Gabriel. After going through it, Roman tells her to find him and have him come over to the office so they can talk. Steph hangs out with Jay Jay and talks to him about her situation with her sister and mother.
Bianca goes to confront Carlos about how she had lied to her regarding her status at TigerShark. Carlos tries to explain and justify his actions but Bianca walks out on him all the same. The treacherous Isabel pays a visit to the Villorias to inform Gabriel about how Mr. Dela Vega her boss wants to have a very important conversation with him.
In no time, he’s brought to see the boss alongside his coach Ambet. With pleasantries out of the way, Roman makes his offer and Gabriel is delighted. However, his joy dies down once he realizes that he would be replacing Bianca as TigerShark’s new endorser. On this note, he declines Roman’s offer in spite of his efforts to convince him to think things through.
Carlos desperately orders Simeon to get him some research proving that Bianca is beneficial to TigerShark. In school, Jay Jay føølishly abandons his ongoing exams to call Steph on phone to check up on her.Since Steph has been grounded by her big sister, Jay Jay decides to pay her a visit at home to cheer her up.
While coach Ambet commends Gabriel’s goodwill, Bianca reaches out to Mr. Dela Vega to thank him for the opportunity he had given her. She then promises to pay back the money she owes him as soon as she gets another job.
Roman says he had terminated her because he has to do what’s best for his company. He wishes her good luck and Bianca leaves after shaking shaking hands with him. Isabel tries to convince Gabriel to accept Roman’s offer, all to no avail.
Bianca comes upon the scene and the dêspiçable woman taunts her with how she’s being replaced with Gabriel.Bianca is speechless for a moment and when she recovers, she merely congratulates Gabriel and runs off.
Gabriel goes after her and explains things, mostly how he had already turned down the offer because she’s much more important to him. Bianca says he doesn’t need to do that because his family also needs the money. She laments over how she wouldn’t be able to pay her little brother Jay Jay’s tuition fee from now and Gabriel consoles her.
Speaking of, the unwise little brother skips the rest of school to go and see Steph at her house. Maila receives a phone call from a teacher at Francisco Academy who informs her about how her son had failed most of his exams: he would not be able to move to the next level if he fails his finals as well.
Isabel taunts Carlos with Bianca’s termination and he in turn lashes out at her for stooping so low as to ruin someone’s life so he would come back to her. He then vows not to ever get back together with her. Bianca plans to start looking for another job as an accountant in order to pay Jay Jay’s tuition fee as well as the debts of her family.
Gabriel gives her moral support and urges her not to give up on her dream so easily. Bianca is however determined to get a job to support her family. A moment later, she returns home, only to be told about the phone call from Jay Jay’s homeroom teacher.
Jay Jay is having fun playing tic-tac-toe with Steph when Isabel returns home to make a scene, making it crystal clear to the delinquent that she wouldn’t allow anyone related to Bianca to be friends with her sister. After kicking him out, Isabel threatens to send Steph back to Singapore if she doesn’t follow all of her rules.
Maila scolds Jay Jay for wasting all the efforts and sacrifices of his sister by playing around with his studies. The little scoundrel begins to grumble and talk back, and Bianca sadly announces that she’s now jobless. Maila then comforts her. Gabriel returns home to inform his grandma about the situation involving Bianca and the offer he had received.
Marilyn talks to Bianca about the very same matter as well as her relationship with Gabriel, ultimately cheering her up with her antics. Rigor begins to cause trouble at home as he belittles his son for failing to get the gold prize because of the people he had helped.
Grandma Lydia begs to differ and let’s slip the offer TigerShark had made. Upon learning that Gabriel had turned it down because of Bianca, he begins to throw a fit and demanding that he take the damn offer already.
However, Gabriel bluntly declares that he would never betray Bianca. Carlos gets his hands on the research Simeon had done which happens to be the missing piece in Isabel’s report – it shows how relevant Bianca is to TigerShark and he’s certain that his father wouldn’t discard it.
After commending Simeon, Carlos proceeds to see his father and show him the report, blabbering nonstop about how TigerShark’s market would be greatly affected if they let Bianca go. Roman is exasperated, but even less so when Carlos suggests that they match up Bianca with his new endorser, not knowing that it’s none other than Gabriel.
Roman agrees to study the report, much to Carlos’ relief. A moment later, Mr. Dela Vega confronts Isabel about the incomplete report she had presented and the treacherous witch puts on an act. She claims that it was her team who had prepared the report and Roman demands that she better not make that mistake again. Roman then orders her to present a marketing strategy by tomorrow.
