Carlos Resumes His Diabolic Schemes. Roman Sends Goons To Beat Some Sense Into Rigor. Victoria Fools Gabriel. Rigor Threatens Bianca. Carlos Faces Off With Rigor On Victoria’s Account.
The episode begins with Rigor the scoundrel handing Victoria the money he had cowardly stolen from Gabriel. Vicky reluctantly accepts it and thanks him, saying that she will pay him back. However, Rigor points out that he doesn’t want money in return but her very own self.
Victoria makes it crystal clear that she can never løvë him because she løvës her family and with that, she chases him off by closing the door right in his face. Meanwhile, Bianca has a talk with her family about the situation at TigerShark and Roman’s decision.
She plans to look for another job if Roman decides to fire her as well in order to make ends meet, pay back their loan and ensure that Jay Jay doesn’t drop out of school. Grandpa Ben promises to lend her a helping hand. Rigor confides in one of his equally miserable buddies about how Victoria has been treating him badly.
While Rigor comes to learn of how Maila and her father have been going around asking questions about him, Bianca goes to see Victoria at the hotel and strives to convince her to start treating Gabriel right since he’s been through so much and isn’t to blame for her current situation.
As Gabriel rejoins his triathlete team and is met with a warm, enthused reception, Carlos proves to be much more despicable than we ever thought possible by proposing to his father that they play the sympathy card with Bianca as their sole endorser: they would make it look like Gabriel left or cheated on her in order to garner the sympathy of the people and retain their market.
Even the witch Isabel of all people is appalled and finds the idea quite preposterous and downright cowardly stüpïd. Nevertheless, Roman gives his miserable son the green light to proceed with his outrageous campaign. Victoria decides to make an attempt to reconnect with her supposed son in order to protect her dirty secret.
Rigor worries about the questions Gabriel is bound to ask and Vicky states that she would tell him what he wants to hear so he doesn’t start suspecting her too. In no time, Bianca brings Gabriel to see the sorry excuse of a mother who apologizes for how she had treated him before.
Victoria puts on a show of motherly concern and asks for some time to get to know him and Gabriel falls for it hook, line and sinker. Such a hopeless case. Anyway, Roman seethes over the thought of wanting to see his wife suffer and Rigor dead.
Mr. Reyes his buddy urges him not to do anything illegal that he might regret in the end but Mr. Dela Vega couldn’t care less. Gabriel drops off Bianca at home and thanks her for making it possible for him to “reunite” with his “mother”.
Rigor the scoundrel shows up to confront Bianca as soon as Gabriel leaves, demanding to know what her family wants to know about him. Jay Jay comes upon the scene as the scoundrel threatens his sister and he stands up to him.
Still, Rigor warns them to stop asking questions before walking his miserable self away. Gabriel returns home and excitedly updates his friends and loved ones about his supposed reunion with his supposed mother. He then proceeds to share the so-called good news with his grandma.
Jay Jay has an exchange of opinions with Bianca about whether or not to tell their mother and grandpa about the incident earlier. Maila and Ben soon arrive home after a fruitless search for Rigor’s box and when Ben proposes that they personally confront the scoundrel, Bianca argues against it.
In the meantime, Roman orders a lackey of his to find Rigor and give him a good scare to compel him to stay away from his wife. Carlos overhears this and wastes no time to call his mother to warn her to be careful. And so it goes. Two guys gang up on Rigor and beat him up in the streets.
They then threaten to finish him off next time if he doesn’t stop seeing Victoria. A moment later, Rigor shows up with his bruised up face at Victoria’s unit to greet her with the gift her husband had delivered to him.
While Carlos makes another pathetic attempt to convince his father to take his mother back, Gabriel resumes training with his teammates. Isabel tells her cousin of Gabriel’s termination from TigerShark and Derek considers hiring him to join his team.
Gabriel finally discovers all his savings missing and when he questions Rigor, the scoundrel whines about how his “mother” needed the money to pay for her hotel room. Gabriel is exasperated and laments over how he also needs the money since TigerShark fired him.
Rigor snubs him and packs up some food to go and deliver to Victoria who’s apparently sick with something. Grandma Lydia strives to calm down her grandson and urge him to let the matter go.
Later, as Gabriel hangs out with his teammates and buddies after a training session, Bianca shows up bearing food for everyone and the guys excitedly receive her. Jay Jay has a talk with Steph about how Rigor had threatened his sister and she urges him to let his family know about it before something bad happens.
Rigor comes to see Victoria to give her the food he had brought and when she doesn’t open up or respond to his calls, he prompts the caretaker to have the door open.
Once inside, they find Vicky passed out on the floor and Rigor desperately strives to revive her while the caretaker goes to call an ambulance. Carlos suddenly shows up to throw a ridiculous tantrum fit for the brat of the century before kicking Rigor out of the room.
