Roman Keeps Victoria Locked Up & Confronts Her About Her Secret With Rigor. Gabriel Sneaks Into The Mansion To Rescue His Mother: An Altercation Ensues Between Him, Victoria & Roman.
Gabriel has a talk with Bianca about how Roman has been treating his family terribly and he plans to step up and stop him before things get worse. Bianca cautions him that he might get himself into trouble if he doesn’t tread carefully. Carlos arrives home and is shocked to find his mother locked up in the room. When he tries to get her out, Roman shows up and charges him not to even dare go through with it.
Carlos protests the absurdity of it all and Roman declares that it’s his house so his rules must prevail. Anyway, Gabriel continues to whine to Bianca about the mess his parents had dragged him into and his intention to make things right and protect her. Bianca merely urges him not to do anything that might get him into trouble.
Rigor talks to his mother about how Roman has been making life difficult for them and he blames Maila for the major part she had played to expose his dirty secret with Victoria. However, Lydia points out that he and Victoria are the ones who are actually at fault. Later, Rigor goes to the hospital to see Victoria and he’s taken by surprise to learn that she had already been discharged.
Carlos tells Bianca of his mother’s situation at home, just as Rigor returns home to blow a fuse because Victoria had gone back to her husband. Gabriel strives to reason with him to stop causing them further problems and the scoundrel gets even more upset and hits him. Nevertheless, Gabriel stands up to his sorry excuse of a father and gives him a piece of his mind.
Lydia arrives home just then to stop her wretched son as he tries to go after Gabriel again. It doesn’t take long for Rigor to send Victoria a text message to threaten her with the secret they both share for abandoning him. As fate will have it, Roman happens to be in the possession of his wife’s cellphone and he figures that there’s another secret Victoria has been keeping from him.
Pretending to be Vicky, he replies to Rigor’s text and tries to fish for details. However, Rigor eventually notices that the person on the other line isn’t really Victoria. Bianca opens her big mouth to tell Gabriel about how Roman has been keeping his supposed mother locked up in the house. Gabriel gets pretty upset and plans to rescue her.
In the meantime, Derek manages to talk his cousin into giving him Gabriel’s contact so he could go and make him an offer. Carlos compels the house staff to let him see his mother and bring her some food. Because of the great deal Roman has put him through, he makes a solemn vow to ensure that Gabriel doesn’t get anything or take anything away from him.
Victoria is surprised to learn of how Rigor had confronted Carlos with the truth of his real identity. Later, while Gabriel makes plans of sneaking into the Dela Vega mansion after work tomorrow to save his “mother”, Roman confronts Victoria with Rigor’s message and demands to know what else they’re keeping from him.
Vicky swears that she knows nothing and as Roman gets pretty loud and physical with her, Carlos strives to intervene. Roman warns dear wife that if he ever finds out she’s been lying to him, then there will be hell to pay.
Sandra packs up her stuff and once Isabel returns home, she tells her of how she needs to go back to Singapore to take care of her husband who has fallen ill. Isabel treats her mother with indifference even as she promises to return as soon as possible. Ironic enough, Gabriel goes to the Dela Vega mansion to see his “mother” and when he’s refused entry, he foolishly decides to sneak into the house.
The CCTV camera catches him live and Roman surprisingly watches the scene on his laptop in his office. Man doesn’t look happy. Bianca happens to see Carlos venting out his anger and frustrations on Simeon and she resolves to have him go on a break with her to calm his nerves. Simeon gets stuck with Marilyn who excitedly tries to chat him up.
Gabriel manages to get past security and right into Victoria’s makeshift prison cell. He offers a shocked Vicky some food he had brought along and urges her to come with him so they could escape. However, mother of the century strongly refuses to leave with him, stating that she løvês her husband a lot and won’t leave him no matter what.
As fate will have it, Roman walks into the room to greet Gabriel with a punch to the stomach for trespassing. He berates him and slaps Victoria when she tries to intervene. Gabriel gets all defensive and vows to fight him if he hurts his “mother” again. In response, Roman lashes out at him some more and pulls out a güñ on him. The episode concludes as Gabriel protectively stands in front of Victoria.
