“Go ahead! Say my real name! Sandrino! I already k!lled you. I k!lled Mateo too! I have destroyed your beloved family. Your daughter Malia. She can no longer k!ll me. I am just going to k!ll you like I did before!”
Jacinta dances with Gilbert (Supremo), simultaneously asking about his løvë life. She mentions that he needs a woman in his life since everyone løvës to hear a good løvë story. Gilbert asks if that woman can be her and Jacinta replies in the negative. Gilbert then turns the tables ad begins questioning her about her løvë life too. Jacinta admits that she had løvëd before – a forbidden løvë that had hurt her profoundly. Gilbert asks who that person was.
Samantha asks Tristan if he had seen something and he mentions the voice he had heard telling him that they would be together soon. Back at the rendezvous place, Jacinta refuses to talk about the subject anymore. She asks Gilbert if he has ever løvëd before and he states that he’s never felt his heart beat in his life for anyone.
“Maybe you’ve never felt it,” Jacinta begins. “Because you don’t have one at all. Only heartless people have no capacity to løvë, don’t you think?”
Gilbert looks on silently, somewhat disturbed. “But who knows, maybe the woman who’ll finally make your heart beat is coming.”
Samantha talks to Prof T on phone and demands that he come over to the Mallari residence at once. Prof T is reluctant, saying that he’s in the middle of something. However, Samantha insists that he join the mission so they can protect Tristan.
Inside, Jake talks to Tristan about Samantha and manages to cover up the fact that he knew about her beforehand. Meanwhile, Supremo talks to Senator Paglinaun on phone about Jacinta after parting ways with her. “Before she plays you for a fool, I suggest you k!ll Lia now,” Paglinauan states. “And if she’s not Lia, why don’t you just turn her into a vampire instead?”
Supremo sneaks into Jacinta’s room and towers over her while she sleeps, fangs bared. He makes an attempt to go in for her neck but halts for some reason. He then glides out of her room and a second later, Jacinta’s eyes jerk open. The next morning at the LLU, Malia’s powers is put to the test.
She goes against Vergel in his wolf form and manages to evade his ättaçks. Vergel bites her but she’s able to heal from the wound in no time. Veruska deduces that a werewolf bite doesn’t affect her vampire blood. On Baristo’s signal, Gael goes at Malia. She tries outrunning him but fails miserably and takes a blow to her belly.
Again, Veruska deduces that Malia doesn’t have the speed of a vampire. In an attempt to find out if her werewolf lineage is stronger, Baristo gives the go-ahead and Gael bites Malia’s shoulder. Like before, the wound heals as Gael mentions that there’s nothing different in her blood. Baristo then declares that training is done for the day.
“The only power you’ve manifested so far is your ability to heal,” Veruska says to Malia.
“And you aren’t affected by the bite of a vampire or werewolf,” Lemuel adds.
“We can conclude that you have equal parts vampire and werewolf blood,” Baristo concludes. “All we can do is give it some time. I’m sure your true power will manifest.”
While Gilbert hangs out with Jacinta somewhere, Omar the traitor shows up at the Mallari house asking of Tristan, going with the pretense that he’s a friend of Miyo. The traitorous scumbag claims he has vital information about him and Tristan soaks up his bullshit.
As Gilbert ironically sings to Jacinta at their rendezvous place, Omar outsmarts Tristan ad captures him with a little assistance from his vampire buddies. Jake comes out a moment too late and isn’t able to stop the traitorous Omar. He then calls Malia to inform her of the situation.
Jacinta commends Gilbert’s performance and asks what the song was about. Gilbert throws the question back at her, saying that the song is a lullaby from the South. Jacinta indulges him, glad that he’s beginning to listen to her. A phone call comes in from Omar who tells Supremo that they’ve captured Tristan.
Gilbert subtly orders him to keep him until his return. Once off the phone, he tries to make Jacinta believe that it’s about his business. Tristan struggles as the vampires carry him out of the car, into a building and up a flight of stairs. Out of nowhere, Malia stands in Omar’s path and proceeds to battle him and his vampire buddies.
Upon breaking free of his restraints, Tristan joins the fight and together, they hold off the undead scum until Jake pulls over nearby and they’re able to make a quick getaway. During the drive, Tristan asks of Mrs. Mallari and Jake mentions that he was the actual target of the vampires since no one had stormed into the house.
Prof T approaches Samantha at the Moonchasers HQ. “You knew I was doing something important.”
“I ordered you to protect him!” Samantha fumes. “Now look at what happened!”
“The Guardian never makes mistakes. You were told Tristan is going to die, and he’s going to become a vampire. You don’t hold other people’s fate in your hand, Samantha…my daughter…I relentlessly studied her blood to give her a shot at the new life, but what happened? She was k!lled by a vampire. Was I able to stop it? Go figure.”
“I am not going to let go of Tristan. He has a very significant role in the prophecy. And there is a reason why he has become the constant companion of the new Chosen One. If Tristan were to become a vampire, I am not going to allow him to become our enemy. That could happen, if Supremo manages to take him on his side.”Read Next Episode On The Blood Moon Episode 39
