Can’t Buy Me Love Episode 23

Bingo Tales Caroline Out. Irene Strives To Deal With Her Situation. Bettina Returns Home. Cindy Becomes Wary of Bingo.

Irene has a hard time wrapping spring rolls in the kitchen. She laments and when the manager offers to tell Aunt Cathy, she replies in the negative, saying that she can handle it. Soon enough, she’ll be the best wrapping machine around. Or so she says.

In the meantime, Cindy visits Bettina at the precinct to check up on her. She asks how she’s doing and Bettina who’s eager to be out of the place, laments over how Edward is ruining her life even in death.

At the Tiu mansion, Bingo is grilled by the lawyers in preparation for whatever questions the prosecution will throw at him. Jaime is restrained to a chair and blindfolded somewhere. Carlo stares at him silently.

Charleston stalks in and with a voice changer device, he asks Jaime for a favor in exchange for his freedom – to take the blame for Edward’s death. Jaime acts out and demands to be set free and Charleston leaves him at his brother’s mercy.

At the warehouse, the workers find a pair of shoes they like and they decide to play rock paper scissors for it. The winner can buy it at a good discount. Kida joins them and wins the shoes just as Caroline comes upon the scene, not the least bit thrilled.

She confronts Kida for overstepping her boundaries with her team and department and the girl taunts her and dares her to report her to HR.
Ling is surprised when Bingo later shows up at the warehouse.

When she tells him that she’s stressed and frustrated, he decides to take her someplace to blow off steam – a carnival. Cindy has the shock of her life when she goes through Bingo’s birth certificate and realizes his connection to Annie.

During a meeting with the lawyers, Cindy begins putting Bingo’s credibility into question. Wilson however remains confident that Bingo will be able to help their daughter with his statement. Gina suspects something is going on and later learns of why Cindy is behaving that way.

Bingo challenges Ling to go on the carnival ride with him and she eventually gives in. Having returned home, Carlo discovers the crumpled piece of paper in the trashcan and he picks it up and sends a photo of it to Charleston, claiming that someone sent it to him.

Charleston in turns shows it to his father and they begin to suspect that it’s the Liaos who have been trying to bury the evidence and keep Bettina in prison. Thanks to the discovery of the toxicology report, the lawyers file for a case dismissal and Bettina is released immediately.

Bingo arrives at the mansion as Wilson had invited him to join his family in celebrating Bettina’s freedom. On his way out, Ling offers him an envelope of money as compensation for all his troubles. Cindy looks on as Bingo turns down the money.

A flashback reveals that it was Cindy who had paid off Annie before her disappearance. While Cathy prays in her secret room at home, Dara and her friends go to the restaurant to eat and Irene is ordered to go and attend to them.

Dara gets pretty upset when she fails to recognize her after insulting her before. She and her friends order her around and Irene indulges them. Eventually, she offers to treat them to something special. Bingo has Caroline take him to another carnival and they enjoy some rides together.

In the end, he takes her to a food joint and orders the hottest street food – balut (steamed egg eaten directly from the shell). Bingo enjoys his and urges Ling to try hers. Back at the restaurant, Irene mercilessly mixes different kinds of things into the food of those “4 little witches”.

As if that’s not enough, she spits and stirs it to enrich it some more. Meanwhile, Ling painstakingly puts the street food into her mouth as Bingo continues cheering her on.
