Cathy Delivers A Ruthless Dismissal To Irene, Snoop & Dara. Bingo & His Family Face A Difficult Situation.
Irene is pleasantly surprised when Aldrich shows up at the mansion with a bouquet of flowers for her. Aldrich notes that he’s serious about her and wants to meet her family. However, Irene says she wants to keep their relationship low-key for now because the timing isn’t right.
She’s surprised yet again when the guy doesn’t get upset. Caroline consults with her lawyer about the new discovery and she’s told that they need the real mûrdër weapon in order to reopen her mother’s case.
When Bettina confronts Sherwin about his meeting with Annie, he gets upset and tries to use reverse psychology on her to curtail her suspicions. Having acquired the address of Toni Alumahan (the retired officer), Ling texts Bingo, asking him to come with her to his place if he’s free later.
Bingo goes to greet his grandma and he’s devastated to find that she’s lost her eyesight. After the old woman is admitted at the hospital, Ling visits and gets quite emotional over her condition. Nene says she doesn’t need to worry because she’s okay.
At the warehouse, Irene picks on Dara and orders her around to arrange buckets of paints. Dara gets fed up and calls her out and she makes her trip. Irene gets even more irritated when Snoop comes to her defense.
After a brief exchange of words, Dara engages her in a cat fight. Eventually, Irene pours a bucket of paint on her and Snoop. Back at the hospital, Ling and Bingo take Grandma Nene to see the doctor and he has them step out so he can talk to her alone.
Ling offers to lend Bingo the one million they need for Nene’s eye operation but he’s reluctant to accept it. Monching eavesdrops as she tries to convince him.
Cathy reprimands Irene for mistreating Dara and getting into a fight with her. She fires her right on the spot, Snoop and Dara too, telling them to take their issues somewhere else.
Dr. Capistrano updates Bingo and the others about Grandma Nene’s condition. He mentions that he’s willing to do the surgery for free but the drawback is that she’s number 58 on the wait list; she’ll have to wait for her turn once they find a donor.
Bingo agrees to accept Ling’s offer once they find a donor for his grandma. In an interesting turn of events, Monching reaches out to Annie for help. Upon Irene’s return home, her mother criticizes her for failing, stating that she’s proved she’s not capable of running her own business.
Aldrich later calls Irene on the phone to check up on her. When Bingo and Ling bring Grandma Nene home, the former is taken by surprise to find a cheque among Monching’s stuff. He decides to go and return it and Monching follows him inside and tries to make him see reason.
Bingo understands him and asks him to return the cheque to his mother and let him handle the matter. They rejoin Nene and Ling at the table and a moment later, Ling leaves to head over to Toni’s place.
Meanwhile, Snoop visits Irene at home with some peace offering and she accepts. They exchange apologies and she’s all smiles as she heads back inside with the basket of fruits.
Ling’s attempt to meet up with the retired investigator is frustrated by Charleston’s meddling. Monching returns the cheque to Annie and thanks her for the gesture. After he leaves, Annie decides to find some other way to help.
Aldrich takes Irene on their first official date and gets all sweet with her. Silently, Irene hopes that she’ll be able to reciprocate his feelings because he’s the right one for her. Annie examines a little black box with a “WT” inscription. Read Next Episode on Can’t Buy Me Love Episode 50
