“Zandro senses Jasmin is part of something bigger, and even after the case is taken from him, he secretly keeps digging for the truth”.
Lavender rushed to Iris’s room, pretending she’d heard something outside and asking what happened. Iris brushed it off, still furious over the encounter. Lavender smirked quietly, watching Iris struggle to keep her composure.
Vittorio informed his men the party was cancelled, while Iris told Zandro about Jasmin showing up. When he asked how she was so sure, she snapped, “I just know, okay?”
Vittorio suggested taking her to the hospital, but she refused, insisting Jasmin was more injured since she beat her repeatedly.
Zandro then questioned Lavender, asking if she’d noticed anything strange and even showed her a photo of a woman, but Lavender denied knowing her. Iris could only hope Jasmin would finally be caught.
Lavender later returned to the spot where she had changed out of her disguise to retrieve her things. She accidentally dropped a glove, and just as she picked it up, Zandro and Eric arrived. Zandro asked what she was holding, freezing her on the spot.
After taking the glove, he scolded her for contaminating evidence, saying her fingerprints would now mix with Jasmin’s. She apologized, and Zandro shifted into questioning how long she’d known Iris.
He explained that Iris was never friendly with him and hoped Lavender could help him find Iris’s soft spot, so she’d finally cooperate. Lavender pointed out that Iris should naturally work with him since he’s helping her, leaving Zandro silent.
He then asked if she had anything useful to share. She said no but promised to call if she remembered anything. Before leaving, Ian mentioned that Zandro had been at TLGT earlier, asking questions without booking anything.
Later, Lavender asked Iris if she wanted her to stay by her side, but Iris declined, saying she believed Jasmin wouldn’t come near her again, “at least for now.”
Lavender warned her to be careful, only for Iris to shoot back that Jasmin was the one who needed to be careful because one day she’d catch her. Lavender examined her bruises at home as Aster worried she was close to getting caught.
Lavender insisted she wouldn’t let that happen. “Honestly, it felt good to beat that woman up,” she said proudly. Aster pointed out the bruises, reminding her Iris still managed to hurt her.
Later, Zandro received the glove test results. Because it was leather, they were able to lift usable prints, but there was only one set. The lack of multiple fingerprints stunned him.
The next morning, Lavender saw a wanted poster showing Jasmin Flores with another woman’s face. The reward was 15 million pesos. Elsewhere, Zandro tried digitally placing the woman’s head onto Lavender’s photo.
When the two aligned perfectly, he was speechless. Rod informed Zandro he’d be reassigned another case because Max’s case was gonna be closed, but Zandro argued the case was tied to Tyrone’s death.
He mentioned the lead he’d found, but Rod still refused, insisting he focus on the new case. Zandro had no choice but to agree. Even with the case closed, Zandro continued investigating.
Aster, seeing how Jasmin was being hunted, warned her to stay low because her world was getting smaller. Meanwhile, Vittorio paid Rod for getting Max’s case taken from Zandro, wanting all information about Jasmin to reach him first.
Zandro reviewed CCTV footage hoping for a clue but instead spotted a strange moment involving Lavender. He shook his head, smiling to himself. As he was leaving, Vittorio confronted him, surprised to see him there.
Zandro reminded him he had given him permission. “But this is not your case anymore,” Vittorio said. Zandro questioned how he even knew that, but Vittorio offered no answer and told him to leave.
Back at the Fields’ house, Aster found Lavender packing. Lavender explained she was leaving to avoid putting them in danger. Aster refused, saying she couldn’t lose her the way she lost her daughter. She reminded her that they were in this together, as Jasmin silently looked on.
