“I told you she was joking. What are you talking about? It’s not what Cassie said. It was the look on your face when you talked about her. It’s like you’re turning into a different person, and it’s really scaring me.”
Raven is brooding by herself when her father comes over to inform her of his decision to take Rica to the city hall tomorrow since she had finally given him a chance to be a father to her. Leave it to Audrey to make an issue out of it.
Still, Troy endures her ranting and strives to make Raven see reason. Raven gives the green light and when Audrey throws a fit, Troy reminds her that she was the one who had initially insisted that they let Rica become part of their lives.
Troy asks his insufferable wife whether it was another one of her lies. He makes a futile attempt to convince her to support him. Raven then tells her father to do whatever he thinks is best.
Meanwhile, Olivia laments over the horrible things Jigs and his friends have been doing to unsuspecting women and hopes to offer some help. Karla gladly hugs her in appreciation and Rica thanks her for not letting her go through the tough battle alone.
The next morning, mayor Troy brings Rica to the city hall and proudly introduces her to everyone he comes across. Attorney Dizon briefs Olivia about the case, in the company of Karla.
Olivia worries about what Jigs’ camp could do once they find out about her plan to file a complaint against Jigs. Laura gives her assurance of how things would go in their favor and promises to keep her identity a secret from the public.
“Thank you so much,” Karla says to Olivia. “Because of you, my daughter won’t be alone in this fight.”
Troy introduces Rica to the vice mayor and commends her architectural skills. He makes note of a particular project she had worked on and Rica says it had been a team effort. The vice mayor then states that Rica is as humble as Troy. Once he leaves, Jigs and Bobby show up and a confrontation ensues.
A wãr of words ensue between the brothers, and when Jigs tries to provoke her, she puts him in his place before walking away. Troy gives rotten father and son a once-over before carrying on. Axel brings Chino to an apartment he plans on buying and he asks if Kyle knows of his plan to move out of his house.
Axel remains silent so Chino concludes that it’s got something to do with Rica. Axel admits to it and brings up how Rica had agreed to talk to him about madam CC’s revelation. Chino asks if he thinks he’s got a shot and Axel starts yapping about the supposed connection he has with Rica.
Bobby confronts his son about the potential problem they might have since he suspects that the Sicats are planning something. Indifferent, Jigs tells dear daddy to take care of it because he’s busy fixing his mess which had resulted in Raven ignoring him. He demands that Bobby stay away from his aunt Audrey.
At Balai Arkitektura, Rica talks to Rose about the tour mayor Troy had given her of the city hall. Kyle observes the girls for a moment before he heads into his office. Rose then asks Rica if she has any idea why their boss’ vibe seems to be off. Rica silently glances at Kyle and they make eye contact for a while.
At the furniture workshop at home, Raylin shows Dan a video of the mayor and Rica together and begins badmouthing her for betraying him. Dan reveals that he already knew about it and had consented to it.
“You allowed it?” Raylin says in disbelief.
“That’s what my daughter needs,” Dan states. “Whatever she needs, I will provide it.”
“But Dan, if he’s starting to become present in Rica’s life, the next thing you know, he might be targeting your wife too.”
A couple of Dan’s boys agree with Raylin. Their opinions seems to get to Dan as he recalls some encounters between his wife and the mayor. In school, Bea treats Pogs with indifference on account of the incident that had occurred yesterday.
Pogs is hurt that she hadn’t even worried about him. As Bea lashes out at him, Brax shows up. One thing leads to another and things get real awkward real soon when Bea exposes the fact that Pogs is the one Brax actually likes.
Raven hands Trixie her secretary the exhibited glass of alcohol in her office to get rid of. She apologizes to her for the way she had treated her in the past on account of all her troubles. Trixie merely says that she’s glad she’s finally back. Once she leaves, Raven’s cellphone begins ringing and she ignores the calls from Jigs.
Out of nowhere comes Jigs in person to confront her about how she’s been avoiding him. Jigs promises to make his dad stay away from her mom and when he asks if Raven would also stay away from him, she says she just needs some space because things are complicated.
Raven recalls Cassandra’s bad testimony of Jigs and as if on cue or reading her mind, Jigs asks whether that’s the reason why she’s been treating him like that. Raven gives dear cousin a look.
“I told you she was joking.”
“What else did she say?” Jigs hisses.
Raven seems confused. “What are you talking about?”
Jigs grabs her and yells, “What else did she tell you?!”
Raven is shocked now. “Nothing,” she says, breaking dear cousin’s hold on her.
“I..I’m sorry,” Jigs stammers.
“It’s not what Cassie said. It was the look on your face when you talked about her. It’s like you’re turning into a different person, and it’s really scaring me.”
Brax confirms Bea’s claims and admits the truth to Pogs. He laments over how he’s been struggling to deal with his feelings because his family would reject him once they find out. Bea lashes out at him, upset that he had just used her to get to Pogs when he knew about her feelings for him.
And for that, she threatens to expose his secret on her vlog so everyone would find out. Pogs is appalled. Archie and Ella get their stuff ready to leave Sidero in two days. They look forward to live their lives peacefully somewhere else.
While attorney Dizon and mayor Troy are hopeful that the other girls would finally come out to file cases against Jigs once Olivia files her complaint, one of said girls confronts Liam and tries to extort money from him. Liam grudgingly gives into her demands and learns of how she had found out about the video evidence.
Jigs receives a phone call from Liam, telling him about what he had just discovered. In school, Pogs confronts Bea over the harsh things she had said to Brax just because he doesn’t like her. He reminds Bea of what had happened to her sister, appalled that she would even think of ousting someone online.
Bea wails, saying that she hadn’t meant what she had said but Pogs walks out on her all the same. Axel tells Kyle of his appointment with Rica and remarks that they would finally find out if she chooses either one of them so they can finally move past the situation.
Jigs is worried about the evidence Rica’s camp has acquired against him. Alberto realizes that Archie was the one who had given all those files to Troy, so he compels Jigs to give him all the names of the women he had victimized.
In the meantime, Axel meets up with Rica at their spot on the bridge and professes his feelings for her, just as Kyle sadly hangs around the rooftop, reflecting on his last conversations with Axel and Karla.
Meanwhile, Axel goes on to express his feelings for Rica. When he steps closer and tries to make physical contact, Rica steps back, surprising Axel who recalls the countless times she had let Kyle touch her.
“You feel the same way too, right?” Axel asks with a sigh.
Rica just stares silently.
