He father suspects that it’s an act of revenger against Cardo. Brenda jokes that Glen’s potential boyfriend shouldn’t have a lot of enemies. Glen responds that her sister is interfering with her love life.

Junior and Joaquin visit Lola Flora at the hospital. Joaquin has brought a gift for her and tells it’s from his parents. Lola tells the two she can already go home by the afternoon. Junior comments that Carmen will take care of Lola Flora if she was around. Joaquin asks Lola if her residence is safe. Lola replies it’s safe.

Jun and Jo visit Lola at the hospital. Jo brought parents from his parents. Lola tells ipapauw. Junior say if

Banjo and his gang are playing cards when Lorenz comes in. Banjo asks where Lorenz has been. Lorenz displays on the table the jewelry he looted and tells them he was outside following a woman. Charlie questions if he went solo. Banjo reminds Lorenz that he is Charlie’s pair and quips that Charlie might learn from him. Lorenz’s cellphone rings and puts the phone on the table

.

Cardo sees Joaquin along the hospital’s corridors. Joaquin asks if he already knows about Lorenz. He offers to help Cardo because his family is also like “Family”. Cardo asks if he knows that Lorenz was responsible Lola’s hospitalization. Joaquin promises he will help Cardo, as long as he will tell him everything he knows about Lorenz. Junior sees Cardo and rushes to embrace him. Cardo advises his nephew to be safe. After their conversation, Joaquin excuses themselves to go home.

Glen calls Cardo to ask about Lola Flora. She advises him not to think too much about the case. But for Cardo, the case is personal. Once their conversation has ended, Cardo turns around to see Lolo Delfin. Delfin says her knows how he thinks. He promises to assign policemen to protect their family.

Carmen uses the blade to cut the ropes binding her hands. Tomas visits her. She is unable to hide her animosity towards him and tells him she knows his filth and threatens that Joaquin will capture him. Tomas, however, views his trade differently. He tells her he gives these children a new lease in life. Carmen doesn’t buy his bullshit. She demands if Joaquin knows about this. Tomas tells her that Joaquin knows their family business yet he has no idea that he kidnapped her.

Tomas asks his daughter –in-law if she is willing to overlook their family business and keep it a secret as a testament of her love for his son. Carmen violently screams that she never loved Joaquin. Tomas moves closer but pulls away when Carmen stab’s him with the blade. Crazed, Carmen yells why he’s not doing anything to kill her. Tomas’ men restrain her as she wails that Tomas will eventually be caught.

Lola and Yolly rejoice that her results reveal she has no injury. Cardo and Delfin visit her. Lola Flora tells them the result and wants to go home. She asks Delfin if they have a lead. She’s worried that those men might return to harm them. Cardo promises that he and Lolo Delfin won’t allow the incident to happen again.

Tomas is inside his office with his wife. His wound has already been bandaged. Verna asks how Carmen is doing. He bluntly tells her she refused to keep silent about their family secret. It’s now between Carmen and their family’s security. Verna plays her strong card that Joaquin won’t agree with him. She pleads to do something and give Carmen a chance. Instead, he hands her Carmen’s cellphone and explains it contains the reason why he needs to dispatch their daughter-in-law. Verna’s heart breaks when she sees a video where Carmen screams she never loved Joaquin.

Joaquin comes in and asks what happened to his father. He asks him if Lorenz wounded him.

Allen shows the gun he uses to kill some guy. Banjo exclaims he’s tired of snatching and wonders what it feels like to be a hired hitman. Allen asks if Lorenz killed a lot. Lorenz replies he did kill a lot of men. Charlie is pissed off and tells Lorenz what a brag he’s becoming. The tension between the two men escalate when Lorenz dumps the contents of Charlie’s bag, revealing several items belonging to Allen and Banjo. The men question how long Charlie has been stealing from them. 

Charlie angrily rebuts their questions and asks whom they should trust, him or a newcomer like Lorenz?

Tomas hands Joaquin Carmen’s cellphone. He identifies it and asks why the phone is with him. His father reveals that he has been the one texting him all along. Joaquin asks where Carmen really is. Tomas honestly tells him that she’s not in Bicol and that he had to do “it”. Joaquin asks where he brought her. Tomas, however, asks him to read her unsent text message to Cardo  and reminds his son of the promise to protect their family.

 Joaquin charges and grabs Tomas by his collars. He begs Tomas to spare Carmen’s life and promises he will do anything he wants. He pleads his father not to take away the woman he loves. Tomas understands Joaquin’s sentiments on how much he loves his wife, but he brutally tells him that Carmen never loved him. He instructs him to watch Carmen’s video clip.  Joaquin’s heart breaks as he watches the love of his life declare she never loved him. He drops the phone and cries as Verna consoles him. Tomas presents to Joaquin the facts: if he gives Carmen a chance to love, what will happen to their family, especially Rachel, when Carmen will definitely report the truth to the authorities.

Rigor invites Jerome for gym time. Jerome politely declines and asks Glen if he wants to go home with him. Glen declines because she’s checking over her files. Jerome asks if it’s still the case about riding in tandem. He suggests she investigate shops or people who make and sell fake plate numbers to track Banjo and his gang. Glen profusely thanks Jerome for his suggestion.

One of Banjo’s men asks Allen whether he believes that Charlie is indeed guilty. Banjo brings Lorenz and Charlie to a bar to settle their dispute.

Lola Flora finally arrives home. The family serve her dinner. Lola thanks everyone for their attentiveness. Onyok asks if the men in the motorcycles will return. Lola hopes not. Elmo tells everyone that he and Benny will join the patrol with the tanods. But Benny is hesitant because he wants to be punctual at his office. Cardo assures Lola Flora that Delfin will send police for protection. Yolly tells Lola they will overcome this challenge as they always do. Lola affirms Yolly’s statement.

Charlie throws an ultimatum: he will leave if Banjo trusts Lorenz more than him. Lorenz bluntly shares his experience with his previous employer: The men who leave are killed. The tension between them escalates. Banjo tells Charlie to drop the beer bottle’s he’s tightly gripping.

Cardo apologizes to Lola for being unable to protect her. Lola Flora understands that Cardo can’t be always there to protect her. Benny blames Elmo for not protecting Lola. Likewise, Elmo rebuts his accusation and they have a mini-argument. Lola Flora mentions that her phone is missing. Just then, Cardo’s phone rings and he’s surprised to see that Lola Flora’s phone is calling him!

Cardo excuses himself to answer the phone call. He asks the person on the other line if he knows Lorenz. Charlie tells Cardo that he needs something from him (like where he can find Lorenz). He asks Cardo how badly he wants to see Lorenz.

Cardo returns to the table and tells Lola Flora he needs to go outside. He instructs Benny to go with him.

Back at the bar, Banjo reminds them that their dispute will remain unsettled unless one of them confesses. Charlie is pissed off and the tension escalates for the third time.

Cardo and Benny arrive outside the bar Charlie tipped them. Benny is excited to find Lorenz. Cardo tells Benny that he’s destroying his “diskarte”.

Banjo follows Charlie outside the bar. He asks where he’s going. Charlie apologizes and says he has to leave their group.

Suddenly, Glen calls Cardo to tell him the plan Jerome proposed. Cardo tells her he’s doing important and immediately ends the call. Benny calls Cardo’s attention and points to the direction of Banjo and his men. Cardo makes eye contact with Lorenz who fires a shot at him. Cardo grabs his gun and exchanges gunshots with Banjo and his gang. Benny takes a gun and tries to help Cardo, unfortunately the group has escaped. Cardo takes the gun from Benny and tells him baliktad ang hawak niya sa baril.

Jerome interrogates every statement Benny makes. Benny tells him to questions Cardo instead. Glen asks if Cardo is alright. Jerome asks him what happened. Cardo replies that he got a tip that Lorenz and his men were at the bar. Jerome tells that Cardo that he should have had a dialogue with those men about it to avoid unnecessary death. Cardo looks displeased with Jerome’s statement.

Lorenz pours alcohol over his wound. Banjo affirms their suspicion that Charlie is indeed a traitor for tipping Cardo their whereabouts at the bar. It looks like Lorenz was right all along. He tells Lorenz that his fight is their fight as well.

Glen asks Cardo about Lorenz. He tells her one of Banjo’s men gave him the tip.

Back at Lola Flora’s house, Yolly asks Lola to rest and volunteer that they will wait for Cardo. When Cardo finally appears, Lola asks where he went to. Cardo lies and replies he had to take care of something.

Meanwhile, Lorenz and the other men are preparing their guns and molotovs.

Lola isn’t buying Cardo’s alibi. She already knows what Cardo is capable of and asks him if his “Something” involved the men who attacked her. Cardo confesses to her and narrates that some of the men died, while some lived. Onyok tells his tito Cardo to capture them.
