Beth’s (Charlie Dizon) mother-in-law, Cecilia, complains about her recent insinuation of Vivian’s debt inside the teacher’s office despite having similar issues with debt. When Beth explains tactfully that the debt was used to pay for her father-in-law’s cancer treatment, Cecilia chastises her for bringing it up.
To prevent things from getting heated, Ryan (Yves Flores) casually brings up Beth’s tendency to talk too much, and their daughter Chloe (Jewel Milag) joins in.
The quips and disputes stop when Beth’s mother, Marie (Jenny Miller), and her younger lover arrive at the house.
After warning her mother that her new partner might be exploiting her financially, Beth goes on to remind her of all the failed relationships she has had in the past. Among them are the boyfriend she brought to Beth’s school, the man she was a mistress of, and the abusive lover she had during the time of Beth’s scholarship offer from a Manila-based university.
Marie tells Beth that she’s fortunate to have Ryan as a husband, and Beth acknowledges this even though they experienced the hardships of early parenthood. Marie also remarks that Beth and Ryan’s marriage is happier than Mel’s, who is currently embroiled in a domestic abuse scandal with her husband Anton Montenegro (Jameson Blake).
