While Erika (Gillian Vicencio) was quietly eating pasta all by herself in the dining room, she was spotted by Rockyboy (Baron Geisler), who delightfully approached her and quizzed her on why she didn’t join them during their meeting. However, the feeling is apparently not mutual for Erika, who showed disgust while talking to him.
Notwithstanding, Rockyboy continued to force herself on Erika, only to be rejected and pushed away by her. But he refused to listen to her and went on to touch her, which prompted her to shove him, and Santino (Ronwaldo Martin) to assault him upon catching him in the act. A heated argument then sparked between them, with Rockyboy hurling insults at and repeatedly provoking Santino, especially after Erika revealed that he is her boyfriend.
Just when Santino was able to contain his temper and restrain himself from beating him up, Rockyboy suddenly punched him in the face, which triggered him to fight back. An intense fisticuff ensued between them, which made Erika scream and caught the attention of the Mondragons and the Guerreros.
As soon as everyone arrived in the room and they were separated from each other, Rockyboy went to fabricate the narrative by insisting that it was Santino who initiated their altercation. Since the Mondragons were considered by the Guerreros as “very important people”, they easily believed Rockyboy’s claim—except for Don Gustavo (Dante Rivero), who asked the two parties about what really happened.
Santino asserted that he just saved Erika from being abused by him, but Rockyboy vehemently argued that it was false and that he was just trying to destroy the partnership of the Guerreros and the Mondragons.
Erika, of course, came into Santino’s defense by telling everyone that contrary to his claim that he was just chatting with her, Rockyboy actually touched her. Miguelito was truly appalled upon hearing this, so he confronted Rockyboy if he was hitting on his younger sister, which he strongly denied.
As the scorching spat among them was about to grow, Roberto extinguished it by asking Santino to apologize to Rockyboy. But Santino didn’t obey him, so it was just Brando (Roi Vinzon) who apologized on behalf of his beloved son, who continued to blurt out lies to make it appear that Erika was chasing him. As soon as the Mondragons left, Miguelito approached Santino to tell him that there was no doubt that he’s indeed Tanggol’s (Coco Martin) brother, while Jackie (Angel Aquino) expressed her exasperation at him for ruining what was supposed to be a great night for her.
In spite of her protest, Erika had no choice but to follow her parents' order for her to come upstairs, leaving Santino and Don Gustavo in the dining area.
