Back at the Montenegros, Anton (Jameson Blake) is on a call with General Diego Carreon about increasing security to protect Mel (Sue Ramirez), including patrol cars and bodyguards. The general bids Anton goodbye, making a point to mention Anton’s father, which reveals the Montenegros’ connection to the police force.
After the call, Anton assures Mel that she will be fully protected. When he puts his hand on her, she pulls away with a look of hatred. Unbothered, Anton asks her about Edong, but she refuses to speak on the matter. He touches her injured area again, causing her to whimper and slump in pain.
Once again wearing his pretentious mask, Anton feigns another apology, prompting Mel to question if he’s enjoying her pain. Indirectly responding, Anton instead expresses excitement about being cooped up together, just like during the pandemic.
Mel talks about her events and meetings, reasoning that she could have the bodyguards he hired accompany her instead of being alone with him.
