As soon as Anton (Jameson Blake) goes out of sight, Mel (Sue Ramirez) retrieves a photo frame hiding her cards, grabs her MABEL friendship necklace, and caps off her getaway with a fake 911 call about an overdosed patient, buying herself enough time.
Soon after Mel’s sharp-witted disappearance, Anton goes up to her office and notices a small note from Mel indicating that he can’t ever control the whole of her.
Provoked yet trying to contain his emotions, he wastes no time confronting Tim (Dingdong Bahan) and Tom (Patrick Ramirez), speculating that Mel would have visited them for the schedules he had barred her from. Turning confused and slowly brimming with worry, Tom assumes that Mel might have been taken by the escaped convict, Edong (Jake Cuenca).
Not finding any sign of Mel at Alice’s (Janella Salvador) home, he rushes to Amurao High, where Beth (Charlie Dizon) is. His arrival stirs doubts in Beth, as he unknowingly lets some of his anger show, going white-knuckled as he grips Beth’s forearm just as she reaches for her phone—making sure she isn’t an accomplice to Mel’s getaway.
