As a regular, Erica (Kaila Estrada) shares another drink with Marco (Race Matias), both going into detail about her plan to uncover Lucas (JM de Guzman) and Edong’s (Jake Cuenca) potential revenge schemes.
Puzzled, Erica recalls the rare instance when Mel (Sue Ramirez) defended Lucas at Fitness Plus—a surprising sight, especially given Lucas’s inconsolable resentment of the girls (Mel, Erica, Beth, and Alice) during Edong’s incarceration. Meanwhile, a frustrated Lucas remembers Erica’s suspicions, even tracing back to their once-romantic past and the betrayal that tore them apart.
Accepting that her former friends will never believe her, Erica tells Marco that their investigation should focus solely on Lucas, particularly where he was at the day of Celestino’s (Bart Guingona) death. In the middle of their conversation, Erica’s one-night stand approaches her, attempting to win her back.
Things escalate when Erica rejects the man, prompting Marco to step in and protect her. Refusing to be powerless, she threatens to file a legal complaint before bending the man’s arm—a move Marco once taught her.
After the man flees the scene, Marco and Erica share a light moment, with Marco remarking that not all men are as Erica thinks.
