As the night deepens, Erica (Kaila Estrada) and Marco (Race Matias) continue their watch at Kyle’s (Ivan Carapiet) mother’s house. During their surveillance, a development occurs: Kyle’s mother discreetly leaves in a car, heading to an unknown destination.
Meanwhile, Lucas (JM de Guzman), who has been guarding Travis’ (Andrew Gan) home, notices Travis riding his motorcycle toward a mysterious location. Moments later, Erica, Marco, and Lucas unexpectedly regroup outside the abandoned house of Kyle’s relatives—where both Kyle’s mother and Travis have walked in.
Not wasting any time, Erica and Lucas question Kyle’s mother again, voicing their suspicions that Kyle is indeed inside. Seizing the distraction, Marco sneaks into the building—but he encounters an obstacle that nearly costs him his life.
Hearing the gunshot, Erica rushes in, worried about Marco. Amid the unfolding chaos, Travis is unable to stop them and instead struggles to catch up.
Finally reaching Marco, Erica freezes at the sight of Kyle holding a gun, confirming her suspicion that he had been hiding all along—but now with a massive burnt scar covering one side of his face.
Noticing the people gathered around him, Kyle panics, screaming for them to stop staring. Amid the chaos, Marco skillfully disarms Kyle, who immediately clings to his mother the second she comes to his aid.
In desperation, Erica brings up Louisa’s (Mutya Orquia) murder, which baffles Kyle, as well as his mother and Travis—who defends him, insisting he had nothing to do with her demise.
Erica then outlines her suspicions: on the night Louisa was killed, Kyle was supposedly back in Amurao. She further states that he had threatened to exact revenge on MABEL. Despite all the evidence pointing toward him, Kyle insists that he wasn’t involved and that he never cared an ounce about the girls—especially Louisa.
Kyle only gives a sliver of truth when Erica, fueled by rage, presses him, demanding to know how many more women he will abuse. He finally admits that on the night of Louisa’s death, he spent the entire night being intimate with Michelle (Kate Yalung).
Sensing that Kyle won’t reveal anything further, Erica leads Marco and Lucas to leave the premises—until Kyle insults Louisa again, expressing delight in her murder.
Hearing this, Erica’s anger boils over. She grabs Kyle by the collar and hurls insults at him in the same cruel way he has always done to others, even physically fighting back against him. Her fury causes him to lose control, overwhelmed by being overpowered.
