Back in their home, Dave persistently questions Audrey regarding her testimony in court. She stands firm with her words; according to her, she is confident that JR is not guilty of the crime being held against him. Straight on Dave’s face, she unyieldingly yells that JR is the only person she loves despite her marriage to him, thus causing the latter to grow furious. Aside from Dave, JR too has his share of reactions towards Audrey’s testimony. Upon catching sight of her, JR couldn’t help but express his gratitude for Audrey’s belief in his innocence. Unfortunately, though Audrey’s statement increased their chances to win the case, it isn’t enough to persuade the court of justice. The judge finally laid down his verdict: JR is to face lifetime imprisonment after being declared guilty of first degree murder. [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Though his family is trying to keep his spirits up, JR knows that his chance to get out of prison innocent is terribly slim due to strong substantial evidences thrown against him; so he tells Ramon to look after their whole family in his behalf just before they leave during one of their visits. On the resumption of JR’s trial, Dave is called on the stand. Though he had narrated only the cold facts, his opinion regarding JR’s ability to kill somebody further pins down the suspected murderer in the case, just as Ingrid wanted. After the trial, Marlene approaches Dave regarding his testimony. According to her, she might as well be dead than to see her sons in their current situation. Upon hearing this, Dave couldn’t help but be guilt-stricken. With his biological mother and surrogate mother on opposing ends, his position is left in jeopardy. Surprisingly, on their next meeting in court, Audrey’s testimonial completely opposes her husband’s. She sincerely tells everyone in court that, as far as she knows, JR doesn’t have the capacity to kill anybody. [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Unfortunately, the doctors fail to revive Elizabeth. She dies in the hospital, thus resulting to JR’s formal arrest for murder. With Elizabeth dead, there is no one left to prove him innocent of his alleged crime except for the culprit himself, Stanley. Back in their home, Stanley admits to his mother that he is the one responsible for the crime committed against Elizabeth. He tells her that he was supposed to speak with Ingrid, but only Elizabeth was at home to speak with him. They got into a heated argument, thus causing him to hit her with a vase out of great fury. The truth could have ended there, but unfortunately for Stanley, somebody overhears his confession; and to make it worse, it is caught on video. [ Tayong Dalawa ]

After hearing a scream from inside Ingrid’s house, JR rushes in the house unannounced to check out what is happening. There he catches sight of Elizabeth on a chair, bloody and lifeless. Before he could inform the authorities regarding the incident, the real killer whacks him from behind, leaving him laid down unconscious. In order to shift the authorities’ investigation, the true culprit purposely places the weapon used to kill Elizabeth on JR’s hand. Unfortunately, Dave and Audrey stand witness on the unexpected scene, thus causing the two to immediately assume that the crime is indeed JR’s doing. And though JR continuously denies the said allegation, Dave and his family pushes through with the case as Elizabeth lies in the hospital under critical condition. [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Since she claims that she is the one responsible for all the mishaps that both their families have gone through, Elizabeth took the initiative to bow her head first. She wants to set things straight, once and for all, so she drops by Marlene’s house to finally ask for her forgiveness. Upon hearing all of her confessions, Marlene and Rita end up accepting Elizabeth’s apologies. After receiving their pardon, Elizabeth also informs them of Dave’s intention to reconcile with them. On the other end, Ingrid is definitely not happy with her mother’s sudden decision to patch things up with Marlene’s family. She is completely against the idea of Dave being in good terms with his biological family—her worst set of enemies for that matter; so upon learning her son’s so called radical decision, she immediately barges in Dave’s new home to throw all the blame on Audrey and her alleged manipulative ways.
