Graduation day finally arrives and both JR and Dave are top honors of their class. As such, their respective families are all excited to see them receive their commencement exercises including Greta and Audrey. The only thing that ruins Ingrid’s happiness for her son is the fact that she will surely bump into Marlene again. This alarms Elizabeth knowing that there’s something more that links their families apart from Dave and JR’s strong bond. As such, she attempts to stop David from going to Baguio by planting a false bomb threat in their shooting range.

After the ceremony, Ingrid indeed bumps into Marlene inside the ladies’ room. Annoyed by the mere sight of JR’s mother, she unduly throws all sorts of insults towards her. Marlene refuses to retaliate by slapping her on the face though so as not to repeat her past mistakes again. She drenches her clothes with water instead knowing that such childish behavior won’t warrant any legal actions against her. Then Marlene quickly leaves the washroom to share her “triumph” with Rita and the others.

A greater surprise awaits her outside, however, as David suddenly turns up and it becomes clear to her that Ingrid happens to be his wife and not Elizabeth. She immediately walks out of the lobby to hide her surging emotions but JR runs after her and persuades her to tell him what’s wrong. Left without much choice, Marlene bitterly reveals to him that Dave’s father happens to be his as well. [ Tayong Dalawa ]
