Dave leads the search and rescue operation of a missing American diplomat and has been in charge of covering for JR’s troop as they safely bring the victim to the extraction point. But when the chopper has arrived to pick them up, Dave is nowhere to be seen for he got stuck in the middle of a combat. JR refuses to leave without him but his commander orders him to take over the craft and take away the diplomat from the dangerous zone as soon as possible. The last thing he saw is Dave running away while firing at the rebels then a sudden explosion that ultimately kills him.

However, JR clings to the hope that his brother is still alive as he later returns to the terrorist-infested area in search of Dave. Unfortunately, he stumbles upon Dave’s bloody dog tag and a photo of Audrey near his unidentifiable remains lying beside the other casualties that day. The Garcia family is immediately notified about his death while JR went straight to Audrey to personally tell her about the sad news. How will they all deal with losing another loved one soon after David’s death? [ Tayong Dalawa ]

The next time Audrey bumped into JR, she apologizes to him for being too proud to admit she couldn’t have escaped the thief’s advances without his help. But soon after they have patched things up, JR is called on a search and rescue mission in Mindanao, leaving Audrey worried for his safety in such a rebel-infested territory. Since she couldn’t stop him from doing his job, Audrey tearfully hugs him instead as she bids him goodbye. There may be words left unsaid between them but it seems that they already know what they feel for each other. So when JR reunited with his brother in Mindanao, he tells him that maybe it’s time for him to let go of Audrey. But Dave insists that he would make it up to her as soon as he returns to Manila. As it happens, she is the only person that gives him hope to continue living amidst the harsh reality of his life as a soldier. But would he make it alive after their troops go into combat with the terrorists this time around? [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Since Audrey clearly doesn’t want JR to baby-sit her, he secretly follows her after working hours to make sure that she gets home safe. But then she gets held-up one night and the thief even attempts to rape her too. Luckily, JR arrives in time to save her from her dire situation. She inevitably discovers, however, that he happened to be at the same place as she was because he has been tailing her all along. But instead of thanking him, Audrey remains proud and stubborn about wanting to be left alone. When in truth she is just avoiding the temptation to fall for him even more.

In the meantime, Ramon is happy that Greta has finally given him a chance to prove to her that he can give her a good life. What he doesn’t anticipate though is that his illicit affair with Olivia would result into a bigger complication for him. His friend has warned him before but he still keeps on fooling around with her behind Leo’s back. But as they say, there are no secrets that can’t be found because Leo catches Olivia arranging a tryst with her mystery man. He angrily beats her to death but she still refuses to admit who her other man is. And since it was Ramon’s friend who came to bring her to the hospital, Leo thinks that he’s the one Olivia is trying to protect. [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Audrey is supposed to go on a double date when JR suddenly appears and drives her potential suitor away. Though he insists that he is just keeping his promise to Dave that he would look after her welfare, Audrey’s best friend suspects that JR is doing it for his own sake. However, Audrey can’t help but feel disgusted towards his possessive attitude, which is why she broke up with Dave in the first place. As such, she gives him the cold shoulder for acting exactly like his brother.

Aside from the recent squabble between the two, Audrey is further discouraged to entertain her feelings towards JR as she bumps into Ingrid at the supermarket. There the latter warns her about hurting Dave again by getting involved with another guy. She even threatens not to push through with her merger with Stanley if Audrey finds someone else. But then Audrey is honest enough to insist that friendship is the only thing she could offer Dave for now.

Dave on the other hand is very much active in combat together with his troops in Mindanao. They have recently discovered that the rebels have been amassing weapons through illegal imports. With the help of their informant, they are able to raid the warehouse where an exchange of smuggled firearms is being made. As it is, Leo’s group is responsible for the contraband and they barely escaped the whole encounter unscathed. Though Ramon is against getting involved with terrorists this time around, he unfortunately no power to defy Leo’s orders. How long will he be able to stand working for such an evil man?

Rather than postpone the inevitable, JR reiterates to Greta that she is just a friend to him and nothing more. He refuses to admit to her though that his heart already belongs to Audrey, knowing that it would only make matters worse. But Greta senses that this is the real reason why he can’t return her feelings so she confronts Audrey about wanting both the Garcia brothers for herself. Luckily, Audrey gets a hold of herself for they were at the supermarket then. So when Greta slaps her on the face, she simply warns her that she wouldn’t back off the next time they meet again. Is there really a way for her to start a relationship with JR given their complicated situation?

Marlene on the other hand is still pissed at Ingrid for delaying their monthly allowance. As such, she barges in her meeting with the officer from the embassy demanding for their family’s only means of income. Upon seeing the officer, however, Marlene suddenly accuses Ingrid of engaging in business expansions behind her back. But before she gets the chance to grill the officer, Ingrid hastily shoos her away with a promise to double their monthly allowance in exchange of her peaceful exit. How long will she get away from pretending that she is the legal wife of David? [ Tayong Dalawa ]
