JR almost died during his recent mission and his commander is furious at him for being reckless in saving the kidnapped victim at the cost of his life. Everyone knows that he shouldn’t punish himself for Dave’s death by being too hard on himself but he remains deaf to reason. As such, his friends relay what happened to Audrey as she is the only person who can make him get his act together.

Upon hearing the news of his near accident, she immediately confronts JR to tell him that it is also her fault why Dave died. He could have not gone to that fateful mission if only she accepted his marriage proposal. JR on the other hand couldn’t bear to see her suffering so he immediately gives her a comforting hug and a light kiss on her forehead. Then he gets carried away as he also kisses her on the lips. When Audrey pulls away though, he quickly walks away, trying his best to hide his overwhelming emotions.

The incident has further confused JR so he decides to go on an out of town trip to clear his head. He begins to realize that he couldn’t keep his promise to Dave anymore because he has developed feelings for Audrey ever since he saved her from falling down a cliff when they were still kids. Is pursuing Audrey the only way for him to go? [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Ever since the court recognized JR as a legal heir of David, Marlene has asserted her son’s right to take control of his share in the Garcia’s supermarket chain. She insists to be there during board meetings, to supervise the business’s day-to-day operations, and to closely work side by side with Elizabeth. Irritated beyond belief, the latter asks Ingrid to pull herself together and resume her responsibilities at work. Then as soon as she’s back, she assigns Marlene in the waste management department just to piss her off.

9 months quickly pass by and yet JR is still blaming himself over Dave’s death. He often visits his grave telling to himself over and over again that he never meant to let him die. His guilt even causes him to volunteer for another risky search and operation despite his mother’s protests. When he bade Marlene goodbye at the supermarket, JR also bumps into Audrey and casually leaves her without revealing his true feelings again. As it is, he knows how much Dave loves her and he will never betray him by following his heart’s desire. Will JR come back safe and unharmed from his skirmish with the rebels? [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Stanley still believes that it was Audrey who stole his savings that he kept hidden inside his cabinet. Even when Stan owns up to his offense, he continues to blame Audrey and tells her to clear out of their home if she fails to give the money back to him within a week’s time. To make matters worse, Stanley accuses her of fooling around with JR soon after Dave’s death. He fumes that she is the reason why Ingrid doesn’t want to go through their agreed merger anymore.

But when JR learns that she often gets a hard beating from her dad, he angrily confronts Stanley about it and tells him never to hurt her again or else he would answer to him. As such, Stanley leaves Audrey be in the following days though he still sternly reminds her about his missing money and what will happen if it doesn’t turn up soon. This further worries Stan who recently discovers that his friend has already squandered the money in a bad investment. So when Ramon later offers to lend him the sum he needed, the susceptible teenager quickly agrees to work for him as a messenger.

Meantime, Ingrid finds out that it was JR’s fault why Dave was left to die during their fateful scuffle with the rebels. Though it was his job to secure the victim’s safety first and foremost, he could hardly deny her accusations as he also holds himself responsible for what happened. Ingrid then further drowns in misery just as the Dionisios’ happily basks in the news that the court has ruled in favor of JR regarding his paternity case and is hailed as a legal heir of David Garcia. Is this the beginning of a new life for him? Will he find a way to assuage his guilt towards his brother’s death? [ Tayong Dalawa ]

Seeing Ramon with a huge stash of money inside his room urges Lola Gets to follow him to work again. There she stumbles upon Leo hitting Ramon for trying to cover up for Nico’s sudden disappearance.

Even so, Lola Gets knows that Ramon was involved in killing Leo whose dead body was later found by the authorities. Panic-stricken, she attempts to explain what happened to her back home but both Marlene and JR could hardly believe her story. The fact that Ramon has found an alibi with the help of Greta compels her to keep her mouth shut for now.

The news of Dave’s death has also been a huge shock to JR’s family especially to Marlene who has always felt close to him for some reason. But when Ramon learns about what happened, he ignores the fact that JR is grieving because of how the latter refused to bail him out of jail before he went to his mission. Ramon believes that if Dave had been in his situation, JR wouldn’t think twice to use his clout in the military whether he really is at fault or not. As such, he doesn’t care anymore about his family’s safety as he plans to escape Leo’s clutches together with Olivia and Nico. They have stolen money from Leo’s bank account and are getting ready to go some place far from his reach. What happens though if Leo retaliates by putting his family’s life in danger?
