"It's Okay to Not Be Okay" Episode 58 is washed in black, as the characters mourn the death of Mia (Anne Curtis)' father. And towards the end, we finally get to see the part where a woman in black paints a butterfly on Matmat (Carlo Aquino)'s mural, which the series managed to keep still very mysterious and puzzling.
Fans of the original K-Drama know that this woman would be “Ingrid,” yet the Philippine adaptation still managed to keep viewers guessing about her true identity.
The episode picks up from the scene where a person in disguise helps Samuel escape from the facility, leading to the reveal that he has been taken to the house of Olivia (Maricel Laxa). Filled with desperation, Olivia stares at Samuel’s face and tells him that she plans to bring him to the farmhouse she bought for them. She says they’ll leave soon once her accomplice arrives, whose identity remains unknown by the end of the episode.
But instead of her accomplice, it’s Patrick (Joshua Garcia) and Eden (Agot Isidro) who arrive to retrieve Samuel. Earlier, Eden had asked for Doc Anok (Bobot Mortiz)'s permission to head to Samuel’s possible location, saying she's certain about who could have taken him. Olivia fails to stop the two from entering. Once he confirmed that Samuel is indeed inside Olivia’s house, Patrick immediately calls for an ambulance and the hospital also sends police assistance.
As the officers arrest Olivia, Patrick asks why she did all of this, only to be left puzzled by her blank reply, "Hindi kita pwedeng iwan dahil ang loob mo at loob ko, nakatali magpakailanman." Patrick is taken aback, wondering if both Olivia and Eden have a shared fondness for poetry.
Mia decides not to file charges against Olivia, saying it would only be a waste of time. If anything, she would rather let Olivia take Samuel; at least there’s someone willing to take care of her father, something she herself can never commit to.
The scene cuts to Doc Anok and Li (Rio Locsin)'s conversation at OK Hospital, where Li commends Eden's quick thinking during the incident with the missing patient, proof, she says, that promoting her to nurse manager was the right call. But Doc Anok isn’t fully convinced. She wonders why Eden was so quick to assume that Olivia took Samuel, adding that he's certain the two nurses are hiding secrets.
Patrick, too, senses the cracks in the story. He secretly follows Olivia and spots her entering a café, dressed in black and a wig, which he’s never seen her wear before, making him wonder if this is what Ingrid meant in her final book where she mentioned about "pagpapalit ng anyo ng bruha."
Meanwhile, Olivia's actions have only caused Samuel's condition to crash until he eventually dies. In a panic, she rushes to OK Hospital, crying and hysterical as she insists on getting inside. But Eden stops her at the door, telling her there’s no point in going in. Patrick observes Olivia’s breakdown, as well as Eden’s reaction when she coldly blames Olivia for Samuel’s death.
Patrick tells Mia about her father’s passing, but she meets the news with indifference, insisting that nothing really changes because in her heart and mind, her father had already been gone for a long time. Yet as soon as Patrick leaves, sadness crosses her face as she remembers the last good thing her father ever did for her, reading her a fairy tale, which likely sparked her love for such stories and the reason she became a writer like her mother.
Mia eventually finds it in her heart to attend her father’s burial, together with Patrick, Matmat, and the people who have become her new family. As she pays her final respects, she recalls the moment her father once strangled her out of fear, after seeing the reflection of his monstrous wife in his daughter’s eyes, thinking Mia would be better off dead than turning into her mother, Ingrid. But for the first time in the series, we finally see what happened afterward—how Samuel broke down in guilt and repeatedly begged his daughter for forgiveness while admitting he had been wrong all along.
Olivia is shown watching from afar, before the scene turns to a woman in black walking eerily into the OK Hospital mess hall where Matmat did his mural. She picks up a brush, drenches it in black paint and smears it across the artwork.
The next day, Mia joins Patrick and Matmat on a visit to OK Hospital for her meeting with Doc Anok, who wants to discuss whether she’s ready to return to her literature class. They’re greeted by Mang Tommy (Bodjie Pascua), who’s overjoyed that Matmat has finally found the door out of his trauma now that he’s able to paint a butterfly again. A puzzled Matmat insists he never drew one and runs straight to the mess hall.
The scene cuts to Eden lighting a candle at Samuel’s grave, whispering, "Tapos na ang paghihirap mo." Back at the tension in the hospital, Matmat breaks down upon seeing the black butterfly painted in the middle of his mural—the same design as the butterfly on the brooch pin worn by the woman who killed his and Patrick’s mother. Mia’s eyes well with tears as she looks at the butterfly painting and listens to Matmat, gripped by a harrowing realization.
The "real butterfly" is starting to reveal herself.
