After Mel (Sue Ramirez) passes out during an interview at the Grace & Glam fashion show, she awakens to find Anton (Jameson Blake) once again putting on his sympathetic exterior.
Angered, she demands that Anton leave her alone, but he explains that he wasn’t aware of her injury before touching her, which led to her fainting.
Soon after, the doctor informs Mel of her bruised liver, emphasizing that if it were worse, she could’ve died. Realizing the fatal state that she’s in, Mel debates whether to tell the truth instead of conforming to the made-up excuse of her clumsiness as the cause of her injury.
Attempting to save himself from being caught as the cause of Mel’s injury, Anton abruptly crafts another shallow reason, but Mel gives in and decides to affirm the first excuse about her slip and fall.
When the doctor mentions Mel’s enormous billboard along EDSA, she feels thrilled, for a while overlooking the troubling events that took place.
Observing her delight, Anton’s words are laced with ulterior motives, especially when he speaks of how Mel has things she wants to protect, which Anton can easily deprive her of.
