Marco (Race Matias), accompanied by Erica (Kaila Estrada), talks about how news of Edong’s (Jake Cuenca) escape has already been made public, yet the police force in Amurao seems hesitant to treat it as a priority case.
Erica considers that the mayor of Amurao might be trying to avoid causing panic among the townspeople, but she still worries about the lack of urgency—especially since no one truly knows what Edong is capable of.
With protection already placed around Alice and Beth and the NLEA alerted, Erica doubts that Edong would head straight to Amurao. She insists they approach Lucas (JM de Guzman) again to learn more about Edong’s whereabouts.
Marco recalls Lucas’s shocked reaction upon learning of Edong’s involvement in the ambush at Alice’s house and starts to question whether Lucas could really be his accomplice, but Erica reminds him that Lucas himself remains untrustworthy.
A moment later, Marco offers to drive Erica home, but she declines the help, even playfully tapping his knee before heading to her car. As she drives away, Erica reflects on how Edong might have obtained their phone numbers. She speculates that he could have gotten them from the business cards she frequently distributed to clients and acquaintances, given how well-known she and her friends were in Amurao.
Marco agrees with her deduction, adding that they must remain vigilant at all times, since Edong might already know every detail of their routines.
Arriving at the parking lot, Erica hears a car beep and senses a man following her. Moments later, she quickens her pace and hides, arming herself before confronting the mysterious figure behind her.
