Soon after the meeting between Alice (Janella Salvador), Erica (Kaila Estrada), and Beth (Charlie Dizon) about their safety plans for the elusive Edong (Jake Cuenca), Mel and Beth share that both of them will continue with their schedules—that their lives will never be put on hold just because of Edong.
As the call between Mel and Beth ends, Mel worriedly checks her bruise, which seems to be far from recovery. Slipping into Mel’s office unannounced, Anton (Jameson Blake) informs her that he contacted Tim (Dingdong Bahan) to cancel her upcoming schedules for the reason of keeping her safe inside the house.
Infuriated, Mel reproves Anton’s control over her decisions again. Like an irreplaceable habit Anton has, he puts on another pretentious personality once more, waiting for Mel to come to him as the night ends.
Not long after, Mel hurriedly notifies Tim and Tom (Patrick Ramirez) not to cancel her appointment with Christi Yu—Women of Asia magazine’s editor-in-chief. In support of Mel’s dream feature, Tim and Tom agree but also express their concern for Mel’s condition after the Grace & Glam incident, when she fainted.
Mel assures them that she would be sitting for the duration of the interview and reminds them to avoid listening to Anton’s orders. As the call nears its end, Mel almost spills Anton’s abuse of her, and Tim and Tom wonder about what Mel’s been hiding; even so, they pity Anton instead.
