The rift between Eli and Jackie widens as Mateo goes on trial in the court. Though both are seated on Fidel’s side, it still doesn’t change the fact that Mateo is Eli’s father. The situation worsens as Jackie believes Fidel’s side of the story—that Mateo was a former lover of Fidel’s mom and he was out to destroy the Madrigal family ever since he returned in their lives. Eli on the other hand vows to Mateo that he will find his long-lost sibling. After begging Daniel for the truth, he learns that Onay is Mateo’s daughter! Together with JB, Eli meets Onay to plead his case. Onay however refuses to reclaim her parentage. As a last resort, Eli reveals that it was Mateo’s great love for her was the reason behind his fury the night he fought with Fidel.

As soon as JB arrives home from the trial, he finds Celine lying unconscious on the floor. He then brings her to the hospital where he learns that Celine’s cancer has relapsed!

Meanwhile, Lena returns from her trip in the province with the news that Joaquin is already dead. She drops by Eli’s house to share his grief with Jackie. But since her sister is not there, she ends up commiserating with him. Intoxicated, Lena begins to kiss Eli, thinking that he’s Joaquin.

Both Eli and Lena are remorseful for causing Jackie’s miscarriage. But with Fidel adding fuel to the fire, Jackie remains indifferent towards their pleas for forgiveness. After talking to Celine though, Eli tries to get past Fidel to see his wife again but the latter stops him by force. In another instance, Lena also explains to her sister that for one crazy moment, she thought Eli was Joaquin so she kissed him that night. But her admission that she wanted to steal Eli away from her before only proves that she’s really at fault. To her shame, Lena bids Fidel goodbye then leaves the home that she has come to love. In the prison, Mateo expresses his gratitude to Lolo Bogs for taking care of his daughter all these years. At the same time, he announces his intention to make Onay his sole heir as well as the head of his business. Instead of getting excited, Onay begs Mateo to find it in his heart to accept her brother. Because despite the conflicts between them, she believes that Mateo still cares for Eli. Meanwhile, Celine’s health worsens with each passing day. Hence, she asks Onay to promise to be there, perhaps for JB, even if she’s gone.

In the trial court, Mateo finally narrates his side of the story. During the cross-examination, he admits that the gun which killed Monique was his yet denies the accusation that he was responsible for her death.

On the other hand, Eli’s dilemma increases when Jackie packs her clothes and leaves their house for good. He seeks Jackie’s mercy by reminding her of the things that they’ve conquered together, all to no avail. Back in the island, Celine spends what’s left of her life watching the sunset with JB, making him sing their song and recalling the beautiful memories that will be forever etched in her heart. She smiles at the thought, leans on JB’s shoulder, and then slowly closes her eyes. That’s when JB notices Celine's lifeless body before shouting her name in pain. |

As she files for an annulment, she also goes job-hunting since her father’s savings is already depleting. At the same time, she visits Mateo in the prison to tell him that he deserves his punishment for killing Monique.
