Still shaken by the revelations, Lucas (JM de Guzman) remembers many things at once. First, Erica’s (Kaila Estrada) hysterical declaration of Edong’s (Jake Cuenca) way of seeking justice through Mel (Sue Ramirez). Second, Edong’s unstoppable thirst for revenge—or, as he puts it, his way of helping those who wronged him. Lastly, Lucas recalls his final meeting with Mel, when they almost shared a kiss, and she was clearly still in love with him, as evidenced by their secret relationship in the past, which Lucas ended for the sake of Mel and Anton’s child.More memories come to mind, taking him back to the night he met Mel again after years of merely passing by each other. At a party, with Steve and Jenny present, Lucas refuses a handshake from Mel, who soon follows him, urging a fresh start and asking to move past their painful and complicated history—especially with Edong.Initially ignoring her approaches, Lucas eventually talks to and comforts Mel as the night ends, prompted by witnessing one of Anton’s (Jameson Blake) abusive moments toward her.Aware of Lucas’s hatred toward her and her friends, Mel presses him to publicize her battered life, hoping he might find poetic justice for his brother. Instead of agreeing, Lucas assures her that he won’t harm a woman—a promise he has held since growing up with an abusive father. This leads to a short time of solace for both, with Mel finally finding someone she feels safe with.Ending the flashes of the secret love story, Lucas stares at an old photo with Edong and tries to call him. To no avail, Edong cannot be reached, having promised to meet Lucas when it was all over.An unsettling cut scene then reveals Edong in a violent state, chopping something, with bright red blood splattered on his chest.Don’t miss an episode of “<a href="http://abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/what-lies-beneath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Lies Beneath</a>,” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, TV5, and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant</a>.
