JM and Yam’s scene was superb. Great acting! Intense and dalang dala ka. Applauded! Grabe!"
Aside from admiring JM and Yam, netizens also praised how ABS-CBN still produces top-caliber series despite the pandemic.
"Creativity, cinematography, story, production, acting, actors…let’s admit it only ABSCBN can give us dekalidad na teleserye!! Iba basta tatak Kapamilya! Ang husay!!! #ISMBatteredWife," @AizySky said. "Si JM De Guzman, given naman na halimaw sa acting-an yan. Grabe yung mata pa lang, nangungusap at nakakatakot na. Perfect trio si Yam, JM and Gerald,” Dubai based radio DJ,Johnny Biryani, stated.
"Hands down to the whole creative and production team!!!! ABS-CBN pa rin talaga!!! Congrats Yam, JM, and Gerald!!! #ISMBatteredWife," @chnohernandez voiced.
In the said episode, Peterson accused Rita of cheating, which led to a violent fight. With all her might, Rita fought and managed to run far enough for Raymund (Albie Casino) and Tupe (Gerald Anderson) to find her as the two were trying to check on her after they learned that she was missing.
Meanwhile, viewers learned that Kiko's (Gab Lagman) father Lab (Boom Labrusca) was the one who killed Tupe and Hannah's (Alexa Ilacad) father as his past crime flashed before him upon seeing their family picture while visiting.
Will Rita be able to escape the prison that has become of her marriage? Will Hannah discover the dark secret of Kiko's father?
