With this, we expect nothing short of suspenseful, ‘gigil’-inducing, and altogether gripping courtroom sequences in the series, since it’s a climactic event in the story of viral girl Rica (Charlie Dizon) and everyone affected by her scandal.</p><p>It went exactly like that in the recent episodes as the Sicat family watched the suspects Jigs (Markus Paterson) and Archie (Vance Larena) get interrogated by Atty. Laura (Ria Atayde), while the Ramones family intimated them with annoying drama and confidence.</p><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="444" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K79EELAn-gE" title="YouTube video player" width="790"></iframe></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="1937069"></ivs-player></div><div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div> </div><p>In last night’s episode, February 21, Atty.

She refused to be seen crying, so Dan (Miko Raval) told her to just look at him all the while holding her hand. That father-daughter moment looked so real. Sans the script, though, Charlie and Miko just prefer ‘kwela’ moments than big-time drama.</p><div> </div><center><img alt="Viral Scandal courtroom behind-the-scene" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/viralscandal/2022/02/22/viral-scandal-2.jpg"/></center><center><small><em>Photo credit to Markus Paterson IG</em></small></center><div> </div><p>Enemies on TV but clingy friends in real life!
