catatonic_17Recap
Teddy arrives home, distraught about what happened. He tells Sally that he saw the wife of the man who saved his life and his son…who turns out to be Benjie. Teddy is overcome by survivor’s guilt and Sally gets her husband to get up and talk to Benjie’s mom so he could get closure and be free from his guilt.
Benjie talks to Jason about what he and his mom discovered and Jason asks him if he was going to tell Sinag about it. Meanwhile, Sinag and Ninay are still arguing about her lovelife when Sinag gets a text from Benjie, asking to meet.
Teddy and Sally approach Amanda to apologize over what happened in the past, and Amanda cannot accept their apology. And yes, she sounds exactly like Don Vicente.
As Sinag waits for Benjie to arrive at the aviary, she tries to anticipate what Benjie wants to tells her. She’s all giddy with excitement but Benjie’s despondent mood breaks her happy bubble. He tells her about his mom and her dad and why he needs to go away. But at least to Benjie, it is clear that Mang Teddy is not to blame.
Sinag tells his friends and of course they have her back. They worry about her (cause heartbroken Sinag is such a bitter pill to deal with), and she tells them that she’s okay because he understands why Benjie had to go away. Ninay bemoans the fact that Sinag is stuck in the middle of all these even though she has nothing to do with it.
Sinag and Teddy also talk and he says sorry to her for how his past affected her blossoming relationship. Again, she assures her dad that none of this is his fault and that it was God’s will why he’s still there with them.
Amanda tells Benjie that she wants to go home and Benjie assures her that he’ll accompany her back, leaving his work in Pelangi, because she is more important to him than anything.
Another wave of concern for Sinag, this time from her siblings. Tala is confident that they will get back together because they’re each other’s destiny. Sinag gets a goodbye text from Benjie and she sends one back to him. Benjie looks very sad about leaving.
Marjorie informs Catalina about Benjie leaving Pelangi, and she loses her cool. Her last line to that Escobar girl, I want that as a ring tone.
Ninay overreacts about Sinag and Benjie’s separation to get her to react. And Badong uses this opportunity to make his presence felt (oh hey, we’d forget he exists if he doesn’t talk and get in the same frame as Sinag or Benjie). Sinag keeps on acting like she’s okay but fails.
New Catalina OOTD means that it took Catalina a day before she informed her dad about his grandson going AWOL on his Pelangi mission. But Don Vicente already knows because the boy called to ask for a leave (why wait for a week or so for the HR to file his request when he could go directly to the freakin company chairman/president, right?) and he agreed. Catalina couldn’t believe it and gets a “don’t stress yourself.” Apparently Don Vicente was told that Benjie had been working to get the Obispo’s trust so he could convince them to sell their property. And that he’s about to succeed.
Amanda and Benjie visit his dad’s grave. She tells Benjie that she wishes that when he meets the one that was meant for him, he won’t go through the same thing that she is going through.
Back in Bahay Obispo, Sinag is worrying about their families finances. Tala comes down and chats up with Sinag who is busy with their household budget. Apparently to young Tala, Sinag has to cry over her heartbreak to really be okay. (This scene is important because they need to have something they can use in a flashback montage for later.)
The next day, Tala tries to come up with a way to help with the family finances but does the exact opposite when she falls off a bridge. Sally gets a psychic premonition about the accident but is too late. Sinag rushes Tala to the ER and is full on panicking. Good thing Ninay was there to keep her from completely breaking down.
Amanda and Benjie have a meal, they talk about his work and his mom notes that something has changed with her son, and Benjie gets a fishbone stuck in his throat. Which makes him remember Sinag (hence the importance of that seemingly random scene in the earlier episode) and her magic hands.
As Benjie is watching Legally Blind on tv, his mom confronts him about his feels, asking him if he left his heart in Pelangi (cause she’s a mom and she knows when her son is troubled). Which he, of course, denies.
Random thoughts
* You know how cringe-worthy Marjorie’s entire script in this whole series is? Amanda’s script in this episode is vying for second place. It’s so irrational and needlessly maudlin.
* I love Sinag’s pink polka dress.
* I love the English OST!!!
* Catalina OOTD! Yeah! Not just one but two!
* I feel for Catalina. I bet she spent all her life to not only fill in her older brother’s place in the company but also his space in her father’s heart. She had told Elton how hard she worked to get to where she was, and to see Benjie getting favors left and right from her father and mother, it just seems so unfair. He got into the company because of her mother Helen, his designs get to be picked for the big Pelangi project because of her dad, and now, he gets to file for a leave even though he hasn’t been in the company for a month. And Benjie still hasn’t proven himself AT ALL! It’s all “potential” and “guts” but no concrete results. That’s why I am totally rallying behind Catalina. (and the fact that she gets to put down Marjorie with class totally has nothing to do with it. )
In conclusion
WAHHHHH!!!! Next week is so gonna be intense. Maine and Alden, and the Obispo clan will be bringing out the big guns to reduce us into a puddle of tears and snot. I’m excited to see Maine be intensely angry, more angry than Dani in God Gave Me You.
