Alyana's father Teddy angrily scolds Marco for badly mistreating Alyana and he angrily threatens him that  even if he is his daughter's boyfriend or his daughter's upcoming fiancé, he will never let him owned his daughter. This threat causes Marco to formally apologize to Alyana who is now horrified and afraid from his violent behavior. Brother Lorenzo is then encountered by Alakdan's group as Alakdan forces him and his church to vote for both Lucas and Hipolito and threatens to kill him and his family. When Lorenzo finally announces to everyone from the church not to vote for both Lucas and Hipolito, he was later ambushed and kidnapped by Alakdan's group at  the parking lot without Hipolito's knowledge as other members of his church organization (excluding Peng) are killed in a rain of bullets. Lorenzo was being held captive at Brandon's house, where Brandon physically roughs him up because of his announcement and was kept inside so that his father Lucas will cover up their misdeeds. Their success was short-lived, however; during the campaign party prepared by Lucas at the bar, Brandon takes Andy to his home while in a drunken state after meeting her in the party. Seeing Brandon's true nature like his half-brother Marco, he  attempts to rape Andy, prompting Vendetta to infiltrate his home while dispersing most of his men. Andy manages to knock Brandon out as she escapes and also encounters Lorenzo in the other room where he was being held captive who recognizes her as her nickname "Andeng". Andy frees Lorenzo and both continued to escape until Brandon angrily confronts them. Without warning, Cardo shoots Brandon before he could kill both Andy and Lorenzo and they regroup. Andy explains to Lorenzo that Cardo's group are a good people and they finally escaped but their conversations are overheard by Brandon after being  shot by Cardo. After rescuing Lorenzo and he told the media about the truth behind his kidnapping, Lucas immediately arrives at Brandon's house to see Brandon who is now on a stretcher, unconscious while being taken inside the ambulance. Lucas made a press conference, claiming that Vendetta was responsible from attempting to kill Brandon and he made a bounty of 5 million pesos on the vigilante group's heads. Therefore, his wife Catherine returns to the Philippines after visiting the convention and was bombarded by questions from the various media about both her husband and her step-son's  involvement in the kidnapping as she angrily confronted Lucas stating that they caused to ruin their family reputation in a scandal and he became reluctant towards his wife to fix their problems. When General Borja and two others from the CIDG visit Lorenzo at his office as he told them the whole truth of his kidnapping and informing them that Lucas' words during the press conference are full of lies as he decided with his lawyer to file a case of kidnapping and frustrated murder against Brandon, leading to Brandon's imprisonment. Despite Menchu's warning about Marco's violent  behavior, Catherine wants to bring Alyana back as she visits on her home to apologize for her son's actions and claiming that the news are all lies. However, when Marco visits at Alyana's house to fix his relationship to Alyana, it was blocked away by her father Teddy who informs him to leave. Teddy easily noticed about both Marco's father and his half-brother's involvement in the kidnapping of Brother Lorenzo as Marco became very defensive towards his family claiming that the news about both his father and his half-brother's involvement of Lorenzo's  kidnapping was a lie and the reason why he was prevented from gaining entry to her house. Teddy tells him that there's nothing wrong in Alyana's decision and his family's involvement in the kidnapping and don't try to dictate his daughter's decisions as his obsessive actions also caused his daughter to be pushed away in a distance. As the elections are getting near, Vendetta became ready and prepared to expose all of Brandon, Lucas and Hipolito's corruption within their political campaign. To their discovery, the special assistant to the President William Celerio (Bobby Andrews ) is secretly working with Lucas and Hipolito as their motive is to make Hipolito win in the elections by cheating. Lucas and Hipolito has a meeting with William and informing them that it will be their chance to make Hipolito win the elections. Later, William successfully steals Oscar's USB within the safe box undetected from Oscar and his other cabinets after deciphering Oscar's pass code from the safe box by observing him. He later calls his personal hacker to do his job. William led the ambush and murder of the election officers and soldiers then takes the trucks  carrying the voting machines to a secret warehouse to tamper the voting machines and afterwards, he killed his personal hacker to prevent any evidence that will point to him. Vendetta then successfully blocked the trucks along with Celerio's men and caused a shootout before the tampered voting machines can be delivered to the precincts, killing all of them and some policemen. Oscar then knew of the incident and postponed the election to investigate the tampered voting machines, not knowing that William stole his USB containing the pass code. When the elections came, which became peaceful and marking the success  of Vendetta's mission, Hipolito became angered for losing in the elections when he was in the last place, as well as Lucas' political group. Lucas wanted to wipe out Vendetta for interfering in their plans. Hipolito angrily calls Alakdan to get rid of Vendetta which he evilly agreed, unaware that Alakdan and his group would be paid from Lucas instead of him. Meanwhile, Oscar discovers the massacres during the elections after General Borja sent it to him. Realizing that it was William who massacred these people. During the victory celebration, Romulo allows Cardo to fix his family relationship including  Alyana as Ramil gives him an advice to fight his love for her. Cardo later reunites with his grandmother Lola Flora inside the church and informs him about Alyana's relationship with Marco and showing the annulment papers to him. Cardo refuses to sign the annulment papers and he continued to keep an eye on Alyana from afar when Marco gives her a bouquet of flowers. After Marco successfully proposed to Alyana, Cardo then kidnaps her while she was in the comfort room unbeknownst to Marco, and takes her into his former buddy in SAF in the North, Caloy Mendoza  (Joven Olvido). When Marco heard of this, he, with his yandere instincts, hunts both Cardo and Alyana with his personal guard. Meanwhile, Vendetta was in hot water again, this time for killing William Celerio while they were investigating him. And Lucas used this opportunity to get closer to Oscar and plans to get rid of him. While CIDG investigates further, the team was spying upon Andy and her mother. Konsehala Gina was successful in defaming Lola Flora with her karinderya and used her power to not only evict them on the house, but instill fear of Vendetta attacks upon gullible  villagers, all while still retaining their illegal operations with her henchmen (Zaito and Shernan). Lola Flora then moves to a house owned by Kapitana Dindi, Gina's successor. They started their karinderya anew. In the North, Cardo tries to woo Alyana into remarrying him again. At first, Alyana was very hesitant due to his previous shortcomings to her but eventually opens her heart for him once again and then severs her ties with Marco by throwing his engagement ring into the river. Cardo then serenades her with the help from his friends, and successfully proposes to her again afterwards. The  next day, they were married once again. After their remarriage, Cardo was personally confronted by Tanggol (Joross Gamboa) the leader of the bandits after he took him down during the festival where he aggressively wants to dance with Alyana. He successfully beats Cardo into a pulp knowing he's not fighting back and as part of his revenge for taking him down. After Cardo recovers from his injuries, he decided to take Alyana back to Manila only to be observed by another group of bandits led by Tanggol's older brother Baldo (Rommel Padilla), who wanted to know about Cardo  and what province he had come from and informs Tanggol and his group about his observations. Back in Manila, Cardo and Alyana went to their families to say their goodbyes as they have decided to stay in the province of Sto. Niño for the rest of their lives. While at Alyana's house, Teddy and Virgie disagreed at first at their decision but eventually accepted. After saying goodbye to Alyana's family, they were unexpectedly seen by Marco, who starts chasing them, but they successfully escaped from his clutches. Marco then went to Alyana's house again, accusing both Teddy  and JP for hiding Alyana from him, and when they tried to escape from him, Marco shoots at them, to the surprise of some customers in a karinderya, but they successfully evaded him which eventually led to Marco's investigation by the police. Both Cardo and Alyana finally get through to the Vendetta hideout in Legarda to see his comrades and to meet his wife as well as she meets Andy for the first time. Unbeknownst to them, an asset was sent by the PNP to the hideout to investigate and confirm if they were there. After the asset confirmed  that it was Vendetta's hideout, Oscar then sent both the PNP and CIDG there to wipe Vendetta out. At the same time, Hipolito then orders Alakdan to go to the hideout as well, after Terante ratted the operation. Marco, on the other hand, also planned to go there, against his parent's orders, to kill Cardo and reclaim Alyana after his mother told him where Cardo was. As Cardo wanted to say goodbye to his comrades, the PNP and CIDG arrive as well as Alakdan's group on both sides to infiltrate their hideout. However, Alakdan's girlfriend, Bubbles  (Bianca Manalo) immediately escaped from his clutches to meet up with Becky and the others on the Vendetta hideout as she warns them about Alakdan and his group causing Andy to warn Cardo and the others about their presence including the authorities. During the infiltration, Both Cardo and Romulo's group made their separate sides to kill most of Alakdan's group (excluding the authorities). As soon as they escape from Alakdan and his other hitmen, Cardo urges his wife Alyana to go with Becky and the others to escape while he and the others return to help Romulo. During  the gunfight, Happy (Anghel Marcial) is critically shot multiple times by Alakdan, but one of his men was killed too. Cardo allows Wangbu (Jobert Austria) to escape along with his wounded comrade. Cardo then ambushes Alakdan long enough to cause them into a dangerous brawl. Alakdan overpowers Cardo in a brawl and attempts to kill him by stabbing him with a knife but Cardo blocks him and finally stabs him in a stomach with a broken bottle, putting him unconscious. Cardo slowly walks away, finally avenged the deaths of the innocent victims including his son, Ricky Boy, from the explosions  caused by Alakdan and his group as he encounters both Jerome and Rigor who were injured in the gun fight and took them as they flee. By the time Vendetta escaped from their hideout from the authorities, Alakdan survives his wounds sustained from the broken bottle stabbed by Cardo and was calling for help. During the escape from the authorities, Marco and his private army suddenly arrived, causing a shootout once again. Greco (Sancho delas Alas) and Butete (Smugglaz) were wounded, Happy dies from blood loss due to his multiple gunshot wounds and Barakuda (Benzon Dalina) is killed by Marco  and his grenade launcher taken from him. Cardo and his group avenged their deaths by killing some of Marco's remaining men as Ramil and the others get to their vehicles to make their escape. During the car chase, Marco and his group shoots Cardo and his group but was avoided. Cardo finally had enough of Marco's murderous behavior for attacking them, he and his group stop their car as they dropped off to shoot their cars and successfully killed Marco and his group in a rain of bullets before Anton shoots both of their cars in explosion, avenging  Barakuda's death. At the hospital, the female doctor informed both Lucas and Catherine that Marco was declared dead on arrival due to blood loss sustained from his multiple gunshot wounds and Catherine couldn't accept that her son was dead as Lucas hugged his wife, mourning over his son's death, her mind broken. After taking down Marco and his group, Cardo and his group are now taking refuge on Wangbu's house where they meet Wangbu's family as Lolo Efren (Robert Arevalo) allows them to stay. At the time of Marco's wake, Lucas swore revenge against  Vendetta for murdering his son and he secretly orders Alakdan's men to massacre both of Cardo and Alyana's family while Brandon was willing to escape in prison to take revenge on Marco's death. Despite Catherine's mourning over her son's loss and not listening to General Borja's word, she was still unaware of her son's investigation of the authorities when he almost shot both Teddy and JP before being killed by Cardo and his group during the car chase. After Marco finally laid to rest, Lucas' direct order is on-going as planned and  Alakdan's group were tasked by Hipolito to capture Alyana's mother Virgie (Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino) to find information on Vendetta's whereabouts which they succeed in capturing her but their plans were discovered by both Teddy and JP. As the group failed to interrogate Virgie to find Vendetta's whereabouts, they were scolded by Hipolito while Alakdan decides to go with his group as they were ordered to attack Cardo's family next. Therefore, at Wangbu's house, Jerome and Rigor are confronted by Ramil after he was contacted by General Borja about their whereabouts but also had their  commotion during their dinner night with Wangbu's family. Bubbles finally tells Jerome, Rigor and Alyana about Alakdan's involvement with both Lucas and Hipolito as well as informing Cardo about their alliance. Meanwhile, Alakdan's group attempted to threaten Lola Flora and the others when they enter their house, but was backfired due to one of the police officers interrupts one of their men who acts as lookout, causing an intense gunfight until the arrival of General Borja and the others to open fire on Alakdan and his group, who quickly escaped. He successfully rescued his older sister and  the others. After Jerome informs General Borja about Cardo's plan, Cardo was angered because he thought that Jerome and Rigor are going to betray them, until he changes his mind after being convinced by him. Cardo then sets out a plan to kidnap Oscar. As Lucas allows Catherine to return to United States to subside her grief over Marco's death and Oscar refuses to give Brandon a pardon after he was guilty for his crimes during the court trial, he plans to kill Oscar to become the president of the Philippines by using General Alejandro Terante's (Soliman  Cruz) private army to assassinate him in exchange of protecting Terante's illegal activities, but Hipolito didn't like his plan and has a hidden agenda against him. Their assassination plot are soon found by Oscar's bodyguard, Harold Casilag (Jolo Revilla) after Oscar's presidential speech at a homecoming at Camilo de Santiago University, where they graduated, knowing it was a threat, he took Oscar and his family to safety as the sniper shoots the innocent civilians creating a commotion. Casilag tells them to stay safe until Lucas informs them to leave the area and to blame Vendetta for  causing the chaos. But Oscar was still unaware that Lucas was behind for assassinating him. Meanwhile, Casilag confronts the sniper and after a brief fight, he successfully shoots the sniper. As Oscar and his family escaped, they were cornered by several gunmen but they were killed by Casilag who arrived in time to protect Oscar and his family. Unfortunately, Casilag was gunned down and killed by the gunman posed as a civilian when he protects Oscar from getting shot before he kills it. He allows Oscar and his family to escape before dying until Lucas arrives the scene. As Terante 's first plan had backfired, Terante informs Lucas about the second plan which is to ambush Oscar and his family during the escape as Vendetta follows their route and they came in time to stop Terante's second plan when they are about to ambush Oscar and his family. During the gunfight between Vendetta and Terante's men, Oscar's car were initially thrown by a smoke grenade, forcing Oscar and his family to move to the other car in order to escape from being smoked and to avoid suffocation. However, Oscar's children Yohan (Francis Magundayao) was gunned down  by one of Terante's gunmen while Mary Grace (Nayomi "Heart" Ramos) was also shot from a stray bullet causing Marissa and Aubrey (Ryza Cenon) to be devastated and to Oscar's horror. While being on pursuit, Cardo follows to rescue them by riding a motocycle and to take down Terante's remaining men. At the third phase of Terante's plan, they succeeded in shooting Oscar, Aubrey, Marissa and their driver before Cardo kills them out. He then discovers Oscar was still breathing as he took him away in a bloody state to regroup with Vendetta leaving his family  behind who finally taken to the ambulance to the nearby hospital for treatment but both Yohan and Mary Grace are declared dead on arrival while both Marissa and Aubrey are in critical state. After Lucas scolds Terante for his failures and not following on his deal, Terante kills one of his cohorts by burning him alive inside the drum and using his burned corpse to pose as Oscar's corpse to make Lucas become the acting president of the Philippines as Hipolito begins to oppose Lucas after he had thought about more of his plans to kill Oscar's remaining  family. Back at Wangbu's house, Cardo and his group returned and takes the injured Oscar inside their home to be treated by Niko (Ced Torrecarion) despite that he's not a doctor or a surgeon but as a veterinarian and was assisted by Olegario to help him remove the bullet in Oscar's right chest as Cardo and his group observe them. After removing Oscar's bullet and his fever, Niko informs Cardo and his group about the good news on Oscar's recovery. At the hospital, Oscar's wife Marissa finally succumbs to her wounds after a number  of flashbacks happened to her and the aftermath of the ambush while Aubrey was in a comatose state until her right hand was moving indicating her survival of the ambush. Lucas now the acting president of the Philippines promotes Terante as the PNP Chief with the rank of four-star general to make direct orders to stop Vendetta as Hipolito dislikes his plan after both are staring each other at Yohan and Mary Grace's funeral. Oscar finally awakens after recovering from his injuries and meets Cardo and the group and he recognizes Olegario. Olegario informs them that his family  were killed causing him to be devastated and blames them for their deaths even if it kills him until Lucas made an announcement about Marissa's death and his daughter Aubrey who was in comatose, making him more devastated. Cardo and Jerome restrain an enraged Oscar while blaming them for their deaths not knowing that Lucas was behind the ambush for killing his family. After calming Oscar for the incident, Cardo realized during their discussion that Lucas convinced most people around Metro Manila including Oscar that their group were the ones behind the ambush as Lucas was really the one  behind it, not them. As Lucas takes the oath as the President of the Philippines, he appoints Hipolito as DENR secretary while Terante as the PNP chief. Despite the betrayal made by Lucas for replacing him as Philippine President, Oscar still didn't believe that Vendetta is not an enemy and wants to escape from them even he rudely tells Alyana about Cardo and his group being criminals in the state. Prior to Lucas' oath taking, it was revealed that Wangbu's cousin Patrick (CJ Ramos) is a drug pusher who sells sachets of "shabu" to his neighboring friends for  money and the reason why his sister Marie (Sue Ramirez) dresses up like a rich woman until the authorities caught them. Patrick shoots the police dead using Wangbu's gun, that he took while Wangbu was asleep, before he and the others fled after one of his friends was shot in the leg and he felt guilty after shooting the police. However, Rosa (Mystica), who is the drug supplier who distributes "shabu" like Patrick and frequently abuse her children due to her greed for money, angrily refused to gain entry at her home after Patrick reveals to her that he  had killed the police while they were after by them. At the Malacanang, Lucas informs Terante and Hipolito to deal against Vendetta as well as both Oscar and Aubrey as he considered her being dead despite her current condition. As soon as Oscar wants to escape from Vendetta by convincing both Jerome and Rigor, they refuse and it was revealed that Oscar is unable to listen to the vigilante group's explanations about the whole truth while he was targeted by Lucas in his recent administration after he made an ambush to kill him and his family. But after Jerome  and Rigor inform General Borja about Oscar, he flees the scene and both immediately informs Cardo about his escape causing him and his group to chase him until they cornered him through the river. After the chase, they manage to take Oscar back to Wangbu's house and he angrily calls them as the enemy of the state for killing innocent people but Cardo angrily berates him that they kill people involve in corruption which prompts Romulo to let his men guard him and they realize that stop him from escaping was risky. Despite to guard Oscar, he manages to  disarm Wangbu before he could bound him by the ropes and takes him as his hostage by gunpointing them with his handgun which provokes Cardo for his enraged actions to escape from them. Despite the commotion between them, Cardo allows Oscar to escape much to everyone's disappointment. Cardo's reasons to allow Oscar to escape is to let him know who his real enemy is and also prays for his safety as Alyana calmly tells him to rescue him knowing he was in danger which he agreed. As General Borja keeps his position but is under Terante's command , he was ridiculed by Oscar's supporters due to his relation to Cardo and his vigilante group especially his older sister Lola Flora after both Yolly and Wally were nearly attacked by townspeople due to manipulation. As Oscar arrived at the church where the remains of his wife Marissa and his two children Yohan and Mary Grace are kept during the wake, he sneaks through the back of the church as he saw their caskets. Therefore, he accidentally discovers that Lucas directly orders Terante to kill him during their discussion with Hipolito after he mentions him along with Vendetta. Oscar  now learns that it was really Lucas who killed his family in the ambush and not Vendetta, and he cannot forgive him for killing his family. As Oscar leaves, Lucas immediately followed suit as both saw each other eye to eye as he escaped causing him to order Terante and his men to kill him. Oscar was chased by several policemen knowing he was in danger and he now thinks who side he was on until he was rescued by Cardo and his group while they wipe out Terante's men and all policemen in a rain of bullets  before leaving the premises, while Cardo picks Hidalgo like a cat. Oscar finally apologizes to Cardo for doubting them as enemies and for his rash behavior which Cardo gladly accepts and reassures him that he was alive. Meanwhile, Lola Flora confronted the townspeople who forced to evict them on their home and it was revealed that it was Konsehala Gina who was behind the manipulations of the townspeople because of her relationship to Cardo and Vendetta and also responsible for previously evicting them. She soon called Teddy about their current situation that they moved several blocks away on Borja's  own unused house. Failing to kill Oscar, Lucas became disappointed to Terante's failures as Terante had an intense argument with Hipolito. He directly orders Terante to kill Oscar followed by Cardo and his group. After Vendetta rescued Aubrey from their ambush plot and being reunited with her father, Lucas angrily scolds Terante for his second failure.
