This week's story:
Muyak looks on helplessly while Mila freefalls from the bridge. Fortunately, Mila's power kicked in and she floated back up the bridge. Anthony finds her and she agrees to return back to work. Anthony acts nicer to Milagros they have established that she was the girl he had befriended in the park years ago. Anthony would take her out during her free time, which Anthony's mother, Carmen, disapproved of the moment she got wind of it. Carmen is not the only one who disapproves. Anthony's friends begin questioning what his real intentions are - is he falling in love with a maid? Anthony denies being in love, saying that she is just a friend. The jokes get on Anthony's nerves and he calls off a "date" with Mila. Muyak witnesses all this and feels sad for Mila who spent part of the night crying because Anthony cancelled their date.
In Lireo, Amihan starts avoiding Ybrahim because she has fallen in love with him, this much she admits to Imaw. Alena still does not remember anything but when she had a glimpse of Ybrahim from afar, his face seemed familiar to her. Danaya catches Alena staring at Ybrahim and drags her away.
Pirena on the other hand, had volunteered to try squeezing information out of Hitano. When it was apparent to Aquil that Pirena have had no progress, he recommends that Hitano be put to death. Hitano is led out of the palace for his execution. Pirena secretly follows and kills the executioners before they could chop off Hitano's head. Pirena tells Hitano to run and not come back to Lireo.
At the palace, Ybrahim visits his daughter and attempts to get her to accept him. For added credit, he tells her he is a prince of Sapiro. Lira slams him by saying his title is useless for Sapiro does not exist anymore so Ybrahim rules no one. As Lira walks out on her father (again), three men who had secretly listened in on the exchange also vanish. These same men would keep an eye on Ybrahim after finding out he is King Arameo's son. They would assault him from time to time to test his battle skills, and when they would leave, they'd hint at Ybrahim that if he manages to defeat them, they will tell him secrets about the Sapiryans that he won't learn from anybody else.
Worrying about her father's identity is actually at the bottom of Lira's priorities. After meeting the man Cassiopeia had foretold she would fall in love with, Lira would spend a lot of time gazing at his face as reflected by the waterfall. She becomes interested about his world, wanting to know how mortals live. Once more, she would use her mother's medallion to step into the portal, asking the Asnamon to bring her to a place where she could procure clothes that mortals wear. Amihan would later realize that her medallion is missing, but would never suspect that it was Lira who took it.
| Outside of Lireo, Hitano is running for his life and comes across King Hagorn and his men. He pleads for his life and asks to join the Hathors. At the palace, Aquil finds out that the executioner is dead and that Hitano is missing. He reports this to the queen. Danaya suspects someone in the palace is helping Hitano. |  |
After Aquil's report, Danaya tells the queen that she has come up with a plan to bring Alena's memory back. She, like the others, assumed that Alena had returned from Devas, so she thought it logical that if she travelled to Devas, she may be able to request Bathala to give back Alena's memory, as well as the water jewel that she took with her when she died (the way I understand it, if the fairy guarding one of the jewels die before the jewel is separated from her, that jewel cannot be retrieved from the dead body as her spirit brings it to Devas as well). Amihan thinks this is a good idea, and adds that Alena should go with Danaya. This news does not sit well with Gurna (Pirena's nanny, confidante, and accomplice); she fears what may happen if the queen found out that Alena never went to Devas in the first place. Pirena quells her fears, saying that she already has a plan.
On the other side of the portal, a girl is walking around a department store dressed in a gown. Fascinated by the things she sees, she does not realize that people are laughing at her back, thinking she is crazy. Mila, who is there shopping with friends, takes pity on her. She approaches the strange girl and is shocked when the girl twists her hand, thinking Mila was assaulting her. The girl speaks in a foreign tongue Mila does not understand. Mila asks if she can speak English. The girl begins using Filipino, which made it easier for Mila to understand her.
Mila's friends do not think it is a good idea to befriend the "weirdo", whose name is Lira; but Mila prevails so they found themselves tagging along while Mila helps Lira choose clothes. When it was time to pay for the merchandise, Lira attempts to pay with gold but the cashier would not accept it and calls security. An irate Lira starts a small fire to create confusion, grabs the clothes, and runs out with Mila and her friends at her heels.
Outside the store, Mila tells Lira that she could be imprisoned for stealing. Her friends do not hide their uneasiness so Mila gives them leave to go home for she can handle Lira alone. Lira agrees to follow Mila, but before they could get anywhere, Mila had to convince her new friend to board a passenger jeepney. They both have a memorable ride as Lira was seeing many things for the first time, and Mila found herself acting like nanny to an overgrown kid.
In Lireo, while Danaya and Alena are excitedly discussing the trip to Devas, Pirena is talking to Amihan in another room. She remarks that once Alena gets her memory back, she will remember her love for Ybarro. She adds that it won't be a big deal since Ybarro is a sang'gre himself. Amihan is surprised to hear this and asks Pirena to explain. Pirena gleefully reveals that Alena's beloved Ybarro and the Ybrahim who fathered Amihan's daughter are one and the same.
Pirena's revelation prompts Amihan to leave the palace in order to find the truth. When the Queen of Lireo announced her presence in the Mandirigma camp, Apitong thought she and her guards were there to retrieve an item recently stolen by one of his people. Amihan tells him that she is visiting to ask if Ybarro and Ybrahim are one and the same person. There was a long silence before Apitong admitted that it is true. Amihan leaves and goes off on her own to look for Ybrahim. She finds him sleeping beside the waterfall where, unknown to Amihan, he and Alena first met. She watches him lovingly and leaves sadly when Ybrahim murmurs Alena's name in his sleep.
Cassiopeia, who was passing by the waterfall unnoticed, recognizes the look of love on the queen's face and worries that her feelings may put the whole of Encantadia in jeopardy. She is partly right for Pirena's machination worked as planned. Amihan returns to the palace and tells Danaya and Alena that she is withdrawing her permission for them to go to Devas. To justify her decision, Amihan tells her sisters that Bathala has his reasons for taking Alena's memory and the water jewel, and they must respect this.
Danaya is shocked at Amihan's decision and had to console a crestfallen Alena who could not understand why Amihan would not want her to regain her memories and her jewel if she really cared for her as a sister. Though Danaya tells Alena to trust that Amihan must have a good reason, Danaya herself has doubts and decides to sneak around. This is how she overheard Amihan confess to Imaw her selfish reasons for calling off the trip.
In the world of mortals, Mila and Lira finally arrive at Anthony's home. Mila stashes Lira in the nearest empty bedroom, tells her not to touch anything, then goes out to look for Anthony. Left inside a room full of strange things, Lira starts wondering what they are and pushes a button on one of the gadgets. Loud music starts to play and would not stop even after Lira ordered it to. Lira does the next thing she could think off - grab the gadget and throw it to the ground. Mila rushes back when she hears the racket, and barely had time to hide Lira when Anthony's mother walked into her room to find her CD player in pieces and Mila standing over them.
Naturally, Carmen got angry, so angry she even yanked Mila by the hair; she did manage to get a hold of herself and stormed out before she could further hurt the maid. Carmen had cooled down by the time she bumps into Anthony. She informs him that Mila broke her CD player and in her anger, she might have hurt the girl. She warns Anthony that if Mila breaks anything again, she is fired even though she is Anthony's friend.
Back in Carmen's room, Lira steps out of hiding when the coast is clear and apologizes for causing trouble. She takes off a bracelet and gives it to Mila. Mila would not take it because it was too expensive compared to the broken CD player, so Lira puts in on her wrist, telling her it is a symbol of their friendship. They sneak into the maids' room where Lira tries on one of the dresses she took from the store. As they were chatting, Anthony knocks on the door and tells Mila he wants to talk to her. Once more, Lira must find a hiding place and the nearest one was behind the door.
Mila steps out of the room and Anthony asks her where she ran off to, and how the CD player got smashed. Mila doesn't answer the first question and tells Anthony she would pay for the CD player. Anthony tells her she doesn't have to then asks her to go prepare his food. Mila returns to her room and Lira notices her sad face. Mila tells Lira what she's feeling, only to be told that it is unlikely for a rich man like Anthony to fall in love with a servant. Lira goes on to tell Mila that where she came from, sang'gre like her are not allowed to choose men beneath their rank. She then proceeds to reveal to Mila that the person she loves is not a sang'gre but she would fight for him, and she thinks Mila should fight for her love as well.
At the Mandirigma camp, Ybrahim shows up and is told that the queen had come to visit. Apitong further tells him that Amihan knows that he is also known as Ybarro. Ybrahim decides to go to Lireo and talk to Amihan.
In Lireo, Danaya seeks an audience with Amihan to know the real reason for the cancellation. Amihan replies that she is merely looking out for their safety. Danaya doesn't bite and reminds her older sister that a queen should not fall in love, which is why their mother made sacrifices in putting duty above everything else. Amihan thinks about what Danaya said and decides to pray to Bathala for guidance. She is distracted when Ybrahim appears for a visit.
Danaya had by then gone to Alena's room, fuming that Amihan lied to her. She tells Alena that she is having doubts about the queen and that she thinks they should go to Devas even without her permission.
In Hathoria, King Hagorn is explaining to Hitano why killing Amihan will make it easier for them to conquer Lireo. This becomes the first task of Hitano, who is given a crossbow, and perhaps this is Hagorn's way to test his loyalty.
Lira goes back to Encantadia. Once her presence is known in the palace, Amihan asks where she had been. Lira makes up a story about roaming the forest and losing track of time. Amihan asks if she has seen her medallion and Lira answers in the negative.
Meanwhile, Danaya and Alena steal a flying ship in order to hasten their journey. They hadn't gone far when Hathors see them and make chase in what seem to be ornithopters. Danaya was able to turn back the first few Hathors to land on the ship deck, but found herself outnumbered in no time. Alena joins her and together they trounce the enemy. A menacing Hathor descends on the ship and this turns out to be Hitano. Alena tells Danaya to leave this man to her. Once more, Alena proves more skillful and Hitano finds himself falling from the ship. An ornithopter swoops down to catch him.
At the palace, Aquil is reporting to the queen that Danaya and Alena are missing. Pirena guesses right that the two have decided to go to Devas even without permission. Amihan orders Aquil to bring the two back to Lireo. Aquil and his guards board the rest of the flying ships. Unknown to Amihan, Pirena charges through the skies in order reach the disobedient princesses before Aquil and his men. Still recovering from the attack of the Hathors, Danaya is starting to think that their quest is doomed and that Bathala really does not want them to go to Devas.
In Lireo, Amihan tells Imaw that given the current string of events, she is beginning to doubt her ability to rule. In Hathoria, Hagorn is wondering who Mila is. He had chanced upon Lira ordering the portal to take her to this person. He summons Gurna and asks about Pirena. He seems pleased to hear that Pirena is pursuing Danaya and Alena.
By this time, the two princesses have abandoned the plan to go to Devas and are trying to get back to Lireo on foot. Sensing the Hathors are near, Danaya tells Alena to run ahead while she holds back their pursuers. Alena is hesitant but Danaya eventually convinces her. The Hathors appear and Danaya takes them down.
Pirena finds Danaya alone and with the point of her blade at the throat of her younger sister, asks for the earth jewel. Danaya fights back and the two duel. While the two are throwing punches at each other, Alena would meet Cassiopeia on the way to Lireo. Cassiopeia greets her and asks if she wants the future told. Alena would find out that she must first give gold to Cassiopeia before she hears anything. Having received her payment, Cassiopeia tells Alena that Danaya will soon leave this world. Interpreting this as Danaya's death, Alena rushes back to her sister. Danaya on the other hand, is losing the duel with Pirena, and turns herself into a plant the moment Pirena lost sight of her. A frustrated Pirena leaves and when Alena reaches the place, she only sees her sister's arnis lying on the ground. Alena fears that Danaya is dead.
In the world beyond Asnamon, Muyak overhears some of the maids talking about encantos, catching her interest. One of the maids say that encantos may be found in the mountains, not in the city. Muyak wonders if this is true, since she has not seen anyone like her in years. She heads for the mountains to find out.
Mila gets a visit from her friend Banjo and is delighted when he gives her a present. Anthony says something unpleasant, so Banjo leaves. Anthony then reminds Mila that she should be working. Anthony goes to another room, tells his friend what happened, and gets ribbed for being jealous. Banjo takes a walk in the park and tells his friend Gigi about how he wants to punch Anthony in the face. Mila goes back to her room and is surprised to find Lira sitting there, waiting for her. Lira had little trouble persuading Mila to show her around since Mila is upset enough with Anthony to skip work.
Mila would take Lira to the park. Lira sees a kissing couple and had to be told that they are not fighting. As before, Lira is fascinated with everything, and before long, Mila realizes that Lira has left her side. As Mila was looking for Lira, Anthony, who was actually driving around to look for her, sees her and asks what she is doing outside the house instead of working. Mila gives up her search for Lira and goes back with Anthony. In the car, Anthony surprises Mila by telling her that he'll be taking her to a party that night.
In Encantadia, Amihan and Ybrahim are talking beside the waterfall when Hitano and his band of Hathors attack. Hitano aims his crossbow at Amihan but Ybrahim catches the arrow before it could reach its target. Hitano and his men flee when the queen's guards pursue them. Ybrahim falls down and Amihan realizes the arrow wounded his hand and has poison. Ybrahim is carried to Lireo to be healed.
The first thing Lira hears upon returning to Lireo is that her father is in her mother's room and is mortally ill. She goes there and learns from her mother what happened. Amihan asks Imaw if Ybrahim could be saved. The Adamyan replied by saying that there is no known antidote to the poison used, and they could only hope that Ybrahim's body is strong enough to fight it.
The rain pours heavily outside and Alena is still wondering what happened to her younger sister. She gets her answer when a flowering plant transforms into Danaya. While the two sisters are happy to see each other alive and well, Pirena is back in Lireo and worrying how the return of Alena and Danaya will upset her plans.
Worried about her father's condition, Lira felt she needed to talk to a friend and thinks automatically of Mila. Once more, she would step through the portal. She appears in the maids' room just as Mila steps out of the bathroom. Lira tells Mila about her father, but stops talking when Mila grimaces in pain. Lira asks what's wrong and Mila says her birthmark just hurt. The ever curious Lira asks to see the birthmark.
