Atty. Sarabia informs the Tampipis that the judge handling Chito's case has an apparent favoring of the prosecution. To make matters worse, Bright Star City's higher-ups find the need to replace Chito as their carnival's operations manager. While Betchay turns to Jaime for help, Pedro blames Joaquin for the Tampipis' suffering. In his anger, Joaquin punches a tree. When Jaime sees Joaquin's bloody knuckles, he brings his son to the doctor. Much to Jaime and the doctor's surprise, Joaquin claims not feeling any pain at all.
