"You've got what you wanted, maybe you'll stop now?" Brian asked Carmella.
"Yes, as long as I'm with you." Carmella said, hinawakan ni Carmella ang muka ni Brian pero agad itong inalis ni Brian.
Brian saw Ellaine's face through the airplane window to hurt her, but he needed to endure his feelings for her. For now, Brian let the plane leave before speaking again, "They're gone, you can come out." he shouted. Carmella wondered who he was talking to.
"Bri...an..?" Carmella uttered in confusion. Suddenly, Joana appeared with the press and the police, who swiftly placed handcuffs on her.
"What are you doing? You might be mistaken, I will sue you for what you're doing," she shouted as the police handcuffed her, while she saw Brian removing a small microphone. It was as small as a button so it went unnoticed. This was what connected Brian and Joana to carry out their plan without anything bad happening to Ellaine and Gabriella.
"Now the whole world will know that you are not innocent as they thought," saad ni Joana.
"You're under arrest for the murder of Hannah Blytheville and Dagger Blytheville and the crime of adultery." The officer's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you."
"Ms. Carmella, is it true that you orchestrated the accident? Is it also true that you attempted to harm your own child, Fyorie?" the reporter inquired. Carmella remained silent on the matter and was promptly escorted into the police vehicle.

"Did their plane depart earlier?" Joana inquired as they rode in the vehicle towards the police station, where Carmella was set to disclose everything they both had uncovered.
"Yes, and..uh.. t-thank you for your help," Brian expressed his gratitude to Joana.
"No, thank you for doing this. I know you and Ellaine deserve to be happy, and my child deserves justice, and in some way, even Dagger deserves it despite what he did to me. I acknowledge my shortcomings, which is why he was able to do what he did. I'm doing this for my late husband and daughter, who died in an orchestrated accident by Carmella," Joana solemnly stated, her voice laden with sadness.
"Don't be sad," Brian held Joana's hand before continuing, "I know that wherever Dagger is now, he regrets his mistakes, just like me. We regret ever meeting Carmella because of her, Dagger's life was ruined, and the same goes for me."

~Flashback~
"What did you say!?" Galit na tanong ni Joana kay Keighley at Brian.
"Yes, Joana. It's Carmella who really planned the accident. Not because a car suddenly appeared or any other reason. But it was really her plan. The car seen in other caught CCTV footage was her accomplice, and I also proved that she planned to kill even her own child." Joana was shocked by the revelation she learned from Keighley.
"A-are you sure? How could she do that when she's in the car? She's not crazy to endanger herself. And what would she gain if she killed my child, Dagger, and her own child?" Pagtataka ni Joana.
"Carmella thought that Dagger was Fyorie's real father. Dagger and Carmella met in 2019, the same year Brian and Carmella met, and a year later Brian and Carmella got married. In 2020, their secret relationship began. Carmella believed that Fyorie was their child with Dagger, and Dagger also thought the same before he passed away. Both of them didn't know that Fyorie was actually Brian's child, so Carmella had the body we thought was Fyorie's, She did DNA tested again when Brian left because she was wondering why the DNA from the body we thought was Fyorie matched Brian. She then investigated further and discovered that the DNA results were faked by someone else. She was also surprised to find out that the real Fyorie was Brian's child when she investigated further." Paliwanag ni Keighley.
"Wait a minute! Why did she need to kill Dagger and my child along with Fyorie? And she's there, why? W-why would she do such a thing?" Joana asked again with extreme anger in her tone.
"Because of the inheritance, the wealth she acquired came from Dagger's inheritance. This means that all the payments she made to the lawyer and investigator against us were from your husband's wealth, Joana." Keighley said. Habang direktang naka tingin kay Joana, na ngayom ay hindi mapigilan ang pag patak ng luha mula sa kanyang mga mata dahil sa galit.
"Dagger's lawyer did not mention any inheritance left for Carmella." diin ni Joana.
"Your husband requested his lawyer not to disclose anything to you or even to his parents about this, including the inheritance left for Fyorie, because he wanted to take the secrets about his relationship with Carmella to his grave. He didn't want you or your two children to be hurt. You know, in all honesty, he thought about you and your children in some way," Keighley Explained.
"Keighley. If she's the one who did that, why is she full of wounds almost to the point of death? Is she crazy? To put her own life at risk just to kill Dagger and my child, including her own flesh and blood?" Joana wondered.
"Just like what I said, she planned everything perfectly. She's so intelligent because even before Joana could outsmart her, she took some CCTV footage and from the beginning, she knew that Ellaine took Fyorie. It was clear to her eyes that a Salvador took her child. She planned everything because she knew that someday if she needed leverage, Carmella would just have to find Ellaine and her child to use them against Brian. Aren't you wondering why Carmella quickly found Fyorie? It's because she knew from the start where her child was. If Carmella truly wanted to be with Fyorie, do you think she would allow her child, Fyorie, to be given to Ellaine in exchange for Brian?" Keighley added. Keighley was too smart to be fooled by Carmella.
"The few CCTV footages left by Carmella only serve to confuse our minds if she really wanted Fyorie or if Brian was her only target. If we look at the CCTV footage left, we only see Carmella getting into a car outside the Blytheville company with Fyorie, and then the next scene is her getting out of the car, wounded and bloody, and the scene fades because her child died. What surprises me is that my brother, who is a doctor, said that considering the severity of her wounds, it's impossible for her to survive, especially since he mentioned that glass shards entered her skin. After the accident, she was able to walk as if she was just limping. If glass shards had entered her skin, she wouldn't be able to walk properly, and she definitely wouldn't be able to act that way. Because of pain, but she is not." Keighley explained.
"How did you find out all of this?" Brian asked.
"Because of detective Vladimir," sagot ni Keighley na ikinagulat ni Joana at Brian.
Nang biglang lumitaw ito sa may likuran ni Brian.
"I'm here to help,"
"Help? How can we be sure that the help you're offering is genuine and not a trap for us?" Joana expressed her doubts.
"Because my conscience can't bear to let Carmella kill her own child,"
"W-what?!! C-Carmella is going to kill Fyorie!?" Brian asked.
"Carmella has already planned this. She will first reassure Brian and then she will kill Ellaine and Fyorie because she can't accept that Brian loves Ellaine more than her, even though they have child together. So even if Brian goes with Carmella, her plan will not change. Also, you can't use her and matteo mayer's sex video against her, because only Matteo Mayer will be affected, you can't involve other people. She will never regret, she will never regret pretending, she will still kill her child and Ms. Salvador."Paliwanag naman ni Vladimir.
"But what she didn't expect after four years is that the woman she allowed to be with her child is the woman Dr. Brian Tan has loved for a very long time," Vladimir added.
"Brian, you can't proceed with your plan. I have a new plan in mind. We need to change the initial plan," Keighley said with a serious tone.
