A year and a half after the fallout between veteran senators and, unbeknowest to their colleagues, ex-lovers Loren Legarda and Pia Cayetano during the end of the 16th Congress, the two esteemed lawmakers crossed paths once more after spending time in separate chambers of Congress when they were forced to work with each other when they were both part of the Bicameral Conference Committee responsible for passing the national budget. How could two strong-willed and very stubborn personalities learn how to trust each other again? Would they be able to rebuild their relationship enough to be able to work together? Would things go back to what they were in the past?

An unexpected change of dynamics in the Senate has turned things upside down for four of its republics. Will power prevail over principles? Who will win between love and ambition? What does all these mean for the relationships they built over the past years?

In the first of a series of spin-offs to Talk First, Think Later, Pia and Loren, whose relationship status still remains in limbo, find themselves on two different paths after the Great Senate Feud of 2025. On one path, there's Pia, thrust into the gargantuan task of being part of the new Senate leadership in one of the most polarizing administrations. On the other, there's Loren, who just ended her 27-year Senate career and jettisoned to London on short notice after her so-called "allies" dropped the ball on her in the hopes of fixing herself and her family out of the public eye. How long can Pia hold on to every hope before the dam breaks? Will Loren keep her promises, or will she bail once more?

Neophyte senator Leni found a natural rapport with the infamous Seatmates bloc in the Senate - a monumental feat for the former Vice President and opposition leader. She also wanted a way to get herself on their good side, while raising a bit of money for Angat Buhay at the same time. An unexpected glimpse of the true extent of the personal relationship between the two most senior Senators in the 20th Congress gave her an idea: start a pool of money and have the other senators throw some in the pot until they finally admit their relationship. Can Leni pull off the stunt and bond with her colleagues in the process? When will Pia and Loren admit their relationship and much money will Leni make in the end? Most importantly, how can she make Risa, queen of FOMO, understand that there's a reason she's banned from joining the festivities?
