In the episode, Padilla's character Carmen visits lead character Cardo (Coco Martin) in his sleep. She is crying and in pain and begs Cardo to help her and her husband, Ador.

Before this, the last time viewers saw Carmen was in April when she was gunned down by a criminal group after she discovered their activities.
