THE BETTER HALF Episode 23



We started with Camille telling Marco that she would not be able to tell him what happened between them because it would bring back all the pain she felt when Marco deceived her. He asked Marco to go and he left.

Before Marco left the building, he ran into Sheryl and she told him that she used to know him from before since she was Camille’s classmate. Marco said he did not remember her and Sheryl said that she had to go prepare for her next class.
Camille was looking for Sheryl and she found her crying in her classroom. She asked if Sheryl was fine and she said it was nothing. Camille told Sheryl that she was trying to do all she can so that Sheryl would not have to resign. She asked Rafael to hire Sheryl’s husband and offered Sheryl a higher position at school but Sheryl refused the offer. Camille wanted Sheryl to tell her what her problem was so that she could help but Sheryl only cried and refused to say anything.
The mayor learnt from her secretary that Marco had already filed for a declaration of reappearance and since she wanted to have a scandal surrounding Rafael, she called a newspaper columnist to tell her about the  story.
When Camille got home, she and her husband started parking and Sheryl told her parents that they were moving to the province because she did not like it in Manila any more after what happened to her husband. Later that evening, she decided to take the documents proving her transaction with Bianca and left to go see Camille.
Bianca learnt that Sheryl had talked to Marco at school so she asked Aris to follow her and scare her so that she would not reveal anything.
When Sheryl left the house, she called Camille to tell her that she was on the way to her house. Camille said that she would get someone to pick her up once they got to their subdivision. Aris was already trailing Sheryl and she texted Bianca to tell her that Sheryl was on her way to see Camille. Bianca told him to follow her.
Sheryl took a jeepney and when she arrived at Camille’s she texted to say that she was five minutes away. Camille called Rafael and asked him to pick Sheryl up on his way home.
Sheryl was stopped by a masked man who pointed a knife at her and since Sheryl thought she was getting robbed, she asked him to take her bag and her phone. She retained the document folder but the man fought to get it from her. As they struggled with the folder, Sheryl pulled the man’s mask and Aris became alarmed so he stabbed her. Sheryl collapsed on the ground and Aris ran off.
Some documents fell on the ground and some of them were Marco’s pictures. Sheryl crawled to get them and became unconscious the moment she grabbed the photos.
Passers by went to help Sheryl after they saw her in the middle of the road. Rafael was driving by when he saw them and went to see what was happening. He found that it was Sheryl and carried her to his car to drive her to the hospital. When he laid Sheryl on the back seat, she called out Marco’s name and Rafael noticed the photos. He took them from her hand and put them in the pocket then drove her to the hospital.
As Sheryl got treated, Rafael called Camille to tell her what happened and she was devastated when she got to the hospital. They called Sheryl’s husband and as soon as he arrived, Sheryl was pronounced dead because the knife had hit a vital organ and she lost a lot of blood.
Aris took the documents to Bianca and told her that he stabbed Sheryl but he was sure that the wound was not serious. Bianca took the folder from him and told him to leave.
Camille was devastated and blamed herself for Sheryl’s death as she said that she should have asked Sheryl not to visit her.
In the morning, Bianca took Julia to school and learnt that Sheryl had passed away after getting robbed. She went to the bathroom to cry since she did not want it to happen but then said that Sheryl should have listened to her.
Helen and Luicito visited Rafael and Camille the following day offering their sympathies but for an entirely different reason. The story of Marco’s marriage to Camille was on the news papers and Helen wanted them to handle the mater before their name got ruined. Camille told Helen that she was mourning her friend’s death and she did not have the time to deal with reporters. Luicito and Rafael agreed not to have any press conference because it would only give people something more to talk about.
As Bianca was leaving Julia’s school, Clarita called her and told her about the article. She asked that Bianca get Julia from school before people started to talk about them.
Reporters visited Marco’s furniture shop and wanted to interview him about the article but he refused to speak to them and left to go home.
Bianca shred the documents from Sheryl’s folder and told Aris that Sheryl had died. Aris was devastated since he never killed anyone before but Bianca paid him and asked him not to worry about it.
Sheryl got the CCTV footage from the night of Sheryl’s accident but he was not able to make out much because it was dark. He got the photos he had taken from Sheryl and asked someone to help him look for the address that was written on them. That was where we ended…
