Darna Episode 12

It didn't take long to get to the Evil Darna episode.

The story so far: Gabriel has learned the truth about Roma and her evil imp twin and now the hottie is a total crum bum. I'm sorely disappointed he turned on her so quickly. The imp has managed to get on Darna's back and is now working his wiles on our heroine.

Darna falls out of the sky and lands unconscious in front of the churchgoers who were just about to attend mass. Naturally the crowd gathers around her to gawk and take pictures. Only Father Mateo bothers to shoo the crowd back so he can check on Darna. Those dimwits from the paper are racing to the church to cover the story. For some reason big-boobed Francesca is dressed up in a knock-off Darna costume. I'm just waiting for her to have a wardrobe malfunction.

When Darna wakes up, the imp appears and convinces her the people don't care about her and she should attack. Eduardo and Valentina are in the crowd of onlookers and you would think Eduardo would recognize the face of the woman he claims to love, but nooooo. Carding tries to talk to Darna but the imp knocks the boy aside. Then the imp's extremely long and flexible arms whip out and grab Eduardo by the throat. This causes Valentina's snakes to start sneaking out of her wig as she leaps to defend her man (who isn't her man.) The imp lets go of Eduardo, grabs Valentina instead, and Darna flies them all over to a side yard where she can toss Valentina up against the brick wall of the church. Some cops try to shoot at Darna but the imp simply grabs their guns from their hands and fires back.

A dazed and befuddled Roma shows up at the church and that rotten Gabriel blames her for all this trouble.

The imp is trying to convince Darna to kill the unconscious Valentina when Filipino Isis appears and reminds Darna of how good she is. This brings Darna back to her senses and she tosses the imp to the ground.

As the newspaper chief, Crisanto, interviews the eyewitnesses, it becomes clear that the people have turned against Darna, thinking she's evil now. Carding quickly comes to her defense, reminding them all that he was once under the sway of the imp and did terrible things. It's not Darna's fault, it's the monster's. This gets Gabriel to thinking about Roma's situation. (It's too late, Gabriel. I hate you.)

A crying Roma runs deep into the forest. She sobs aloud how tired she is of being evil, how hard she tried to be good. She just wants to die.

Darna grabs a handy pitchfork (all churches have those, right?) and stabs the imp in the belly. Somewhere in the woods, Roma also grabs herself in sympathy pains. The imp twitches, then falls still. Darna's first kill! Roma falls unconscious to the ground in front of a large cave. Oh no! Looks like that horny Cobra Commander has found himself another girlfriend!

Dr. Morgan hears about the imp's death and quickly schemes to get a hold of the body.

Valentina has been playing the sympathy card for some time in order to get Eduardo back. Now that she came to his defense and saved his life, things are really swinging her way. Even Narda (reluctantly) urges Eduardo to be with Valentina.

To celebrate their paper being number one because of the Darna coverage, Crisanto throws an office party. He overhears Gabriel pouring out all his woes to Francesca concerning Roma being the imp's twin. He even has photographic evidence of the two together, which he gives to Francesca.

Back in his mad scientist lab, mad scientist Dr. Morgan starts to cut open the imp's body when *poof* the imp's eyes pop open. What does it take to kill this thing?

Father Mateo is praying when a delirious Roma stumbles back into the church. She has no memory of what happened to her in the cave. (Hon, I don't think you want to know what happened to you.)

Carding catches Narda transforming into Darna.
