The story so far: Consuelo has escaped her snake pod thingy and is wandering around like a zombie, her memory spotty. The entire town of San Martin has totally turned against Darna. Narda considers hanging up her Bikini of Power if things are going to be that way. Tree Woman has been killing illegal loggers because she needs their blood to bear fruit. While cleaning up, Watson finds the old video camera he had with him the night he and Eduardo were attacked in the woods (by snake-haired Valentina). Much to my displeasure, Francesca is back. Now I have two annoying women to hate. And why are they getting so much air time?
Valentina is caught roughing up little Serpina. The girl tries to warn everyone that Valentina is evil. Narda comes to the girl's defense while Eduardo sticks up for Valeninta. Valentina tries to deflect attention onto Narda not doing a good job raising these orphans. Gabriel (who has totally forgotten his mission of finding Roma's missing baby) comes to Narda's defense. Sensing this muscular douchebag is stepping into his territory, Eduardo begins to have fisticuffs with Gabriel. During the skirmish Narda is knocked down. Eduardo comes to her aide but she shrinks away and orders him to leave the orphanage.
Later (I'm assuming it is later) Watson helps a drunk (?) Eduardo to bed. Before he passes out, Eduardo sees the video camera on his night stand and he sees if the video in the camera still plays. He sees the image of Valentina with her snake hair. Shaken, Eduardo gets a gun out and sneaks into Valentina's room. She's napping on her bed. He reaches out and pulls off her wig revealing that yep, she's got snakes. Valentina wakes up to find Eduardo pointing his gun at her.
She swears she would never hurt him. Eduardo orders her out of the house, firing into the ceiling to prove he means business. A frightened Valentina runs away only to find herself trapped outside on a balcony with nowhere to go. Eduardo, angry that she had killed his friends, shoots at Valentina. She falls over the side of the balcony but I guess it wasn't a long way down as she gets up and runs for her life down the driveway, Eduardo continuously firing at her.
Wow, I honestly didn't expect this. Especially from Eduardo.
While Narda is in her bed asleep, Serpina creeps into the room. Earlier that day she saw Narda hide the magic stone in the drawer of the night stand and she's come to steal it. Luckily Narda wakes up before the girl can get her hands on the stone.
Eduardo catches up to Valentina and is about to shoot her again when his father, mad scientist Dr. Morgan, drives up. This interruption allows Valentina to escape. Eduardo shows the video tape to his father. He wants to go back out and hunt her down but Dr. Morgan talks Eduardo into doing and saying nothing for now.
Valentina makes it into the forest, her arm bleeding from where she was grazed by a bullet. Nearby, Tree Woman is like, "Mmm, fresh blood!" and sends out her... tentacles? roots? towards an oblivious Valentina. Suddenly a couple of hookers show up. (Really? Do Filipino call girls often work their beats in the middle of the forest?) Valentina runs off to hide from the women. Um, they are women, right? The short one I'm starting to question. Anyway, Tree Woman kills the two hookers instead.
I still want to know if the short one was really a transvestite.
Dr. Morgan is like a kid on Christmas Day. Valentina is a new monster for him to study.
Valentina (stopping long enough to find a rag to cover her snake hair) seeks help from that wild-haired shamaness, Delia.
The next day Serpina again tries her hand at stealing the magic stone. This time she is successful.
Now that Eduardo and Valentina have broken up (after he's shot at her and everything), Eduardo seeks to rebuild his relationship with Narda. Narda doesn't exactly jump back into the fire with him. It is up to big mouth Watson to tell her the truth about how Eduardo agreed to be with Valentina only so she would heal Narda after she was bitten by the poisonous snake.
For the second time Alicia thinks she's spotted her old frenemy, Consuelo.
Eduardo comes to the orphanage with bunches of flowers and balloons as well as an annoying Watson spritzing him. Narda declares she can never love Eduardo and sends him on his way. Heartbroken, Eduardo plans to leave the country.
