This is the scary part. Episode 65 showed just how much hold Duke has over Sunshine.
Has Sunshine fallen for Duke?
GMA's episode description says Sunshine, played by Shayne Sava, fell deeper for Duke, played by Rodjun Cruz, moved by the kindness he once showed her, as he seemed to gain complete control over her thoughts and feelings. GMA's Part 3 clip says she became even closer to him because of how kind he was to her when she was still a captive.
Why did Duke visit Sunshine?
GMA's clip describes Duke as the syndicate leader visiting his "precious victim" to continue controlling her mind. That wording from GMA says it all. This is not a love story; it's manipulation.
How is Stella reacting?
GMA's clip says Stella, played by Ana Abad Santos, seemed very stressed about Duke because of the connection he kept building with Sunshine. Even the syndicate queen thinks her son is going too far.
How did Martin and Leila's affair start?
GMA's Part 1 clip says that while asking Isa, played by Kylie Padilla, for forgiveness, Martin, played by Luis Hontiveros, remembered how his betrayal began. The show is giving us the backstory, even if it doesn't excuse anything.
What is Jhay-Jhay working on?
GMA's Part 2 clip says Jhay-Jhay, played by Buboy Villar, teamed up with Major Crimes to help solve a series of home break-ins. The rivalry between the teams seems to be cooling down.
Why does this episode matter?
Sunshine's attachment to her captor is a painful and realistic look at what trauma can do. The danger is that she is safe physically but not emotionally. And the break-in case Jhay-Jhay is helping with might become the team's next big mission.
