Hex episode 'to, guys! Jak Roberto's techie finally met someone who can keep up with him, and the team's mission got a little awkward because of a call from the new boss.
Who did Hex go up against?
The case that started with fake beauty products is now pointing at a syndicate, and that syndicate has its own tech people. According to GMA's full episode description, their tech expert made it nearly impossible for Hex, played by Jak Roberto, to locate the operation. GMA's Part 2 clip describes it as Hex's skills going head to head with the syndicate's own tech experts. The pressure was real, since the team needed that location in time for the upcoming raid.
Who was the familiar face Hex saw?
Early in the episode, a familiar face caught Hex's attention again. GMA's Part 1 clip teases this but does not say who the person is or how they are connected to Hex's life, so we are keeping that mystery for now. Abangan na lang natin kung sino siya.
Why did Team Firewall get sidelined?
Here is the twist that stung. Martin, played by Luis Hontiveros, decided that the Major Crimes team would take the lead on the mission. That left Team Firewall on the sidelines of a case they had been working on themselves. After last episode, where Martin brought in Major Crimes just to help on a raid, this move feels like a bigger shift in how he runs things as chief.
Did the raid work?
GMA has also scheduled more clips from Episode 89, and their titles hint that the raid ended in failure, that tensions kept rising inside Team Firewall, and that there was good news for Duke's operations. Those clips were not yet public when we wrote this, so we are only going by their titles here.
Why does this episode matter?
Hex finally has a real rival on the tech side, and Martin's leadership is starting to split the team. Kung Major Crimes na ang bida sa mga misyon, saan na lulugar ang Firewall? That question is going to hang over the next few episodes.
Tama ba ang desisyon ni Martin na ibigay sa Major Crimes ang misyon? Share your take in the comments!
