Story Recap: What Happened in Episode 1?

The second season picks up directly from the dramatic Season 1 finale, where Keifer confessed his love to Jay-Jay at her engagement party to Yuri. Episode 1, titled “Welcome Back to Section E,” showed the students returning to school after the holidays.

The tension between Keifer (Andres Muhlach) and Yuri (Rabin Angeles) was immediate, with both boys vying for Jay-Jay’s (Ashtine Olviga) attention. A conflict with another student, Aries, led to a physical fight involving Keifer. The episode’s drama escalated when Jay-Jay and a friend were involved in a serious incident, resulting in a hospital visit that brought the whole of Section E together. The episode ended with Yuri declaring he would not give up on Jay-Jay, to which Keifer defiantly replied, “Game on!”.

New Characters and Darker Plotlines

This season introduces several new characters who bring fresh conflict and danger to the story. Their arrival signals a shift to more serious themes, as suggested by the season’s title, The Dark Side.

Key new additions include:

Kaizer Watson, played by Joko Diaz, is Keifer’s powerful and authoritative father.
Ryosuke Sato, played by Taneo, is connected to a dangerous organization and aims to bring down Keifer and Yuri.
Jason, played by Austin Dizon, is a gang-leader type who arrives to stir up chaos.
Honey Bee Ryder, played by Rhen Escaño, is a confident new secretary who could disrupt existing relationships.

These characters will push the core trio into dealing with family secrets, past trauma, and external threats that are far more dangerous than typical school drama.

What to Expect in Episode 2

The fallout from the hospital incident and the declared rivalry between Keifer and Yuri will drive the immediate story. Jay-Jay is expected to struggle with guilt over her feelings for Keifer while still being tied to Yuri, which may force her to create distance from the boy she truly likes.

The episode will likely continue to explore the new, more dangerous world the characters are entering. As one preview suggested, “The Ghost of the past will haunt the present,” indicating that hidden truths and old secrets will start to surface. Fans can expect the bonds of friendship in Section E to be tested as these external pressures mount.

Full Release Schedule for Part 1

The second season is divided into two parts. Part 1 consists of nine episodes releasing weekly every Friday. The current release schedule is as follows:
