The latest episode, which released on January 15, 2026, is full of emotional confessions, revealing secrets, and a painful misunderstanding that leaves everyone hurt. The focus is on Ella finally telling Yuri the truth and the disastrous moment when Keifer sees Jay-Jay with Yuri.
Episode 7 Main Events and Story Recap
The episode picks up with Jay-Jay Mariano thinking about a recent talk with Freya by the river. In class, tensions are already high. Angelo questions Jay-Jay about why Cyrus is in the hospital. Before she can answer, Keifer Watson steps forward and admits he caused the injuries because he saw Cyrus hurting Jay-Jay.
Later, Jay-Jay and Keifer get a moment alone. She asks him directly about his past with Freya and why they are no longer close. Keifer admits he hurt Freya and reveals she used to prefer Yuri over him. This talk shows Keifer is trying to be more honest with Jay-Jay.
The class plays a game of truth or dare, which brings many secrets to light. A student asks Jay-Jay about the scar on her back. She explains she only remembers having bruises as a small child and that the wound was treated by her grandmother. The game also forces Yuri Hanamichi to admit he developed feelings for Jay-Jay in her first few weeks in Section E. When another student asks when he will announce his engagement, Keifer angrily says it was only a family arrangement, not a real relationship.
“He answers that it happened within the first few weeks of her joining Section E.”
The game causes a huge fight in the classroom. One student stands up and blames Jay-Jay for all the problems in the section since she arrived. Keifer punches him for speaking to Jay-Jay that way, and the room breaks into chaos, leaving Jay-Jay in tears.
Ella Reveals Her Secret and Its Consequences
A major turning point in Episode 7 happens when Ella decides to tell Yuri everything. She finds him with Jay-Jay and Keifer.
Ella apologizes to Yuri and reveals the whole truth. She confesses that she never had feelings for Keifer. Her real love was always for Yuri Hanamichi. She explains that Yuri’s mother forced her to stay away from him. His mother threatened Ella’s family’s future in Korea if she did not cut ties. The biggest shock comes next: Ella tells Yuri that Keifer already knew this secret all along.
This confession has an immediate and powerful impact. Yuri becomes furious with Keifer for keeping this important information from him. Feeling betrayed by his close friend, Yuri walks away from the group, overwhelmed and sick. Jay-Jay follows him to check if he is okay. Meanwhile, Aries tries to attack Yuri in anger over the situation, but Keifer stops him.
The Heartbreaking Misunderstanding Between Jay-Jay, Yuri, and Keifer
After Ella’s confession, Yuri is very upset. Jay-Jay follows him and stays to comfort him. He opens up to her about his family struggles, explaining that the powerful Hanamitichi business group rejected his mother because she is half-Filipino and not from a rich family. This moment of vulnerability brings them closer.
The scene then shifts to the next morning. Jay-Jay and Yuri wake up together. Yuri gives her a soft hug. At this exact moment, Keifer Watson arrives. He sees them together and is completely heartbroken.
Keifer tells Jay-Jay he searched for her the entire night because he was worried. He says he will pretend he saw nothing, then walks away crying. Jay-Jay is left frozen, unsure of what to do or say, as the episode ends.
“Keifer walks away, crying, saying he will pretend he saw nothing. Jay-Jay stands frozen, unsure how to move forward with any of this…”
This misunderstanding creates a new crisis. Keifer feels betrayed after seeing the person he loves with his rival. Yuri is hurt and angry at Keifer for hiding Ella’s secret. Jay-Jay is trapped in the middle of their conflict, caring for both but hurting them both.
