Episode 6 of Ang Mutya ng Section E Book 2: The Dark Side is scheduled for release on Friday, January 9, 2026, on the Viva One streaming platform. The new episode arrives exactly one week after the intense events of Episode 5 and will take the characters on a school camping trip that stirs up trouble from the past. This installment marks the continuation of the series’ first part, which is building toward its conclusion later in the month.
What Happened in Episode 5? A Story Recap
The previous episode, titled “The Dinner,” focused on Jay-Jay trying to officially end her engagement to Yuri. Despite her clear confession that she loves Keifer, Yuri refused to call off the wedding. He told Jay-Jay she could continue her relationship with Keifer, but in the end, he would be the one to marry her.
The situation grew more strained during a dinner with Yuri’s parents, where Jay-Jay learned the wedding is planned for her own birthday. At school, Keifer openly showed his affection for Jay-Jay, but this created a divide in Section E, with some boys siding with Yuri. A new character, Honey Bee Ryder, appeared and flirted with Keifer, leading to a physical fight with Jay-Jay in the bathroom.
The episode ended with a cliffhanger: Jay-Jay was asked to get her school records signed by an advisor from her old school, making her visibly nervous. Andrés Muhlach portrays Keifer, and Rabin Angeles plays Yuri, with Ashtine Olviga starring as Jay-Jay.
