The teens woke up to sounds of cars driving past followed by the intro of the Tokyo Drift theme. In a few minutes, they were dancing and revved up to find out what was in store for them. Nikki and Nan both guessed that it had something to do with driving, and Nan roused Ejay’s interest by telling him about go-carts, a new concept to the Promdi Hottie. True enough, the teens found their house covered by roads and traffic signs, complete with a working traffic light. Robi and Nan were tasked to be the first traffic enforcers, and clad in blue uniforms, they managed the human traffic with a smile and a dance. For their weekly task, everyone was supposed to pass their written and practical exams, a preparation for the time they finally apply for their license. They better do well, since they bet 100% of their allowance on it!
The teens then headed to the activity area, where they were surprised with the sudden mini race-track, and a car running circles around it. But what really had them running was the fact that Gaby dela Merced, former housemate and driver extraordinaire, would be their driving instructor. Very patient and encouraging, Gaby made each teen feel at ease. The teens were shown the proper sitting position and the mirrors and the proper way of driving a manual. Gaby reported them to be open-minded and fast learners. In the house, though, the boys still couldn’t get over Gaby’s prowess at driving… and how her hair flowed as she was drifting. Hmm.
The teens had another game and each was given a special gift, some more personal than others. Alex got a soccer ball, Beauty got an entire chocolate cake, and Nikki got a dress. Nan and Robi had moments with their siblings, and both were very happy. Robi’s bro, Maro, reminded his kuya that he was proud of him and missed him. Same was true for Nan’s two sisters. Ejay got the coveted 100 seconds with Mommy Josephine. So overwhelmed was he that he went to Valerie to share right after. Valerie, on the other hand, got a framed pic of her and her dad. Missing her dad has always been a touchy subject for Val, and she was in tears as she declared it to be the best gift ever.
Beauty wins another game, and her prize is a special moment with Alex, orchestrated by Kuya. Alex was supposed to make her a poem in Filipino, only he couldn’t seem to organize his thoughts, much less translate it. With Robi’s help, though, he finally finished it and had time to dress up. Robi attempted to distract the others, but they could see through him; after all, he was really bad at lying. Eventually, Alex and Beauty were in the secret room decorated to be a mini-prom, with a bouquet of flowers and candlelit settings. The Italian Valentino read his poem and they hugged a lot. When they finally went back to the house, Beauty was overwhelmed that she blurted out, “I think I’m in love,” which scared the other two girls. Asked by Kuya if she meant it, she said not, but she really appreciated the gesture. Alex’s response to Kuya was that Beauty was more than just a friend. He recalled how he’d always look for her and appease her. That evening, Beauty admits to Nikki that she feels something for Alex, but is bothered since he has a girlfriend outside, and she didn’t want to hurt anyone.
