Ria Atayde becomes enslaved by her own paranoia and delusions in her marriage and turns to a witch doctor for help in this Saturday’s episode of (April 6) “Ipaglaban Mo.”

Former village beauty queen Lily (Ria), begins to take less care of her appearance when she marries Gimo (Vin Abrenica) and becomes a mother of two. But her insecurities grows when Gimo starts to work late at night, text secretively, and put a lock on his mobile phone. Wary that her husband might leave her for someone else, she gives in to her friend Aya’s prodding (Dona Cariaga) to consult a witch doctor to find out if Gimo was having an affair.

Despite her mother Roma’s (Olive Isidro) protests, Lily decides to consult a famous “albularyo,” Pedring (John Arcilla). But the sweet-talking Pedring takes a liking to Lily , manipulates her, and convinces her that Gimo was indeed cheating on her.

He then instructs her to go to a cave where they would conduct a ritual, and make a love potion to win back her husband.

During the ritual, Lily is drugged by Pedring, who begins to force himself on her in the guise of “curing” her broken heart to save her marriage. When she passes out, Pedring proceeds to rape her.

When Lily regains consciousness, she rushes to Gimo to tell him what happened. They go to the authorities to report the heinous crime. Gimo seeks revenge and, in a fit of rage, goes after Pedring.

Will the court favor Lily, who was lured and hypnotized by the beguiling Pedring? Will Lily and Gimo find back their dignity for their family?
