The lady in red is gone .
Having helped Kathryn Bernardo ’ s Malia put an end to Sandrino ’ s reign of terror in La Luna Sangre , Angel Locsin ’ s Jacintha disappears without revealing who she really was .
And it looks the mystery of her identity will be left hanging until a latter episode ( at the very least ) after Locsin herself bid farewell to her role following the heartbreaking events of Tuesday ’ s episode , which left both Daniel Padilla ’ s Tristan and Sandrino dead .
And so we wave Daniel Padilla ’ s Tristan into the night .
He was stabbed dead by Angel Locsin ’ s Jacintha , who had to do what she did lest people want Tristan to complete his transformation into a rabid vampire of unrivaled strength .
On Tuesday , Richard Gutierrez ’ s Sandrino shook off both Jacintha and Kathryn Bernardo ’ s Malia during the show ’ s climactic battle to awaken Tristan ’ s dormant vampiric powers , by biting him .
Tristan bore the cursed mark , which , according to prophecy , meant that he was the strongest of all vampires --and ensuring that he rose to his potential was

part of Sandrino ’ s evil plot .
Now whether his death was a fitting end to this foolhardy character remains to be seen ( as the series has yet to conclude with hints that he may come back to life ), but no one can deny that this has been an excellent outing for Padilla .
Reckless but capable and largely skilled at combat , he cut a competent leader as he convinced Malia to end Sandrino ’ s life , despite the risk on his own . “ Tapusin na natin ito ,” he argued .
And they did , although resulting in a less than ideal outcome : Tristan lifeless ; Jacintha magically fading away having fulfilled her duty in preventing Sandrino ’ s plan ; and Malia mad .
The teaser for the next episode showed that the fantaserye will jump a few years forward , and teased the reveal that Malia ’ s job as the “ chosen one ” is far from done .
Angel took to Instagram to post her message to her fans , saying that her stint on the fantaserye
has been “ one hell of a ride .”
“ To everyone who supported the show , sending you , guys , virtual hugs and kisses of sincere pasasalamat ,” she wrote .
“ You are our source of strength during tough times . Thanks for giving us work for our families ! Jacintha signing off ,” she added . ●
