B&B: The Story of the Battle of Brody & Brandy

We see a busy day at “Brandy’s B&B”. We meet Brandy Zulueta and her cousin Ayni attending to their happy guests. A new guest arrives and Brandy instantly gets smitten by Brody Nudya. They get to know each other and Brandy enjoys Brody’s disarming presence and keen interest in Brady’s work. She excitedly shares all that is to know about the B&B business. Brody’s stay soon ends but he promises to return. Brandy is hopeful that this was a beginning of something special.

Brandy and Ayni notice the hub of activity from the closed B&B across the street. The curious Ayni investigates and snoops around the place and is confronted by a very stoned Paco, the caretaker. There is immediate animosity between Ayni and Paco especially after she realizes that they now have a direct competitor in the area. Brody returns as promised. But before Brandy can rejoice, Brody reveals that he owns “Burgundy House” across the street. Brady slowly figures out that Brody conned her for information about her business. This means war. The victorious Brody tells the fuming Brandy that all is fair in love and business. Brandy points out that there is nothing fair on what Brody did. She declares war on Brody and tells him that there will be no peace between the two B&B’s.

Cops are investigating the Burgundy House as a response to an anonymous report that Brody’s B&B is a shabu den. No drugs was found but Brody and Paco know Brandy was behind the anonymous call. To retaliate, Paco attempts several pranks but these just backfire on him. Before things could get worse between the two B&Bs, Brody calls for a ceasefire with Brandy. He invites her for a “peace talk” dinner. Relunctantly Brandy accepts the invitation. After a sumptuous dinner she is introduced to Morgan, the new chef in residence at Burgundy House. It was Brandy’s turn to return the favor and invites Brody over for “peace talk” lunch. Brody feeling superior, accepts. When Brody thinks he has gotten one over Brandy, enter Sammy, in all his hunkiness. Brandy introduces him as his “kababata” from Bacolod and is now employed as the all around fix it guy at her B&B. The connection between the childhood friends is blatantly obvious to a very jealous Manila Boy. Brandy… set match.

Brandy, Brody, Morgan, Sammy, Paco and Ayni spend dinner together and end up eating Morgan’s spiked chocolate chip cookies. In their high state, we discover that Brandy has had relationships in the past with a few men, but all resulted in failure.We also get to learn that Brody wasn’t always the jaded, insensitive kind of guy. He was the textbook definition of a cool playboy in his younger years.

Brandy and Brody are starting to have feelings for each other and everyone around them can see this – except for Brandy and Brody, who keep on denying their evident love for each other. Brandy is all set on forgetting about Brody but Morgan reveals that there is nothing going on between them. Morgan even reveals to Brandy that Brody is also hung up on her. To add to Brandy’s confusion, Sammy finally musters courage to profess his long unrequited love for her. Meanwhile, Paco and Ayni start to develop feelings for each other, too. Paco seeks Brody’s help in wooing Ayni and Paco’s romantic plan accidentally results to a fire in Brandy’s B&B.
