Episode 6 - The Triumph: Bitterness and anger well up in Ruby as she tries to move on with her life. Can she overcome this and truly heal?

We open with Ruby’s dream. She is walking in a lush green field where she feels safe and free.

The dream echoes Psalm 23 and comes after Ruby and her social worker at the DSWD pray about Ruby moving to a new safe house in the country.

It is here, at the new house,  that Ruby gradually recovers from her trauma and reclaims her life.

Change isn’t instant or easy, but it  is powerful. 

She also makes a very important decision that will change not only her own life but those of her perpetrators, Nadine and Pedro, dramatically.

This episode sees Ruby making progress in healing in ways you might not expect. Her last actions in this episode will stay with you forever.

Issues this episode explores:

  • The complex nature of trauma 
  • The concept of restorative justice
  • Paths to rehabilitation and healing
