In Bad Genius: The Series Episode 4, the students, as Possenti, sit for another exam, with Grace being the most tense one. However, Lin already made a plan to cheat by using the clock and her hand gestures.

At first, her rival Bank didn't like Lin and her friends, but now he has started to understand her and will even get involved in the cheating plan. As seen in the episode, Lin was able to help others during the exam, and just when they were about to submit their answer sheets, the teacher found a student having cheating paper.

She announces that the mid-semester exam will be held once again, this time with even stricter rules. This causes tension among students, especially Lin, who tried her best to reveal the answers without getting caught.

The episode also shows Lin visiting Bank’s house, where he finally opens up about the paper she saw, which was actually related to his family’s laundry business, not the exam. Bank explains that he kept quiet because the other students already mocked him for his background and even put their dirty clothes in his bag for him to wash.

He admits it hurts most when people involve his mom. Lin comforts him, and Bank shares that she’s the first student to treat him with real kindness. The scene subtly hints that a deeper bond might form between them, whether it's the start of a friendship or something more.

The episode ends on a disturbing note as one of Grace’s classmates blackmails her. She tries to explain that she has feelings for Pat, but the boy makes it clear he’s not after love. His intentions become unsettlingly clear when he touches the button on her shirt, hinting at something far more inappropriate.

In the next week's episode of Bad Genius: The Series, the students prepare for the exam, while Lin tells Grace that they need to look for clients. She asks Pat to find clients for their cheating plan, so that Lin can make money.

The preview also features Grace and Pat celebrating their anniversary. Grace then mentions an audition, and when Pata arrives to pick her up from the place, he learns that there was no audition in the building.

So, why was Grace lying? Did she fall into that classmate's trap? Also, Lin faces pressure as the teacher is about to arrive inside the room where she's copying answers, while Bank tries to help her out. But is he actually helping her?

Don't miss out on the next episode of this Filipino remake.
