Megumi's classmate Gino Bautista has a large online following, and he proposes that Vilma collaborate with him on a livestream show. She hesitates, then agrees.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Rhys Miguel was originally cast to portray Gino in Love at First Stream, but he backed out for personal reasons and was replaced by Lisbo.
- Principal photography on Love at First Stream, which began no earlier than July 2021, was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic: shifting local government pandemic protocols and false-positive COVID-19 cases among the production team disrupted filming, and October rain made day scenes hard to capture.
