YAU blames the owner of the stolen car for putting up with the thieves again and again. KOO CHAK-YIU, POK’s wife and SUM’s elder sister, was paralyzed in a car crash years ago. POK and SUM are astonished to hear that YIU is suffering from liver cancer. SUM used to be a problem teenager but YIU’s desperate attempt to save him touched him deeply and changed his whole life. SUM feels so sorry for YIU and wonders why fate is so cruel to her. POK cannot do anything but give him a few words of consolation. SUM discovers that the murderer has been hiding something. Immediately he goes and explains to YAU his views and analysis.… ...

There is strong evidence against SING and he has no choice but to admit what he has done. YAU’s boyfriend is in love with someone else and will be getting married overseas. YAU tries to suppress the pain of being dumped and joins a celebration party with her staff. After the gathering, she goes to a pub for a drink, where she meets SUM.

POK is very rude to TUNG, which shocks everyone around to the core. TUNG has bought YIU some herbal products but POK does not seem very grateful at all. Having noticed the problem between them, SUM goes to have a talk with POK. YIU and POK run into a long-lost friend Dr. LAM PUI-PUI at the hospital, who has recently returned from the States. A rush of mixed feelings come over them when they get face-to-face again after all these years. PUI and POK used to be an item.

YAU comes along to arrest BLACK YIU. BLACK YIU pushes TUNG, who happens to pass by, down to the ground while escaping but is captured eventually. TUNG is required to have a medical examination, during which he is diagnosed with cataract. YAU and SUM offer to send TUNG home. YAU points out that POK is not a dutiful son. SUM tells YAU about his past and reveals that the reason he participates in voluntary youth work is that he wants to fulfill YIU’s wish and dream. YIU urges POK to go and watch the drama performance with PUI on her behalf. POK points out that there is insufficient evidence to charge BLACK YIU. POK and YAU become suspicious of LUI YAU-KUEN who has come to post bail for BLACK YIU. Through close collaboration, POK and YAU finally manage to track down the real culprit. SUM pays TUNG a visit, where he bumps into YAU. The three of them then decide to visit YIU together.… ...

TUNG and PUI are deeply saddened by the death of YIU although they believe that this is somewhat a way out for POK. Madam YUK, who looked after YIU in the hospital when she was still alive, gets poisoned and falls unconscious after taking a bite of the cake given by YIU. SUM is shocked to find some cantharidin (a poisonous chemical compound used in Traditional Chinese Medicine) in the cake. Laboratory test results show that YIU was poisoned continuously for a certain period of time, which makes SUM believe that POK may have something to do with YIU’s death. YAU suspects that POK and PUI have rekindled their relationship. She becomes even more suspicious when she spots PUI burning the letter from POK. Given all the circumstantial evidence, she decides to hold POK and PUI for questioning. TING believes that POK and PUI are innocent. To prove PUI’s innocence, POK needs TING to find out where her sister has gone over these days.… ...
