Hong Kong. Corinna arranges to host Kitty for lunch at her house at Shek O, a peninsula on the southern coast of Hong Kong. Kitty immediately wants a house there, and Corinna explains that the homes have been held in families for generations; home ownership there is like membership in the most exclusive club in Hong Kong. Corinna has invited Ada Poon and Fiona Tung-Cheng to lunch to try to make up for the debacle at Stratosphere church. Kitty renders a tearful apology to Ava Poon for intruding on her husband’s speech. The question of Bernard arises again, and after the other women leave, Corinna tells Kitty she really needs to reveal what happened to Bernard. Kitty says Corinna must come with her to Los Angeles.
Singapore. Returning from Paris, Astrid spots a magazine with a picture of Michael and Cassian on the cover. As she reads the article about “Father of the Year: Michael Teo,” she is mortified at what Michael has revealed about their lives. The article goes in depth into her own background, which her parents have always tried to keep out of the press. Astrid confronts Michael, who is proud of the article and says his new publicist arranged it.
