Back at home, Andy's mother's condition worsens, casting a somber shadow on the bungalow. Louis's luck continues to fade and bankruptcy looms, forcing him to move in with Andy. The family is stretched thin as bad times collide.

A devious mahjong player, Sean, drags Louis deeper into debt, conning him of money and clothes. Minor players begin to show care for Louis amid the chaos. The underground world of mahjong grows more dangerous.

Disappointed by Andy's refusal to marry, Gigi slips back into Sean's con men. She becomes entangled in the trap he has laid for her, raising the stakes for Andy. He resolves to shield her from the dangerous path.
