Meanwhile, Xue Ling hatches a plan to trick her mother Bee Li into signing the lease to the new office. And Norleena is driving everyone at home nuts with her indecisiveness and high expectations in her quest for the perfect wedding.

Diana sends Madam Lee, a family friend, to hospital on an emergency case and runs into the most obnoxious and arrogant doctor (or so she thinks) she has ever met – Arjun Bhaskar. More clashes in the works as Xue Ling and Wafiq, acting as CEO on Kwong San's absence, are at loggerheads over her proposed plans to rebrand KS Foods. And to ease the financial burden of the family, Salmah decides to looks for a job after much consideration, and applies for a Clinic Assistant job at Dr Bhaskar's clinic.

Meera organizes a small dinner gathering with Arjun's boss Dr Krishna and family with a couple of agendas in mind – to get Arjun into Dr Krishna's good books and match-make him with Dr Krishna's daughter Anandhi (Ann). But Meera got more than what she bargained for when Bhaskar meets his old flame Li Yan, who is catering for the dinner party, after 30 years. Meantime, Shruti's quest to get close to Pam backfires (sort of) when she outshines (unintentionally) Pam in a shoot for the Tanglin JC Recruitment video. And the duo of Michael and Eddie are on a secret mission – to sell beers at the chalet outing. But first, they must find a place to stash the contraband without alerting any of the adults.

At work, the clash between Xue Ling and Wafiq escalates when Xue Ling takes matters in her own hands and conducts a market survey with Wafiq's knowledge and approval. At home, Melissa stumbled upon the beers in Michael's room and informs Adam of her discovery. And at school, Shruti gets the ultimate sabotage when Pam and gang steal her uniform/clothes from the locker room while she was showering after a PE lesson. Bhaskar, still reeling from his encounter with Li Yan, discovers that Li Yan was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and has been in remission for a year already.

Meera pressures Arjun to go on a date with Anandhi but Anandhi mistakes Diana to be Arjun's girlfriend after witnessing Diana and Arjun having a tiff at the hospital. Arjun thinks he's got everything under control after Anandhi backs off, but finds himself having to hatch a plan after Meera wants to meet this new girlfriend Diana. Xue Ling and Adam gets into a major argument over ways of disciplining Michael after the beer-stashing incident, with Bee Li adding oil to fire by suggesting that Adam isn't doing a good job as a father. And more wedding woes for Norleena as Salmah can't agree with her ‘modern' idea of door gifts for guests, as well as her planned pre-wedding shoot.

Salmah finally relents and allows Norleena to proceed with her pre-wedding shoot but on one condition – Salmah is to tag along, much to Norleena's horror. Arjun, under Meera's constant pressure and insistence that she wants to meet his new girlfriend, has to choice but pays Diana to pretend to be that mock-up girlfriend. Cool heads prevail as Xue Ling manages to convince Wafiq to change KS Foods' design and packaging. And more feel-good moments for Xue Ling as Adam and her kiss and make up for the big fight the previous day.

Arjun sets conditions for Diana with regards to the ‘date' meeting with Meera and Bhaskar; what to wear, what to do etc, resulting in Jay thinking that this deal between them in more than just an innocent ‘girlfriend-for-hire' service. But the meeting proved to be a disaster as Meera finds out that Diana is a bogus girlfriend and Arjun tells Meera off for meddling in his life. Salmah, who thinks that she is qualified enough for the Clinic Assistant job, gets angry when she finds out that Dr Bhaskar did not call her for an interview. Shruti develops a huge crush on Ben and her dream comes true when Ben offers to teach her to bake cupcakes, while Michael starts hanging out with a shady guy and comes home with bruises and cuts on his arms and body.

The saga between Shruti and Pam continues as Pam up the ante by putting a pack of cigarettes in Shruti's school bag and reporting her to the Discipline Mistress. Salmah goes for her interview with Dr Bhaskar, and in her bid to secure the job, gives Dr Bhaskar some white lies about her previous experience in the medical/nursing profession. Norleena and Sulaiman have an argument over the cost of the wedding venue while Michael continues sneaking out of the house for his secret rendezvous.

It's Salmah's first day and work, and besides having to deal with an information overload from the long list of medication, the gossip in her has to contend with a much bigger challenge – patient confidentiality. More issues for the Rahmans as the wedding plans for Norleena takes a turn for the worst when Sulaiman calls of the wedding after an explosive exchange between Norleena and him over the dulang hantaram, the traditional gift exchange between husband and wife. Shruti, in contrast, is a picture of bliss, happiness and contentment of a girl in love when she thinks that Ben actually likes her while Meera is in distress – it's been 2 days already and Arjun is still not speaking to her. Michael's secret is blown when Eddie finds out about his secret rendezvous and hobby – breakdancing.

Li Yan discovers a lump in her breast at her old cancer site. Shocked and with no one to turn to, Li Yan finds emotional and practical support in Bhaskar. While Salmah struggles to keep up with the work in the clinic, Nadiah struggles to resolve the sister's wedding woes by seeking Sulaiman out to mediate the situation. Happiness abounds for Shruti and Meera with Shruti sharing her infatuation with Ben online and Meera succeeding in getting Arjun to move back home.

While Bhaskar spends the whole day with Li Yan at the hospital, Salmah struggles to manage the clinic. Distracted by Li Yan's medical condition and Norleena's wedding woes, Salmah gives the wrong medication to a patient unwittingly, resulting in a medical emergency. Back home, Norleena and Sulaiman receive counsel from Sulaiman's foster parents. Angered by Jay's assumption of her being an escort, Diana plays along in order to teach him a lesson.

Upon retracing her steps, Salmah discovers her mistake and confesses to Bhaskar. In a fit of rage, Bhaskar fires her when she lets slip that she had lied in her CV, but later retracts her termination after Li Yan mitigates on her behalf. Meanwhile after learning that Norleena and Sulaiman have no wedding venue, Li Yan offers TCH to them. Diana's prank on Jay backfires when her client cancels a huge contract after being reprimanded by Jay. Trouble brews for Michael when Eddie threatens to expose his breakdancing secret.

Bhaskar offers to deliver Li Yan's medical results to her after Li Yan shares her anxiety. But while relaying Li Yan's medical results, Bhaskar makes a misjudged gesture that suggests his romantic feelings for her, resulting in Li Yan backing off. Meanwhile, Michael confronts Eddie for betraying his trust after a video of him breakdancing leaked online. Fun time for Jay and Diana after they clear up their misunderstanding and engage in game of saying sorry.

After his faux pas with Li Yan, a troubled Bhaskar tries to apologize and make amends but winning back Li Yan's trust will soon prove to be an uphill battle for him. His actions also give rise to Meera's suspicions about him - will Meera find out something that she is not prepared to know? Meantime, Shruti's crush on Ben continues to deepen and to have him all to herself, she invites him to her house under the guise of a food delivery. Meanwhile, Adam is offered a job to be a martial arts instructor at a gym. However he questions if it's the right job for him.

Bee Li finds the job application forms that Adam disposed and questions him about it. When she gets no satisfying response, she rallies in Xue Ling's help to coax Adam into taking up the offer. Will the women succeed or will they push Adam off the edge with their meddling? On the other hand, the indecisive Suzanne, unable to find a job she likes, tries out working in TCH but her carefree and sloppy attitude gets a rude awakening from Zul. Also Shruti is tricked by Eddie into thinking that there will be an Ethnic Costume Contest at TCH which she takes very seriously, while Nadiah is once again pressured by Salmah to get married and settle down.

In an effort to mend the rocky relationship between Wafiq and him, Adam offers to look after Kalila but things don't go as planned when Kalila gorges on sweet kueh and has a sugar high. Meanwhile, Shruti feels embarrassed after being tricked by Eddie but she has bigger fish to fry when she sees Suzanne being close with Ben and decides to teach her a lesson. Another comment from Salmah about marriage sends Nadiah over the edge, leading into a heated fight between the sisters where things quickly become ugly. Ben is thrown into a predicament when he finally learns about Shruti's feelings for him and struggles to find a way to let her down gently. Will Shruti be able to accept the rejection?

A tipsy, maturely-dressed Shruti tries to impress Ben but ends up embarrassing herself. Ben tells her they maybe they shouldn't hang out anymore. Arjun returns home to find Shruti drunk, and demands to know what's going on. At Salmah's dinner party, Meera feels her age when she sees how stunning Rachelle is. Bhasker and Li Yan have a heart to heart talk and Bhasker makes a few confessions. Meanwhile, Salmah tries to get her daughters to make peace, without success. Diana and Arjun have another encounter, in which their opinions of each other's arrogance is reinforced.

To find out what's troubling moody Shruti, Arjun and Diana probe into Shruti's blog and find out that Shruti was out with a B. When Arjun sees a photo of Ben on Shruti's phone, he confronts Ben. Shruti is humiliated in front of Pam and the gang. Meanwhile, Salmah reminds Norleena that she has yet to buy a langkah bendul gift for Nadiah, as a goodwill gesture out of respect for the elder. As Nadiah dismisses this tradition, Norleena misunderstands and the sisters get into a fight again. Bhasker is unusually attentive to Meera, which makes her suspicious, and leads to her feeling insecure about her looks and worries that her family doesn't need her anymore.

Diana runs into Arjun. Somehow, the awkward conversation leads to a date at Arjun's medical ball. Just as they are about to leave for the ball, Arjun is paged by the hospital. He needs to check in on a patient first. Unfortunately, the patient dies. Diana sees Arjun's vulnerable side and encourages him to talk, and they go on an official date. Meanwhile Norleena tries to mend ties and asks Nadiah to join her henna party. Nadiah agrees but returns only after the party has ended, resulting in Norleena lashing out at Nadiah. Shruti's humiliation worsens as Pam and her gang taunts her because of what happened with Ben yesterday.

It's Norleena's and Sulaiman's wedding day but Nadiah is left frustrated by Salmah's constant attempt to match-make her with the single male guests. Meanwhile, Wafiq launches his own investigation into the signing of the new office lease as Xue Ling takes Bee Li on a tour of the new office and tries to convince her that a new premise for KS Foods will do the company good.

Bhaskar and Meera, shocked by the online insults being directed at Shruti, come up with an idea to soften the blow. Salmah, anxious that nothing happened on Norleena's and Sulaiman's first night, gets on their case about ‘doing it ASAP'. And as part of her plans to rebrand, Xue Ling arranged for an interview with John Scott, a leading columnist from the prestigious business trade magazine.

Salmah continues to dispense advice to Sulaiman to take the lead on the consummation of the marriage, much to Sulaiman's annoyance and embarrassment. Over at the Bhaskars, Arjun is stunned when he thinks that Diana is treating him just like a friend, and nothing more, just as Meera and Bhaskar are equally shocked to learn that Diana is Li Yan's daughter. Still on her quest to rebrand KS Foods, Xue Ling organizes a focus group meeting but the result is not quite she expected. And while she is halfway through her interview with John Scott, an unexpected visitor turns up.

Kwong San cuts his overseas trip short and makes an unexpected return to take up issues with Xue Ling over the new office, and rubs her face in further by getting a potential investor into KS Foods and telling her that she should be spending her time getting revenues in rather than focusing her energy on the new office. Adam's request for funding for his MMA School is rejected due to his lack of experience and collaterals. A concerned Li Yan gives Arjun a ‘warning' about spending too much time with Diana. Meantime, Shruti's popularity increases when she rescues Lauren from Pam's sabotage.

Despite his resistance, Diana accompanies Arjun to his dinner gathering with his high-class friends, and to her horror ends up paying equal share, even though she consciously orders the cheapest item on the menu. Li Yan is still very much against their relationship, somehow agreeing with Meera and citing the difference in their family background as the main divisive factor. Jay commiserates with Li Yan and they grow closer. Meanwhile, in the coffee house, a mysterious female voyeur emerges. Over at KS foods, Xue Ling and Wafiq are tasked by Kwong San to woo this potential investor, Peter Tay, whose arrogant and demanding style sends them into a tailspin. In the meantime, Sulaiman and Norleena's supposed sex problem becomes the gossip of the day at the coffee house, putting Salmah in the middle of the couple crossfire.

Ben is once again drawn into the love-hate affair with his unstable ex-girlfriend Vanessa whom he left 8 years ago, much to the chagrin of his family, especially a very concerned and worried Li Yan. Norleena screws up while trying to remove a stain from Sulaiman's NDP uniform, causing much grievances in the Rahman family, with Salmah coming in to mediate, and the couple realizing the occasional squabble is part and parcel of true love. Meanwhile, Meera, who is so set on tearing Arjun away from Diana, employs the latter to clean her house, much to Arjun's disapproval and Bhaskar's annoyance – what is she up too now? Adam's Mixed Martial Arts school takes off, with much help from Michael, Melissa and even Shruti, as they devise innovative ways to promote using social media.

Ben discovers more about Vanessa's harrowing past, but his savior complex compels him to help her straighten up, and she draws him in further into her lair. With continuous help from the youngsters, Adam's MMA School is looking robust, with Xue Ling giving him moral support from the side; and even Li Yan, usually apathetic towards Adam, throws in her blessing. Xue Ling's defiant handling of the arrogant potential investor Peter Tay invites harsh criticisms from the profit-minded Kwong San. Li Yan and Bhaskar share their disapproval about their children dating, although their objection stems from not wanting history to repeat itself, a great departure from Meera's excuse. Meera is beginning to wrongly suspect that Bhaskar is having an affair. On the matter of Diana seeing Arjun, Jay seems to understand and commiserate well with Li Yan, and they bond further. Jay has his own hairy moment when Kwong San and Xue Ling bring Peter Tay to tour the coffee house.

After all the wooing from Kwong San Food, Peter Tay drops the bomb that he is not investing. At the conference he puts the blame on Xue Ling, but later tells her personally that the real reason is he sees KS Food as a lost cause. Xue Ling literally begs for a second chance to prove him otherwise. Ben cannot get over Vanessa and sinks deeper into the dangerous liaison. Meanwhile, Ah Biao helps Mdm Lee to set up Whatapps on her new phone, so she can be stay in touch with her family in Canada. Unfortunately, this backfires as the family remains apathetic towards her life, and Ah Biao takes the blame. Irate, using Mdm Lee's Whatapps, he shoots an angry message back to her daughter. Meanwhile, Adam reunites with his ex-classmate Han Xiong, who is similarly obsessed with sports and had experience working at a gym. Melissa continues her slow descent into Anorexia, and Jay tries in vain to connect with her...

As Peter Tay proves to be a difficult, Xue Ling and Kwong San, despite their differences, team up and manage to impress Peter Tay with the new office and salvage the investment deal. But trouble is not over for the Lim as Melissa slips closer towards Anorexia. Li Yan reveals to Jay that she knows his real identity is Lim Jun Kai, the son of Bee Li and Kwong San, but she assures him that his secret is safe with her. Meantime, the Tongs console a distraught Ah Biao when Mdm Lee passes after suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest.

The growing rift between Kwong San and Xue Ling upsets Bee Li who persuades Kwong San to move ahead with the times. After his first martial arts class, Adam contemplates a business partnership with Han Xiong, still wary of his evasiveness about his past. Melissa's escalating depression shows when she snaps at Li Yan but Adam does well to bring the family back together. Excited over Lauren's birthday invitation, Eddie convinces Li Yan to let him wait tables for a wage and warmth all around as the families come together for Mdm Lee's remembrance.

As the lease of the old office coming to an end, Kwong San has no choice but to get down to pack and leave his old office. Bee Li arrives to help him and in the process, finds an old photo of Abdul Rahman's restaurant which she later gives to the Rahmans. Fuelled by the advice from the blogs that she reads; Meera starts snooping around to gather evidence for Bhaskar's infidelity. Meanwhile, ex-girlfriend Vanessa makes a move on Ben.

Meera's insecurity heightens when she learns that Bhaskar and Rachelle are going on a weekend work trip. But when she wants to tag along, Bhaskar discourages her, making her feel even more worse. Despite the disapproval from the Tongs, Ben and Vanessa take their relationship on another level. Xue Ling's attempts to improve relationship with Kwong San backfire and is forced to take leave from work.

Ben's relationship with Vanessa hits a bump when the double date with Sulaiman and Norleena turns sour after Vanessa acts out in jealousy against Norleena. Excited and eager to impress Lauren, Eddie arrives at her birthday party only to find out that he is way out of her league. Suspicions grow when Meera discovers a selfie that Rachelle sent to Bhaskar, thanking him for the gift. In retaliation, she cancels a dinner reservation which was meant for their wedding anniversary celebration.

Bhaskar has big wedding anniversary plans in store for Meera but can't believe that she's forgotten all about their big day. Ben's concern for Vanessa goes up a notch when he learns she is meeting up with her abusive ex-boyfriend. When Eddie gets annoyed with Mark for flashing the cash, it turns into an unexpected money-making opportunity for him.

Meera turns nasty when the tension between her and Bhaskar reach breaking point. Adam's MMA classes get a great reception until Xue Ling gives him a reality check. Eddie gets a lucrative new job that turns out to be much more than he bargained for. Ben tries to stay away from Vanessa but her emotional pull is too strong for him.

Being away on leave from KS Foods prompts Xue Ling to help start up Adams' new martial arts venture although her strict business techniques proves to be more of a hindrance than help to Adam's carefree and relaxed approach. More trouble brews when Adam contemplates on accepting Han Xiong's proposal to go into business together. Determined to oust Rachelle out of her husband's life, Meera seeks the help of a cold, collected socialite Nadine. She assures Meera that with her connections, Rachelle will be but a distant memory for the Bhaskar family. Li Yan can't seem to figure out why the usual chatty and cordial duo of Jay and Suzanne seems to not be on the best of terms but little does she know that they have a big surprise waiting for her. Meanwhile, Eddie is a bundle of nerves as he gets ready for his first ever date as an escort.

Sulaiman is pressured by Salmah to quickly start a family while she and Nadiah have to deal with the pressures of extra expenses when their water heater breaks down. Meanwhile, Norleena who's been feeling under the weather finds out the real reason behind it which ultimately will cause more expenses in the Rahman household. Xue Ling tries to find an investor for Adam's business venture but it doesn't sit well with Adam when she uses the Lim name to sell the business. Frustrated, Adam makes a decision about his business that could ultimately cause friction between husband and wife. Eddie wants to earn more money as an escort but can't seem to get enough jobs. He seeks advice from Mark who plainly tells him that being an escort is not an easy job and that he has to up his game if he wants to flourish in the business. Will Eddie be able to rise through the ranks?

Xue Ling discovers that Jay is working at the coffee house. She puts pressure on him to return home. Will Jay panic and flee? Meanwhile, Nadiah suspects that Kwong San was underhanded with her father Abdul Rahman, withholding crucial information which might have changed the fortunes of the Rahmans. Norleena and Salmah are excited because they think Norleena is pregnant, but Sulaiman is not so enthusiastic. Mark advises Eddie to treat his clients as cash cows, and put emotions aside. Eddie is conflicted.

Nadiah investigates a photo, trying to find out if Kwong San had lied and thus misled Abdul Rahman into selling his shares before KS Foods made it big. Salmah is upset. She suffered through Abdul Rahman's obsession with ‘injustice' and cannot go through that again. After Michael catches him out on a lie, Eddie confesses that he's an escort. Norleena wants to try hard for a pregnancy and is upset when Sulaiman feels they should wait.

Michael urges Eddie to quit the escort business but he refuses. Later, on a date with Ai Lin, she suggests they skip dinner and go to her home instead. A flustered Eddie finds himself in hot soup when Ai Lin's husband returns home unexpectedly. Meanwhile, upon learning that Nadiah is graduating from a course in Human Resources, Xue Ling offers Nadiah a job at KS Foods.

The cold war between Norleena and Sulaiman over the debate of having children ends when they are thrown into baby-sitting duties for the neighbour's two young toddlers. Kwong San is none too happy when he finds out that Xue Ling is recruiting Nadiah for the HR position at KS Foods. He wants her out but Bee Li manages to convince him that recruiting Nadiah will ensure he has good karma, while Meera organizes another house party to boost Arjun's standing in the hospital but Arjun didn't turn up, much to Meera's disappointment.

Norleena's and Sulaiman's baby-sitting adventure continues and the whole experience makes them realise that looking after children is easier said than done. Meantime, Meera's friend tries to lure Rachelle to work for another clinic but the plan gets foiled when Bhaskar stands firm and refuses to let Rachelle go, which lead to a huge confrontation between Meera and him about his allege affair with Rachelle. Shruti's online woes escalate when she starts losing fans who believes she is bullying and making fat jokes at the expense of a fellow student Aishah during the filming of Campus TV.

Bhaskar tries to explain to Meera that there is nothing going on between Rachelle and him but is stumped when he couldn't justify where he was during that period when he was accompanying Li Yan to see the Oncologist. And more suspected infidelity on the cards when Suzanne stumbles upon a Chloe on Christopher's Whatsapps chat. With the help of Diana, Suzanne gets in contact with her to sort things out.

The Tongs organize a farewell dinner for Christopher before he goes back to Perth, but he drops the big lie that he has graduated and is not going back Down Under as he is not keen to pursue an honours degree. But that's not the only bombshell dropped during that dinner. Vanessa makes a faux pas about Li Yan having to get married quickly because of Eddie, while Meera has decided to take Bhaskar's word for it that there's nothing between Rachelle and him as she prepares for a weekend trip to Bali with Bhaskar.

Chris's revelation not to pursue his honors degree continues to torment Li Yan while his latest venture into investment in the stock market without a proper salary further deepens her woe. Chris also plays the despotism card and reaches out to Xue Ling through Adam for a position in KS Food, and although his interview fails to impress Wafiq, his impromptu sales pitch got him an internship, much to Li Yan's relief and Suzanne's ongoing stupefaction. Meanwhile, Eddie's pimp, Pierre, drops in at the coffee house, which forces him to devises his own subterfuge when he has to hide his escort moonlighting job from the family. And much to the amusement of the Tong family, the resident cook Zul turns into an unlikely celebrity storyteller.

Eddie has another close-call when Chris overhears his conversation about a new escort assignment for the evening. To Eddie's surprise, Chris is rather indifferent about it, and even gives Eddie advice on better ways to get rich. At the dinner, Eddie's date turns out to be his discipline master Mrs Pereira. What begins as a disastrous date slowly comes around; at evening's end the two have become friends. In the meantime, Ah Biao picks up a rude and condescending customer/passenger, and ends up at the police station after a violent spat.

Eddie gets back at Mrs. Pereira after she serves him a detention, only to realise later that his actions caused her to snap and get sent home early by the Principal. His worries mount when he learns Lauren has a crush on another guy and he's desperate to find out who. Meanwhile, Jay comes to the Tong's rescue yet again by getting the rude customer/passenger to drop all charges against Ah Biao. Li Yan comforts Bhaskar who offloads his guilt about Rachelle while Vanessa has Ben dancing to her tunes, much to everyone's dismay.

Bhaskar seeks the help of Li Yan and Salmah to help Meera part-take in some outside activities so she wouldn't be cooped up at home and start overthinking with her idle mind. The ladies then join up with the Tanglin Ladies Circle group helmed by Bee Li. Eddie gets worried and guilty when he thinks it's him who caused Mrs Pereira's meltdown because of that unexpected social-escort date. And Meera gets really upset again when she finds out that Bhaskar actually went for lunch with Rachelle but he told her he went for a meeting.

Melissa is sick and tired of being treated like a child and she embarks on a plan to grow up. Ben organizes a surprised birthday party for Vanessa, and she gets angry when she learns that Li Yan will not be able to attend – she wasn't interested to attend anyway. Meantime, after informing Salmah that he's on a house visit, Bhaskar spends the afternoon with Li Yan. Meera is suspicious of this house visit and starts investigation to get concrete proof that Bhaskar is spending time with Rachelle, but things come to a head when Salmah spots Li Yan coming out of Bhaskar's car later that evening.

Vanessa's birthday party is already over when Li Yan returns home, and this time, it's Ben who is angry with her for snubbing the birthday party. Melissa's quest to grow up continues as she makes Adam go shopping for clothes which are 2 sizes too big for her, and start throwing tantrums when disallowed to put on make-up, much to Xue Ling's concern. Meanwhile, Salmah demands to know from Li Yan what's going on between Bhaskar and her, forcing Li Yan to admit that Bhaskar was her first love, and Arjun gets a shock when Shruti shows him Meera's involvement in an online chatroom about infidelity.

Melissa discovers that Michael has joined a breakdancing contest behind his parents' back. When she persuades him to teach her a few moves, she falls and hurts herself. Arjun worries that Shruti's fears over Meera's online postings and Bhaskar's alleged infidelity could open up a new can of worms.

The Lims struggle to come to terms with Melissa's anorexia and tension mounts within the family. Adam refuses to believe Melissa is not well but only succeeds in upsetting her. At the charity fundraiser organized by the Tanglin Ladies Circle, Meera makes an unkind remark about Diana that Li Yan overhears.

Li Yan regrets getting too close to Bhaskar who's angered to learn that Meera has been spying on him. Adam's frustration with Melissa spills over into his MMA class when he injures a student. Xue Ling still has trouble getting Melissa to eat properly, and runs away from home when she felt that she's being forced to see a specialist.

Bhaskar finally reveals all to Meera about his past with Li Yan but it only succeeds in raising more doubts about their marriage. Melissa is still missing as the Lims desperately try to locate her. In the meantime, the friendship between Wati and Lathika grows.

The Lims are eager to find the person who saved Melissa from being knocked down by a car, and Xue Ling gets a shock when Li Yan reveals that it was Jay who saved Melissa. Shruti, overwhelmed by the amount of cyber bullying is forced to make the crucial decision of whether she should shut down her blog and swear off social media for the time being while Diana discovers Bhaskar's and Li Yan's past, and things got worse when Meera instigates Diana into thinking that her relationship with Arjun is doomed to fail and she would be better off without him.

Diana is troubled by Meera's words and seeks advice from both Jay and Li Yan, who tells her to follow her heart and do what she feels is right. Suzanne is slightly envious of Chris working at KS Foods and somewhat regrets her decision of not accepting their offer. And realizing he's not getting much gigs, Eddie asks Pierre what's happening, only to get a reply from Pierre that unless he's willing to go ‘further' in his dates, he can forget about making that much money, leaving Eddie to ponder about this job.

Chris is put in a spot when Li Yan asked about his degree certificate as she wants to display it. More issues surface between the couple when Suzanne confronts Chris about their future marital plans. Meanwhile, the cyberbullying takes a sinister turn for Shruti causing her to skip school. Seeing how it affected Shruti, Arjun stands up for Shruti and tells the bullies off despite hurting from his break up with Diana.

Despite having a fight the day before, Suzanne comes to Chris' rescue when he struggles to keep up with an important client. Chris manages to divert Suzanne's focus in getting married to getting a job before settling down. In school, Shruti opens up to Eddie about her emotional diary while Eddie tries to get Mrs Pereira to stay in Tanglin JC. Mystery unfolds as Nadiah finds a box of documents belonging to Abdul Rahman which contains past information on KS Foods.

Eddie's relationship with Lauren blossoms after he orders a Solowheel for her. However things get tricky when Eddie finds out that Chris lost all his money in an investment. After the discovery of Rahman's diary, Salmah cautions Nadiah against pursuing the matter as it may affect in her new job in KS Foods. However, Nadiah decides to investigate further. Taking on Chris' advice, Suzanne applies for a job at KS Foods.

Cash-strapped, Eddie goes around looking for ways to raise money to pay for Lauren's Solowheels. To make things worse, Lauren tweets about a "surprise" for everyone in school. On pretext of doing an interview, Nadiah locates Linda Hartono, only to realize that Linda has lost her memory to dementia. Back home, Norleena decides to take up Bhaskar job offer. Meanwhile, after dragging his feet on settling down, Chris finally agrees to apply for a BTO flat with Suzanne.

Nadiah's first day at KS Foods does not go smoothly when she gets a cold reception from the staff especially from Kwong San. Eddie and Lauren have a lunch date at the coffee house and it is clear to see that there is a growing attraction between them. Meanwhile, Ben and Vanessa go for a picnic and she painfully reveals to him about being estranged from her family and missing her brother that makes Ben determined to reunite her with her family. And Norleena gets information on her medical results – information that can change the course of her plans and ultimately, her future.

While minding Kalila, Nadiah learns that Wafiq is strict and puts too much pressure on Kalila to get good grades. Later, Nadiah and Wafiq clash over their different views of potential people to hire and Nadiah makes a remark which gets too personal. Ben, encouraged by Suzanne, tries to track down Vanessa's family, in hopes of facilitating a family reunion. Sulaiman and Norleena find out that Salmah had used her Hajj savings to help pay for their wedding. They feel terribly guilty.

Ah Biao is depressed that his injury has delayed his return to work. To cheer him up, Eddie asks Ah Biao to teach him photography at the park. There, Ah Biao befriends a fellow photography enthusiast, Uncle Richard.

While taking photo at the park, Ah Biao gets accused by an Aunty for being the pervert photographer who have beem preying on girls and women in the park.

Julie rushes to help Uncle Richard and chastises Adam and Eddie for bullying a senior citizen.

The cold war between Li Yan and Salmah continues at the TCH Mid-Autumn Festival lantern-making event, with Li Yan getting upset when she has to find out about Norleena's pregnancy through Abang Zul. Vanessa, in her bid to get Ben close to her, makes up a story that she had a fall-out with her housemate, much to Sulaiman's frustration. While Eddie reveals to Lauren that he knows she is behind all those online attacks on Shruti, but he covers up for Lauren and falsely admits to Shruti that he is one who is responsible for those nasty posts.

Bee Li is upset with Meera for upstaging her at the lantern-making event yesterday, and Kwong San gives her some advice on dealing with Meera based on an ancient art of war ‘know-your-enemy' philosophy. Despite their cold war, Salmah risks her job when she breaks patient confidentiality and reveals Vanessa's medical condition to Li Yan after reading through her medical records. In the meantime, Lauren feels bad for Eddie and wants to admit to Shruti that she is actually the one behind those nasty posts, but Eddie discourages her from doing so.

Ben tries to broach the subject of her medical condition to Vanessa, but it ends up in a shouting match when Vanessa refuses to admit to it. The tea session that Bee Li organized for Meera with the purpose of ‘knowing-the-enemy' turns into a competitive showdown of sorts between the two ladies. And when Li Yan finds out that Salmah was suspended by Bhaskar over the Vanessa's incident, she pays a visit to Salmah and the two BFFs finally clear the air and reconcile.

A grateful Vanessa goes overboard trying to make up for Li Yan's kindness to allow her to stay at the Tongs for the time being. Ben is alarmed when Vanessa suggests she might make her stay there permanent. The rift between Eddie and Michael grows wider. At the same time, Michael believes Eddie isn't the one cyberbullying Shruti and thinks his uncle may be covering up for someone instead.

Ben and Sulaiman visit Vanessa's parents and are surprised to discover that they have known all along about her mental condition. Michael's determination to find the real cyberbully and clear Eddie's name goes into overdrive. And over at the clinic, Bhaskar gets Arjun to help out at the children's flu jab day. But Arjun's got a hopeless bedside manner when it comes to kids.

Ben and Vanessa appear to be even closer now, much to Li Yan's worry. Wafiq upsets Nadiah during a workplace disagreement then feels indebted to her when she offers to help look after Kalila. While Kwong San and Xue Ling have to deal with a report accusing a KS Foods' supplier of running a factory under sweatshop conditions.

A lot is happening at the KS Foods office as Nadiah secretly fishes for information on the business deal involving her father and Linda Hartono, Suzanne impresses all with her CSR pitch, Wafiq and Xue Ling scrutinizing all the supplier contracts while Chris gets introduced to a new intern Aaron Galistan. Diana, feeling low, daydreams about travelling the world as Arjun drowns himself in work in an attempt to get over her. Light fun at the Rahmans when Sulaiman goes overboard with baby proofing the house and getting Norleena annoyed.

In the first official planning committee meeting, Aaron impresses all with his confident and articulate manner, much to the shock of Chris. Having devoured the Linda Hartono file overnight, Nadiah finds further evidence of her father being conned and manages to return the file in the nick of time - but not without some hiccups. Melissa's eating woes continue while Eddie gets flak for continuing his lavish lifestyle. Trying to enjoy her day off, Norleena appears hormonal and overwhelmed with Sulaiman's attention and online research on pregnancy.

It's the battle of the interns between Chris and Aaron at KS Foods. The stake? A full-time contract will be offered to the one who can come up with the best proposal for the company's main event – the KS20 Charity Walkathon. Meantime, the Lims' battle with Melissa's anorexia continues while Arjun mistakes Jay to be Diana's new squeeze.

The rivalry between Chris and Aaron escalates when Aaron leaves Chris out of the email loop with regards to the KS20 Charity Walkathon event. Ann attempts to get back into Arjun's life again with the help of her mother Kiran, while Bhaskar thinks that Arjun is old enough to make his own decision in the dating department but Meera thinks otherwise. Grandparents-Granddaughter bonding time as Kwong San and Bee Li take Melissa out for an outing and Bee Li is stung by an unintentional rude comment from Melissa.

Afraid to be admitted to the hospital, Melissa tanks up on water to cheat the scales, but is eventually exposed. More woes for Melissa as Adam hits the roof when he discovers she has been surfing those anorexia websites that promote ‘thin is in'. After a talk with Bhaskar, Arjun finally decides to forget Diana for good and focus on his career. Ah Biao passes his taxi licence renewal test while Bee Li takes a shot at organising KS Foods press launch after enrolling onto an online interior design course.

Adam is in denial about his anger issues and during a family gathering at the Tongs, Adam lashes out at Li Yan for the breakup of his parents. The pressure is on Chris after learning from Felicia that the only permanent staff position will be confirmed soon. His attempts to dig up discriminating evidence against Aaron come to naught. Shruti's plan to bring Arjun and Diana together backfires when Arjun turns up at TCH with another girl.

Chris discovers the reason for Aaron's dismissal from his previous job through Suzanne's help. Ben reaches out to Adam and encourages him to seek help for his anger management problems after he got affected by Melissa's condition. Troubles abound in TCH's kitchen when an equipment breaks down, threatening to stall operations. Diana decides to sacrifice her holiday fund to help out.

Knowing that Diana gave up her savings to resolve the TCH's fridge saga, Jay tries to help her by introducing more cleaning jobs but Diana rejects his help outright – she feels that he should be helping his own family instead. Meanwhile the rivalry between Chris and Aaron comes to a head when Chris hatches a devious plan to get Aaron fired from KS Foods.

It's time for KS Foods to choose between Chris and Aaron for the permanent position and Aaron is clearly the favourite. In her bid to help Chris, Suzanne accuses Aaron of misappropriate behavior towards her. But an unexpected turn of event awaits her. In the meantime, Li Yan finds out that Jay has booked an air ticket back to the US, and Eddie tries desperately to raise cash to pay Pierre back.

Feeling like he's being controlled by everyone, Jay makes the decision to pack up and leave, albeit half-heartedly. Eddie ropes Michael in to help distribute flyers for Pierre but the duo later realizes that those flyers are for loansharking activities. Norleena fears for Sulaiman's safety when she finds out that he is involved in fighting a major fire outbreak in a warehouse. And Chris decides to seek Xue Ling's help after Suzanne is suspended from work.

Faced with an ultimatum from Pierre, Eddie is torn on whether he should become a loanshark runner for Pierre to settle his debt. After his warehouse fire-fighting heroics, Sulaiman starts to receive praise from everyone, and even landing an interview with the media. However, Norlenna is not so thrilled about the whole thing. Meantime, Nadiah discovers the harsh reality of working in a family run business after the Aaron-Suzanne episode.

Norleena is quite cold towards Sulaiman over him becoming the recent heartland hero and the endless praises that keep following him everywhere they go. However, a chance meeting with the wife of a man Sulaiman had saved begins to put everything into perspective for her. The coffee house is hit with vandalism and the Tongs are clueless on who would do such an awful thing. However, Eddie knows too well whose handiwork this could be and in order to protect his family, he makes the difficult decision of becoming Pierre's loanshark runner.

Eddie is torn as to whether to confess to Li Yan about all his deeds but when he finally plucks up the courage to own up, Li Yan has already found out. Bitterly disappointed, she doles out a harsh punishment, which devastates Eddie and Michael. Meanwhile, Meera is upset to find out that Arjun is dating several girls at the same time. And over at the Lims, Wati has a secret visitor, arousing Bee Li's suspicions that Wati has a boyfriend.

Bee Li gets paranoid about Wati's ‘boyfriend' and her probing turns into an embarrassing confrontation that involves Meera and Lathika. In the meantime, Meera is upset and worried about Arjun's serial dating and late night partying, but Bhaskar shuts her down. With the ban still in place, Michael badly misses the company of Eddie, and finds ways to cheer himself up, while Sulaiman has some career plans which thrill Norleena.

Kwong San hires a top tutor for Michael with hopes that he will be able to excel in his A-Level and get into a good business school in the US. However, Xue Ling is not keen for Michael to go overseas, whilst Adam thinks the idea of tuition will only add more pressure on Michael. Bee Li, feeling guilty over the mobile phone incident with Wati, decides to grant Wati a home leave to visit her family and see her children, much to her delight. Meanwhile, Li Yan continues to worry about Eddie over his upcoming exams and his ability to stay out of trouble, as Salmah assures her that Eddie is not that bad as perceived to be.

Xue Ling, in her attempt to put an end to the squabbles between Nadiah and Wafiq, arrange a dinner date for them to get to know each other better. But Wafiq got to know more about Kalila over dinner instead. Michael gets some serious lessons on Econs with the top tutor who put him through his paces like an army drill sergeant, while Kwong San gets worried that Bee Li might not be able to cope with the housework and cooking after the latter grants Wati a week's off.

Kalila is upset when she finds out that she has to stay with Wafiq for six months when her mother Yasmine goes on an overseas assignment. Over at Tanglin JC, Mark introduces Michael some ‘brain booster' that will help with studying and coping for the A-Level exams, and that leaves Michael curious and tempted. Eddie continues hanging out at Shruti's place on the pretext of revising for the A-Level exams, much to Meera's annoyance. But Eddie somehow charms his way to Meera's heart.

Business at Tanglin Coffee House has been bad and Li Yan considers desperate measures to arrest the decline. Exams fever for Eddie, Michael and Shruti as they knuckle down to study for their A-Level exams. And Wafiq has Kalila under his care full-time but he is worried that Kwong San may not take kindly to a change in working hours. Meanwhile Bee Li, having let Wati go home for a holiday, struggles with doing even the most basic household chores.

Li Yan has to deal with a new financial issue when she learns the coffee house air-conditioner needs a complete overhaul. Sulaiman gets overly self-conscious with Norleena about his impending Top Ten Hottest Men in Uniform photo shoot. And Michael struggles to keep up with his A-Level swotting while Eddie just manages to survive the first day of his intensive study boot camp organized by Ben and Diana.

It's the first day of the A-Levels exams; both Shruti and Michael face additional stress from their over-concerned parents. Over at the Tanglin Coffee House, financial woes keep piling up on Li Yan and she learns she cannot shoulder the responsibility on her own. While Arjun's playboy ways show no signs of abating and this incurs Meera's wrath.

Salmah gets overprotective of Norleena as the threat of a HFMD (Hand Foot and Mouth Disease) outbreak looms over the Tanglin neighbourhood. Meanwhile, Michael, struggling to cope with his exams and workload, considers buying the ADHD pills to help with his concentration. Diana toils away at work to fund the aircon repairs at Tanglin Coffee House, only to find out she's been outsmarted by Chris. And at the Bhaskars, Arjun continues his playboy lifestyle but would a tiff with Priyanka over a family dinner force him to rethink his actions?

Gastric troubles force Kwong San home early and Bee Li to cancel the practice session for the walkathon with the Bhaskars, but doesn't keep Kwong San from working from home. It's culinary training time at Tanglin Coffee House and Xue Ling finds herself bonding with Jun Kai while learning to make cute and healthy snacks for Melissa. Not so much bonding at the Rahman's however, as Sulaiman, engrossed with his ever increasing Facebook following, finds himself in trouble for ignoring Norleena. A rather dramatic ending to Arjun's otherwise slow and boring day off when a heart to heart talk with his father coupled with a few extra drinks, spurs him to pour his heart out to Diana and give her an ultimatum.

Kwong San piles the pressure on Suzanne and Chris when the sign-up rate for the KS20 Charity Walkathon is not as good as he expected it to be. And a walkathon training session with Bhaskar exposed an unexpected serious ailment. Sulaiman brings home a life-size cut-out of himself, and he got upset when Salmah ‘accidentally' destroyed it. Over at Tanglin Coffee House, Diana is torn between calling Arjun and ignoring his ultimatum altogether after some ‘advice' from Jay.

Bee Li is feeling lonely and helpless after Kwong San was admitted to hospital for cardio treatment and is relieved to have Wati back at home. And to hide Kwong San's medical condition and hospital stay from Xue Ling, Bee Li cooks up a tale about Kwong San having to meet Jun Kai urgently in Australia, a lie that leaves the siblings baffled. Meanwhile Yasmine lays down the ground rules and gives Wafiq some ‘to-do' list for Kalila's stay with him, much to Wafiq's apprehension because that means adding more stress for him juggling Kalila and his work.

In continuation from the previous episode, Bee Li is shocked to see Jun Kai at the hospital. Emotional fallout as Jun Kai reveals that he was back some time ago but chose to stay with the Tongs. Bee Li issues Jun Kai an ultimatum; be committed to the family and the business or stay away from the Lims. Having witnessed Meera's brain fog and irritability during the preparation of Deepavali, Bhaskar suspects Meera is going through menopause. Kalila moves in with Wafiq and things get off the wrong foot when the colours and decoration of her bedroom is not to her liking. While Michael, pressured to do well in his ‘A' Levels, turns to some ‘extra help' to keep himself going.

In retaliation to Jun Kai's rejecting her ultimatum, Bee Li cuts off Jun Kai's allowance and raise Tanglin Coffee House's rental above market rate. Kwong San covers up about his heart operation by lying to Xue Ling that he went to see someone whose company was taken over by Peter Tay. Hoping for a chance that Nadiah and her ‘handsome colleague' Wafiq might date someday, Salmah is disappointed when she learns that Wafiq is married and is also the father of Kalila. Meanwhile Michael reveals to Melissa that he harbours the ambition of being a pilot, but is dismayed that his life is all mapped out without consulting him. Over at the Bhaskars, Deepavali ends on a sour note for Meera when her sari was damaged by a fire from an oil lamp and regards it as a bad omen.

Michael rebels against his family and Kwong San's wishes by refusing to study business, nor join KS Foods. He gains an unexpected ally in Bee Li, who is affected by Jun Kai's return. Xue Ling has some bonding time with Jun Kai, and gets suspicious about the lies Kwong San and Bee Li had weaved to hide Kwong San's poor health conditions. In the meantime, Shruti is on the hunt for something that will lift Meera's bad mood.

As Michael continues the struggle of coping for his exams, he finds an unlikely source of comfort and joy in Pam. While at home, Bee Li continues covering up for Kwong San's illness in front of Xue Ling. Shruti gives Meera a pleasant surprise and eases her mood swings. Her effort comes to naught when she clumsily reveals her intentions to ease Meera's menopausal symptoms. And as the Hand Food and Mouth Disease (HFMD) lurks in the shadows, Salmah frets over Norleena's pregnancy and exposure to the disease, and as a result, getting on Sulaiman's case for his nonchalant attitude towards the HFMD outbreak.

Bhaskar finally broaches on the subject of menopause with Meera. However, Meera is in denial and is upset when Bhaskar tries to fix her up with drugs. Later when Lathika reminds Bhaskar to be a husband instead of a doctor, Bhaskar makes it up to Meera and patch things up with her. As word gets around that Diana has contracted HFMD and has to be quarantined, Jun Kai shows his caring side towards her. And a new friendship between Michael and Pam blossoms when Michael helped Pam in her exam revision and she, in turn, stands up for him against her own friends.

Jun Kai stops a recuperating Diana from going to work and entertains her by playing cards with her. Despite their squabbling, they enjoy each other's company. Bhaskar gets irritated with Meera when she questions his prescriptions for her menopause. Later, out exercising at the park, she bumps into Bee Li, who shows compassion for Meera's suffering. Meanwhile, Melissa gets her exam results and is not too happy about it.

After hearing that Kalila has not been eating properly, Wafiq is worried that she might be influenced by Melissa's anorexia. However, Nadiah reassures him that Kalila is sensible enough not to fall into eating disorder. Over at the Tanglin Coffee House, a hypersensitive Meera gets upset when she thinks that Li Yan is gossiping about her with Chris and Suzanne. Li Yan, on the other hand, has problems on her own when she gets a notice from her landlord KS Foods about a huge rent increase.

Xue Ling gets upset with Wafiq when Melissa contracted the Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) from Kalila. She feels that if Wafiq had taken pre-emptive measures, this would not have happened. Xue Ling then gets even more worried when she learns that it is a lot more dangerous for someone with Melissa's medical condition to get HFMD. Meantime, Li Yan negotiates with Bee Li over the Tanglin Coffee House rent increase, and Bee Li gets evasive when Li Yan links the reason behind the rent increase to Jay. And when Bhaskar offers Norleena an opportunity to upgrade herself, Norleena is thrilled and wants to share the news with Sulaiman. However she is shocked to learn that Sulaiman has intentions for her to quit her job.

Norleena is upset that besides Sulaiman, Salmah too, wants her to quit the clinic job and concentrate on having the baby. She feels betrayed by them. It's Father-Daughter bonding time as Wafiq goes to the mall with Kalila to get some medical supplies. But the shopping trip turns sour when Kalila overhears a phone conversation between Wafiq and a client that makes her think Wafiq is more interested in his work then spending time with her. Meanwhile, Eddie gets suspicious when Pam starts hanging around Michael. He thinks that Pam is trying to make use of Michael. However, Michael defends Pam, which riles Eddie.

In yet another desperate attempt to fatten Melissa up, Xue Ling devises a plan to swop the low-fat frozen yogurt that Melissa usually eats, with the rich, high-fat ones. And to Xue Ling's relief, Melissa couldn't taste the difference. Nadiah is surprised to learn that Wafiq had got a neighbor to look after Kalila at home. When Kalila tells Nadiah she is not comfortable with this arrangement, Nadiah gets Salmah to help out. Further conversations with Wafiq lead to the revelation of Wafiq's feeling that he is not cut out to be the perfect father and husband. Over at the Rahmans, Norleena and Sulaiman clear up their misunderstanding when they finally understand where each other is coming from in terms of their jobs and future plans.

Having to cover for Wafiq while he's at home settling the new maid, Nadiah finds it difficult to deal with Kwong San's demands, reinforcing her already negative impression of him. Kwong San, meanwhile, continues to cover up his medical condition with the help of Bee Li. Feeling guilty for causing the rental hike, Jay secretly helps Li Yan and the Tongs in their coffee house business, and steps in to convince Xue Ling and Adam to lift the ban on Michael and Eddie hanging out together.

Abdul's death anniversary casts a sombre mood over the Rahmans' with Nadiah feeling especially emotional and conflicted after Kwong San shows concern over her well-being. In the meantime, Kwong San and Wafiq share a moment that hints of a dark past. Comic relief as Jay and Zul compete for Chris and Diana's approval of their cooking skill, resulting in Jay being hurt when Diana says she prefers Zul's dish. And the fellowship of the trio of Michael, Eddie and Shruti is being undermined with the intrusion of Pam. To make things worse, Pam makes Michael as her prom date.

Diana discovers Jay's plan in helping Tanglin Coffee House secretly and confronts him. Grateful for his concern over Li Yan, Diana softens her attitude towards Jay which only makes him more uncomfortable. Despite his denials, Jay realises his feelings for Diana goes much deeper. With the prom date drawing closer, Eddie and Shruti pressure Michael to dump Pam. But Michael changes his mind after witnessing Pam's kindness towards Melissa. After her emotional breakdown in the office, Nadiah apologises to Kwong San and Wafiq. Wafiq misreads Kwong San's rare display of openness as a compromise of their pact. But Kwong San assures Wafiq of his discretion.

With no prom date in sight, Shruti offers to go with Eddie as his date, much to everyone's surprise, especially Eddie himself. And with a heightened awareness of his mortality, Kwong San admits his fears to Bhaskar who encourages him to take a proactive approach in managing his health. After witnessing Jay's edginess when Arjun chats Diana up, Zul pushes the issue with Jay, encouraging him to go after Diana. But Jay is defensive and tells Zul off. Afraid of losing his friendship with Diana and the Tongs, Jay chooses to bury his feelings.

At the Tanglin JC prom night, a rivalry between Mark and Michael is kindled, while Pam and Shruti unite with a common dislike of Lauren. Over at Tanglin Coffee House, Li Yan and the Tongs encourage Diana to realise her travel dreams. But Jay is caught between his desire for her to leave, as well as for her to stay. Salmah takes the initiative to introduce a dating app to Zul and Ben, much to their apprehension and annoyance.

Salmah takes one step further with the dating app by setting up Zul's and Ben's online profiles without their knowledge. Chris, frustrated that his stint at KS Foods is going nowhere, rats on Suzanne in a bid to make himself look good. But the plan backfires when Xue Ling sees through it. And with the JC life done and dusted and NS looming, Eddie and Michael draw up a Pre-NS bucket list. Eddie's decision to look for a job to pay back the loan has Li Yan beaming with pride.

Kwong San decides it's time to draft a will and Bee Li is not very happy about it on superstitious grounds. She gets even more upset when she learns of what Kwong San plans for the will. And at KS Foods, Chris finds himself in hot soup when he misses an important email regarding the company's impending twentieth anniversary walkathon. Meanwhile, Salmah runs into a potential child abuse case in the neighbourhood.

Bee Li wants Xue Ling to keep major problem at the KS Foods' factory from Kwong San that threatens to cause further divisions between father and daughter. Chris is overwhelmed by the walkathon duties and seeing Suzanne is busy, he takes advantage of Felicia's crush on him to bail him out. Li Yan considers organizing a casual dining for singles at TCH and gets plenty of advice and ideas from an over-enthusiastic Salmah.

It's the day of KS Foods' walkathon and Jay has a close shave running into Kwong San at the Tanglin Coffee House. Suzanne shines as she chaperones the walkathon Celebrity Guest but then she mysteriously falls ill. Chris takes advantage of her misfortune to grab the limelight while Felicia tries to get close to him. Salmah's concern over an abused patient grows deeper in spite of warnings from Sulaiman to stay out of a potential domestic dispute.

Suzanne gets an asthma attack and Chris, feeling guilty for taking advantage of her illness in the previous episode, overcompensates and believes that KS Foods should take responsibility for her illness. Salmah goes against everyone's advice and makes a police report about Madam Mary Tan abusing her daughter Dawn. While Jay has to live with an embarrassing revelation that's been broadcast to everyone by Diana.

Sulaiman is upset when he got dragged into the Salmah-Mary Tan saga. But there's more that meets the eye with regards to Sulaiman's reaction to the alleged Dawn's abuse case, and that poses some questions for Norleena. Li Yan kick starts the preparation for the TCH Singles Lunch event as the bickering pair of Diana and Jay contributes their own ideas. Meantime, Ah Biao's previously injured knee gives way again when he chases after a couple of taxi fare evaders. Will this signal the beginning of his impending retirement?

Norleena is determined to find out what's going on with Sulaiman and the cause of his mood swings after he got sucked into Dawn's alleged abused case. And more headaches for Zul as he feels he's falling behind Ben in the race for a date online. He is delighted when a Rahimah gets in touch with him but he gets frustrated again when she starts giving him mixed signals. While Nadiah runs into an ex-JC classmate Ashraff at Hong Kong Disneyland and he reveals that he has something ‘important' to tell her after all these years.

Ben goes for a highly anticipated date with someone he met on the online dating app, while Zul comes face-to-face with Rahimah. But both meetings end up with disastrous results. The saga between Mary Tan and Salmah takes a wicked twist when the whole neighbourhood turns against Salmah, making her the public enemy number 1. Meanwhile, the encounter with Ashraff has Nadiah opening up her eyes and mind to love and romance.

As Norleena continues probing about that mystery letter, Sulaiman decides to deal with the issue that has been bugging him and move on with his life. While over at the Tanglin Coffee House, the very first singles lunch ‘Meet and Eat' didn't start and end as well as Li Yan hoped for. And seeing a dejected Li Yan, Diana comes up with a plan to make the next ‘Meet and Eat' event even better, but that plan got Jay worried.

Jay is not comfortable with Diana going undercover at the other café's singles lunch event, so he cooks up an excuse to tag along. And amidst the colorful and weird characters they meet in the event, both Diana and Jay begin to share things about themselves and surprisingly bond quite well. More dating drama as Zul gets another date request through the dating app. Although he expresses nonchalance about it, he can't help but be curious about the other party and decides to check on her.

Ben manages to convince Sulaiman to meet up with his estranged father Hassan. However, the meeting is swift and cold as Sulaiman does not intend to bond with Hassan but rather to get a few things off his chest. And Sulaiman also discovers a shocking truth behind the meeting. Li Yan comes to Meera's aid when she experiences a hot flash whilst at TCH. As the ladies bond, Meera shares some marketing and promotion concepts for the Singles Lunch. Li Yan thinks they are great ideas but Diana is far from impressed.

Sulaiman is on an emotional roller coaster after finding out about Hassan's new family and his half-siblings. Norleena begins to feel the effect of his mood swings and worse, she comes face-to-face with Hassan when he decides to pay Sulaiman's family a visit. Meantime, Eddie and Shruti are concerned over Michael's soft spot for Pam and spending time with her. Over at TCH, Arjun and Diana get into a minor tiff when Arjun thinks that Diana is making fun of Meera, while Salmah and Li Yan raise their concern with Zul over hooking up with the young online date Juliana. They think Juliana is out to cheat Zul of his money.

Diana feels bad about making jokes about Meera. She wants to apologise to Arjun but Jay tries to dissuade her as he is afraid that she may reconcile with Arjun. Over at the Rahmans, Norleena and Salmah demand to know why Sulaiman told them his father is dead when he's not. But Sulaiman tries to evade the issue. And when Arjun tells Diana that Jay might have feelings for her, she scoffs at his wild speculation. But on the other hand, Diana is concerned that Arjun may be right. Michael is secretive about his part-time job, and this only makes Eddie determined to find out what it is. So with the help of Shruti and Pam, they embark on the mission to uncover the truth, leading to an unexpected and hilarious outcome.

Kwong San notices Wafiq's coolness towards Nadiah and thinks that it's because of what happened to her late brother Nasir. And as their friendship blossoms, Meera helps Li Yan with some decorations for the TCH Singles Event night, much to Arjun's surprise and concern. While Eddie, who is just fired from his part-time job, learns about a volunteer programme in Thailand, and Li Yan encourages him to go. Jay is mistaken as a participant at the Singles Night Event. As he escorts an attractive girl to a table, Diana watches with an uncomfortable feeling.

The Lims are wary about Peter Tay's return to KS Foods and while Bee Li reminds Kwong San not to let Peter Tay push him around, Peter Tay has already helped himself to Kwong San's office by setting up his own work station there. Meanwhile, Eddie happily prepares for his trip to Thailand while Michael's part-time job gets found out by his parents. Knowing that her parents won't approve the guy she is dating, Ann gets Arjun to play along as a ‘pretend date'. But Arjun is not keen to get involved with this – he could get into hot soup with Ann's father Dr Krishna, who also happens to be his boss. But then again, Arjun thinks he could also benefit at work with this arrangement.

Acceding to Kwong San's wishes, Michael turns up at KS Foods to do a work attachment while waiting for his NS Call-Up and A-level results. But Xue Ling, under pressure from Peter Tay, sends him to work as a cleaner in the factory, leaving him shocked and Adam furious. Wafiq's and Kalila's lives are turned upside down with the arrival of Wafiq's mother Asmah, who is supposedly here to look after Kalila. While Arjun gets some lessons in career-advancement after a round of golf with the various Department Heads from the hospital.

More corporate woes for Michael as he is forced to attend the KS Foods company dinner while Uncle Chris the intern is forced to sit out of the function, much to his chagrin. And more clashes between Kalila and her grandmother Asmah as they really don't see eye-to-eye on everything from shopping, eating to even the right thing to say to Melissa.

As things are not going well between Kalila and Asmah, Kalila pleads with Nadiah for help. Nadiah has no choice but to bring this matter up to Wafiq before Kalila moves in with Asmah. Will Wafiq take on the responsibility to look after Kalila himself? Adam is angry with Xue Ling for getting Michael involved in digging for more information on Peter Tay through his estranged daughter Lauren. But Xue Ling is adamant she's doing it all for the future of KS Foods. Lauren nearly finds out the truth behind Michael's purpose of getting close to her, but Michael manages to cover his track in time. Meantime, a self-conscious Melissa starts to weigh herself and gets really upset with the result.

It's Christmas Eve but the Lims are in no festive mood when Melissa has a meltdown after she finds out that she has put on weight. And more headache for Kwong San as Peter Tay presents a list of senior and loyal staff to be made redundant and insists the retrenchment exercise goes ahead. While Kalila and Wafiq enjoy a much needed father-daughter bonding time after the nightmare with Asmah.

Kwong San tries to bring up the topic of his will again but Bee Li gets upset – she doesn't understand why he must talk about this ‘inauspicious stuff' (at least to her) right on Christmas day. Melissa gets discharged from the hospital but things do not get any easier for Xue Ling and Adam as the week's pent-up frustrations result in a big argument between both of them. Meantime, Arjun is stuck in TCH after going along with another of Ann's fake dates. To kill time, he hangs up with Chris and both of them bond over a game of darts.

Unresolved tension between Adam and Xue Ling cast a shadow over Boxing Day. After deducing that Melissa's anorexia could be due to deeper psychological issues, Xue Ling makes a decision to have a therapist work with her. However, this was met with objection from Adam for fearing that Melissa's psychological issue could be traced to his late mother's mental illness. Meanwhile, Salmah is concerned that Nadiah and Wafiq are spending too much time with each other at work. She worries there might be something going on between them as she doesn't really approve of Wafiq's divorcee status. Wrecked with guilt from his one-night stand, Christopher over-reacts and confronts Suzanne over photos of her posing with male clubbers on Facebook, deepening the rift between them.

Despite Adam's objection, Xue Ling engages a therapist to help Melissa with her anorexia. Meanwhile, Adam bonds with Christopher over MMA and regaling stories about their late mother.
