She uncovers a few clues and finds out Sing's disappearance is connected to Sing's divorced wife and good friend Lau Kwok Wai (Wong Chi Yin). Ching is shocked by the truth...

When she reappears, she is a changed person, and Ching has to cope with another loved one mysteriously changing... Little does he know, it's not quite her but someone genetically similar.
