Plot[]
Charles is in bed, and he wakes up to a loud noise. Disoriented, Charles doesn’t know where he is. Alexis saved Charles, and though he is uncomfortable talking to a cop, he’s grateful and asks her to retrieve his phone from the spa. Eileen instructs Blood Boots to find Charles, while she investigates the unfolding situation. Xing is assigned to keep an eye on Bruce. In class, Xing realizes the significance of Sleepy Chan’s words, since the new gang is after Eileen. Bruce, worried about his unresponsive mother, seeks Grace’s help to distract his improv team lead, so he can search for her.
Grace catches Bruce and Xing on campus, and notices Bruce’s distress. Bruce learns that his mother’s life is in danger. Eileen meets Lao Hong at a clothing store for information on the masked men, but she is betrayed when they bribe Hong. Moreover, Eileen walks into a trap, leaving Bruce and Xing desperate to find her. Bruce and Xing both successfully track down Hong in the Mahjong room. Bruce resorts to violence, revealing his gangster side to extract information on Eileen’s whereabouts. Eileen, now captured by the Boxers, is coerced into revealing secrets about the Triad heads.
Blood Boots, disobeying Eileen’s order, follows her instead. Blood Boots informs Bruce and Xing to meet him later under the laundromat sign. Bruce comes up with a plan to save his mother without resorting to violence. Unfortunately, the Boxers spotted and captured Blood Boots, putting Eileen at a disadvantage. The Boxers demand information, threatening to kill Blood Boots. Eileen and Blood Boots both reach an understanding, but a top Boxer member shoots him. Alexis retrieves Charles’s phone, and they talk about their past before sleeping together. Charles asks for another favor, and they discuss the recent deaths of businessmen.
Suspecting that Alexis is using Charles, he refuses to share information to her. A heated argument ensues, revealing Alexis that she had put a tracker on Charles phone. Bruce’s plan works brilliantly. Bruce gathers the old ladies from Mahjong to rescue Eileen, only to watch Blood Boots dead. Charles arrives home, and the group catch up on the events. Eileen decides to give Bruce crucial information to save himself, and he is reluctant. Eileen insists it’s the only way to ensure Bruce's survival.
