Overview
The night when MEI moves into the NG family, LAI purposely makes a palatable supper. The wine fragrance of the food raises the appetite of TAK. During breakfast, TAK leaks out the plans that LAI has worked out to help MEI integrate with the family. Learning from the colleagues, CHARLIES knows that a favorite guy of MAN will join the company and it turns out to be RYAN. MEI tries to associate with the neighbors. When she expects to go for high tea, they end up having an afternoon tea in a cafe. Then she meets an old lady who claims to know about the grand taste in Central. MAN shows off his extravagant design chair to the staff. When shooting the chair, CHARLIE has accidentally knocked the spotlight over and burnt the surface of the chair. MEI gains no support at the family conference when she proposes her objection against the 5 Constants. Losing her face, MEI leaves home indignantly.
