Another interesting episode~
Shirley loses sight of her mother, but the evil fortune teller guy finds her instead, calling her “Si Mui”. It turns out her father was the Evil Fortune Telling guy’s “Si Fu”, which really puts things in context..I mean, who else can this evil fortune telling guy come from? Seeing that Rebecca has lost her memories, he takes her back and attempted to learn more about the contents of the Book of destiny from her. Later, Yuen Wah and Shirley find Rebecca, calling her “wife” and “mother” which causes Rebecca to be in confusion. After learning that Rebecca was married to Yuen Wah, the evil fortune telling guy starts telling her lies and bad-mouths Yuen Wah and her daughter Shirley, saying they are bad people. In the past, the evil guy had fallen in love with Rebecca and thought that his Sifu would make the two a couple and pass the secrets to the Book of Destiny to him, but didn’t. After Rebecca’s father’s death, he learns that Rebecca left and married another man, not knowing it was Yuen Wah (who took on another name).
Benny and Steven appears to help each other and really get along well. In one instance, Benny and Steven dress up as girls ( they looked sooo bad!!), distracting the evil guy and Yuen Wah carried Selena on his back (with her covered) in order to lure the evil guy away, thinking he was trying to take Rebecca back. The plan worked and Shirley and her friend were able to successfully take her away. They took her to a field of grass and performed “Sit Dan” dancing to her, which she has taught them when they were young in hope for her to regain her memories. Some memories were coming back but all she knew in her mind was that she can’t reunite and doesn’t want to see them again, running away (back to the evil guy)..there’s something in her mind that won’t allow her to do so even though she doesn’t truly remember why. I couldn’t figure if she gained full memory and was just pretending or not..
On the other hand, Steven and Shirley try to help Benny and Selena elope since Benny’ parents refuse to let the two be together; nor for him to divorce Shirley. They believed that Shirley was able to protect Benny from all bad luck. In another sense, that way Shirley can also be free to be with Steven.
The two do end up escaping, but Shirley and Steven were left to face the consequences. They were set up and accused of having an affair (since Shirley is supposedly has married to Benny). The two denied the fact because it was obviously not true; but because Benny’s family were being unreasonable and stood on their grounds, Steven and Shirley openly admit that they love each other when Benny’s father asked. The family found it a disgrace and decided to kill the two off by the drowning them ..they were so unreasonable!! Their son Benny can happily live while Shirley suffers. So its ok if the man can love another women, but not ok for the women to like another man..traditional those days..*sigh*
At the moment before drowning them, Yuen Wah, Selena and Benny make it back just in time!
***On a side note: Looks like most of the scenes in the opening themevideo is already shown in the series and we’re only half way through~ I guess that way there would be less spoilers~
