Episode summary by Singapore TV
The bad reviews keep rolling in. Business is getting from bad to worse. Louise is beyond distraught. She stomps around the restaurant, in a foul mood.
Sharon still hasn't mastered the finer points of cooking yet. Sharon keeps going on doggedly but the lack of proper instruction from Steve hampers her progress. Steve isn't really teaching her, it’s more like he's instructing her disinterestedly from a distance. All Marcus does is carve vegetables.
Sharon goes around looking for someone to repair the brick game of Steve's that she broke.
Sharon checks the reservation book and finds that a reservation had been placed for two, under the name of Mr Lee, the booking was made a year ago. They don't expect anyone to turn up, considering the reputation of the restaurant now. Flowers arrive for Mrs Lee.
Suddenly, Louise mood changes dramatically. She takes over the kitchen, working on something that's top secret. It's something she's done every year for the last five years but nobody can coax the details from her. Later that night, Louise turns up in a stunning dress, and exits the restaurant, carrying a box.
To everyone's surprise, Mrs Lee, aged about 60, steps into the restaurant. They show her to her reserved table and give her the flowers. She gets emotional when she sees the flowers. She requests for a dish with rose petals that’s Steve's specialty.
Louise, carrying the box, arrives at the airport. She stands at the Arrivals Board, checking out the planes arriving. She takes out a smudged note, "Wait for me, I'll be there November 12th 20--"
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen at the restaurant, Sharon loses her temper at Steve for not taking his talent seriously when he refuses to cook the rose petal dish for Mrs Lee. She tries to find the recipe to replicate the dish but it’s nowhere to be found.
Louise is sitting at the Arrivals floor of the airport waiting. Her smile has dimmed a little as her hopes diminish bit by bit. A security guard, Mike, looks suspiciously at her and the box she's carrying. He arrests her.
Mrs Lee gets emotional and grabs at the knives. She tells them it's time for her to join her husband. They find out that it's her wedding anniversary. Her husband had made reservations a year ago but a few months ago he had passed away from cancer. Mr Lee had wanted to eat at Steve’s restaurant when he read a review about his specialty dish. But he never had a chance to taste it.
Mrs Lee misses her husband terribly. She hasn't eaten, hasn't slept, since her husband passed away. She tells a very moving story of how her husband had saved her life once before.
Under interrogation by Mike, the security guard, Louise tells him why she's there. She's waiting for her holiday fling to come to Singapore for her. Louise decides she’s had enough of waiting. She's been waiting for five years. She gives the cheesecake to Mike and leaves.
Sharon tells Steve that just because his parents had a bad marriage, it doesn't mean that love doesn’t exist. She points out that Steve can help Mrs Lee feel better by cooking the dish she wants but he's selfishly wallowing in self-pity.
Struck by Sharon's scolding, Steve picks up the roses and commences cooking. He later finds his brick game repaired.
