Episode 1 - Jason and Yama meet again on the ship
Yama has the same dream every night about her marriage to a man in Los Angeles and then a fortune teller reading her tarot cards and explaining that she will have three years bad luck before things get better. The next day at work, Yama finds that she has won a lucky draw where the big prize is a holiday on the 10,000 Tonne Goddess cruise liner. Yama doesn’t want to go, but is convinced by Pauline that it would be a good laugh. Jason, Din and Keung are also preparing for a trip on this same cruise liner where San works as the Cruise Director and Din works as a purser. Whilst checking in their passengers, Din and Jason meet King Sir who is smoking in a no-smoking area. Din makes a scene, but Jason steps in to sort things out.
Yama and Pauline look around the boat, but Pauline keeps mentioning about Yama’s failed marriage of three years ago. When they find Yama’s speared photo of her groom in their luggage, she is convinced that this trip is jinxed. Yama and King’s bags are mixed up and whilst returning each others bags, Yama meets King and Pauline tries to seduce Jason, who does his best to get away. King invites Yama to dinner whilst Jason recognises the scarf in Yama’s luggage. Jason just misses Yama in the lift lobby, but he knows she in on board and discusses what to do with Din and Keung, pointing out he has forgotten everything in the past.
Flashback to three years ago when Jason was working on a boat, where he meets with Yama with whom he has a whirlwind affair and marries. Later he finds out that she has simply used him as a replacement husband when she was jilted at the alter by her real fiancé so that she would not disappoint her parents. Jason is distraught when he finds out.
Pauline agrees on behalf of Yama to King’s dinner date. Meanwhile, Pauline is quite infatuated with Jason. Jason bumps into King who is waiting for Yama and when he notices her coming, he runs away. King wears Yama’s scarf which Pauline has given to him and Jason watches over them at their meal dressed as the ship’s mascot and preventing them from getting close. Yama is then chosen to dance with the mascot and when they fall over, Jason’s costume falls off and she recognises him. The two cannot stop arguing with each other about their respective experiences, but reach an agreement to keep quiet about their pasts. Keung and Din get Pauline drunk to find out a little more about Yama. When Jason and Keung take Pauline back to her cabin, they get their clothes caught in her zip and are caught by Yama who accuses them of being perverts. Then Yama’s dress catches in the scuffle and falls apart, getting Din and Jason in trouble with the captain. The captain explains that there is an inspection from the LA head office and warns them to be careful. Din is worried that she might lose her job and Jason and Keung try to help and find out who the inspector is. Din meets with Yama and Pauline who claim to be the inspector from LA head office whilst the real inspector, King Sir, meets the captain and says that he plans to take him to the Hong Kong office. Yama takes advantage of the misunderstanding and makes a fool of Jason to her and Pauline’s amusement as Din and Keung look on in disbelief. They run into King on the deck and during their argument, they break King’s father’s ancestral plaque and find out his real identity. Yama is horrified.
