EPISODE 33

Nothing much happened today which I shall call this episode the "Busybody episode". Oh ya, loads of plot about busybody busy with other bodies, so to speak. And again repetetive.

For one, Phillip simply refused to tell everybody his embarrassing problem, so wife left for Rome leaving Sam rather frustrated.

Zoe was still trying to get Sam to go on a holiday with her. What is the significance of this holiday? May I be bold to suggest that a holiday involves living in the same room and thus sleeping on the same bed so more intimacy? I mean they can just pak-tor in HK but Zoe was pretty insistent, and thanks to Paul, she gave an excuse of going to Rome to try and persuade Sam's mom to come home. Sam said ok but not about the trip but about what she intended to do in the trip.

Meanwhile, Sam and Zoe still quite ok, Zoe still didn't tell Sam about her heart ailment and Sam still running to Belle whenever she asked him to, in a way. I find it very irritating that Zoe was so giving. No girlfriend will be that understanding, more so when you had planned for a BBQ trip, bought everything and suddenly Sam received a call from Belle who didn't say anything much and Sam looked like he wanted to see her and Zoe out of genuine concern immediately say yes. We must remember before this Belle met Sam at the beach and said the past is the past, let's be best friends but both looked rather reluctant to stop their relationship there.

Back at Belle's place, she said she asked Sam to come because she found some tapes that Vincent filmed and wanted to watch them. She did, she cried, she watched and cried some more. And I am still wondering when will I get to hear Vincent's last message? Why such a slow pace? Why draggggggggggggggg?!

Anyway, then we have same old plot about Isaac and Donald and Zita. Out of the blue we have the scene of Donald detecting a bird flying on the runway and warned the captain and the captain complimented him. A very odd scene, maybe to remind us all that

a. this series has more than Sam, Belle and Zoe
b. Donald is still very much alive and is a pilot, never forget that.

Anyway again, Zita seemed pretty much settled with her love life with Donald, writing love letters and all. Very good but Isaac looked like he still longed for her, which is dead boring because I have seen this every 2 episodes, like Belle crying every episode, Sam longing got Belle and Belle longing for Sam every other episode and Zoe planning a trip with Sam every 3 episodes. When are we going to move on??

Back at Rome, Sam's mom refused to go home. Then we have another odd story within a story where Sam's mom had a neighbour (upstairs neighbour) whose husband left her for another woman some 15 years or more before. The truth known to everybody was that man died in a car accident many years ago, something that woman didn't know and the woman was still living with the hope that he might return one day and so she never left the apartment for a stroll however beautiful Rome may be. Zoe devised a way to make that woman happy after reading a news of a sunken ship that sunk some 15 years ago and they found letters. So she managed to forge a letter and gave it to that woman who may have read that letter (so assuming her husband drowned instead of dying in a car accident with the other woman) and Zoe and Sam saw her finally strolling on the streets, buying groceries. Zoe's reason for doing so is to give the woman an answer; that her husband has died but he died wanting to return to her which was not the truth. Sam looked at Zoe admiringly and the end.

Tomorrow Zoe will break off her relationship with a very confused Sam.

I wonder though what is that woman after having read that letter realised the one reason for her still living had died decided to jump off a building to be with her dead husband? How will Zoe feel? I mean if that woman wants to wait for her husband let her be. But she went ahead and forged some letters. What if the end results are negative? I mean if I know that the man I have been waiting for decades is dead and died still loving me I might

a. like Zoe anticipated, live on
b. just jump off the building since that's the end.

What a busybody.

Anyway performance wise, I am beginning to be very irritated with Myolie Wu's constant smiling and perky self. Nothing wrong but getting very tired of it all. Also very tired with Sam's I love I don't know emotional roller coaster though Francis Ng was brilliant whilst very bored with Belle's constant crying when she was still longing for another man's embrace.

Boring boring boring episode.

Looking forward to some tragedy because this series' plot is getting stale, and getting nowhere.

End credits we have someone explaining about luggage.
