LAU KAM and MARCO advise KELLY and KITTY to form a “Handbag Team” with LAM so as to get closer with LAM. When the four are late the next morning, they receive a warning letter from LAM threatening to punish them. ATHENA asks the staff to handle her personal business. LAM deliberately assigns them work to help them out. They are friends with her afterward. TODAY and FRANCIS go to shop for some cosmetic items and FRANCIS is mistaken for a woman. When they go to buy some clothes, he buys a woman’s outfit the same as TODAY’s and a paparazzo takes a photo of him. He takes some soup and an embroidery cardigan to the TV station for TODAY. MAY sees him and laughs at him being so feminine. He is pulled in to act as a woman extra at a scene. TODAY sees him dressed up in woman’s clothing and gets in a rage.
