Episode synopsis
A murderer is chasing after BILL when FU rushes to the Mau Yan Temple. FU saves him in time and BILL is willing to witness against FOOK and WAI. FU gets so used to his life in the mortal world and the two little deities remind him to report himself back in Heaven. FUNG is mistaken that FU has got some incurable disease. She steals from the shop and wants to have some fun with her husband. When YUK finds out, she reveals to FUNG that FU has turned into a deity. As an excuse to avoid the defilement from WAI, SZ wants to move to the TIN family. YU suggests that SZ should live with the CHUNG family instead. The little deities are surprised that FU still has not regained his magic power and suspect that KWAI is indeed his benefactor. The little deities play with the gold gong and accidentally release the deity in it. As to thank FU, she grants him a wish.
About The Winter Melon Tale
Fan Tung (Liu Kai Chi) is one of the four deities under the Stove God. He has offended the Queen Mother of the West of being ravenous and gets imprisoned for 500 years in the winter melon. By chance Tin Dai Kwai (Sunny Chan) and his wife Chung Bik Yuk (Louisa So) free him from constraint. Tung gets flattened by Kwai's older brother Tin Tai Fu (also played by Liu Kai Chi) accidentally and his spirit enters Fu's body inexplicably while losing all his instincts. Tung starts living in Kwai's house and getting closer to the family. Yuk finds Tung suspicious and she tries to unmask him by all means. Having failed in his attempt to return to Heaven, Tung becomes reliant on the help of six little deities who assimilated his instincts released from the melon, and since then Tung is aware of the fickleness of human nature.
