A New Fight Begins
George from SNK News wants dirt on Man Wai-sam and the academy. He goes to Cathy for the files. Cathy makes a deal. She'll give him the info if he approves her resignation immediately. George agrees on the spot.

Then, some dark news breaks. Three members of the Crystal Clear Academy died by suicide. The police suspect the head guru, Chan Man-fai, ran off with all the cash. They've officially opened an investigation.

Fei shows up at Man Wai-sam’s place with good news. In-Focusis officially back on the government press list. Their subscriptions have shot up, making them the number one online news outlet. But he still wants Man Wai-sam to apologize for the old King Jimbo story. She refuses. She says she did nothing wrong, so she won't apologize.

We learn that Fei was actually one of the victims of the King Jimbo poisoning. The lab had found a bad batch of their product. But the company destroyed all the evidence before going public. They need a new way to crack this case.
The Smoking Gun
Cathy and Hazel meet up for a boxing session. Hazel is celebrating her promotion. She offers to help Cathy find a new job. Cathy turns her down. She says she wants to take some classes for herself. She also makes it clear she won't be a government source inside the media.
Back at SNK, they promote a guy named Keung Lik-hang to deputy director. While cleaning out an office, he finds a box of Fei’s old belongings. He calls Fei to come get it.
Fei picks up his old stuff. Inside the box, he finds an old, expired bottle of King Jimbo's red yeast rice capsules. This is the breakthrough they needed. Lau Yim warns them to be extremely careful with this investigation.
Man Wai-sam goes alone to pick up the lab report for the capsules. She gets cornered and attacked by three men. Just in time, Lau Yim and Fei arrive. The police take the attackers away. Lau Yim is furious with Man Wai-sam for going by herself.
Justice and Old Rivals

Next, she targets Kelly Tang . The influencer is at the height of her popularity. She's holding a fan meet-and-greet. Man Wai-sam crashes the event. She goes live on her own stream. She calls out Kelly Tang for using her for clicks and building a career by tearing others down. The viewers in the livestream immediately side with Man Wai-sam. Kelly Tang is left speechless.
A Queen Returns
A new problem lands on their doorstep. Chung Pak Group's stock has plummeted. It's because the boss's son, Cheng Chi-wo, made a bad investment in that "mind-body-spirit" cult. Now he wants In-Focusto help clean up his image.
Man Wai-sam holds a meeting about it. If they take the deal, Chung Pak Group will become their biggest advertiser. During the meeting, she keeps getting calls from a US phone number. She ignores them. Then she forwards the calls to Chan Tsz-kit's phone.

At the airport, SNK News is there. They are trying to interview the legendary "News Queen," Yuen Suet-kuen. She completely ignores the SNK crew. Instead, she spots Ma Ka-ming and walks right over to him.
Yuen Suet-kuen insists on seeing the In-Focusoffice. Once there, she immediately starts mocking their equipment and small space. Man Wai-sam is clearly not happy to see her old rival.
