It also happens to be a good excuse to get to know Lynette’s high society parents a little better and hopefully, this will lead to invites to posh functions and high profile receptions with the beautiful people Margaret is just dying to rub shoulders with. But Margaret’s plan falls flat when Lynette’s parents end up having more in common with Kang and Rosie than her and Beng!

The family slowly falls apart from greed and mistrust. And there is another minor complication. Every time Kang tries to collect his mydollarxml 10m winnings, he keeps getting knocked unconscious, and waking up to the very same day... over and over and over again.
