Hedonistic Monty Blackett takes Matthew and sister Sylvia along to the hottest Chinese nightclub. She's annoyed Mattew invited US officer Ehrendorff and back at the mansion makes clear enough he stands no romantic change for him to decide returning home. Matthew however makes clear not to fall under her siren spell even before the Singopore Sting virus decks him. Vera was thrown out again, so seeks a new protector, but Syvia dragged Matthew away.
