Synopsis
Mung Ka-Ka (Sheren Tang), Cho Mei-Ngoh (Kiki Sheung), and Hilary Ding Mui-Hong (Cecilia Yip) are good friends and they are experts on how to raise a family. They teach Ko Wing-Kuen (David Chiang) how to raise his daughter and show him that it takes more than words to care for a child.
Along the way, they find out that their husbands might be secretly doing things behind their backs:
- Ka-Ka suspects her husband Joe Fong Yin-Jo (Michael Tse) is secretly pretending to be a woman, while in reality he is trying to pursue his goal of becoming a cross-dressing pop star.
- Mei-Ngoh's husband Ma Dai-Hap (Wilson Tsui) might be cheating on her with another woman.
- Mui-Hong thinks her husband Bill Cheuk Kam-Biu (Derek Kwok) might be having an affair in which causes her to receive sexual diseases.
- Shu Siu-Man (Leila Tong) just came back from America and suspects all three of them to have caused the death of her best friend Yoyo who is also Gam Shing-Tsun's (Kenneth Ma) wife.

gollark: I'm not sure why you would particularly want to smuggle mercury on anyway. I don't see why it'd do much.
gollark: I doubt it's particularly secret if random TSA people know about it, but enjoy.
gollark: Stuff like the proof of Fermat's last theorem required connecting together a bunch of disconnected-looking areas of maths in very clever ways. There's more to that than just "practice", by most definitions of practice.
gollark: If you want to solve "the most difficult solvable equation in the world" you're probably going to have to come up with a lot of new techniques.
gollark: Practising stuff will make you better at what you're already able to do mostly.
