When asked about Jamaican music, most people mention Bob Marley. In this episode, Jacob Edgar explores roots reggae with prominent artists. He visits St. Thomas to meet rising star Tarrus Riley, who performs an unplugged set by the sea and celebrates his record release at Jamaica's largest music festival, Sumfest. Edgar then heads to the hills to meet Richie Spice, discussing reggae's social significance at his family farm. The episode concludes with Etana, a popular singer blending reggae and neo-soul, as she shares insights on the challenges women face in the industry and performs acoustically on Goldeneye beach.

Jacob discovers that Delhi is more spread out and has a different energy than Mumbai. Ignoring his crew's advice, he tries street food and faces the consequences. He meets Rabbi Shergill, a well-known Sikh performer famous for his song "Bulla," who is playing at a benefit concert. There, Jacob connects with the fusion band Indian Ocean, whose manager, Druv, is a Bollywood actor. Later, at a park, Rabbi discusses the Indian music scene and performs "Bulla" unplugged, while Jacob struggles with illness in the bushes, leaving the crew unsure whether to continue filming or help him.

The qin or guqin is an ancient Chinese plucked seven-string musical instrument, so valued in traditional cultural circles that an old saying goes: “A gentleman does not part with his qin or with poetry without good reason”. Well, later in the show, we may not be parting with a qin, but we will be sharing with you some new music for it as composed by a group of contemporary musicians. Stay with us for that. But first, last year was Hong Kong’s hottest since records began 140 years ago. Rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by climate change are worldwide phenomena, and their effects can be seen in the drought and fierce winds that sparked the recent devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Here in Hong Kong, concerns about the impact of climate change are at the forefront of an ongoing exhibition by a group of local artists. Currently on show at the University of Hong Kong’s Museum and Art Gallery is an exhibition of works by art historian and visual artist David Clarke. “David Clarke - Colour in Space” features ten giclée prints of his own abstract watercolour paintings, an original watercolour, and a 14-minute video work.

Design District Hong Kong (#ddHK) is a creative tourism project that celebrates authentic culture and creativity and, through design elements, livens up unique local neighbourhoods in Hong Kong.

The school uniform – not something we want to wear as students, yet something we miss when we graduate and reminisce about as working adults. This item of clothing promotes order among students and cultivates discipline. Although they all look similar, they actually come in a diverse array of styles. Who designed the school uniform you wore? And how have the uniforms worn by today’s students evolved to become the way they are? What techniques are involved in creating this quotidian garment? Kam Lun (Paul Lam) Tailors Ltd., a time-honoured brand that has been specialising in the production and sales of local school uniforms for over 60 years, shares all in an autobiography.

Aunt Bing fell into a "pump and dump" scam once again, losing all her money and suffering an emotional breakdown. The investigators noticed suspicious activities involving Digi Securities, with the key figures being the head of the securities firm, Lo Kam, and the influential stock market player, Ma Chi Wa. There were unusual transactions between the two, but Ma Chi Wa claimed that his subordinates were responsible for them, asserting his innocence and displaying arrogance. Tony boosted the morale of his discouraged team members and decided to focus on exposing the major flaws of Lo Kam. They relentlessly questioned Lo about his various transactions, using both persuasive and coercive tactics. They first warned him that he must respond to questions based on SFO183 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. Then, they mentioned the principles of confidentiality agreements and the fact that admission of guilt cannot be used for prosecution under SFO187. After some ups and downs, they finally convinced him to cooperate. Feeling the pressure, Ma hastily destroyed all the evidence and planned to escape by helicopter. This prompted a joint operation by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the police, leading to a chase and confrontation. Eventually, they apprehended him. Afterward, Tony and Crystal's relationship improved, and their working dynamics were subtly influenced by each other. As members of the Securities and Regulatory Commission, they continued their mission to uphold fairness in the stock market and worked together towards that goal.
