Bling Empire (2021–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Crash and Burn - full transcript
Christine airs old grievances. Kevin hits a bump in the road and has an emotional meeting with his cousin. A girls trip to Joshua Tree turns tense.
Something's burning.
-Ha.
Hmm.
-Guys.
Burning!
Hello.
Hello. I--
You look cute.
So do you. I love your sweatshirt.
-Okay, I brought these over.
-Okay.
For a little unboxing.
Okay.
-Yeah. So where should we do it?
-Here?
-Here? Yeah?
-Yeah.
Fashion is truly what I care most about.
I've been featured
in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle.
It's definitely not
the traditional career path
for what Asian parents want
their children to be pursuing.
I wouldn't call myself an influencer.
I'm a person…
that… likes fashion and does things.
It was $2,700.
Only for Chanel do we pay
almost $3,000 after tax for a T-shirt.
The biggest Birkin I have is 30,
but I still don't use them.
They're sitting in their dust bags.
I need to make sure you can't see my… my…
-Yes.
-…vagina.
Put your legs that way.
-I don't need the whole video--
-Yes.
You can see everything.
Stuff you don't need to be seeing.
Okay. Welcome to a new video.
So for today's unboxing,
we have a special guest.
-The one and only Anna Shay.
-Don't.
Anna, are you excited
for your first unboxing?
Yes. Confused but excited.
So, Anna, I have my knife,
and I will let you start.
For our first package, we have tissue.
Oh my God!
-This is the smallest purse in the world.
It's like a baby and a mommy.
This is too cute.
You can probably squish in
a $100 bill if you wanted to.
It's actually quite practical.
-You can fit two pieces of candy.
-Oh my--
-Is this a bear?
-Yes, but in your case, this is a dress.
What--
-Now we have a duffel bag.
-Duffel bag.
-What's that?
-This is amazing.
I'm like--
Last one.
Okay. Don't you need some water?
-You're not thirsty?
-No. I cut back.
On water too?
-So Anna has hers on backwards.
-Backwards.
Shoulders are a little large.
The shoulders are a little large.
You have to probably do alterations,
but we all have good tailors, so…
Okay, perfect. That's it.
So that is how we do it.
You are so cute at this.
I like how we wore things,
like, different ways.
I really think it's important
that people create their own style.
Right, so that you have to really wear
and own the clothes.
-And the clothes can't wear you.
-Can't wear you.
Yeah, a lot of times,
people let the clothes wear them.
You have to wear the clothes.
Yes. In this case, I do believe
my shoulder pads are wearing me.
So tonight, Joel,
we're doing a pre… like, listing party.
Yeah.
Actually, I'm really excited
for Chrishell to see it. Because she…
she would know whether this
actually would sell for what I want, so…
-Hopefully.
-So I can buy a new watch.
-Hopefully, you buy a few watches.
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.
Just make--
-Hello.
-Chrishell! Oh my God.
-Oh my gosh!
-I told you.
She didn't believe it was a hot pot party.
-She's--
-Really?
-Nice to see you again. Hi.
-Nice to see you too!
You guys! Look at this place!
Welcome.
Wow. That's really gorgeous.
-Hi! How are you?
-Hello!
How are you, gorgeous?
You look great.
-Everyone's wearing red today?
-Yes.
-I see.
-Isn't that what we were supposed to wear?
-Yes! Hi!
-Hi, ladies!
-Ooh.
-I'll get to you, Kane, in a second.
-Wow, look at this.
-Hey.
-How are you? Thanks for coming.
-Good.
Wait. Don't look at the girls first.
What do you think?
-You've not seen this place. They do.
-The girls match the house.
-What do you think?
-I would buy it.
-All right--
-You wanna buy it?
-I would.
-We can sell it to you.
-Chrishell and I are co-listing.
-She's listing it with you?
-We're co-listing.
-Cool.
-You guys wanna see the rest of it?
-Yes!
Let's see the master.
-Cute!
-Wow!
Kane, this is so much bigger
than I thought.
So different from before.
-It's so cute.
-It has--
-Oh my God, that's such a good picture.
-This is amazing.
You definitely will sell the house
after this. I'm just saying.
Four of you, come here.
I have a little surprise for you guys.
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Come in here. Open your eyes.
-What is it?
-I have something for you guys!
Surprise!
I don't need to use your chair anymore!
I'm always at his house using his chair.
-Oh yeah, this is very relaxing, yes.
-I'm gonna take a nap.
I've always wanted to do this,
like an Oprah moment.
You are so…
You get one. You get one.
You get none! No, I'm just kidding.
Can I pick which one I want?
Guys, Christine's coming in a while.
I don't have a chair for her but…
-Shh. Yeah.
-Oh. Okay.
I'm staying out of this one.
-Hi!
Christine?
Oh my God, how are you?
Oh my-- I love Mochinut.
-Oh, good.
-It's so good.
I invited Christine tonight because,
hey, maybe it's better
to know your enemies.
So this is my…
I kinda wanna keep the peace somehow,
and I don't want any bad vibes,
and, hopefully,
Christine doesn't bring them.
-Thanks for inviting me.
-Welcome.
We've been waiting for you.
Sit, sit, sit, sit.
The wounds have not completely healed
between me and Kane.
But I don't like drama,
so when he extended the olive branch,
I gladly accepted.
We're having hot pot today.
So, Kelly, you wanna explain
what hot pot means?
Hot pot is a dish that's popular
from Szechuan, southern part of China.
And it's very… like, it's communal.
So we share--
We cook the meat and vegetables inside.
-Cook your own food and have fun.
-Okay. I'm not a cook.
-But I feel like I can do this.
-You can cook this. This is easy.
-Have you never done this?
-No.
-You're Asian and never done this?
-I know!
But it's unfair because I wasn't raised
by my dad who is half Japanese.
-You're Asian?
-I wasn't--
I'm 25%.
-My dad is.
-Still Asian.
I was raised by white people, and I do it.
See, this is why I have to hang out more,
because I don't know this stuff.
-Actually, I'm gonna meet him next week.
-Who are you meeting next week?
-My biological dad for the first time.
-Shut up!
-Wow!
-Yeah, on Tuesday. So actually…
What's the first question
you're gonna ask him?
Um, "Where have you been
all my life?"
Chrishell, you have to tell me
all about Dancing with the Stars.
Oh my gosh, I know.
We didn't get a chance to talk yet.
-What do I do with this?
-You did so well on it.
You're
a way better dancer than me.
-I loved--
-You really are so good.
Christine, have you, um,
spoke to, um, Anna lately?
Is everything okay now?
No, no, things are not okay.
-Um…
Chrishell, since you kind of popped in
on this drama… And I'm so sorry about it.
I had received a call
from a trusted friend, who was just like,
"Hey, wanted you to know that
Anna is saying
you annoy the shit out of her."
"If you do one more thing,
she could end you."
"She wants to-- She could destroy you."
Gabe was there
the day I received the phone call
and heard the whole conversation.
And I just blurted it out to Kane.
-Yeah.
-I didn't know that it would pass around.
-It wasn't a passing around.
-I didn't know he'd tell somebody.
-It was passed around.
-It wasn't--
I was there, heard it on speakerphone.
I heard a… person
on the other end of the phone.
It was she could end me
or she would destroy me.
I thought you were
a trusted friend at that time.
So I didn't think that I was,
like, talking to Anna's best friend.
Okay, let's actually remove this
from Anna.
-We don't know if Anna said this.
-Right.
We really don't know.
-What we do know is it was said to me.
-Mm-hmm.
The information was passed to me,
and I didn't make it up.
Actually--
I only told Kane.
And then all of a sudden, everyone knew.
No, it was not… not…
Jaime lied to your face.
After this whole mess unraveled,
apparently, Jaime made the magazine editor
sign a nondisclosure agreement.
-So she couldn't comment on it further.
-What the fuck?
Maybe, hindsight,
you shouldn't have told me too,
because you knew that I had a friendship
with Anna, and by you telling me that,
it just was a bit manipulative
in that sense.
No, I--
-No.
-You cannot say it's, like, me gossiping.
Focus on selling real estate.
Don't be involved in this bullshit.
Yeah, exactly.
You won't say it, but I'll say it.
-Jaime's a liar. Anna wants to end you.
-Okay-- No, Gabe, stop.
-Let's not… let's not… let's not…
Uh, I have a very special performance
for you guys. It's, uh, noodle dancing.
-What?
-Yeah!
-Yeah.
-Hey.
He's flirting.
-Whoa!
-Whoo!
Yay!
Anyone up for noodle pulling? Let's do it!
-Should we try?
-Let's do it.
-Yeah.
-What are we doing?
This looks like sagging balls.
-All right.
-Look, it's sagging.
-Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow!
-Kevin?
-Yeah.
Thank you so much.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Good health.
-Ooh. It's lovely.
-Nice, huh?
Yeah.
So, what's going on?
I don't even know where to start.
Do you remember
when we were talking about Janice?
-I do.
-Yeah. You said to give her a shot?
-Mmm.
-Yeah, that didn't happen.
Maybe it's, like,
just better if we kind of, um,
just be like friends
or something, you know?
Seeing Kim's reaction,
I kinda just realized, like,
"I messed up
by going on a date with Janice."
I don't wanna interfere
with her healing process
and her journey in healing.
It's the least you can do for a friend,
just respect boundaries that way.
I wanna look at
the positives in this.
You seem to have recognized
that this relationship is not gonna work.
-Let me as you a question.
-Yeah.
A lot of folks feel like
they want to be in a relationship
because they're not comfortable being
in a relationship with themselves.
I've struggled with that.
Like, before I was sober, I thought
I needed a girlfriend or somebody…
to help me to get to that place,
emotionally stable, right?
But now I realize
I know I can do this on my own.
My life is full. I don't think I need
to be with someone right now.
You've grown, right?
I think so. I beli-- I feel it. Yeah.
You're in sobriety.
You are… coming up on six years?
-Yeah.
-Massive. Right?
I think there's a massive shift internally
between five and ten.
You really kind of realize,
"Whoa, the world is my oyster."
It is gonna be fireworks.
Opportunities are gonna just open up.
I think you're right. I have a lot
of good things happening in my life.
I'm finally getting settled in.
Like, I'm making new friends
outside of my original friend group.
I'm gonna get my own car.
It's my first car ever, owning.
-Ever in life?
-I'm buying a car.
-Wow, you see? The gifts of sobriety.
-I know.
So it's like… it's a big deal, you know?
And then I'll go to New York with Kane.
Oh my God,
meet my first cousin for the first time.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
She literally reached out
from the DNA test and said…
"Hey, we're cousins."
That's crazy.
I'm looking for my birth parents,
so I took this DNA test and stuff.
-Yeah.
-I have a cousin in New York.
Dude, that's amazing.
Like, I am…
seeing blood relatives
in front of me for the first time.
Beautiful, dude. That chokes me up.
Being adopted and being Asian
really made me curious about who I am,
where do I fit in,
and how does this all work in the world?
Even if it's just a cousin,
we can talk about the leads that we have
and discovering if there's other members
of the family spread out in the USA.
Meet a cousin first, maybe a crazy uncle,
dead grandfather,
alive grandfather, then my parents.
The more we put our hands on the wheel,
right hand is fear, left hand is ego.
And sometimes we just hold the wheel
with our pinkies,
but we can still navigate.
That doesn't sound like a good idea.
-It's not--
-Unless it's an automatic driving car.
-Unless it's a Tesla.
-Yeah, unless it's--
So how is dancing?
Are you excited for Baby G
to come and see the show?
Um, it's kind of weird,
like, dancing, like, a seduction…
Yeah.
…passionate tango dance
with some strange man.
I get it.
-I don't wanna confuse Baby G.
-Yeah.
We're trying to, like, work in the concept
that Mama doesn't just dance with Dada.
Yeah.
-You have dancing friends.
He'll get it when he gets older.
You should just keep doing you.
Have fun with dancing.
Don't worry about the rest.
Yee. Well, I definitely need
to stretch more because,
ooh, it's a lot harder
than I thought it was going to be.
-Yeah, I bet.
-It's hours and hours of rehearsal.
I feel like I have,
like, an old lady body.
Are you crazy?
Have you seen your abs?
I can't even touch my toes anymore.
I'm having such a great time
on Dancing with the Stars.
And it's been a dream.
Embarrassingly, I've been asking
every single person I know,
like every person,
to come to
the Dancing with the Stars taping.
I was just cast on Dancing with the Stars.
-What?
-Yeah.
Christine, that's awesome!
It would mean the world to me
if you could make it out.
I gotta see my girl
on the dance floor!
Yeah. Oh my gosh, so exciting.
Yeah, of course, babe.
-Oh, thank you.
- Of course, I coming.
No way!
-I know.
- Oh my God! This is huge.
If you fall on your face, whatever,
I'll still applaud for you.
Everyone has been so sweet and supportive.
It's so, like, refreshing.
I would love to come,
but I gotta check my schedule.
I've just been really busy
with traveling and work.
Even if I'm not there,
I will root for you from wherever I'm at.
There has been
such unnecessary bickering.
It would be so nice
to put things kind of behind us.
Hi!
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-How are you feeling? How is it going?
-How sore am I?
How sore are you?
-Scale of one to ten?
-Mentally.
Oh, mentally?
Ooh. Mentally.
Um…
I'm ready to kick ass. I think.
Right?
Over the shoulder!
Thank you!
Dancing the salsa
with her partner, Pasha,
it's Christine Chiu.
Wow, Christine,
you have great hip action.
You know how to use it,
and it adds a progressive--
It can feel a little stiff.
It's just the consistency.
Let's get your score.
Bruno Tonioli, six.
Thank you.
That's 24 which means
Christine and Pasha are in the bottom two.
Are we ready?
It is time for the judges' vote.
I'm gonna save…
Christine and Pasha.
Okay.
Christine and Pasha are safe.
-All right.
-Thank you so much.
We're here. Whoo!
-No more Ubers, please.
-None.
-Kevin?
-What?
-Take picture.
-Yo! Get off the car!
-Let's do it.
-Get off the car.
-Let's do it. Picture!
-They gotta sell the car.
Oh my God, Kane.
That's like me wearing shoes
in your dad's house.
Now it's worth more.
I'm in Philadelphia
with my buddy Kane.
Welcome to my father's empire.
Hello, Daddy.
I'm going to actually buy a car…
from my family for the first time ever.
After the dealership,
we're gonna go to New York
and meet a cousin for the first time.
And then from New York, Kane and I,
we're gonna do a buddy road trip
and take it back to LA, to my new home.
-This is Kane. This is my dad.
-Hi, sir. How are you doing?
-This is my brother, Luke.
-Luke, what's up?
-Nice to meet you.
-To be clear, this is our empire.
-This is Luke and my empire.
-Their empire.
This is their car empire.
-You guys look so alike. No, I'm joking.
-So…
What are you talking about?
This is great. How long
have you had, um, this dealership?
Uh, since 1979.
He started off as a mechanic.
-Nice.
-Yep.
I remember being a little kid,
and my dad would have
a different car every day going to school.
-That's nice.
-And they would say we're "rich."
I was like, we're not rich.
He's got to sell this car.
We're gonna look for something for me
that's in my budget.
-You saw--
-You know your budget?
-I'll know it when I see it.
-Okay.
Most people judge…
their bank account judges it.
They judge
their bank account first.
-Can you show us?
-Sure.
-Let's do it.
-Yeah.
The old person special.
-No, no, no.
-All the safety stuff.
-Are we gonna drive back to LA?
-Yeah.
-No way.
-Yeah.
-I drove across the country in an RV.
-You did too.
-It took him two months to get back.
-Two months?
I promise we'll get back faster
than two months.
-I'm gonna charter a jet.
All right, let's go shopping.
-This one's cool.
-That's a cool car.
-I know you wanted a Mustang.
-Let's try this.
Let me see how it feels.
-No, no.
-Oh!
-Damn! Look at that sound!
-No. Wait, wait, wait.
The brake. Put the brake on!
Shit. Okay, put the brake on? Got it.
I didn't know I was moving.
-Shit!
-Um, can you move?
Whoo!
Oh Jesus.
Actually, it suits him.
Despite my family being
in the car business,
I have no clue what I'm doing in a car.
-Was he a good driver growing up?
-No.
I just know that
as long as it takes me where I need to,
I'm good.
-My God.
-I can't believe you found reverse!
-So--
-Yeah, what's the next one?
-You wanna look at more of these?
-Uh--
I think that's too fast for you.
The blue Tesla.
-That's not bad.
-Get this. Long range.
Ooh!
-I am liking this one.
-Fully electric.
-Yep.
-It's so simple.
The industry ten years ago. Is it even on?
Is this on?
-Are you in drive?
-It's so quiet. Is it even on?
-Wow! This car.
-See, it chose you, you idiot.
What attracted me
to the white Tesla is that it was sporty,
it looked like an iPhone but on wheels.
I mean, it's super cool.
This is so good, dude.
I'll take it.
What are you gonna name…
The first name that came to my head
was Sheila for some reason.
I hate the name fucking Sheila.
-You don't like Sheila? Uh…
-Sounds like a bad secretary.
I'll name it Taejun.
-Yeah. Oh, great.
-Taejun, my middle name.
-Let's do this. I wanna do this with you.
-Okay.
-Let's do this.
-Congrats.
-All right, I appreciate it.
-Yes, it's a deal. It's a handshake.
We'll go do the paperwork.
As weird as this sounds,
getting this new car really feels
like a new start for me.
First… car… ever.
I'm gonna keep pushing.
I'm gonna keep hustling,
but nothing's gonna stop me and Taejun.
Safe trip.
See you later, guys. Be careful.
Oh my God, it's so fast.
Oh, brake, brake, brake!
Fuck, dude. Dude. Fuck!
-Any headaches or anything?
-I feel sick.
Oh my gosh.
-I don't have any audio.
-I know. It's okay.
You need to learn
how to drive again.
Dude, I did drive!
Look, I stopped.
I can't help it if the guy speeds,
and I didn't see him this last time.
Okay. Hey, what's up?
Oh my gosh.
-You are gonna get a citation. Okay?
-Okay.
Dude, no road trip.
It's okay, forget the road trip.
You're fine.
-Don't beat yourself too hard.
-I know, but I can't help it.
Do you know how excited
I was to start driving in Los Angeles?
-I know.
-Seeing people--
I feel sick.
Mimi decided to plan
a girls' weekend together.
Thank you, Argo.
Wow.
And she got
the Invisible House in Joshua Tree.
The house is a 21-story skyscraper,
I guess, except it's on the side.
-Hey, Kelly.
-Oh my God. Where is this place?
-Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful.
-I know, right?
This is like Breaking Bad.
We're gonna make some meth.
Hello.
-Hey.
-Wow.
-Hi.
-This is like a party house.
I feel like we needed this vacation.
This is so nice.
We're out in the middle of nowhere.
This is so cool.
-Look who's here.
-Seriously?
Something around here.
Oh, just over there.
Yeah, I'm gonna just get out, yeah.
Okay, that's good. That's good. Okay.
-That's good. Stop, stop, stop.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Hi.
After Skyler's birthday party,
Mimi and I had, really, a heart-to-heart.
So I am looking forward to this trip.
-Oh my gosh, what's happening?
-You look so cute.
I'm surprised Christine is here.
Oh my,
what are you guys doing?
Is this like a desert nap?
I heard that
she almost got voted off last week,
so I feel like
she should be practicing or something.
But I just really hope it's gonna be
a peaceful weekend and drama-free.
Let's go, guys.
What should I do
with my luggage? I have two back there.
-Have you been here?
-Yeah, this is Chinatown, man.
-So what do you do here?
-You eat.
I think I'm gonna just eat
my emotions away today.
-You should. You deserve it.
-I know.
-They're gonna pick your car up.
-This is traumatic.
-Every time you hear a siren.
You sleep well?
Awful. I couldn't sleep after last night.
-Any, like, whiplash?
-Mm.
-You okay?
-A little tense right here.
I feel…
…like I just got sideswiped.
I should know
'cause I literally just got sideswiped.
I really saw that car as like a symbol
of all the hard work, all the sacrifice.
I thought I'd come here with my new car,
show that, like,
I'm really doing something good
with my life in the world.
-Right? I let down my family, I feel like.
-And you totaled it.
Remember, the first thing
your mom said to you was…
"Are you okay?"
She didn't care about the car.
But you did, technically, get the car.
Right? You technically paid for it.
Yeah, but I totaled it.
At least you got it,
you know, it's attainable.
Dude, we were supposed
to go on a road trip too.
-I fucked that up for us.
-Think about the good stuff.
You got to see your family.
That's important.
You'll be meeting your cousin tomorrow,
and that's such a great thing.
I'm happy our friendship's better.
-I mean, we're not like best friends--
-We aren't?
We're getting closer. Okay.
You can be my best friend if you try this.
It's not cut open.
Can you cut this open for me?
How much is one?
Are there any smaller? This one?
Please, choose one for me.
If you eat this,
we're gonna be true friends.
The durian is actually called
the king of all fruits in Asia.
It's one of the hardest fruits to procure.
It really stinks, but when you taste it,
it's the most creamiest,
like, cream puff custard you ever tasted.
It's amazing.
Okay. Bon appétit.
Ew, I don't like the way it feels.
Smell it.
-It's--
-Try it, try it, try it.
No! Don't put the whole thing in.
-Okay. Bite it.
Try it.
-It's good. Right? Wait. Taste it.
It's good. It's good.
It's good. It's good.
No, no, no, no! No, it's $60.
Eat it, eat it.
-No, for you.
-Are you pretending?
Where's he going with it?
Why did he just leave?
-Does he work--
-I don't think he works here.
I don't think he works here either.
-Kelly.
-You look so cute.
I smelled the food, like,
when I was getting ready.
-I got really hungry.
-Good. We got lots of food for you.
Okay, awesome.
Babe.
Mimi.
I'm hungry, babe.
Hi, Mimi.
Christine, dinner's ready.
Oh my gosh, it's, like… it's
a really long walk all the way over here.
-I know, right?
-Working up my appetite.
-Want something to drink?
-No.
I'm gonna stick with my, uh, spritzer
over there on the table.
Kelly can drink enough for all of us.
-Okay.
-Ready?
-Should we sit down?
-Yeah, let's sit down.
What are our goals for this trip?
So no boyfriend.
No husband. No kids.
We have your first course.
-Thank you.
-Lamb gochujang meatballs.
I'm actually allergic to lamb.
-Oh no.
-Sorry. The next looks good.
-Let me take that.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Congratulation for Christine.
-Aw!
-Dancing with the Stars.
-Congrats.
Thank you.
You good, babe. I saw the second one.
You really good.
-Mm.
-You moving much softer, more relaxing.
Okay.
-More than the first one.
-Thanks.
You better and better and better.
Well, my score got worse.
-Huh?
-But it's a salsa. You have to move.
-Tango you're more in the frame.
-It's sexy.
-I like it. Next time you teach me.
-Yeah, right.
I am barely hanging on, you guys.
Please go out and vote.
I was in the bottom two.
I need more support.
I'm gonna grab more drinks.
Do you want more drinks?
I was on the fence on
whether or not I should come on this trip.
Only Kevin and Mimi came to support me
on Dancing with the Stars.
Kelly was so busy,
couldn't spare an extra second,
but here she is having
this easy-breezy, relaxing girls' weekend
out in the middle of nowhere.
But here I am.
In the middle of nowhere
with my so-called friends.
-I'm so blessed that we are friends.
-I know.
By the end of the day,
the most important thing is
you have the friend around you.
We'll be there for you, for good and bad.
-LA--
-That's all that matters.
LA, it's very hard to find good friends.
When you're super successful,
who gravitates towards you?
What are their intentions?
What do they bring or take away?
-When you--
-Very hard.
Yeah.
You know, Kane's told me
that Christine has lied to all of us.
I mean, there's Christine versus Anna,
Christine versus Kane,
Christine versus Jaime,
Christine versus Mimi.
You know… she's caused so much issues,
and I'm Kane's really good friend.
I just don't wanna support somebody
who is spreading lies and hurting Kane.
So, cheers to Leah.
I'm really kind of nervous
to meet my cousin for the first time
because she could not actually show up.
Maybe I got catfished.
Or maybe she'll actually be able
to help me find my birth family.
Sarah?
-Oh my God.
-Hi!
-What's up?
-Oh my God.
-Hi.
It's really bizarre
in such a good way.
-Oh my God.
-Wow.
-Oh my God.
-Look at you.
-Look at you.
-Can I touch this?
-Yeah.
It feels like my hair. Touch my hair.
Oh my God. This is so crazy.
-This is really nice.
-You're the first relative.
You're the first relative
that I haven't birthed.
But I feel like I'm looking
into the future.
I feel like I can see my kids.
Aw.
I don't think you realize, like…
It's been so hard
to find anything, you know?
-Just--
-I know.
-I can't believe it.
-I can't either.
-I just wanna like stare at you.
-I know.
I don't know enough words
in the English dictionary
to probably describe
how awkwardly exciting
it is to meet my cousin.
I thought I could just talk to her
about finding my birth parents.
But there's a feeling that
it's almost like somebody turned
a little flicker switch in the dark.
You don't feel like you're alone.
You can see something.
It's there in front of you and just…
It feels like it was just meant to be.
My friends in LA really helped a lot
to feel really good about being Asian.
But yeah, it was really hard finding,
like, my identity the last few years.
I understand that.
I didn't want to for a long time.
I didn't want to because I didn't want
to acknowledge that there was anything
different, and I just wanted
to fly under the radar and assimilate.
-I'm proud of it now.
-Yeah.
But… I'm 46.
-It took me 46 years.
-It's just the beginning, I think.
-I think so too.
Like, you feel like family.
-That sounds weird.
-Yeah.
-It's not weird.
-It's really weird.
My kids would love to meet you.
-My husband.
-I'd love to meet your family.
-Oh my God, he's not gonna get jealous?
-No, you're a cousin!
-I know, but he might not… might forget.
-No. No.
-He's like, "Oh my God, he's so charming."
-"He's so charming."
So just a confession.
I did make out with a cousin once.
-I did too.
-You did too?
-That's really embarrassing.
-We are cousins.
I knew it.
-I'm totally embarrassed.
-Yeah.
-I did too.
-You already got my deep, dark secret.
-I know.
-That was too easy.
-I didn't think I was gonna tell anybody.
-Me neither.
I really have never talked about it.
I really didn't expect that I would feel
anything when I was going to meet you.
I thought it'd be like, "Okay, cool."
-Check that off my list.
-Right.
"Here's all the information
I found out about my parents."
-Yeah.
-"Here's something useful."
And then it's like…
No, like…
-This.
-I know!
-It's very windy.
-Yes.
-This is like symbolic.
-Of our life?
-Yeah, we were--
-Going against the wind.
Going against the wind!
-Must… keep…
-I know.
…finding… family!
-Ha.
Hmm.
-Guys.
Burning!
Hello.
Hello. I--
You look cute.
So do you. I love your sweatshirt.
-Okay, I brought these over.
-Okay.
For a little unboxing.
Okay.
-Yeah. So where should we do it?
-Here?
-Here? Yeah?
-Yeah.
Fashion is truly what I care most about.
I've been featured
in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle.
It's definitely not
the traditional career path
for what Asian parents want
their children to be pursuing.
I wouldn't call myself an influencer.
I'm a person…
that… likes fashion and does things.
It was $2,700.
Only for Chanel do we pay
almost $3,000 after tax for a T-shirt.
The biggest Birkin I have is 30,
but I still don't use them.
They're sitting in their dust bags.
I need to make sure you can't see my… my…
-Yes.
-…vagina.
Put your legs that way.
-I don't need the whole video--
-Yes.
You can see everything.
Stuff you don't need to be seeing.
Okay. Welcome to a new video.
So for today's unboxing,
we have a special guest.
-The one and only Anna Shay.
-Don't.
Anna, are you excited
for your first unboxing?
Yes. Confused but excited.
So, Anna, I have my knife,
and I will let you start.
For our first package, we have tissue.
Oh my God!
-This is the smallest purse in the world.
It's like a baby and a mommy.
This is too cute.
You can probably squish in
a $100 bill if you wanted to.
It's actually quite practical.
-You can fit two pieces of candy.
-Oh my--
-Is this a bear?
-Yes, but in your case, this is a dress.
What--
-Now we have a duffel bag.
-Duffel bag.
-What's that?
-This is amazing.
I'm like--
Last one.
Okay. Don't you need some water?
-You're not thirsty?
-No. I cut back.
On water too?
-So Anna has hers on backwards.
-Backwards.
Shoulders are a little large.
The shoulders are a little large.
You have to probably do alterations,
but we all have good tailors, so…
Okay, perfect. That's it.
So that is how we do it.
You are so cute at this.
I like how we wore things,
like, different ways.
I really think it's important
that people create their own style.
Right, so that you have to really wear
and own the clothes.
-And the clothes can't wear you.
-Can't wear you.
Yeah, a lot of times,
people let the clothes wear them.
You have to wear the clothes.
Yes. In this case, I do believe
my shoulder pads are wearing me.
So tonight, Joel,
we're doing a pre… like, listing party.
Yeah.
Actually, I'm really excited
for Chrishell to see it. Because she…
she would know whether this
actually would sell for what I want, so…
-Hopefully.
-So I can buy a new watch.
-Hopefully, you buy a few watches.
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.
Just make--
-Hello.
-Chrishell! Oh my God.
-Oh my gosh!
-I told you.
She didn't believe it was a hot pot party.
-She's--
-Really?
-Nice to see you again. Hi.
-Nice to see you too!
You guys! Look at this place!
Welcome.
Wow. That's really gorgeous.
-Hi! How are you?
-Hello!
How are you, gorgeous?
You look great.
-Everyone's wearing red today?
-Yes.
-I see.
-Isn't that what we were supposed to wear?
-Yes! Hi!
-Hi, ladies!
-Ooh.
-I'll get to you, Kane, in a second.
-Wow, look at this.
-Hey.
-How are you? Thanks for coming.
-Good.
Wait. Don't look at the girls first.
What do you think?
-You've not seen this place. They do.
-The girls match the house.
-What do you think?
-I would buy it.
-All right--
-You wanna buy it?
-I would.
-We can sell it to you.
-Chrishell and I are co-listing.
-She's listing it with you?
-We're co-listing.
-Cool.
-You guys wanna see the rest of it?
-Yes!
Let's see the master.
-Cute!
-Wow!
Kane, this is so much bigger
than I thought.
So different from before.
-It's so cute.
-It has--
-Oh my God, that's such a good picture.
-This is amazing.
You definitely will sell the house
after this. I'm just saying.
Four of you, come here.
I have a little surprise for you guys.
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Come in here. Open your eyes.
-What is it?
-I have something for you guys!
Surprise!
I don't need to use your chair anymore!
I'm always at his house using his chair.
-Oh yeah, this is very relaxing, yes.
-I'm gonna take a nap.
I've always wanted to do this,
like an Oprah moment.
You are so…
You get one. You get one.
You get none! No, I'm just kidding.
Can I pick which one I want?
Guys, Christine's coming in a while.
I don't have a chair for her but…
-Shh. Yeah.
-Oh. Okay.
I'm staying out of this one.
-Hi!
Christine?
Oh my God, how are you?
Oh my-- I love Mochinut.
-Oh, good.
-It's so good.
I invited Christine tonight because,
hey, maybe it's better
to know your enemies.
So this is my…
I kinda wanna keep the peace somehow,
and I don't want any bad vibes,
and, hopefully,
Christine doesn't bring them.
-Thanks for inviting me.
-Welcome.
We've been waiting for you.
Sit, sit, sit, sit.
The wounds have not completely healed
between me and Kane.
But I don't like drama,
so when he extended the olive branch,
I gladly accepted.
We're having hot pot today.
So, Kelly, you wanna explain
what hot pot means?
Hot pot is a dish that's popular
from Szechuan, southern part of China.
And it's very… like, it's communal.
So we share--
We cook the meat and vegetables inside.
-Cook your own food and have fun.
-Okay. I'm not a cook.
-But I feel like I can do this.
-You can cook this. This is easy.
-Have you never done this?
-No.
-You're Asian and never done this?
-I know!
But it's unfair because I wasn't raised
by my dad who is half Japanese.
-You're Asian?
-I wasn't--
I'm 25%.
-My dad is.
-Still Asian.
I was raised by white people, and I do it.
See, this is why I have to hang out more,
because I don't know this stuff.
-Actually, I'm gonna meet him next week.
-Who are you meeting next week?
-My biological dad for the first time.
-Shut up!
-Wow!
-Yeah, on Tuesday. So actually…
What's the first question
you're gonna ask him?
Um, "Where have you been
all my life?"
Chrishell, you have to tell me
all about Dancing with the Stars.
Oh my gosh, I know.
We didn't get a chance to talk yet.
-What do I do with this?
-You did so well on it.
You're
a way better dancer than me.
-I loved--
-You really are so good.
Christine, have you, um,
spoke to, um, Anna lately?
Is everything okay now?
No, no, things are not okay.
-Um…
Chrishell, since you kind of popped in
on this drama… And I'm so sorry about it.
I had received a call
from a trusted friend, who was just like,
"Hey, wanted you to know that
Anna is saying
you annoy the shit out of her."
"If you do one more thing,
she could end you."
"She wants to-- She could destroy you."
Gabe was there
the day I received the phone call
and heard the whole conversation.
And I just blurted it out to Kane.
-Yeah.
-I didn't know that it would pass around.
-It wasn't a passing around.
-I didn't know he'd tell somebody.
-It was passed around.
-It wasn't--
I was there, heard it on speakerphone.
I heard a… person
on the other end of the phone.
It was she could end me
or she would destroy me.
I thought you were
a trusted friend at that time.
So I didn't think that I was,
like, talking to Anna's best friend.
Okay, let's actually remove this
from Anna.
-We don't know if Anna said this.
-Right.
We really don't know.
-What we do know is it was said to me.
-Mm-hmm.
The information was passed to me,
and I didn't make it up.
Actually--
I only told Kane.
And then all of a sudden, everyone knew.
No, it was not… not…
Jaime lied to your face.
After this whole mess unraveled,
apparently, Jaime made the magazine editor
sign a nondisclosure agreement.
-So she couldn't comment on it further.
-What the fuck?
Maybe, hindsight,
you shouldn't have told me too,
because you knew that I had a friendship
with Anna, and by you telling me that,
it just was a bit manipulative
in that sense.
No, I--
-No.
-You cannot say it's, like, me gossiping.
Focus on selling real estate.
Don't be involved in this bullshit.
Yeah, exactly.
You won't say it, but I'll say it.
-Jaime's a liar. Anna wants to end you.
-Okay-- No, Gabe, stop.
-Let's not… let's not… let's not…
Uh, I have a very special performance
for you guys. It's, uh, noodle dancing.
-What?
-Yeah!
-Yeah.
-Hey.
He's flirting.
-Whoa!
-Whoo!
Yay!
Anyone up for noodle pulling? Let's do it!
-Should we try?
-Let's do it.
-Yeah.
-What are we doing?
This looks like sagging balls.
-All right.
-Look, it's sagging.
-Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow!
-Kevin?
-Yeah.
Thank you so much.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Good health.
-Ooh. It's lovely.
-Nice, huh?
Yeah.
So, what's going on?
I don't even know where to start.
Do you remember
when we were talking about Janice?
-I do.
-Yeah. You said to give her a shot?
-Mmm.
-Yeah, that didn't happen.
Maybe it's, like,
just better if we kind of, um,
just be like friends
or something, you know?
Seeing Kim's reaction,
I kinda just realized, like,
"I messed up
by going on a date with Janice."
I don't wanna interfere
with her healing process
and her journey in healing.
It's the least you can do for a friend,
just respect boundaries that way.
I wanna look at
the positives in this.
You seem to have recognized
that this relationship is not gonna work.
-Let me as you a question.
-Yeah.
A lot of folks feel like
they want to be in a relationship
because they're not comfortable being
in a relationship with themselves.
I've struggled with that.
Like, before I was sober, I thought
I needed a girlfriend or somebody…
to help me to get to that place,
emotionally stable, right?
But now I realize
I know I can do this on my own.
My life is full. I don't think I need
to be with someone right now.
You've grown, right?
I think so. I beli-- I feel it. Yeah.
You're in sobriety.
You are… coming up on six years?
-Yeah.
-Massive. Right?
I think there's a massive shift internally
between five and ten.
You really kind of realize,
"Whoa, the world is my oyster."
It is gonna be fireworks.
Opportunities are gonna just open up.
I think you're right. I have a lot
of good things happening in my life.
I'm finally getting settled in.
Like, I'm making new friends
outside of my original friend group.
I'm gonna get my own car.
It's my first car ever, owning.
-Ever in life?
-I'm buying a car.
-Wow, you see? The gifts of sobriety.
-I know.
So it's like… it's a big deal, you know?
And then I'll go to New York with Kane.
Oh my God,
meet my first cousin for the first time.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
She literally reached out
from the DNA test and said…
"Hey, we're cousins."
That's crazy.
I'm looking for my birth parents,
so I took this DNA test and stuff.
-Yeah.
-I have a cousin in New York.
Dude, that's amazing.
Like, I am…
seeing blood relatives
in front of me for the first time.
Beautiful, dude. That chokes me up.
Being adopted and being Asian
really made me curious about who I am,
where do I fit in,
and how does this all work in the world?
Even if it's just a cousin,
we can talk about the leads that we have
and discovering if there's other members
of the family spread out in the USA.
Meet a cousin first, maybe a crazy uncle,
dead grandfather,
alive grandfather, then my parents.
The more we put our hands on the wheel,
right hand is fear, left hand is ego.
And sometimes we just hold the wheel
with our pinkies,
but we can still navigate.
That doesn't sound like a good idea.
-It's not--
-Unless it's an automatic driving car.
-Unless it's a Tesla.
-Yeah, unless it's--
So how is dancing?
Are you excited for Baby G
to come and see the show?
Um, it's kind of weird,
like, dancing, like, a seduction…
Yeah.
…passionate tango dance
with some strange man.
I get it.
-I don't wanna confuse Baby G.
-Yeah.
We're trying to, like, work in the concept
that Mama doesn't just dance with Dada.
Yeah.
-You have dancing friends.
He'll get it when he gets older.
You should just keep doing you.
Have fun with dancing.
Don't worry about the rest.
Yee. Well, I definitely need
to stretch more because,
ooh, it's a lot harder
than I thought it was going to be.
-Yeah, I bet.
-It's hours and hours of rehearsal.
I feel like I have,
like, an old lady body.
Are you crazy?
Have you seen your abs?
I can't even touch my toes anymore.
I'm having such a great time
on Dancing with the Stars.
And it's been a dream.
Embarrassingly, I've been asking
every single person I know,
like every person,
to come to
the Dancing with the Stars taping.
I was just cast on Dancing with the Stars.
-What?
-Yeah.
Christine, that's awesome!
It would mean the world to me
if you could make it out.
I gotta see my girl
on the dance floor!
Yeah. Oh my gosh, so exciting.
Yeah, of course, babe.
-Oh, thank you.
- Of course, I coming.
No way!
-I know.
- Oh my God! This is huge.
If you fall on your face, whatever,
I'll still applaud for you.
Everyone has been so sweet and supportive.
It's so, like, refreshing.
I would love to come,
but I gotta check my schedule.
I've just been really busy
with traveling and work.
Even if I'm not there,
I will root for you from wherever I'm at.
There has been
such unnecessary bickering.
It would be so nice
to put things kind of behind us.
Hi!
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
-How are you feeling? How is it going?
-How sore am I?
How sore are you?
-Scale of one to ten?
-Mentally.
Oh, mentally?
Ooh. Mentally.
Um…
I'm ready to kick ass. I think.
Right?
Over the shoulder!
Thank you!
Dancing the salsa
with her partner, Pasha,
it's Christine Chiu.
Wow, Christine,
you have great hip action.
You know how to use it,
and it adds a progressive--
It can feel a little stiff.
It's just the consistency.
Let's get your score.
Bruno Tonioli, six.
Thank you.
That's 24 which means
Christine and Pasha are in the bottom two.
Are we ready?
It is time for the judges' vote.
I'm gonna save…
Christine and Pasha.
Okay.
Christine and Pasha are safe.
-All right.
-Thank you so much.
We're here. Whoo!
-No more Ubers, please.
-None.
-Kevin?
-What?
-Take picture.
-Yo! Get off the car!
-Let's do it.
-Get off the car.
-Let's do it. Picture!
-They gotta sell the car.
Oh my God, Kane.
That's like me wearing shoes
in your dad's house.
Now it's worth more.
I'm in Philadelphia
with my buddy Kane.
Welcome to my father's empire.
Hello, Daddy.
I'm going to actually buy a car…
from my family for the first time ever.
After the dealership,
we're gonna go to New York
and meet a cousin for the first time.
And then from New York, Kane and I,
we're gonna do a buddy road trip
and take it back to LA, to my new home.
-This is Kane. This is my dad.
-Hi, sir. How are you doing?
-This is my brother, Luke.
-Luke, what's up?
-Nice to meet you.
-To be clear, this is our empire.
-This is Luke and my empire.
-Their empire.
This is their car empire.
-You guys look so alike. No, I'm joking.
-So…
What are you talking about?
This is great. How long
have you had, um, this dealership?
Uh, since 1979.
He started off as a mechanic.
-Nice.
-Yep.
I remember being a little kid,
and my dad would have
a different car every day going to school.
-That's nice.
-And they would say we're "rich."
I was like, we're not rich.
He's got to sell this car.
We're gonna look for something for me
that's in my budget.
-You saw--
-You know your budget?
-I'll know it when I see it.
-Okay.
Most people judge…
their bank account judges it.
They judge
their bank account first.
-Can you show us?
-Sure.
-Let's do it.
-Yeah.
The old person special.
-No, no, no.
-All the safety stuff.
-Are we gonna drive back to LA?
-Yeah.
-No way.
-Yeah.
-I drove across the country in an RV.
-You did too.
-It took him two months to get back.
-Two months?
I promise we'll get back faster
than two months.
-I'm gonna charter a jet.
All right, let's go shopping.
-This one's cool.
-That's a cool car.
-I know you wanted a Mustang.
-Let's try this.
Let me see how it feels.
-No, no.
-Oh!
-Damn! Look at that sound!
-No. Wait, wait, wait.
The brake. Put the brake on!
Shit. Okay, put the brake on? Got it.
I didn't know I was moving.
-Shit!
-Um, can you move?
Whoo!
Oh Jesus.
Actually, it suits him.
Despite my family being
in the car business,
I have no clue what I'm doing in a car.
-Was he a good driver growing up?
-No.
I just know that
as long as it takes me where I need to,
I'm good.
-My God.
-I can't believe you found reverse!
-So--
-Yeah, what's the next one?
-You wanna look at more of these?
-Uh--
I think that's too fast for you.
The blue Tesla.
-That's not bad.
-Get this. Long range.
Ooh!
-I am liking this one.
-Fully electric.
-Yep.
-It's so simple.
The industry ten years ago. Is it even on?
Is this on?
-Are you in drive?
-It's so quiet. Is it even on?
-Wow! This car.
-See, it chose you, you idiot.
What attracted me
to the white Tesla is that it was sporty,
it looked like an iPhone but on wheels.
I mean, it's super cool.
This is so good, dude.
I'll take it.
What are you gonna name…
The first name that came to my head
was Sheila for some reason.
I hate the name fucking Sheila.
-You don't like Sheila? Uh…
-Sounds like a bad secretary.
I'll name it Taejun.
-Yeah. Oh, great.
-Taejun, my middle name.
-Let's do this. I wanna do this with you.
-Okay.
-Let's do this.
-Congrats.
-All right, I appreciate it.
-Yes, it's a deal. It's a handshake.
We'll go do the paperwork.
As weird as this sounds,
getting this new car really feels
like a new start for me.
First… car… ever.
I'm gonna keep pushing.
I'm gonna keep hustling,
but nothing's gonna stop me and Taejun.
Safe trip.
See you later, guys. Be careful.
Oh my God, it's so fast.
Oh, brake, brake, brake!
Fuck, dude. Dude. Fuck!
-Any headaches or anything?
-I feel sick.
Oh my gosh.
-I don't have any audio.
-I know. It's okay.
You need to learn
how to drive again.
Dude, I did drive!
Look, I stopped.
I can't help it if the guy speeds,
and I didn't see him this last time.
Okay. Hey, what's up?
Oh my gosh.
-You are gonna get a citation. Okay?
-Okay.
Dude, no road trip.
It's okay, forget the road trip.
You're fine.
-Don't beat yourself too hard.
-I know, but I can't help it.
Do you know how excited
I was to start driving in Los Angeles?
-I know.
-Seeing people--
I feel sick.
Mimi decided to plan
a girls' weekend together.
Thank you, Argo.
Wow.
And she got
the Invisible House in Joshua Tree.
The house is a 21-story skyscraper,
I guess, except it's on the side.
-Hey, Kelly.
-Oh my God. Where is this place?
-Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful.
-I know, right?
This is like Breaking Bad.
We're gonna make some meth.
Hello.
-Hey.
-Wow.
-Hi.
-This is like a party house.
I feel like we needed this vacation.
This is so nice.
We're out in the middle of nowhere.
This is so cool.
-Look who's here.
-Seriously?
Something around here.
Oh, just over there.
Yeah, I'm gonna just get out, yeah.
Okay, that's good. That's good. Okay.
-That's good. Stop, stop, stop.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Hi.
After Skyler's birthday party,
Mimi and I had, really, a heart-to-heart.
So I am looking forward to this trip.
-Oh my gosh, what's happening?
-You look so cute.
I'm surprised Christine is here.
Oh my,
what are you guys doing?
Is this like a desert nap?
I heard that
she almost got voted off last week,
so I feel like
she should be practicing or something.
But I just really hope it's gonna be
a peaceful weekend and drama-free.
Let's go, guys.
What should I do
with my luggage? I have two back there.
-Have you been here?
-Yeah, this is Chinatown, man.
-So what do you do here?
-You eat.
I think I'm gonna just eat
my emotions away today.
-You should. You deserve it.
-I know.
-They're gonna pick your car up.
-This is traumatic.
-Every time you hear a siren.
You sleep well?
Awful. I couldn't sleep after last night.
-Any, like, whiplash?
-Mm.
-You okay?
-A little tense right here.
I feel…
…like I just got sideswiped.
I should know
'cause I literally just got sideswiped.
I really saw that car as like a symbol
of all the hard work, all the sacrifice.
I thought I'd come here with my new car,
show that, like,
I'm really doing something good
with my life in the world.
-Right? I let down my family, I feel like.
-And you totaled it.
Remember, the first thing
your mom said to you was…
"Are you okay?"
She didn't care about the car.
But you did, technically, get the car.
Right? You technically paid for it.
Yeah, but I totaled it.
At least you got it,
you know, it's attainable.
Dude, we were supposed
to go on a road trip too.
-I fucked that up for us.
-Think about the good stuff.
You got to see your family.
That's important.
You'll be meeting your cousin tomorrow,
and that's such a great thing.
I'm happy our friendship's better.
-I mean, we're not like best friends--
-We aren't?
We're getting closer. Okay.
You can be my best friend if you try this.
It's not cut open.
Can you cut this open for me?
How much is one?
Are there any smaller? This one?
Please, choose one for me.
If you eat this,
we're gonna be true friends.
The durian is actually called
the king of all fruits in Asia.
It's one of the hardest fruits to procure.
It really stinks, but when you taste it,
it's the most creamiest,
like, cream puff custard you ever tasted.
It's amazing.
Okay. Bon appétit.
Ew, I don't like the way it feels.
Smell it.
-It's--
-Try it, try it, try it.
No! Don't put the whole thing in.
-Okay. Bite it.
Try it.
-It's good. Right? Wait. Taste it.
It's good. It's good.
It's good. It's good.
No, no, no, no! No, it's $60.
Eat it, eat it.
-No, for you.
-Are you pretending?
Where's he going with it?
Why did he just leave?
-Does he work--
-I don't think he works here.
I don't think he works here either.
-Kelly.
-You look so cute.
I smelled the food, like,
when I was getting ready.
-I got really hungry.
-Good. We got lots of food for you.
Okay, awesome.
Babe.
Mimi.
I'm hungry, babe.
Hi, Mimi.
Christine, dinner's ready.
Oh my gosh, it's, like… it's
a really long walk all the way over here.
-I know, right?
-Working up my appetite.
-Want something to drink?
-No.
I'm gonna stick with my, uh, spritzer
over there on the table.
Kelly can drink enough for all of us.
-Okay.
-Ready?
-Should we sit down?
-Yeah, let's sit down.
What are our goals for this trip?
So no boyfriend.
No husband. No kids.
We have your first course.
-Thank you.
-Lamb gochujang meatballs.
I'm actually allergic to lamb.
-Oh no.
-Sorry. The next looks good.
-Let me take that.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Congratulation for Christine.
-Aw!
-Dancing with the Stars.
-Congrats.
Thank you.
You good, babe. I saw the second one.
You really good.
-Mm.
-You moving much softer, more relaxing.
Okay.
-More than the first one.
-Thanks.
You better and better and better.
Well, my score got worse.
-Huh?
-But it's a salsa. You have to move.
-Tango you're more in the frame.
-It's sexy.
-I like it. Next time you teach me.
-Yeah, right.
I am barely hanging on, you guys.
Please go out and vote.
I was in the bottom two.
I need more support.
I'm gonna grab more drinks.
Do you want more drinks?
I was on the fence on
whether or not I should come on this trip.
Only Kevin and Mimi came to support me
on Dancing with the Stars.
Kelly was so busy,
couldn't spare an extra second,
but here she is having
this easy-breezy, relaxing girls' weekend
out in the middle of nowhere.
But here I am.
In the middle of nowhere
with my so-called friends.
-I'm so blessed that we are friends.
-I know.
By the end of the day,
the most important thing is
you have the friend around you.
We'll be there for you, for good and bad.
-LA--
-That's all that matters.
LA, it's very hard to find good friends.
When you're super successful,
who gravitates towards you?
What are their intentions?
What do they bring or take away?
-When you--
-Very hard.
Yeah.
You know, Kane's told me
that Christine has lied to all of us.
I mean, there's Christine versus Anna,
Christine versus Kane,
Christine versus Jaime,
Christine versus Mimi.
You know… she's caused so much issues,
and I'm Kane's really good friend.
I just don't wanna support somebody
who is spreading lies and hurting Kane.
So, cheers to Leah.
I'm really kind of nervous
to meet my cousin for the first time
because she could not actually show up.
Maybe I got catfished.
Or maybe she'll actually be able
to help me find my birth family.
Sarah?
-Oh my God.
-Hi!
-What's up?
-Oh my God.
-Hi.
It's really bizarre
in such a good way.
-Oh my God.
-Wow.
-Oh my God.
-Look at you.
-Look at you.
-Can I touch this?
-Yeah.
It feels like my hair. Touch my hair.
Oh my God. This is so crazy.
-This is really nice.
-You're the first relative.
You're the first relative
that I haven't birthed.
But I feel like I'm looking
into the future.
I feel like I can see my kids.
Aw.
I don't think you realize, like…
It's been so hard
to find anything, you know?
-Just--
-I know.
-I can't believe it.
-I can't either.
-I just wanna like stare at you.
-I know.
I don't know enough words
in the English dictionary
to probably describe
how awkwardly exciting
it is to meet my cousin.
I thought I could just talk to her
about finding my birth parents.
But there's a feeling that
it's almost like somebody turned
a little flicker switch in the dark.
You don't feel like you're alone.
You can see something.
It's there in front of you and just…
It feels like it was just meant to be.
My friends in LA really helped a lot
to feel really good about being Asian.
But yeah, it was really hard finding,
like, my identity the last few years.
I understand that.
I didn't want to for a long time.
I didn't want to because I didn't want
to acknowledge that there was anything
different, and I just wanted
to fly under the radar and assimilate.
-I'm proud of it now.
-Yeah.
But… I'm 46.
-It took me 46 years.
-It's just the beginning, I think.
-I think so too.
Like, you feel like family.
-That sounds weird.
-Yeah.
-It's not weird.
-It's really weird.
My kids would love to meet you.
-My husband.
-I'd love to meet your family.
-Oh my God, he's not gonna get jealous?
-No, you're a cousin!
-I know, but he might not… might forget.
-No. No.
-He's like, "Oh my God, he's so charming."
-"He's so charming."
So just a confession.
I did make out with a cousin once.
-I did too.
-You did too?
-That's really embarrassing.
-We are cousins.
I knew it.
-I'm totally embarrassed.
-Yeah.
-I did too.
-You already got my deep, dark secret.
-I know.
-That was too easy.
-I didn't think I was gonna tell anybody.
-Me neither.
I really have never talked about it.
I really didn't expect that I would feel
anything when I was going to meet you.
I thought it'd be like, "Okay, cool."
-Check that off my list.
-Right.
"Here's all the information
I found out about my parents."
-Yeah.
-"Here's something useful."
And then it's like…
No, like…
-This.
-I know!
-It's very windy.
-Yes.
-This is like symbolic.
-Of our life?
-Yeah, we were--
-Going against the wind.
Going against the wind!
-Must… keep…
-I know.
…finding… family!
