The X-Family: Episode Six

Yay, new drama added!

Summary: Xia Tian gets overly angry at the presence of Xiong Ge's soon-to-be husband, and annouces that he will not accept having two fathers. Xia Tian quickly runs into his room to pout and kick about. Xia Yu and Xia Mei try to calm him down, and accidentally pull of his Feng Long Tie. Surprisingly, nothing happens and Gui Long does not appear. The three siblings go to investigate the Yi Neng disrupter-machine, and find that it was not turned on. They then find out that the Feng Long Tie did not release Xia Tian's Yi Neng, because there was a stronger force within the house. They begin to speculate Uncle Vincent for carrying a mutated Yi Neng. There speculation leads to spying on him while Xiong Ge is busy.

After numerous attempts of different spying techniques, they finally find out that Uncle Vincent is indeed, the stronger force. Xiong Ge steps in right at the discovery, but before the four could question Vincent further, he holds them all hostage under the control of his vocal commands. They then get down on their knees, while Yi Se Ren makes an entrance, but gets caught by Vincent and is forced to beat himself in the head with a baseball bat.

Yi Se Ren manages to get out of his vocal grasp, but is then forced to get down on his knees along with his family. Xiong Ge is then forced to strangle Yi Se Ren, until Xia Tian confesses that the Feng Long Card is actually in his Feng Long Tie. Xiong Ge is released from Vincent's control, and Xia Tian hastily walks up to Vincent to get his Tie peeled off. However, Vincent stops and assumes that Xia Tian was just trying to get his Yi Neng released, so that he could fight back, but he tells him that it's not possible, because he is stronger.

Just in time, Dong Cheng Wei's Xiu comes to the rescue and voices the command for Vincent to strangle himself. Unsure of how long this could happen, Vincent warps himself to the darker world to avoid destroying himself.

The family then thank Xiu by having dinner with him and a chord. They have take-out, after refusing to eat Xiong Ge's stinky food. Xia Mei desperately tries to get Xiu's loving attention, and a chord tries to get Xia Yu's attention.

Xia Yu then mentions how Xiong Ge talked about the Feng Long Card. Xiong Ge tries to deny the question, but Ah Gong intervenes and tries to give his input on the Card. However, Xiong Ge steps on his foot and tells him that she will go help him find his bubbletea.

After dinner, Xiu and Xiong Ge step outside to have a little talk about Xia Tian's potential to be the Ultimate Tie Ke Ren. Xiong ge denies the possibility, and expresses her feelings for Xiu not to force Xia Tian to activate his Yi Neng to become the Ultimate Tie Ke Ren. Xiong Ge then asks for him to promise her that he won't activate the Yi Neng on purpose.


Review: I thought this was a very short episode. There wasn't a lot of character development here, as the entire episode was kept within the boundaries of their household.

I did not think that they would be able to find out about Vincent so easily, and what surprised me the most that even Xiong Ge wasn't putting up a strong front when she unexpectedly found out about him.

I thought a lot of the painful and agonizing scenes were quite comedic, I could tell it was for the purpose of comic relief, which was good, but there was such an excess of it that I couldn't bare to see anymore of it.

I'm definitely anticipating the next episode, as the episode ended off with the cliffhanger as to whether Xiu would make a promise with Xiong Ge. I guess I'll find out soon.
