Lightmore just gained its 150th chapter! I think it's time for another recap.
Delano and Asahi are sitting in Asahi's room, listening to Asahi's band. Delano seems to like it. They're interrupted when Lieselotte comes in and tells Delano that he has a spa appointment. When Lieselotte leaves, Delano relaxes visibly, and Asahi comments on it.
At Mala's house, Mala is eating dinner with her and Jaimal's adopted child, Berwyn. Mala asks how Berwyn's day has been and Berwyn tells her that their phone pulled up a photo of Jaimal from six years ago. A short silence follows, after which Mala stands up and takes Berwyn to the hidden basement. Jaimal wakes up when Mala turns the light on, but doesn't seem to recognize Berwyn. He's excited to find that he and Mala have a child, though. As Mala explains to Berwyn how she saved Jaimal's life, after which Jaimal flirts with her, which makes Mala laugh. Berwyn notes that he's not heard Mala laugh since the accident. Jaimal is sad that he doesn't remember Berwyn, but that also means that Berwyn gets to tell Jaimal how they met.
Lieselotte takes Delano to the spa. She talks a lot, while Delano responds with very little. When Delano's spa treatment begins, Lieselotte wants to have Delano's hair cut, but he wants to keep it. Lieselotte thinks long hair is a little feminine, but Delano says that it's a heavy metal thing. Lieselotte relents. During the treatment, Lieselotte asks if the spa worker can do anything about the bruises on Delano's face. The spa worker suggests vitamin K cream, aloe vera, cold compress and pineapple. While the spa worker is putting aloe vera on Delano's face, Lieselotte frowns in jealousy. In the car, Lieselotte comments on how friendly the spa worker was with Delano, which Delano barely noticed. Lieselotte seems satisfied with this.
When Delano and Lieselotte get back home, Fang greets them at the door by barking. Lieselotte doesn't seem happy about it. As Delano kneels down to quiet Fang down, Lieselotte puts her hand on Delano's shoulder and asserts that he belongs to her. She's dismayed to find that Delano still fliches when she touches him. She pulls on Delano's hair, which Delano says is hurting him. Fang barks and forces herself between Lieselotte and Delano. This breaks the spell as Delano says that he'll take Fang outside. On the yard, Delano collapses onto his knees.
Mala has installed bars near the capsule in the basement. Jaimal stands up from the capsule and leans on the bars heavily as he slowly walks to a chair placed at the end of the bars. Mala and Berwyn both are cheering him on. Jaimal makes it to the chair and sits down. Berwyn asks how they're going to go on about Jaimal being alive now. Mala says that she has a plan on reintroducing Jaimal to society, but they need to keep Jaimal a secret for a while. No one outside their families can know about him being alive. Jaimal doubts that it's that serious. Mala counters by asking how much Jaimal remembers before the coma. Jaimal confesses that he doesn't remember much. He doesn't even remember being promoted at work, which makes him turn very serious, when Mala tells him that. Berwyn asks if Mala thinks that someone did this to Jaimal. Mala seems to think that the car accident was planned and that Jaimal was meant to die in it, but his mutation saved his life. Jaimal asks if Mala has any suspects. Mala only has a hunch without proof. Mala tells Berwyn and Jaimal who she suspects, which shocks both of them. The conversation turns to the project that Jaimal spearheaded in his past. He almost singlehandedly revamped the insulation and lighting in the whole city, which started saving electricity 20 percent in the city. Jaimal is amazed that he reached one of his biggest dreams and dismayed that he doesn't remember it.
Yuuji, Whisper and Angelo are visiting Meyer Renovations to talk to Lieselotte's personal assistant, Charlotte. There is also another assistant with her. When Yuuji asks about the Badawi Family incident, Charlotte's smile falters a little. Whisper asks her if she's ever seen Keith, which Charlotte denies, but something flickers in her eyes. The second assistant behind her pales seeing the photo. Whisper asks Charlotte if she's seen the two men who kidnapped Keith, which Charlotte also denies. Angelo asks if she was aware that Lieselotte dislikes the Badawi family. Charlotte says that Lieselotte didn't make it a secret, but she also wouldn't go as far as to having them killed because it's bad PR and illegal. Charlotte isn't too familiar with Hellenic Pharma either. When Yuuji's group is leaving, they note that Charlotte knows more than she shared. Angelo notes that the assistant with her definitely knows something, but isn't sure how to get her to talk.
Next, Yuuji's group heads to talk to Ivy. When they ask her about Lieselotte, she notes that they're the second person to ask her about that this week. She invites the group in, but tells them to stay where she can see them. Yuuji asks Ivy if she got a good enough read on Lieselotte's personality to tell if she has it in her to have people murdered. Ivy says that it's complicated. On one hand, Lieselotte has a wholesome girlboss facade, but she also doesn't respect people around her. She isn't sure if she'd have people killed because she doesn't like them, but she's also delusional about her fake husband. Yuuji asks if Ivy ever did anything shady while working for Lieselotte. Ivy tells them about her connection to Hellenic and that Beatrice has the proof on it if Yuuji wants it.
Back at Lieselotte's house, Delano is heading to take a shower, but is interrupted by Lieselotte. She asks him if he's been using the creams he got, which Delano has. Lieselotte is happy about it. While Delano is taking his shower, Lieselotte sneaks in. Before she has the time to do anything, Delano steps out of the shower. Lieselotte is surprised, but tries to play it off with some flirt. Lieselotte sets a hand on Delano's chest and says that he could have another shower with her. Delano almost runs out of the room.
Haitao and Kahale have come to Qianfan's apartment to help clean it, along with Beatrice, Isabella and Camila. Qianfan says that he wants the baby clothes and toys to be donated, but isn't sure what to do with the crib. Haitao says Kahale will disassebmle it and sell it for Qianfan. While the women clean, Kahale and Qianfan start to cook. Kahale asks Qianfan what he's planning to do with his life now. Qianfan doesn't know. Kahale asks if he wants to stay in this apartment or to move somewhere else. Qianfan doesn't want to stay because this apartment has too many memories. Kahale says that he and Haitao will help him move.
In Nursimo's workshop, Nursimo is having a difficult time working. Makoto arrives with coffee and pastries. She asks if he's okay. Simo says that he doesn't have new ideas. Makoto suggests a few days' break, like the gala tomorrow night. He could invite Niran and make it a date so they can kiss. Nursimo nonchalantly says he's already done that. Makoto is shocked and asks if they're dating now, which Nursimo didn't realise to ask Niran. Simo asks if Makoto brought snacks, and Makoto passes him the macaroons she brought. Simo asks what the occasion is, which is when Makoto tells him that she got the part in Adventure Dog. Simo asks if she's told Ry yet, which she has. Simo asks if Makoto has kissed him yet, which she hasn't. Makoto says it's difficult because Ry wears a mask most of the time. Simo suggest Makoto to just believe him and ask Ry out. It takes a little convincing, but Makoto sends Ry a text asking him out for the gala. Ry calls Makoto, and she panics. When she picks up, Ry says he called to make sure that Makoto's phone wasn't stole and that someone was trolling him. Makoto reassures him that she sent the texts and that she wants to go on a date with him. While Makoto is talking to Ry on the phone, Mala calls Nursimo. Mala apologizes for being so distant, but Simo shrugs it off, being understanding about having the same face as Jaimal. Mala invites Simo for lunch tomorrow. Simo is surprised and accepts, asking if he should bring something over. Mala asks for black tea.
At Beatrice's apartment, Beatrice is telling Yuuji and Whisper what she's found about Hellenic and Lieselotte. Yuuji asks if they've gotten any connections between Lieselotte and the massacre, which Beatrice hasn't. Orlando brings up that they know that Lieselotte is holding someone at her house against his will. Yuuji wants to go out immediately and do something, but Whisper talks sense into him.
Angelo and Whisper have a little cute and awkward moment, which Orlando smiles seeing. However, his smile dies when he remembers Delano and Maurice. Qianfan sees this and asks if he's thinking about Delano and what he's planning to do about the situation. Orlando says that he's going to help Delano out of the house and stop seeing him.
Yuuji asks about if Beatrice knows any people who can hack and if he can borrow their skills to get into Charlotte's phone. Isabella says that she can help.
Simo is at Mala's house for the lunch. The lunch goes relatively well, with the two having a honest heart-to-heart about losing a twin brother and a husband. Simo asks if Mala blames him of Jaimal's death, which Mala gives a complicated answer to. This question harshens the mood, and Mala stands up to put some spaghetti into a blender. Then Mala brings Simo to the basement, where Jaimal is waiting. Simo is in shock and asks Jaimal to tell him something only the two of them now. Jaimal tells Nursimo about his first kiss, which convinces Simo. While the two catch up, Jaimal mentions that he thinks that he can get back upstairs soon.
At Kahale's office, Joel is reading a list of names, until Kahale interrupts him. Kahale steps in and asks what he's doing. Joel confesses that he was looking at the list of employees who have died. Kahale asks him to not do that again on his computer, which Joel agrees with. Kahale seems surprised about it. He asks what Michael said to him when they were alone at the power plant. Joel pales at the mention of his father and says they should get back to work.
At Beatrice's apartment, Orlando, Maurice, Qianfan and Daxton are planning to get Delano's stuff out of Lieselotte's house while Lieselotte is away at the gala. Maurice says that he has texts from Charlotte's phone that incriminate her for hiring some men to kidnap Delano.
Lieselotte is getting ready for the gala. She checks on Asahi and Delano to see if they getting ready too. She finds Delano struggling with his shirt because of his cast. When she offers to help, Fang growls at her. After Delano reprimands Fang, Lieselotte asks him how he's been settling into the house. Delano doesn't give her a clear answer. Lieselotte is happy that he's getting along with Asahi, though. When Delano doesn't respond to her, Lieselotte fakes a sob and says that he's being cold to her, even when she was going to give him a gift. After a little hesitation, Delano asks what the gift is. Lieselotte puts a ring on Delano's left ring finger and finds it's a little small, but she doesn't have the time to get it resized.
Lieselotte, Delano and Asahi go to the gala. While Lieselotte goes off to do her representative work, Delano asks Asahi what he's supposed to be doing here. Asahi says that he's just here to talk to people. While Lieselotte is giving her opening speech, Maurice finds Delano, which makes Delano relax a little. Maurice sees the ring on Delano almost immediately, which he doesn't seem happy about. Asahi appears, and Delano introduces him to Maurice, saying that he has a band. Asahi and Maurice chat about how Maurice reviewed Asahi's band's first album.
Nursimo is running late from the gala. Niran calls him, and Nursimo immediately tells him that he's on his way.
Makoto and Ryder are already at the gala, having drawn some attention. Makoto is a little embarrassed because it's not her show. She and Ryder hide in a secluded corner so they can hold hands.
Orlando and Qianfan are about to go to Lieselotte's house, but Orlando wants to visit the hospital first because Camila texted him and said that Sofia asked him to visit. At the hospital, Sofia asks Orlando to tell Beatrice to take breaks. Leonardo agrees and tells Orlando to tell Beatrice to call him if she gives Orlando trouble for it.
Nursimo and Niran finally make it to the gala too. Niran notes that Nursimo is a little jumpier than normal, but Simo says that he's fine. As Niran goes to get them drinks, Nursimo spots Delano and starts a conversation because he hasn't seen him around before. Delano tells him that he's with Lieselotte. Nursimo sees the ring on Delano and seems to connect some dots in his head. He gives Delano his card and tells him to call him if he needs help with anything.
In another corner of the gala, Lieselotte is talking to Prime. Prime asks how married life has been for her. Lieselotte tells him that she didn't expect Delano to avoid her. Prime offers to talk to Delano for her. To give him some counseling.
Orlando, Qianfan and Daxton are heading to Lieselotte's house with Lucien, who has a car. They drive to Lieselotte's house and start packing Delano's things into Lucien's car. Everything goes fine, but there has been a security camera filming them for the whole time. The group takes Delano's things to Maurice's apartment and place the boxes into his living room.
Back at the gala, Lieselotte's phone gets a notification about the unusual activity at her house.
Joe and Tsubaki are also at the gala, Joel looking exhausted and vaguely haunted. Tsubaki tries to make some small talk. Joel tells xir that he's held some charity galas too, for foundations that study illnesses. While he's talking, Tsubaki spots Hánsa over his shoulder. Tsubaki hides behind Joel to avoid being seen. Joel seems to be surprised that Tsubaki knows the mayor. Tsubaki tells him that they were friends as kids, but had a falling out and Tsubaki hasn't seen him since.
In a yet another corner of the gala, Hánsa thinks he heard Tsubaki's voice. He spots xir with some disbelief. Gawonii, his secretary, tells him to go catch up, which he does.
Meanwhile, Jude, Joel's friend, has appeared with a little cocaine. Joel and Jude walk off, leaving Tsubaki alone, just as Hánsa is approaching xir. First, Hánsa apologizes to Tsubaki for having been such a dick to xir. He wants to make things up and invites Tsubaki for lunch sometime.

As Joel returns from the restroom with Jude, he sees Tsubaki and Hánsa talk, with Tsubaki's hand on Hánsa's bicep and Hánsa's hand on Tsubaki's. Joel doesn't seem to mind and tells Jude that they should get drinks. While they're doing that, Jude asks if things have settled down at work. Joel sighs, almost having forgotten about his work. Jude offers to listen if Joel wants to talk. Joel tells him that he can't talk about it, because it's confidential.
Makoto and Ry have found Nursimo and Niran and are talking to them. While Ry shows Niran some memes on his phone, Makoto asks Nursimo if he's okay because he's been a little absent. She asks if something happened with Mala. Nursimo says that he can't say, because Mala should tell Makoto herself. Makoto seems excited to learn that Mala promised to invite her for lunch soon too. The conversation shifts to family. Niran reveals that their older sibling is an actor in Adventure Dog. Makoto asks if she can ask them for advice for her lore in the show. Niran texts their sibling and the sibling suggests Makoto to read up on the lore of the show.
Lieselotte introduces Prime to Delano. As the two shake hands, Prime's ring nicks Delano's hand. Prime invites Delano for a "little guy hang". Delano doesn't give a committal answer. Maurice sees this exchange happen in horror.
Delano excuses himself to the restroom, where Maurice finds him. Without wasting a moment, Maurice asks Delano if he promised Prime anything. Delano says he might have agreed to a meeting. Maurice tells Delano that he absolutely can't meet Prime alone and reveals that Prime is Maurice's boss and Prime bought Maurice, tortured and corrupted him and turned into a monster. Delano wonders how Lieselotte knows him. Maurice says that they work together. Delano asks if Maurice knew about it. Maurice did but he didn't know that Delano and Lieselotte know each other. Delano never told Maurice about it. Maurice says that he'd like to hear the story, which Delano agrees to tell, after he's out of Lieselotte's house. The two exchange a tender kiss.
Makoto and Ry leave the gala early.
Tsubaki and Hánsa finish catching up and Hánsa confesses that he hasn't been mad at Tsubaki for years. He stopped being mad when he "pulled his head out of his ass" and realized how awful he was to Tsubaki. Hánsa asks if he can walk Tsubaki home, which Tsubaki agrees to.
