• Tesla teased Ling Feng before confirming that Fu Hua and Ling Yuan were safe, and Ling Feng went to see them.
• Fu Hua told Ling Feng that the birth had been easier than she expected, and she joyfully welcomed her daughter, Ling Yuan.

• Ling Feng returned to the apartment and reassured Kiana that she could keep having fun while he figured out how to slow her energy growth.
