When Chuck's father shows up at Victrola, taking back his choice and accepting his proposal for the business, which he tells his father that he had been mistaken about him and the Asian girl because of the fact that she ended up being an associate that convinced his father to accept the proposal and he had told Lilly about what he had originally though.
