A man reported dead returns, surprising the heck out of his wife, Marion Stop, the #1 socialite in all of Solomon's River. Stephan's body (dressed in his clothes, with his cheesy moustache and fake left arm) had been found and autopsied. Stephan believes he was set up, as he's not dead, suspecting that the coroner must be in on it, too. Marion always believed Magnus Aversson, Stephan's nemesis, had something to do with it. The couple will let the whole world know that Stephan is alive and they will take back Solomon's River. They laugh evilly.
The British Secret Service agents have arrived in China, sent there on a tip found in a fortune cookie, looking for Magnus Aversson's microchip factory. They go to their Microtel to secure their special luggage and prepare. Nearby, two Chinese agents, Ling Po and Po Ling, spy through binoculars at the British agents, reveling that their plan is in motion to "get back" at the agents for "the whole Hong Kong thing". They order American takeout and wait.
