Kate tries to hold everything together, knowing that unless things change soon, they will lose the restaurant. Out of the blue, a chef turns up and offers to cook them the best food they've ever tasted, in exchange for a job as sous chef. It seems like the fortunes of the restaurant are turning around. But is it a coincidence, or is there something magical about the new, mysterious chef?
