Three weeks ago, Chow Chu was at an auction bidding on Rucola e Prosciutto con Glio d'Oliva, a painting by the famous Sabopictor, Quindim Buongio-Vannis, when he is outbid by none other then Barnabas Cremini.

Back to the present, Chow and his sister Toni Chu show up at Maison de Snoot, demanding to see Barnabas' Quindims because there is reason to believe they are fakes. Because Toni is an agent of NASA, Barnbas complies, but this was all a ruse.

While Barnabas and Toni are distracted, Chow sneaks into Barnabas's kitchen and finds his recipe book. Chow then burns it up infront of Barnabas and Toni, claiming Barnabas stole it from him. This whole event leaves Barnabas a crying wreak of a man and the feud stronger then ever.
