Similarly, the widow continues berating Mrs. Chow, despite Mrs. Chow keeping the widow alive by administering her medications and looking after her. Mrs. Chow eventually tells her husband that she wants to leave the widow, and she reflects on her potential for creating Western-style art in her childhood. After leaving the house, she thinks she will be able to create new projects again. The Chows soon interview for their own apartment so they can move out of the widow’s home. The manager and his family are vibrant, peculiar, and a bit racist, but their large, loud baby takes a liking to Mrs. Chow. After Mr. Chow answers all their interview questions, the Chows are approved for an apartment of their own. As they drive back to the widow’s house, Mrs. Chow decides she wants to ride the Milky Way again. Mr. Chow doesn’t join her, and Mrs. Chow rides next to a young girl. After the ride, The Chows study a billboard together, and Mrs. Chow asks her husband what he thinks about her curling her hair like the woman on the board.
