Janet sees four artistic photos on a Bumble profile that remind her of her high school crush, Justin Timberlake.
The episode begins with host Rachel Smith introducing the Hong Kong Stories podcast and mentioning the theme for the upcoming September show, Clueless. She then presents a story from the November 2023 live show with the theme Wicked, told by Janet. Janet recounts moving to Hong Kong in 2019 and using Bumble to seek a picture-perfect life. She matches with a man whose profile features four artistic photographs that remind her of her high school crush, Justin Timberlake. After texting, she consults an expensive dating coach who advises screening him by phone first, and she finds his voice perfect. Janet meticulously prepares for the date, choosing a restaurant in her neighborhood where she knows the staff for safety. She arrives half an hour early and nervously texts him when the meeting time arrives, receiving a confusing reply about a blue plaid shirt. They spot each other, and Janet is immediately disappointed that he doesn't resemble Justin Timberlake, with a lanky shirt and awkward appearance. During the date, she becomes distracted by his hair, noticing inconsistencies in texture and color. He eventually reveals he's wearing a wig, and Janet suggests he might look better with a bald head, referencing Justin Timberlake. As the conversation continues, Janet realizes there's no romantic connection, and her initial excitement fades. She finishes her coffee, thanks him, and leaves. At home, she receives a notification that Justin has liked her profile on Bumble again, adding an ironic twist. The episode concludes with credits for the music by Andrew Robert Smith and a reminder that everyone has a story to tell.
