Complete story — includes the ending

Louis is selected to be a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. During a break in filming, he argues with Eddie about a hybrid Chinese/American item that Eddie created and wants to add to the Cattleman's menu. Louis rejected it, stating he never wanted to be judged for his Asian heritage and therefore wants his restaurant to have 100% American cuisine. After realizing he is proud to be both Asian and American, he relents. Louis then uses Eddie as his phone-a-friend, instead of using Evan who is waiting at home, which backfires. Meanwhile, Jessica and Emery argue over his passion to become an actor, but eventually come to an understanding.
