Episode 6 of "Jack & Joker" commences with a heartwarming scene of Grandma doling out treats to the neighborhood children, her warmth radiating through every spoonful. Jack and Joke saunter in, drawing playful taunts from the giggling kids. Grandma's usual routine of requesting medication from Boss is interrupted by Jack's chivalrous gesture, insisting he now has the means to provide.
As the trio sits down to dinner, Joke's antics send Grandma's heart fluttering in superstitious alarm, each forkful of food consumed in a manner deemed taboo. Jack, amused yet wary of Joke's bad luck aura, finds joy in their playful banter, while Grandma wonders if her roguish grandson has finally turned a new leaf from thievery. Joke's eyes well up as he confesses this is the first genuinely loving family meal he's ever experienced, Grandma swiftly vowing to make such gatherings a regular occurrence.
Elsewhere, Rose confronts Boss, her voice laced with accusation, believing he orchestrated Jack's theft of her necklace for Aran. The auction guards, hopelessly smitten with Jack's charm, offer little help, but Boss recognizes the signature kick that seals Jack's guilt. However, Rose's demands are clear: the necklace returned, Aran punished, and Jack left unharmed. After her departure, Nang's threat hangs heavy in the air, hinting at dire consequences if Boss fails to comply, invoking the specter of Rose's influential father.
In the gang's chat group, Aran's sarcastic thanks for the necklace's recovery falls flat, only Tattoo responding with a bittersweet smile, reminiscing before silently bidding farewell. Meanwhile, at their makeshift abode, Jack and Joke's bickering over the cramped bed escalates into a physical tussle, with Jack accidentally injuring himself. Grandma, overhearing their comical banter about who sleeps on top, misconstrues their words and leaves with a mischievous smile.
Under the cover of darkness, the boys' conversation turns sincere, Jack moved by Joke's dream of opening a school, and Joke revealing his fear of being a burden. The morning brings fresh quarrels, this time over the bathroom, with Joke barging in mid-brush for his skincare routine.
In a darker turn, Boss takes his frustration out on Hope, using physical violence to send a message to Aran. Aran, faced with his father's harsh measures, threatens to leave only to be met with Boss's dismissive farewell. Alone and desperate, Aran turns to his friends for help, only to be met with cold shoulders and bitter memories. Save finds Hope bruised and battered, her concern deepening as he struggles to laugh off the ordeal.
As the festivities of Chinese New Year usher in, Grandma's gifts of money and blessings confuse Jack but fail to dampen the boys' competitive spirits, with Jack jestingly demanding money from Joke. Their playful spat is cut short by Toi Ting's arrival, her story of bullying and forced dropout eliciting both empathy and action from the boys. Joke offers comfort, while Jack pledges to tutor her, their camaraderie shining bright in the face of adversity.
Elsewhere, Hoi's assistance to Tattoo and his mother in their move reveals Tattoo's financial struggles, having squandered their savings on superstitious talismans. Refusing to dwell in an apartment deemed unlucky, they retreat to the shrine, Hoi by their side. Aran's world crumbles as he discovers his father's severe measures, leaving him friendless and destitute. In the midst of his despair, Save's determination to uncover the truth about Hope's injuries drives the narrative forward, hinting at deeper tensions brewing beneath the surface.
As the scene unfolds, Hoi, Tattoo, and Joke engage in playful teasing towards Jack, momentarily before offering their assistance. Just then, Aran stumbles upon them, tears streaming down his face, lamenting his predicament of having nowhere to lay his head. Tattoo, the sole bearer of extra space, initially throws a fit before relenting and taking Aran under his wing, a gesture that both touches Aran's heart and exposes Tattoo's gruff exterior, unwilling to be labeled as a charitable soul.
At the shrine, an unexpected mishap occurs when Hoi inadvertently stumbles into the women's washroom, sparking a flurry of chaos. Nang, enraged, is poised to mete out punishment, but Tattoo's mother intervenes, averting disaster. Yet, to ensure Hoi's contribution, Nang assigns him the role of her chauffeur.
That evening, Joke surprises Jack with teaching materials, a gesture that warms Jack's heart. As they engage in a playful lesson, flipping through Jack's old English workbook, a revelation dawns—Joke was the one who donated it. Flashbacks transport us to a younger Joke, earnestly wishing not to misspell words, his childish drawings reflecting his anxieties. Baby Jack, finding the workbook, corrects the mistakes, turning Joke's frown upside down. Presently, Joke is overwhelmed with joy, realizing he's the one who instilled hope in Jack's academic journey.
The quizzing continues, with Jack challenging Joke to translate "love" and "confess." Jack's candid confession of liking Joke sets off a chain reaction of confusion and fluster in Joke, who fears the implications of Jack's words. Adding fuel to the fire, Jack's subsequent request for a promise to stay by his side until his dreams are fulfilled creates a poignant moment as their smiles intertwine.
Determined to go above and beyond, Joke secures Coach Wan's cooperation in transferring ownership of the gym to Jack, Coach Wan's way of atoning for past mistakes. Jack, deeply touched, accepts the gesture with gratitude and forgiveness.
The boys' momentum carries them to the bank, where Save reviews Jack's financial status, joyfully revealing that he now has enough to clear his debts and even invest in his future. Jack, amazed by this turn of events, credits his good fortune to Joke.
Elsewhere, Nang rejects Boss' offer to compensate Rose, their history apparent in their exchanges. Boss, desperate to reclaim the necklace—a tangible link to his deceased wife—finds himself in a bind. Nang proposes an unexpected trade—Jack for the necklace, leaving Boss amused yet perplexed. Nang ponders the feasibility of her demand, unaware of Boss' hidden agenda.
Boss visits Jack, delivering Grandma's medicine and accepting the final payment with an air of camaraderie, even returning Jack's ring and offering good wishes. However, once out of sight, his true sentiments surface as he scoffs at Joke.
The narrative shifts to Save attending to Hope, who attempts to leave for work, only to be gently restrained by Save's reassurance that all is taken care of.
As Jack & Joker Episode 6 draws to a close, Jack and Joke revel in their triumphs, yet their joy is abruptly shattered when Grandma collapses. With hearts heavy, they rush to her side, their world once again thrown into turmoil.
