Synopsis
At the end of ''Chase'', Gabriel and Ellie went on holiday together. They came back and have been together ever since. Gabriel worked on a huge Breast Cancer Awareness campaign that Lauren Lee (his boss from Mad About Ads) managed to win just as the ad agency was on the brink of closing down.
After the campaign, Lauren finally decided to close Mad About Ads and went to work for the Singapore Breast Cancer Foundation as its head of publicity. David (Gabriel's best friend from ''Chase'') got a good advertising job in Sydney, and moved there. Dora, Gabriel's mother, gave birth and decided to settle down with her pilot husband Uncle John (they married at the end of ''Chase'') in his hometown in Kuala Lumpur. Occasionally, she traveled with him on his overseas flights.
Uncle Rob sold his house and retired to Bintan. Ellie is now staying at one of Uncle Rob's many investments – an apartment downtown. Gabriel starts his own ad agency, Angel Advertising, essentially just Gabriel and Danny, the Creative Director, with no office. Gabriel works from home or various cafes, while Danny does not work much but has a lot of contacts. Gabriel keeps him around because he is cheap. By the start of Season 2, Gabriel has a small but loyal group of clients.
At the end of ''Chase'', Ellie had been forced to close down the vet clinic after a takeover by one of Uncle Rob's friends. When she returned from the vacation with Gabriel, she tried to start up a pet food store. The store ran for about six months, and then closed down when the
