The episode will showcase Lucky, an Indian who became a father at 48, as he prepares for the birth of his daughter, Lucky Vicky, in their newlywed home with a view of the Han River.

Making his first appearance on 'The Return of Superman', Lucky shares his feelings upon learning of his wife's pregnancy. He proudly states, "Our combined age is over 90, yet we succeeded in conceiving naturally." Despite being 48 and his wife 45, the couple was unexpectedly blessed with a child.

Alberto calms him by asking, "When will you use this?" while Guillaume emphasizes, "Only buy what your wife asks for," highlighting that the first rule of choosing baby items is to follow the wife's guidance.
