Last time on The Adventures of Stupid Girl, Chae Won was once again locked in a room against her will. I sense a running theme here.
As Chae Won uselessly screams for help, her memories of Episodes 1 and 2 come rushing back to her. Upstairs in the warm house, Evil Mother-In-Law is looking through all the evidence Chae Won had gathered over time concerning the wrong-doings of her husband. Ironically it is Chul Goo who seems to be the only one in the house worried about where Chae Won is and is searching for her.
Meanwhile, Se Yoon and his pirate figurines just have a sneaking suspicion that Chae Won is yet again in some kind of trouble. At that moment he receives a phone call from Chul Goo asking if his wife happens to be with the other fellow. Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in. Then they fuss at you for getting involved in their marital problems even though it was Chul Goo who called you first. Go figure.
Finally the house keeper (who really needs a name if she's going to be this important to the plot) tells Chul Goo about EMIL being down in the basement earlier. Perhaps the young miss followed? This time it is Chul Goo who comes racing to his wife's rescue. After putting Chae Won to bed, Chul Goo goes to yell at his mother. EMIL has no idea what he's going on about as for once she's kind of innocent of what he's accusing her of. Chae Won hints at getting her memories back but doesn't come right out and say it. She'd rather let EMIL stew for awhile.
Chae Won continues to hide the fact she's gotten her memory back. It's EMIL's birthday and Chae Won lets on like she wants to throw a big birthday party for the witch. EMIL urges her daughter, Joo Ri, to bring her special someone to the party, not realizing it is Se Yoon. EMIL calls the family lawyer to check on the status of the kids' divorce. She mentions how a "contract" (pre-nup) is safe in her safe. Chae Won overhears this conversation and later on tries to break into the safe with no success.
Chae Won invites Se Yoon out for coffee in order to return his shoes to him. Se Yoon wants to have a lawyer friend of his help her out but Chae Won insists she'll take care of her own problems. Yeah, you've been doing such a wonderful job of it so far. She confides in Se Yoon that she's gotten her memory back. This scene is supposed to convince the viewers of the budding attraction between the two, but I'm still not feeling it. There's simply no chemistry at all. Here, this is how I feel about these two:
At work, Joo Ri is carrying a big box of the company's latest noodle product. She sees Se Yoon's mother going into the ladies room. Seeing an opportunity to score points, Joo Ri also goes into the bathroom. Two cleaning ladies are in there and Joo Ri loudly offers them some of the noodles since they work so hard. Mom comes out of a stall and the cleaning ladies praise Joo Ri for being so nice to them. Mom is easily moved.
EMIL arrives at the restaurant for her birthday dinner. She's early and awaits everyone else to arrive. Chul Goo is driving Chae Won there when his wife fakes a headache. They turn around and go back home. Joo Ri fails in her attempt to ask Se Yoon to the birthday dinner so she runs off crying. He runs after her to comfort Joo Ri, which was her plan all along. They're not going to the birthday party either. EMIL sits alone at the table, forsaken by her family.
Joo Ri finally confesses her feelings to Se Yoon.
Chul Goo is nursing his wife when he gets a phone call from his realtor. (He's wanting to move out with Chae Won, perhaps to Portugal.) With her permission, Chul Goo goes to meet with the fellow. Now that she's alone its time for Chae Won to implement her plans.
A slightly tipsy EMIL is eating her birthday cake with her fingers when Chae Won shows up. EMIL complains about how the last three years she's been living on various pills (blood pressure, sleeping, etc.) because of her daughter-in-law. Chae Won smoothly leans in and whispers perhaps it is EMIL's turn to be put in a mental hospital, hinting again that she's gotten her memory back.
