Se Yoon, who seems a bit more smarter when he's drunk than when he's sober, finally figures out the connection between Joo Ri, EMIL, Chae Won and the gang.
After putting drunk Joo Ri to bed, Chul Goo (thinking his crazy wife is knocked out on pills) goes up to his bedroom only to find Hong Joo is wide awake and throwing pillows at him. Just like Chae Won (only without the three years of hell before saying anything) Hong Joo wants them to move out. Chul Goo goes downstairs to drink. Hong Joo throws another pillow.
Se Yoon returns home like nothing happened. So that whole cliffhanger with you figuring things out was for nothing? [I throw a pillow at the Show.] As he's greeted by his parents, Clingy Mom announces she's learned Chae Won's name. Sensible Dad chimes in with "I like the new dietitian" which doesn't set well with Clingy Mom.
The next morning at the Lair of the Evil One, it is an awkward gathering at the breakfast table, although Coco seems relaxed. EMIL mentions it is the death anniversary of the kids' father (a very important event in Korean culture) and she expects everyone to be there tonight. Hong Joo says she has better things to do elsewhere so leave her out. Everyone else is shocked. Well, not Coco. Chul Goo suddenly grows a pair and drags his wife (and Coco) out of the room for a stiff talking to. Hong Joo screams at him.
Chae Won is at work doing her job (unlike some people *cough* Joo Ri *cough*) when Se Yoon arrives. He stands there a moment just staring at her. Joo Ri comes up to apologize for getting so blasted last night, then she comments on how shameless Chae Won is after the stunt she supposedly pulled (the photos on the website, the gift basket.) She doesn't know Se Yoon has figured it all out. He casually asks Joo Ri if she knows Chae Won very well. Joo Ri hems and haws a bit and claims she doesn't know Chae Won much at all.
Inside the building, one of the kitchen bitches approaches Chae Won and asks for help in getting her nephew hired on. She pushes a gift certificate thingy as a bribe on Chae Won, telling her to use it to buy Se Yoon a nice necktie so he'll say yes to the nephew. Watching all this is some flunky of Se Yoon's who is shocked at what he believes he's seeing.
Se Yoon gets a call from Clingy Mom. She wants him to join her for lunch with Joo Ri and EMIL. Se Yoon decides to test Joo Ri and not tell her her mother is joining them for lunch. EMIL shows up first and I must say she's dressed rather nice. Clingy Mom asks how the new daughter-in-law is and EMIL must lie through her teeth about Hong Joo.
EMIL wasn't expecting Se Yoon to be joining them for lunch and she starts to panic. She excuses herself to go to the bathroom and quickly calls Joo Ri. EMIL returns to tell Clingy Mom she just got an important call from work and she must hurry back and miss this luncheon. Crisis averted! For now.
At the cafeteria things get awkward for Chae Won when the kitchen bitch's nephew shows up. Flunky decides to eavesdrop on their conversation. Nephew tries to give Chae Won some honey and ask for her help to get hired since she's going to be marrying Se Yoon soon. This is all Flunky hears and he runs off to tell so he doesn't hear the part where Chae Won corrects the nephew and refuses the bribe.
Flunky tells his boss what he heard. Se Yoon (who is sober and thus stupid) is more than willing to believe the flunky and not even ask for Chae Won's side of the story - again. [I throw a pillow at Se Yoon.] He takes Chae Won outside for another talking to, not talking with. Don't just stand there and cry, Chae Won; make the idiot listen to you!
Wait, this might be just as good. She dries her eyes and marches over to Joo Ri's cubicle (no office for you!) and drags Joo Ri out for a talk. Yes! It's about time for Chae Won to be the drag-er and not the drag-ee. Se Yoon just catches Chae Won pulling Joo Ri around and he starts to follow them.
Out on the deck Chae Won gets angry. She tells Joo Ri she wasn't going to tell Se Yoon about their previous relationship as sisters-in-law but now Joo Ri has made her mad. At that moment Joo Ri spies Se Yoon coming through the door. She drops to her knees and acts like the victim. Se Yoon surprises them both by admitting he already knew the women had once been related. He walks over to help Joo Ri to her feet while telling Chae Won he's basically written her off.
Where's my throwing pillow?!?!
Se Yoon takes Joo Ri up to his office for some tea and comfort. She takes this opportunity to paint an even blacker picture of Chae Won. You both deserve each other. Now go crawl off and die somewhere.
Se Yoon goes out to drink. Good! Maybe his I.Q. will go back up along with his alcohol level. Chae Won goes out to the batting cage to hit some balls, imagining them as little Se Yoons as she smacks the hell out of them. Joo Ri decides to blow off her daddy's memorial service and stalk Se Yoon. He's passed out at his table. Joo Ri tries to wake him up. As he comes too, sort of, he call Joo Ri by Dead Girlfriend's name.
She manoeuvre's him out to the car and who should be walking down the sidewalk but our Chae Won. Still thinking she's Dead Girlfriend, Se Yoon leans in for a sloppy kiss. Only now does Joo Ri notice Chae Won is nearby so she gives the kiss her all.
