EMIL at least apologizes to the parents for losing her cool and smacking their kid upside his head before she and Joo Ri leave. Clingy Mom starts ripping Chae Won a new one for even showing up at this dinner. A-ha, I was right. Se Yoon did lie to Chae Won in order to get her to come with him in the first place. Dad, his birthday dinner a complete fail, leaves in disgust. Chae Won just silently cries when what she really should be doing is taking a cue from her former mother-in-law and knocking Se Yoon upside the head for lying to her and putting her through this.
In order to avoid another ravishing from his wife, Chul Goo makes up a bed in the library. Hong Joo cries. You know I think this is the first time I've seen her cry on the show. The first time she's ever shown her vulnerability.
Hong Joo and the prison matron have been trying to hide something from EMIL but its splashed all over the papers today: Sour Puss has divorced her ultra rich husband. EMIL goes upstairs to confront her DIL about this news. Hong Joo replies with, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seriously, that's what she said.
Bright happy music plays as Chae Won begins her first day learning the noodle business. A large trash can of flowers are delivered to her with a congratulatory message from Se Yoon. She calls him at work to thank him. Joo Ri overhears Se Yoon's flirty banter with Chae Won. Are you beginning to realize, Joo Ri, that he never talked to you like that?
There's a bunch of stuff about noodles.
EMIL gossips with the matchmaker and only now does she learn that Hong Joo was the result of an affair and is no blood relation to the rich part of her family. EMIL physically attacks the matchmaker for false advertising (in a sense). Now she's stuck with a crazy daughter-in-law who won't be any help in building a home shopping empire.
Chae Won's Dad is surprised to get a visit from Clingy Mom. She's here to politely tell him how his daughter is not worthy of her son.
An angry EMIL comes home to yell at Hong Joo (and Coco) about conning her family. Hong Joo argues back that EMIL should have done her homework more thoroughly before selling off her son. She's got a point there, EMIL.
Se Yoon has come to pick up Chae Won but he's stopped at the door by her Dad. The men go off for some alcohol so they can talk. Dad tells Se Yoon about the meeting with Clingy Mom earlier. It's history repeating itself as Dad compares today's meeting with the same kind of talk he had with EMIL back when Chae Won was going to marry Chul Goo. Dad doesn't want his daughter to go through such heartbreak again so he asks Se Yoon to end things now. Se Yoon tells the Dead Girlfriend story and why his determination is so much stronger because of it. He's not giving up on Chae Won.
Chul Goo is pining for Chae Won. Joo Ri is pining for Se Yoon. Their crazy mother gets it into her head that the only solution is to somehow get Chae Won back together with Chul Goo, thus freeing up Se Yoon for Joo Ri. Yeah, that's so gonna happen.
Chae Won is in the factory making noodles (and wearing no hair net!) when the last person she ever expected walks in: her ex mother-in-law. Eugene does that eye widening thing to convey shock and awe. With crocodile tears in her eyes, EMIL throws her arms around Chae Won as she apologizes for all the wrongs she's done to the young woman over the years. Can Chae Won ever forgive her?
