EMIL minces into the room and throws her arms around the startled Chae Won. With tears in her eyes the older woman apologizes for all the wrongs she's done to her former DIL and asks for forgiveness. Where's Grandma and her bag of flour when you need her?
EMIL goes on to present a pitiful picture of Chul Goo pining away for his lost love and coming close to turning into an alcoholic if Chae Won doesn't help him. Only now since she's stuck with crazy Hong Joo does EMIL understand how good she really had it with Chae Won.
Chae Won tries to walk away but EMIL follows her. Oh thank God, here comes Grandma and Choon Hee. Attack! EMIL gets all respectful and humble, apologizing to the ladies for past indiscretions and assuring them things will be different this time when Chae Won goes back to Chul Goo. Yes, Grandma threatens to go get her flour if EMIL doesn't haul ass!
Se Yoon, not wearing a hard hat, just waltzes unauthorized back in on the construction site where Chae Won's Dad is working. He's here for the product placement of a drink called K. Dad still refuses to give his blessing for Se Yoon to date his daughter until Se Yoon gets his own parents' approval first.
EMIL is filling in her children about her plans to get them with their respective obsessions when she's interrupted by the unwelcome return of Hong Joo (and Coco) as well as Sour Puss and Prison Matron. EMIL doesn't want Hong Joo back and insists the kids divorce. Sour Puss doesn't want Hong Joo back and insists there will not be another divorce for the scandal mongers to talk about. Kind of feel sorry for Hong Joo at this point.
Upstairs in the bedroom we finally get to see a glimmer of the mother in Sour Puss as she explains why she wants Hong Joo to stay married. As part of her divorce agreement with her uber-rich husband, Sour Puss must leave the country for at least three years. There will be no one else in Seoul to protect Hong Joo except Chul Goo. There's an almost hug between mother and daughter. Coco gets a kiss in.
Chae Won tells Grandpa that Se Yoon has made arrangements with a famous cancer specialist to get a second opinion on Grandpa's condition. Perhaps Grandpa will turn out to have the same kind of cancer Miracle Dad had. You know, the kind that can be cured with only one simple operation and no chemo or radiation.
Back at the construction site, Se Yoon still won't wear a hard hat and now he's eating bad pork. Somebody sure has a death wish. What's next, Se Yoon?
EMIL tries to throw Hong Joo (and Coco) out of her house. When Hong Joo doesn't budge, EMIL starts grabbing clothes when she's tackled by Mrs. Park. Chul Goo must come to his mother's rescue from the prison matron. While he doesn't exactly come to his wife's rescue as well, neither does he order her out of the house. Instead he gives her a very limp comfort pat on her shoulder. (At least Chul Goo did a better job than Ji Heon's two finger comfort pat to Na Yoon in Protect The Boss.)
What's that, Se Yoon? You've got stomach pains and a cold sweat? Gee, could it possibly be something you ate? Se Yoon stumbles back to Chae Won at the noodle factory so he can spread his food poisoning to unsuspecting customers.
With Chae Won going off to go get medicine for Se Yoon, it's up to Choon Hee to nurse her more-than-likely-secret-son. She asks why Se Yoon didn't taste the pork being bad while I wonder why he didn't at least smell the pork was turned. Chae Won returns before Se Yoon has to reveal his lame secret of having no taste sense. (Wait, I just thought of something. What if his taste loss is something hereditary and not just from the trauma of Dead Girlfriend. I'll be watching for Choon Hee to say anything about not having any sense of taste herself.) As Chae Won takes over the nursing of him, Se Yoon insists on holding her hand and spreading his food poisoning to her. Way to go, Se Yoon.
Se Yoon finally falls asleep in Chae Won's bedroom. Clingy Mom calls his cell phone and Chae Won chooses to answer it so she can explain Se Yoon's sudden illness. Clingy Mom drives over immediately to pick up her son. That's not a happy look on her face. She's about to storm in when she runs into her old friend, Aunt With The Pink Lipstick. When Clingy Mom learns Aunt Pinkie is aunt to Chae Won, she jumps down Pinkie's throat for aiding and abetting this illicit relationship between Se Yoon and Chae Won.
Dad, Chae Won and Se Yoon come outside in the middle of this awkwardness. Clingy Mom gives them all The Glare. She's not a bit appreciative to them nursing Se Yoon in his time of need. Clingy Mom orders her son to get in the car right now. She heads back to her vehicle, never seeing Choon Hee when she comes outside.
Back at the house, Clingy Mom and Miracle Dad take turns yelling at their still recovering son. In his defense, Se Yoon brings up his parents past and how Miracle Dad's parents were initially against him marrying Clingy Mom. Uh-oh, Clingy Mom is getting dizzy. All that bitchiness must be getting to her.
As part of her "Torture Hong Joo Until She Leaves" project, EMIL has Chul Goo's newest wedding picture taken down and his old wedding picture with Chae Won put up in the couple's bedroom. Hong Joo won't give EMIL the satisfaction of becoming upset. Instead she compliments the picture and when Chul Goo tries to take it down she insists it stays right where it is.
There's just enough time left in the program to product place some more Lego's.
The cliffhanger to this episode has something to do with the characters I don't care about and the noodle contest I've not been following.
