Scandal Episode 11

It's not been a good day for me. I need to keep reminding myself that it could be worse. At least my fiancé wasn't murdered on our wedding day, my mother-in-law is a bitch, and my apartment was just blown up.
 
 
Oh no, Ah Mi lost the baby! Now I really feel bad for complaining about my day.
 
Ha Soo Young invites Fake Eun Joong into her home under the pretense of him needing to use her bathroom. Fake Eun Joong and Myeong Geun are both shocked to see the other one.
 
Jang Joo Ha and her potential husband jibber jabber. Now that Go Joo Ran has seen the old security tape of the real Eun Joong she plots her revenge. I can't believe I ever thought I would say this but I wanna get back to Ah Mi!
 
Fake Eun Joong starts to ask Myeong Geun about Real Eun Joong when Soo Young interrupts to offer refreshments. Since his moment has slipped away, Fake Eun Joong excuses himself and leaves.
 
As the Jangs are seeing the Jos to the door they all unfortunately run into Joo Ran. She makes a total ass of herself. Not that that's anything new. Joo Ran blames Hwa Young for keeping her out of the marriage talks for her own daughter. This strengthens Joo Ran's need for revenge.
 
Oh Lord, Tae Ha and the menfolk are hitting the karaoke club. Hmm, but this is interesting. As Tae Ha drunkenly sings (oh Lord), Jo Jin Woong watches with a hard gleam in his eye. What's his story? Is he out for his own revenge? Or does he just not like Tae Ha's singing?
 
Fake Eun Joong returns home and starts snooping around his mother's study. (He won't find the security tape because Light Fingers Joo Ran has already taken it.) What he does find is the old mini tape with the recorded message from the kidnapper telling the family not to look for their kid. Does Fake Eun Joong recognize Myeong Geun's voice?
 
Hwa Young catches Fake Eun Joong coming out of her study. Curious as to what he was doing in there, Hwa Young looks around and that's when she discovers the security camera video tape is missing, only she thinks maybe her not-son has taken it.
 
The private dick is taking pictures of Real Eun Joong as the cop investigates the cuff link Ah Mi saved from the explosion. He already suspects it somehow belongs to Jang Tae Ha, he just needs to find the solid connection. The private dick is terrible at covertly taking pictures and Real Eun Joong catches the guy. After some roughing up, the private dick spills the beans that he was watching Real Eun Joong for Fake Eun Joong. Real Eun Joong checks the digital camera and sees not only pictures of himself but also of his not-sister and not-father in front of his home. Real Eun Joong tells the private dick it's gonna be like this: dicky can take all the pictures of Real Eun Joong he wants but he's not to bother Soo Young or Myeong Geun any more or there will be hell to pay.
 
Fake Eun Joong receives paperwork on Real Eun Joong. It shows Myeong Geun appears to have changed his son's name from Geon Young to Eun Joong. So now Fake Eun Joong is starting to have doubts that Real Eun Joong is the real Eun Joong. Does that make sense?
 
Hwa Young is in her office and is beginning to think perhaps Fake Eun Joong knows he's a fake. To make matters worse, here comes Joo Ran barging in. Fake Eun Joong overhears the two women talking. Joo Ran discloses that she knows Fake Eun Joong (she keeps calling him Geum Man Bok, the name he had at the orphanage) is not really Hwa Young's real son. Joo Ran wants Hwa Young to disappear out of Tae Ha's life. If Hwa Young leaves quietly, Joo Ran won't say anything to Tae Ha about his son not being his son.
 
The Ha's take Ah Mi home with them since she doesn't have anywhere to go. The authorities are saying the explosion was caused by a gas leak.
 
Long musical interlude.
 
Joo Ha and Kang Joo Pil fight over the empty president's position at work.
 
Soo Young is a total bitch and won't share her room with a woman who just lost her fiancé, her baby, and her home. Real Eun Joong gives up his room to her and gives her a motivational speech not to do anything stupid (as in kill herself) because she needs to live to clear Gi Chan's name.
 
Joo Pil makes an unexpected and unwanted visit to the Ha household. The Ha's make it a point not to let someone from Taeha Construction know Ah Mi is here. Myeong Geun stays outside with Joo Pil to talk. Eun Joong gets a phone call and is leaving when he overhears the two old men talking. Joo Pil brings up the story of Dad #1 supposedly changing his son's name from Geon Young to Eun Joong. Rather fishy, don't you think? Myeong Geun counters with what is Joo Pil going to do about the dangerous condominium building and the fact that Jang Tae Ha has killed again.
 
Hwa Young receives a call from the private dick. He claims he's found her abducted son and asks for her to meet him at a restaurant. Hwa Young goes dashing off to the restaurant (empty, as restaurants usually are in Kdramas) and anxiously waits for her son. We see someone open the door and Hwa Young looks up with wide eyes.
