I know this is going to sound strange, but ever since all this bad stuff has happened to Woo Ah Mi and she's not half as annoying as she was in the beginning, I'm totally rooting for her. This girl needs revenge!
We backtrack a bit to when Hwa Young received the phone call from the most inept private dick ever. This time we see the conversation from his end. As he tells Hwa Young he found her son, nearby sits Fake Eun Joong who has told the private dick what to say.
As Real Eun Joong is leaving his house he can't stop thinking about the conversation he overheard between his not-father and Joo Pil. Specifically he keeps thinking of the comment of how Jang Tae Ha has killed before.
Soo Young continues to plummet in my regard. Even though Eun Joong tells her about Ah Mi losing her child, Soo Young doesn't act empathetic at all. Boo, Soo Young.
Hwa Young waits anxiously in the café for her visitor to appear. The door opens and... in walks Fake Eun Joong. She asks why he's doing this to her. Fake Eun Joong says he wants her to feel the kind of pain he's been feeling, knowing he's not her real son, she's never considered him her son, and not knowing who he really is. All valid points, I must say.
At a bar (with customers!) Real Eun Joong meets with Jang Joo Ha. She's heard about the fire at Gi Chan and Ah Mi's apartment and she's concerned. Real Eun Joong pulls out the little plastic evidence envelope with the cuff link and asks Joo Ha if she's ever seen it before. She starts to react before she catches herself but Eun Joong knows Joo Ha recognizes the cuff link as belonging to her father. Joo Ha tries to backtrack and say the cuff link looks similar to one she's seen before. Why does he ask? Real Eun Joong floors her when he explains the fire at the apartment wasn't an accident, it was arson, and this cuff link was found at the crime scene.
Hwa Young and Fake Eun Joong have a very painful but at least honest conversation about the situation. Fake Eun Joong says there's not enough room in the house for two Eun Joongs so either throw him away or stop looking for her real son.
Random white guy alert: as Joo Ha and Real Eun Joong are waiting for the elevator, out of it steps Jo Jin Woong and some foreigner who quickly leaves the scene and had no purpose whatsoever. Joo Ha tries to use her real half-brother to make Jin Woong jealous. Eww. Jin Woong tells Eun Joong he can still mess around with Joo Ha until the wedding in September, then it must stop. Eww. When Jin Woong simply walks away to join the random white guy in the bar, Joo Ha asks Real Eun Joong to mess around with her for a month in an effort to get Woong to end this engagement. EWWWW.
(Dangit, this Windows 8 keeps getting on my nerves.)
Anyway, Real Eun Joong tells her he doesn't have time for her petty love problems because he's too busy investigating a murder. But then he realizes he can use Joo Ha to get closer to Tae Ha so he changes his mind.
Back at home, Hwa Young packs up all her Real Eun Joong material and hands it over to Fake Eun Joong for him to continue the search. She agrees to settle for just knowing if her real son is alright, if he's happy and healthy, and won't try to claim him. Hwa Young asks about the security camera video and when Fake Eun Joong claims this is the first he's ever heard of it, she quickly figures out that Joo Ran must have gotten her sticky fingers on it. She tells Fake Eun Joong they have to get that tape back before Joo Ran shows it to Tae Ha.
The next morning as Tae Ha is getting dressed, Joo Ha stops by to talk with him. The dude's got a table full of cuff links and yes, Joo Ha takes a peek at them. Ah, it turns out those particular cuff links were a gift from her and Joo Ha asks where they are. Tae Ha is like, "Oh yeah, I gave those to Kang Ho. Because I trust him more than I will ever trust you, flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone." (So screw you, daughter, and screw your thoughtful gifts to me.)
Real Eun Joong borrows a suit (probably the first one he's ever worn) to go to a high-end men's shop. He pretends to be on an errand for Tae Ha to replace a lost cuff link. The shop owner recognizes the one cuff link Eun Joong has and corrects the cop in that it was Joo Ha who purchased the cuff links to give to her father.
To protect her father, Joo Ha warns Kang Ho about the cuff link being found at the fire so he'd better make up some story about losing both cuff links or else take sole responsibility for his actions. And here I thought Joo Ha was on the cusp of being a good girl. Ah Mi, you have officially become the only female character I like on this show. All the others can go to hell.
While Real Eun Joong is already at the police station trying to get fingerprints off the cuff link, he decides to start digging into his not-father's past and find out why Myeong Geun suddenly resigned from the force in 1988.
Ack, Gi Chan's bitch mother makes a return appearance. Where's the Truck of Doom when you need it?
Myeong Geun goes to see Hwa Young at her law office. He shows her the evidence he has of the unsafe conditions at her husband's building site. He hopes Hwa Young will somehow convince her husband to do the right thing concerning safety.
Fake Eun Joong asks Joo Ran to allow him to see the video tape. Once he sees it he recalls that day and how the other boy introduced himself as Ha Eun Joong, the same name as the detective. I thought the similarity to the sketch was enough in Fake Eun Joong's mind but I guess now this solidifies it.
Real Eun Joong returns home to find that bitch mother dumping seaweed soup all over Ah Mi and telling her to die. Eun Joong yells at Ah Mi to stand up for herself and tell her mother-in-law where to get off. Bitch mother starts asking what kind of relationship does Ah Mi have with Eun Joong. Eun Joong drags Ah Mi out to his car and drives her away (leaving Bitch Mother alone in his house).
Tae Ha has driven up to the law office to meet with Fake Eun Joong. He's sitting in his car waiting when he sees Hwa Young escorting a man out of the office. It's Myeong Geun but all Tae Ha can see of him is his back. What he can see is Hwa Young smiling and laughing with another man. Tae Ha is consumed with jealousy.
