Wang So meets with Eun Chan to pass on the names of the other vase owners. One of them is a Hwang, which is So's wife's clan, and one of them is So's own uncle. Not to be confused with his other uncle, Shik Ryum, who is also Yeo Won's uncle. This is the most confusing family tree.
Wang So also shows his partner the bronze mirror with the similar pattern as Kim Jong Sik's talisman. So now wants to investigate the mirror, who made it and where it came from.
Suddenly they are surprised by Gil Bok. I haven't mentioned Gil Bok before because he's not a very important character. Long story short he is the prince's batman who doesn't know his master's secret life as head of the black ninjas. Well, until this moment, that is.
Bidam Wannabe #2 and Scarface come down to scope Wang So out and see if he's the prince who scarred Scarface. Scarface follows So back to his little room at the Chunghae where they get into a fight that is witnessed by Gaebong/Yool. She and her bodyguard, Kyung, insist on running after them so they can get in the way of things. And just to make things even more confusing, BW and Eun Chun are also hanging out in the shadows. (I still have my doubts about Eun Chun.)
Scarface ends up dead but not before revealing to Wang So that the bad guys know he's a prince. So leaves a message behind on the corpse so the bad guys will know that he knows they know. He returns to his room where an anxious Gaebong is waiting and tries to bluff his way out by claiming Scarface is an old friend and they were just practicing their fighting techniques.
Wang Shik Ryum now has the proof that Wang So is the prince he needs to watch out for. The old man drops in to visit with Mommy Dearest and just happens to mentioned how what cursed Wang So has been hanging around the king way too much.
There's fighting in the court. Shik Ryum and his gang want to move Goryeo's capital out West while the other side of the room cry, "Don't do it!" Shik Ryum, acting like it's a done deal, announces in celebration of the capital being moved he proposes the old tradition of having all of the princes fight each other.
The secret potion that Yeo Won delivered last episode is carefully sprinkled on a scroll.
Learning about the MMA fight planned for the princes, Wang So tries to get in to see his brother the king only to find Mommy Dearest has ordered all the guards to keep her bad luck son out of the palace. Not knowing what his mother has done, the king wonders why Wang So hasn't arrived yet. To kill time (and himself), the king starts perusing through paperwork, including the poisoned scroll.
Yeo Won meets with Wang Uk and tells him Wang So is suspected to be the leader of the black ninjas and is currently working at Chunghae. They need to look into this. Chunghae is supposed to be closed for exams but Baek Myo makes an exception for her favorite prince. Uk casually asks about a beggar who is working for them and Baek Myo becomes an out-of-control font of information as she tells the prince all about So and the bronze mirror.
Uk catches Yool dressed up as Gaebong and can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to think she was a man. He asks Yool to help outfit him for the upcoming mortal kombat of princes. In return for this, Uk will get Yool into the royal library so she can ooh and ahh over all the books. She hears Wang So yelling outside and excuses herself to go see what's going on. Uk spies So getting up close and personal with Yool and obviously doesn't like it. (Doesn't Oh Yeon Seo look like Shin Mina?)
It's time for Wang So to leave Chunghae. As a parting gift, Gaebong gives So the name of the artisan who crafted the bronze mirror. So insists he and Gaebong become blood brothers.
Wang So asks Eun Chan to pass a message on to the king. So will have to sneak into the palace and wants his brother to meet him in the royal library. Wang So returns to Chunghae and offers to help the company to deliver some goods to the palace. Once inside So has a hard time shaking off his blood brother. However, Yool/Gaebong ends up helping So as she's wanting to sneak into the library herself. So steals some laundry so they can disguise themselves. Yool gets to do a Victor/Victoria as she is a woman disguised as a man disguised as a woman.
