Poong and his men surround Wang So with their swords drawn. They've all conveniently forgotten So is a frickin' ninja. With his hair pin as his only weapon, So takes them all on and kicks their asses. Fighting his way outside, Wang So is able to retrieve his halberd. He's then joined by his black ninjas. Massive fighting ensues with Wang So slipping away.
We rewind a bit to see Se Won meeting with Yeo Won before he left to go kill his sister. Telling Yeo Won he has been and always will be her man, Se Won gives her the flying fish pendant off his sword as his final goodbye.
Masked Se Won enters Yool's bedroom where he's confronted by an armed Wang Uk. (To be honest Yool doesn't have much of a reaction to waking up and finding two men swordfighting in her bedroom.) The two men run outside to continue their fight. Se Won purposely lets down his guard so Uk can deliver a killing blow. Se Won pulls off his mask and Uk is shocked to see the assassin is his old friend. (Really? You really didn't know it was Se Won?) With his dying breath, Se Won begs Uk to never tell Yool the truth about her brother being a cold-blooded assassin.
Wang Uk returns to Chunghae to warn everyone that it was Wang Shik Ryum who had sent the assassin. While he didn't succeed this time, the old man will surely try again if he finds out Yool is still alive. Therefore Uk suggests they make it look like Yool was killed after all.
Uk breaks the news to his sister about Se Won's death. Yeo Won sees her lover's ghost and once again I'm surprised by Honey Lee's crying. The woman commits when it comes to having an emotional breakdown. That's how you do it, people.
Shik Ryum receives good news (Yool is dead) and bad news (Wang So is not dead). He keeps asking for Se Won and wonders why his favorite assassin hasn't returned to the Hall of Doom. Spawn of Satan and his men continue to search for So. They don't see him because he's disguised with Chang Gong's snazzy hat.
Still wondering if Yool is really dead, Shik Ryum sends his crony to Chunghae to verify her death. Yool has to literally play dead as the crony checks her for a pulse. The crony is convinced - for now.
Meanwhile at the palace, King Sane finds an old hidden message from his late father. The old king advises the current king to abdicate in favor of Wang So. Wang Uk comes to the palace to let the king know about the assassination attempt on Yool. With the bride-to-be supposedly dead, the royal wedding is officially called off.
Cheong Ok, under her gisaeng guise, comes to visit her favorite customer. In truth it's so she can scope out Poong's palace for Wang So. Oh no, her cover has been blown! Spawn of Satan plans to use her to lay a trap for the prince but So already knows Cheong Ok has been taken prisoner and comes to rescue her.
Yool is tying up loose ends at Chunghae before she sneaks away. She tells her "family" that when Wang So returns to the city, they should continue with the subterfuge of her being dead. It's for his own good (in her mind) as Shik Ryum would only use her as a weapon against So if the truth was known.
Yool, back in her Gaebong disguise, and Baek Myo slip out of town to a shack in the countryside. There she is treated for her illness by doctors sent by Yeo Won.
Wang So (who is not disguised well at all) slips in with the other conscripted workers. He doesn't stay undercover for long when he sees another man being beaten by Poong's guards. Wang So comes to the man's defense and rallies the other laborers to the prince's side.
