Do-il informs In-joo about Hwa-young being alive in Singapore. Oh In-joo tells her they should rush to save the 70 billion won before she withdraws them. In-joo agrees to leave for Singapore with Do-il.
Meanwhile, Sang-ha is inside the room with injuries on her arm and Jae-sang apologizes for hurting her. He states that he had no choice but Sang-ha is still upset with him. Jae-sang tells her to endure it for some more time and be presentable for the following day when she will greet the public as the wife of the Mayor on live television. Sang-ha asks him to protect her no matter what and Jae-sang states that it is what he has been doing since he was a child. ..
The veteran In-kyung tells them how Hee-jae had attacked one of his crew’s peaceful protests in the past. He reveals that Hee-jae was part of a secret operation after which many war veterans had returned from the mission as if they were possessed by the orchid ghost.
Just then, In-kyung gets a call from her sister In-joo who tells her that she is on her way to Singapore. She calls In-kyung to go to Singapore in the next few days and tells her to keep her emergency phone charged alongside In-hye’s too.
In-hye and Hyo-rin are looking at the CCTV footage and the latter of the two hacks into the 12 cameras they have at the Park family house. She opens a safe and takes out some bank passbooks to all the international accounts under her name in countries all around the world. In-joo and Do-il arrive at her hotel in Singapore and he leaves In-joo to check into the accommodation herself before the auction the following day.
In-joo is checking into a hotel in Seoul. When she tries to check herself in, the receptionist is shocked to see her passport and the hotel Manager apologises for keeping her waiting. In-joo uses a translator to let the men know she doesn’t know English and asks them to take her on a tour of the hotel.
The manager tells In-joo about the orchid competition and that In-joo had been the gold medalist at the competition for the past three years. In-joo is shocked by this revelation and the manager claims that In-joo had been making her bids through phone calls, much like how Sang-ha told her.
In-joo tells Hyo-rin that she was the most important person in the Orchid world and In-hye is suddenly very happy. In-hye helps Hyo-rin go inside Sang-ha’s room through the window and Hyo-rin finds her mother sleeping with bruises on her leg.
Sang-ha is happy to meet Hyo-rin, but when the daughter mentions her note, Sang-ha’s face changes color. Sang-ha says that she made up with Jae-sang and that she was going to stay behind. In-hye hears the conversation from outside the door and Hyo-rin is upset. ..
In-joo is overwhelmed by the importance given to her name. When she goes downstairs, she finds Choi Hee-jae looking at her Investigation Board.
In-kyung tells Hee-jae that Hye-suk was never a part of the Jeongran Society and that she had completely left the group after General Won’s wife passed. Hee-jae asks her to stop investigating the case and states that no one would believe a drunkard and a stalker. She calls her former boss in front of Hee-jae and asks if she will be allowed to report.
Hee-jae agrees to the interview and asks her to follow him. In his vanity, there are a lot of weapons and explosives. In-kyung is shocked to see this and Hee-jae says that Do-il was the only reason he went away all those years ago and him being in danger is the reason why Hee-jae was back.
She wonders if Hee-jae is planning to kill Jae-sang and the latter tells him that this is the only way they will make it on the 9am news. In-kyung tells him that she will not condone his plan. The two argue over their ideologies until In-kyung reveals the ledgers which have a detailed account of all the bad things done by Park Jae-sang and General Won’s families.
She is able to convince Hee-jae to drop his own plan and stick by hers, but he threatens to kill Jae-sang on national TV if she fails. The next day, In-joo goes around all the places Hwa-young had been through her Instagram handle. She meets Do-il and they talk to the cafe bistro about the woman in the photograph – Hwa-young. ..
A barista at a coffee shop in Seoul, South Korea, recognized Oh In-joo, a regular customer, and asked if she had a twin. When Do-il and In-joo left the coffee shop to investigate, they were followed by people who knew who she was. They went to In-joo’s apartment under her name but were unable to get in because of the passcode. ..
The security arrives and wonders how In-joo looks different from Ms Oh they know. Do-il and In-joo are in his car when they are both shocked to learn that there is another person in Singapore that looks just like her.
They conclude that the other In-joo will be at the auction that is starting soon so Do-il drives her to the hotel where he has prepared an outfit for In-joo. At the hotel, he is impressed with the way In-joo looks. He gives her some jewellery as a present and states that he will claim reimbursement once they get the money.
In-joo and Do-il arrive at the morning auction where everyone seems to recognise her. Do-il asks her to remain confident as they take their seats. In-joo is sure that Hwa-young would be there if she is alive. Do-il asks her to make a bid since it’s Sang-ha’s money anyway and she starts making the bid. A phone bid is In-joo’s competition and In-joo wins the flower – The Princes of Thieves.
Just then, the girl with the orchid tattoo leaves the auction. After the auction, In-joo is talking with the woman from the orchid festival using her translator while Do-il is on a call. One of the women says that she just saw In-joo in the bathroom in a yellow dress.
In-joo leaves to go to the bathroom but is unable to find the woman. Do-il finds In-joo and tries to calm her down. They meet the person who handled the phone bid who shares her client’s message for In-joo. The message reminds her of what Sang-woo (Sang-ha’s brother) recalled Hwa-young had said about In-joo. In-joo is sure that Hwa-young is alive.
In a phone call with Jae-sang, In-hye reveals that she was involved in Hyo-rin’s late-night rendezvous with her mother. In order to protect herself, In-hye reveals that Hyo-rin was having a panic attack and needed to see her mother immediately in order to calm down. Jae-sang warns In-hye about betraying him and In-hye mentions that Hyo-rin is the one that could be dying if she does not betray him.
The new Mayor of Seoul, Jae-sang, is surprised when Hyo-rin, a guest from Singapore, comes to the interview. Jae-sang and the other interviewees start to worry about In-joo, who has gone missing while in Singapore. In-hye and In-kyung start to worry about In-joo’s safety.
In-joo is certain that Hwa-young was the bidder who sent her a message, and Do-il asks her to calm down. He says that it could be Sang-woo who sent the message himself, as the bidder on the phone. They need to withdraw all their money immediately and a cash withdrawal is their only way to do so. ..
Do-il explains that he and his team had initiated the procedure for a cash withdrawal weeks ago, but they only had two hours to leave Singapore before they were caught. In-joo gets a text from In-kyung and she asks her to be wary of Do-il, who was sent on a mission by Jae-sang. In-joo starts doubting him.
Jae-sang is full of fury after the interview and asks Hyo-rin if Sang-ha had fled. Hyo-rin starts crying in a panic attack after he leaves. Jae-sang puts Soo-im to find Sang-ha by all means meanwhile Sang-ha is at the airport trying to flee the country. In-joo and Do-il leave the bank with the money when she asks how she can trust him.
Jae-sang had been keeping watch over her the entire night before he died. He had been monitoring her every move, and knew that she was in danger. He had left her behind to protect her, and Hyo-rin realizes that she may have been too trusting of him.
Do-il is dangerous and In-joo needs to get away from him immediately.
She is shocked after seeing something in the CCTV footage. Meanwhile, In-joo is signing the documents at the final of the seven banks with a troubled expression. In-joo follows Hwa-young’s instructions from the note and flees the bank with the 70 million won as Do-il is called inside by the manager.
She finds a car waiting for her and flees the bank to go to the apartment. Hwa-young states that she will meet In-joo there. In-hye is worried about In-joo after what she saw in the CCTV footage and calls In-kyung for help. In-joo’s car is being followed and it suddenly meets with an accident. In-joo is bleeding and unconscious in the car as In-kyung continues to call her. ..
In South Korea, In-kyung is worried sick when she wakes up to find that her friend In-joo is in the hospital. In-joo has been unconscious and hallucinating Hwa-young at the hospital when she suddenly wakes up. Do-il arrives at the hospital only to find that the bed is empty and the suitcase of money missing. ..
In-joo is surprised to see Hwa-young running into the apartment complex, and she asks what’s going on. Hwa-young tells In-joo that she needs to talk to her about something important, and In-joo is hesitant at first but then decides to go along with it. They walk into the apartment complex, and as they enter the building, they see a man running toward them. The man is wearing a black suit and he has a gun in his hand.
In-hye shows Hyo-rin the footage of Sang-ha’s room from the night of Hwa-young’s death. According to the footage, Sang-ha left with a coat and returned back without wearing it and Hwa-young’s body was discovered dressed in a coat. In-joo can’t believe that Hwa-young is really dead. ..
Sang-ha tells In-joo that her adventures in Singapore were all part of a grand scheme. She mentions that all the people around her were great actors and that In-joo was the focus of the entire act. ..
In-joo asks when it all started and Sang-ha mentions that her interview for the job was the first instance. She mentions that Hwa-young was also a part of the act and she was the person who would develop In-joo’s character and was killed off when the time was right for her.
It has been revealed that In-joo’s death was premeditated and that she was supposed to fall off the building any time now. In-joo asks if In-hye will be safe after her death, while Sang-ha states that the youngest sister would join her family to keep Hyo-rin’s heart. ..
In-joo is passing out and she wonders how she can be sleepy at a time like this. It turns out she’s been drinking tea made of the blue ghost orchids and mentions that she will be pushing In-joo off the building when she is still conscious so that she can see herself die.
In-joo asks to see her 70 million won once and she agrees. Sang-ha opens the suitcase to find bricks inside. In-joo gets off her seat and mocks Sang-ha, putting the gun Do-il gave her on a shocked Sang-ha.
The Episode Review
The last episode was average. This episode was seriously so much better! I was sure Sang-ha would come out to be the bad guy and it is obvious why Jae-sang wanted to keep her locked just because he was aware of what kind of a maniac she was. ..
It was Sang-ha inside the car when Jae-sang went to Hwa-young’s room to kill her and it was Sang-ha’s people that were trying to confuse In-joo. The episode was one shock after another but the biggest being that Do-il actually likes In-joo.
It’s too soon for him to be trusted, but I think he actually is behind this plan. I wonder why Jae-sang asked for In-joo to be killed if he was aware of Sang-ha’s insane game.
In the final four episodes of Little Women, we are left with a lot more to explore and a lot more shocking plot twists that are waiting for us. Bring on the surprises!
