Chairman Yang and his gang came to Dr. Han’s house looking for him, but they found him tied up on a chair. One of the gang members was about to knock him out when Chang-ho and his people entered and told them to hand him over. The two groups fought, but Chang-ho got Dr. Han away.
In the prison hospital, Chang-ho tries to get Dr. Han to tell him what is in Professor Seo’s paper. But Dr. Han is too scared, implying that there are people more powerful than Gong Ji-hoon involved.
Chairman Yang and Chang-ho had a conversation in which it was revealed that their fight was staged in order to provoke Dr. Han. Later, Chang-ho crumpled a tarot card and said it was now Big Mouse’s turn. ..
Jang Hye-jin, Han’s wife, has gone into hiding at the hospital. Mi-ho rushes to help a patient who is collapsing but is stopped by the staff since he is a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ patient. She later finds out that as per the hospital rules, he is to be cremated and not buried.
She sneaks into the morgue and collects blood samples from his body. Outside, she is caught by Joo-hee. The head nurse pats her down but can’t find anything. Mayor Choi turns up as this is happening. Him and his wife have dinner afterwards, but he is lost in thought about Mi-ho and Chang-ho.
Mi-ho returns to the morgue and retrieves the blood samples she had hidden there. On her way back down, she is attacked in the elevator. Luckily, the doors open in time and Mayor Choi is there to help her. The assailant escapes. Mi-ho hands over the blood samples to her father’s contact at the National Forensic Service, in order to have them tested. ..
Someone donates a new statue of Mother Mary, which is installed in the church. Chang-ho later puts a Chariot tarot card in the bible — a bold act to obtain victory and also a trap for Big Mouse. He claims that by this time the next day, he’ll know who Big Mouse is.
A person is shown entering the church but we don’t see their face. ..
Chang-ho walks around the city with a copy of the novel “The Count of Monte Cristo.” When he next looks at the Bible in the church, it is empty. He strides over to the statue of Mother Mary.
We see a flashback of Soon-tae handing him the novel with a phone hidden inside. That was also when Chang-ho instructed him to anonymously donate a Mother Mary statue — with a hidden camera!
Jerry tells Chang-ho that he’s sorry, but he can’t help what he does. Chang-ho is heartbroken, but Jerry says that it’s not his fault and that he should have known better. They both agree to meet again soon.
Chang-ho realises he is speaking the truth when he sees a thirty-minute time skip on the video. At the same time, Mi-ho calls him and tells him she received white flowers with a tarot card — The Fool. Big Mouse has warned him.
Jerry then calls out Chang-ho as a fake and demands to know who the real Big Mouse is. But Chang-ho tells him to stay away if he doesn’t want his life to be ruined further.
Prosecutor Choi met with the VIPs and Gong Ji-hoon. They discussed the trial strategy until Ji-hoon received a call saying that the Elder wanted them all to gather in the movie theatre. They did so, and were joined by the other members of the NR Forum, including Mayor Choi, his wife, and the old man in a wheelchair. In the theatre, they watched a video on Gucheon’s history, detailing how it was developed from ruins by a group of people led by Chairman Kang Sung-geun. ..
After the Elder’s speech, he discusses the people who built Gucheon today and have now passed away. He reveals a prosthetic leg and berates the people present for thinking they are masters when all they’ve done is meet good parents. He claims his final wish is to find a worthy successor who can continue the glory of Gucheon. ..
The Mayor brings out a photograph of a group of four people, seemingly a family. The photograph was also present in the video they were shown. The four people in the photograph are unknown to the Mayor, but it is clear that they are related to one another. It is possible that this group is related to the person who killed Mayor Choi.
Gong Ji-hoon is singing at a karaoke bar when Prosecutor Choi arrives and tells him to do something to get back in the Elder’s good books. He convinces him to try getting the money back from Big Mouse once more and gestures to a mysterious black bag in his hand. ..
Jerry has been keeping his distance from Chang-ho. He gets a visit from his younger sister who reveals someone is sponsoring her education and their grandmother’s healthcare. The sponsor turns out to be none other than Gong Ji-hoon.
Jerry arrives back in their cell and claims he is being released. He hands everyone energy drinks as a gift, giving a specific bottle over to Chang-ho.
Jerry leaves the prison, assuring himself that Chang-ho won’t die, he’ll just be in pain, as Gong Ji-hoon had said so. But just then an ambulance exits the prison. Mi-ho and her father arrive at the exact moment and Jerry informs them that Chang-ho is in the ambulance and tells them to follow it. They realise the ambulance isn’t going to any of the nearby hospitals. With some speedy driving on Mi-ho’s father’s part, they manage to block the ambulance and take Chang-ho to Mi-ho’s hospital instead.
Gong Ji-hoon takes Chang-ho’s unconscious body to a hospital. Someone put their fingerprints on a paper and then handed it over to Gong.
Mi-ho and Chang-ho talk as he recovers. Chang-ho asks if they can ever go back to their ordinary life. She tells him to be strong. ..
Chang-ho wakes up in a white-walled room with no idea how he got there. He is restrained and has a tube down his throat. He tries to remember what happened but all he can recall is fighting and being overpowered by the guards. The last thing he remembers is going in the wrong direction and then…nothing. ..
The Episode Review
Episode 7 didn’t quite live up to what Chang-ho was meant to have up his sleeve. While Chairman Yang’s double bluff was a good one, the whole deal with Dr. Han didn’t amount to much. The other two VIPs seem happy to be out too, but maybe Chang-ho’s playing a longer game than we know. ..
The show does a great job of keeping the viewer engaged with its mystery and suspense. Each episode features a new mystery to solve and the chase is always exciting. The characters are well-drawn and the plot is compelling. The show never feels too predictable and it keeps you guessing until the very end.
This week’s episode of “Jerry” showed a different side to the character, making him more fleshed out than before. With his family and loyalties coming into play, it’s fascinating to dive deeper into this character. Kwak Dong-yeon does a wonderful job of making Jerry a person you can understand and even like. ..
The ending of this episode leaves Chang-ho at a mental hospital, which is not something I expected to see in this show. But it all depends on how things play out. Hopefully, they won’t stay on it for too long. ..
