Mikay's mother still dissuades her from going to Yangdon even though she tells her that they can use the pocket money to pay for the expenses in the house. Meanwhile, Behati tells Jao he must win, show himself worthy of getting the throne. By hook or by crook.
Mikay's father gives his first camera to her daughter, telling her to go to Yangdon. He says, "Bring Yangdon home. For me and for your mother."
Jao, spurred by his mother's words, came early to the training site. They played archery and Jao missed his first target leaving others and the king quite disappointed. Jao's rival, Rio, was the only person among the pack of men who hit the target. To heighten up the rivalry, the king expressed his praise on Rio's skills.
Mikay sees her parents quarrel over the Yangdon issue. Her mother, like Bianca, seems to be particularly irritable and jealous of Mikay.
Behati visits the training site of to-be Drukpahs and gives them food to eat. I don't know if I should apply Filipino concepts or culture here but if it can be applied, this gesture would, in a way, mean bribery. On the other hand, the king assigned each of the pack of men a department where they are to preside on meetings. Rio was given the department of Drukpah while Jao was assigned as the festival coordinator.
Kiko gives Mikay info about Yangdon and says, he will not enjoy her stay there because he will not be there with her. In all fairness, I like their rapport. Or maybe I'm just biased because I like men with glasses who at the same time can sing?
In another manipulation maneuver, Behati wounds herself and cries aloud so as to be heard by the king brooding nearby. The king comes to her and asks what's wrong. Playing the innocent child, she says she doesn't know that the king is here and tells him nothing is wrong (oooohhh, old widow is upping her tricks). The king commands her to let him see the wound and inspects her hands. Of course, the camera would focus on glinting eyes.
Jao prepares the Yangdon kite festival and is being abhorred (haha) by his subordinates because of his picky personality and very cold demeanor. The good thng is, they can report his behavior to the king and they are quite sure it will be acted upon. Now I'm quite thankful the show is not filmed only in the Philippines.
Kiko gives Mikay a bagful of snacks along with some pocket money, since Mikay has given hers to her mother. It was rejected at first but Kiko, thankfully, managed to persuade her to take it by saying she should buy him pasalubong. A souvenir that would serve as a memory from a place given to Filipinos who knows you are going out of town. In a very cute scene, the two bestfriends bicker and fight over a bracelet. Kiko tickles Mikay to ease off her anxieties (Y U NO EXIST IN REAL WORLD) and helps her put the bracelet in her hands. At the end of the episode, Mikay's mother visits her in her room while she's asleep. Mikay miraculously wakes up and before her mother leaves, thanks her.
