The candidates were gathered and evaluated based on the tasks they did for each department they were assigned to. Rio, of course, was praised by the king because of the proposals he gave to the Drukpah's council. It would have been nice to hear this proposal for us to really know if it really was any good, though. In any case, Jao was asked by the king to stay. The king pointed out how he was unable to treat his followers nicely, which was also the opportunity to lecture him about a good leader's characteristics and all.
Meanwhile, Mikay says her goodbyes to her family and bestfriend. Kiko earned another pinch in the nose and cheeks for this. We are given a verbal annoucement from the king to his adviser that the reason the candidates were delegated tasks is to train and choose from them a successor. The king broods about this decision once again and he goes to a hazy, daydream-like state where he talks to the late Queen Isabel and tells her of his plans. He, then, asks for forgiveness because he has to replace the lost Princess Areeyah. She goes in for a hug and disappears in haze.
Mikay, in a nice comparison to the previous manner, dreams of being in Yangdon and we first see her dressing up as Princess Areeyah. She's woken up by the plane's announcer (if that's what they are really called) and sees Mount Everest by the window. Plans of finding a successor of the throne was also announced by the king in the council's meeting.
Mikay comes to Yangdon and we are given some basic background about the kingdom which is pretty much the same things narrated before in the first few weeks of the show. A slew of pictures showing good places of Bhutan look particularly interesting. She comes to her hotel and bumps over a guest. She throws so many Japanese words to her (some quite familiar and I'm trying to rationalize this act but I can't) but responds to her in English. Mikay and Jao meet for the first time as she asks him to take a picture of her. He declines at first saying he's busy but gives in afterwards. He shows his hotheadedness again by doing everything half-heartedly and irritably.
Dinoy asks Bianca to clean the house but she tells him that she'll do it later when Dindi comes home. She tells her she can't do it because she's allergic (good strategy). Her father comments that without Mikay their house would look like a furrowing house. To this Bianca slyly remarks that Mikay is the one causing trouble in the house.
The tourist guide tells the story of the royal family and why the Festival of the Flying Kite is celebrated annually - in celebration of the princess’ birthday. In an attempt at irony, Mikay says that the princess is so lucky as she's been loved and awaited by so many people. She tells that she doesn't even know her true birthday.
Mikay teary-eyedly eats a snack outside as she learns the cost of the food in the hotel's restaurant. She sees a child, sitting alone near a building and gives the snack to her. Mikay gets influenza and a Filipina friend gives her medicine. She's also left behind by the bus because she took her medicine upstairs (HAHA). Fortunately, a good-natured local asks her where the bus is headed to and says she can come with them since they are also going to the same place. There's some glitch, though, since Jao is with him.
