San is anxious about the possibility of His Majesty treating Dan-oh poorly upon summoning her to the palace. San remains as close to Dan-oh as he can, but his concerns for her well-being persist.

Meanwhile, San is scheduled to meet his friend in secrecy but soon finds himself surrounded by uninvited guests.
