We see the true extent of Jang Uk’s growth as he faces a choice that defines his character: Will he take the power for himself to protect those he loves, or will he destroy the source of conflict altogether?

Amidst the chaos, Uk and Mu-deok’s conversation about their future (and the wedding rings) provides a bittersweet moment of peace before the storm.
