Spirit world, spirit problems...
----
Bao has a relatively frank talk with their mother, and promises to choose Saowon over Takada should the time come. 
The group reunites and crosses into the spirit world... which is devoid of spirits. Dan does notice one familiar face and barters for a meeting with The Face-Stealer. 
Yeong-Soo picks a plateau to pitch tents, and the erections are soon followed by explosions - everyone's pack was bombed! Once that situation is diffused, another arrives through the portal - Southern Special Forces here to arrest the gang for crimes against the spirits. Dan takes the opportunity to slip away to meet Koh. Xhai convinces Yeong-Soo to bail while Bao barters - discovering that Tatik may have been working against them all along. Soon they, too, are convinced by their cousin to rejoin Dan leaving the remaining Saowons surrendering. 
Koh is met, Dan's suspicions are confirmed, shocking faces are revealed, but everyone leaves unscathed - with the conversation recorded by documentarian Madrival. 
Will Takada step down in the face of overwhelming evidence? Will Bao save their family's status? Will Dan find the library and balance the scales? Will Tatik attack?
