Madam Oh Moon Seon tells the abalone divers to leave West Gate Market Brokers and removes Kang Yoo Ji as Foreman. She will give Lord Jung Do Woong 50% of the silk store's income because they botched up the abalone contract. Kim Man Deok returns the jade ring, a symbol of friendship, to Moon Seon, saying thought Moon Seon would change from the time she manipulated Hwasoon, Daebang Kang's wife, to get him kicked out. Jeju island receives news that the tribute ship bound for Hanyang capsized, the goods were buried at sea, and the ship was being repaired at Gangjin, but the whole island will be in trouble if they don't send the goods in time for the royal wedding and the new Queen's coronation. The Magistrate gathers the goods again. Although West Gate is the only market broker with a ship, Man Deok proposes that East Gate Market Brokers enter the open bidding to win the tribute goods transport contract and lease a private merchant ship with full disclosure of operating expenses and precise profit sharing. Yoo Ji plans for the ship he owns to get the contract, so he puts pressure on merchants to not deal with East Gate, which pleases Moon Seon. Having no luck renting a ship, Man Deok hears of a gambling addict, a Captain Hwang, who has lost all ships but one. She rents his ship for 50 Nyangs and has him sign a letter of intent; she agrees to give him 200 Nyangs for deposit the next day. Hwang's ship is in Haenam and he needs money to bring it to Jeju. Moon Seon decides to appeal to Lord Jung for help in regaining commercial dominance. The gamblers beat Hwang. Moon Seon gives them the Man Deok's jade ring to show Man Deok when she comes looking for Hwang. Jung Hong Soo joins the Board of Punishments as Assistant Section Chief. The doctor advises Madam Oh that wearing a girdle is making the fetus weak and suggests she stop wearing it, but she is non-committal.
