We’re back to Hwang Yong, getting questioned by the prosecutor. In his mind’s eye, he sees himself taking his black book of transactions from his work safe and putting it in his home office safe. The key code? 2011-5-28. That date is also on the painting hanging in front of the safe, the one he purchased on that day. He keeps his mouth shut in front of the prosecutor.Tae Won has a plan; frankly speaking, he informs the family that he’ll accept Soon Geum because – and only because – of her money. The doorbell rings, and it’s Da Kyum and Zar Lin calling for Soo Jung and Hyun Joo. They just received word that Hwang Yong was arrested for buying their ticket!All the maids plus Young Hee and Gun Woo gather at Hwang Yong’s home to discuss. They find out that Soon Geum knew he was a gangster, which makes them even more scared of him. Back at home, Soon Geum regrets ever going to Hwang Yong to sell the ticket. Gun Woo relieves her by telling her the truth – the whole truth. That Tae Won purchased the ticket; that the robbery led to a lottery ticket swap; that Hwang Yong gave the real one back to Gun Woo so that he could give it back to his father; and that Gun Woo never gave the ticket to his father.
All they have to do now is for Gun Woo to give the maids the real ticket, present it to the bank and redeem it (thus proving that they have the ticket and lessen Hwang Yong’s sentence), and then give Gun Woo the money that they receive from the bank. The ticket is also in the company, so he’ll get it tomorrow.
Little do they know, Tae Won just overheard the whole thing outside Gun Woo’s open door.
Hwang Yong gets a visitor in jail – Yoon Joo. Since he’s being watched, he has a simple – but odd – request for her. He has a painting that he recently bought, but hasn’t been able to enjoy it. He wants Yoon Joo to clean out his room, and throw away all his dirty things. It’s clearly code for “Throw away the painting and look at the safe!” but only us smart viewers would know that.
Yoon Joo says she’ll do it, but later outside she scoffs – she’s no maid! She does see Young Hee driving Hyun Joo and the Three Maids up to the jail though.
Hwang Yong had wanted to see Hyun Joo as well, and he repeats the same request to her. What – so now he wants everyone to discover his safe?! Hyun Joo misunderstands and tells him that she’s going to quit her job soon, and no longer clean the house for him. Hwang Yong is left alone again, with no one who can understand his request and help him. In the offices, Gun Woo checks to make sure the coast is clear, and then withdraws the lottery ticket from his locked drawer. Suddenly someone says, “Let me see that.” It’s Tae Won – he’s caught! Tae Won comments that a college graduate shouldn’t be buying the lotto, but he sneakily lets his hand slide from Gun Woo’s arm to his hand, and they start wrestling the ticket from each other’s hands.
And then – IT RIPS INTO HALF!Granny Choon Jak is very feeble now but still insists on going out and doing some chores. She falls, dropping a bunch of fresh seafood, and a neighbor comes by to help her, taking her to task for being active when she should be resting. She writes up her will and bequeaths her small meager savings and her house to Gun Woo.Back at the house, everyone silently eats the food Soon Geum’s set out. Hyun Joo urges Yoon Joo and Tae Won to quickly say what it is they have to say, and that’s when Tae Won brings in his lawyer Mr. Lee.
The purpose of this little get-together is for Tae Won and Yoon Joo to congratulate all the maids in winning the lottery. They mockingly clap at everyone else, and then Tae Won holds up his half of the ticket. Yes – he bought the ticket from Hwang Yong, and since he got ensnared by Hwang Yong’s misdeeds, he wants to give back the ticket. But – he wants his money first before he hands over the ticket.
No one has any more money to spare, as all of them have spent it in some way or are preparing to purchase a house. But they promise to hand over the winnings from the lottery ticket straight over to him. Yoon Joo points out that Hyun Joo hasn’t bought the house yet, and so that can be used to pay them off.The party is moved outside, and Soon Geum brings out a bowl of fruits. Another tomato drops on the ground, so she picks it up and cleans it on her apron. Before she can put it in her mouth, Gun Woo grabs it and eats it – this is not the time for her to act so frugal in front of everyone. The lawyer confirms that Tae Won has 4 billion Won in his account, and Tae Won goads Hyun Joo into hand him the remaining 1 billion that is her share by pointing out her own selfishness.
As Hyun Joo hurries to her home, the police arrive, and everyone nervously watches as the prosecutor makes his way to Tae Won. He snickers at the sight that Tae Won is neighbors with Hwang Yong. Soon Geum sends an urgent text telling Hyun Joo to be careful. Suddenly Hyun Joo remembers the painting in Hwang Yong’s office. She knows that he was telling her about this, and notices the date, but she didn’t quite figure it all out yet when the cops come ringing at her doorbell.
She has no choice but to let the police in, as they have a warrant. The police overturn the place, searching for every possible clue, and they find the safe. They crack it open and start confiscating all the gold and cash. The prosecutor spots Hyun Joo inching closer to the steamer that’s cooking on the stove. Thinking she’s hiding something, he goes over and uncovers it. It’s just stacks of dumplings, and Hyun Joo quickly says that she cooked some knowing that Hwang Yong liked it. He orders her to stop making them, and walks off, leaving Hyun Joo shivering in fright.Back at the Hwang Residence, Soo Jung helps Hyun Joo with the dumpling steamer, and uncovers the last tier. All the way at the bottom lies the black book of names in a ziploc bag.They look through it and notice Soon Geum’s name as one of the transactions. Soo Jung gets the bright idea of blackmailing Hwang Yong with this for more money, but Hyun Joo will have none of it. She burns the book, claiming to do it for Soon Geum’s sake.The next morning everyone splits up into two cars – Tae Won, Yoon Joo, Soo Jung, and Hyun Joo in Young Hee’s sports car.Yoon Joo looks over the ticket and notes the phone number in the back. She asks out loud whose number it is, but no one is really paying attention to her. Hyun Joo grabs it, wanting to look at the number, but of course Yoon Joo won’t let go. Young Hee is so lost in thought that he catches the red light just in time and slams the breaks. The force of the stop make the Two Joo’s let go of the ticket – and off it goes flying…
