Yu Shin and Deok Man agonize over the issues of Gaya movement. Deok Man insists that the leader be beheaded but Yu Shin strong opposes it. They stop talking and avoid each other. 

Grain price skyrockets, resulting in killing incidents in the market. Deok Man starts to look into the movements of the traders and finds out that it was the nobles who purchased the grain at high prices. She however cannot understand the reason why and comes to consult with Mi Shil. Bi Dam is now in charge of guiding Chun Chu, in replacement of Yu Shin. Deok Man eventually figures out the reason of the market price surge and starts to implement countermeasures. Very soon the surge subsides, much to the dismay of the nobles.
