Just as Lady YIM is getting carried away after learning about the secret, Emperor JIAQING appears and reiterates that they should keep it secret because it is embarrassing, eventually putting the two noble consorts to death. Right in front of the late Lady SHUN's coffin, MAN-HO and MAN-JING are so sad that they break out in tears. Following that, Emperor JIAQING gets very suspicious, so he summons MAN-HO to ask him about the progress of the alleged assassination attempt involving CHEUNG PO-TSAI, implying that someone must die.

Seeking to pry into the matter, Lady YIM goes to ask Lady SHUN for the secret cure for the scarlet fever, and she takes advantage of the situation to raise doubts about MAN-HO's sudden recovery. Ever since their submission to the government, CHEUNG PO-TSAI and the others have the government official titles conferred on them by the Emperor.

CHENG YAT has become old and frail, which places him at a disadvantage. In view of this, SHEK KIU gives him a hand, which on the contrary renders CHENG YAT disqualified from the competition. In the nick of time, CHEUNG PO-TSAI rushes back to duke it out with WONG YI.

CHEUNG PO-TSAI's attempt to attack the naval barracks ends in failure, inflicting not only heavy casualties on the pirate forces but also serious injuries on himself. Feeling very guilty, CHEUNG PO-TSAI blames himself for not having listened to TAI-MUI's advice. MAN-HO is afraid that CHEUNG PO-TSAI might take advantage of the heavy fog to launch a counter attack, so he decides to wait until the next day to wipe out the remnants of the pirates. Meanwhile, CHENG YAT and the others also plan to lead the final strike against the navy early next morning.

Due to earlier debacle, MAN-HO sparks an idea which is to purchase western cannons. However, SHEUNG TAK, the person in charge of foreign affairs, does not know any foreign languages; whereas the most outstanding one among the brokers is WONG YAT-HIN. MAN-HO discovers that HA SIM's uncle turns out be to YAT-HIN, so he specifically pays a visit to him. After MAN-HO invites YAT-HIN to his residence, YAT-HIN arrogantly demands semi-annual military pay and Prince's residence as his commission fee of helping them purchase the western cannons, to which YEE-TAI is strongly opposed. Ever since she turned down CHEUNG PO-TSAI's marriage proposal, TAI-MUI has made a number of enemies in the water stockade, coming under attack from all sides.

Suddenly, Lady YIM shows up, triggering a power struggle between her and Lady SHUN. Not wanting HA SIM to fall victim to the murderous menace of YEE-TAI, MAN-HO tries his best to safeguard her. During the ensuing stand-off between the two parties, LAI GONG GONG appears in time to extricate them from the dilemma. CHEUNG PO-TSAI goes to have a word with SHEK KIU, discussing with her how to secure CHENG YAT a second term as the Commander of the Seven Seas. Through their conversation, SHEK KIU senses that CHEUNG PO-TSAI seems to have a thing for TAI-MUI. Later on, SHEK KIU picks up a note indicating that she committed adultery.

After interrogating HA SIM, MAN-HO gets to know that she is under Lady YIM's instruction to keep an eye on him, so he immediately kicks her out of his residence. YEE-TAI does not have any children, but fortunately for him, he adopts FOOK-CHEUNG as his son from the clan, and he takes his son to pay a visit to Lady YIM. When Lady SHUN tries to comfort HA SIM, HA SIM instead recalls that the missing page of the proposal might end up in the garden. In order to clear her name, she goes to the garden to look for the missing page.… ...
