Are we going to get fully into the fake marriage trope in this episode? Let’s find out!

Wee is at a crossroads at the end of the last episode. His grandmother’s cancer is not getting any better, and with a rich centenarian currently married to you? Of course you’re going to plot. I don’t blame him!

So the actual episode starts out with Wee trying to move in with San, because they are a married couple after all! And also because he’s afraid that he might get ambushed again, which is a perfectly valid reason to move in! San’s got the resources and the martial arts skills! Wee’s also got an ally in Tao, who tells San that Wee’s luck helps him out and having him nearby is only going to be good.

Despite his misgivings, San finally agrees to the arrangement and of course Wee cases the place while Chu is bringing him to his room — which is right across San’s. Chu, being the slash enabler that she is, actually wanted Wee to room in with San but of course that isn’t happening.

Later at lunch? dinner? Wee gets the chance to regale San’s family with stories of his life in poverty, such as sleeping under tollways and being made to think it was just camping. Which of course triggers that protective instinct in San and we love it.

When night falls Wee tries to get into a room in the house that supposedly houses all the antiques that San has collected over the years, but he’s drawn away from this by San’s nightly poison ordeal. Of course he tries to comfort it him, and Ton’s words are proven true when San gets some relief with Wee beside him. There’s a little awkwardness when San wakes up in Wee’s arms, but it looks like he may finally be warming up to him.

Or maybe not! Maybe he’s still in denial because in a later conversation with Tao, San’s still hanging on to the hope that maybe there’s a woman born in the exact same conditions as Wee, which leads Ton to ask if San hates Wee that much.

Meanwhile, back at San’s house, Wee gets into a little argument with Suchat, who is projecting his own nefarious plans onto him, not knowing that Wee is kinda planning the same thing as well — take the magic stone for himself. Wee overhears Suchat telling San that he’s looking for the “real” reincarnated Wad and I guess he’s planning something to counter that.

Bur first, a product placement! I can’t take a screenshot because I’m watching this show on Netflix but it’s this toothpaste brand!

The next day while talking to his fellow slave to capitalism, we find out Wee isn’t convinced he’s the reincarnated Wad either, but he’s not about to lose the perks he’s getting now to some random hussy somewhere in Chiang Rai. At least, not until he gets the magic stone.

Wee tries once more to get into the antique room and wouldn’t you know it, somebody left it open. As Wee looks around searching for the magic stone, we find out why the room was open in the first place — San was already inside. And there’s some first class convoluted falling into another person’s arms choreography here but I can’t screenshot it!

The two talk after Chu cleans up the mess, and San tells Wee that he must be uncomfortable about being fake married to a man and worried about what other people may think. But Wee is a bisexual disaster and says he doesn’t care what other people think and that he’s dated both men and women. And he also adds that he hasn’t just dated them. He’s fucked them too. Oh San, baby, you’re in trouble.

With a little unintentional help from Chu who tells him that San had a wet dream about him after they first met, Wee comes up with a plan of attack. Get San so horny for him that in the end he’ll shared the magic stone with him. I am all for this plan, Wee!

Unfortunately, Wee is rizzless. Or at least has not rizzed up someone like San before. But when his initial approach fails he takes off his shirt instead which is a tried and true approach, after all. And then he runs his hands down his shirtless torso and there’s even a nipple focus and I can’t believe this was aired on national Thai TV? San throws him out of the room, but you can see it in his eyes. He wants the cock.

And then he dreams about Wee again but this time around I think it’s Buddhist-inspired? Wee is some sort of kitsune or whatever the equivalent is in Thai culture? Anyway, Wee is tempting him and the scene is kinda blowing my mind? Like the kiss is awkward and like one of those K-drama kisses but the lead up to it was so great I don’t mind? Anyways, San cums to a dream about Wee again.

The next day San tries desperately to convince Tao that Wee is indeed some sort of kitsune, but Tao thinks that he should just accept the fact that he wants to bend over Wee. But that’s not the most important thing right now because Tao for some unexplained reason, brought the stone back to the house, the same house the prince already knows about and his goons already know about.

The prince draws San and his family out of the house by “kidnapping” one of them, although I put it in quotes because I seriously think Chu’s grandpa is with the bad guys as well. The keys to the house are left with Wee and he doesn’t look this gift horse in the mouth and immediately searches for the magic stone that he finds. And then he gets stabbed after. Fuck.
