We don’t know if Wut’s dead or alive based on the ending of the previous episode, but one thing we’re sure about is he got hit by a car. Let’s find out if he lives!

We don’t immediately find out the fate of Wut at the start of the episode, because what we see is Jet heading to the signing of a cooperation agreement between his father’s company and Jason/Pheem’s company. I’m guessing he’s there to break it up, but he doesn’t arrive on time and the agreement is signed. Punctuality!

Of course, Jet takes his preferred course of action, which is to scream. Sorry, as hot as the actor is, he’s not really serving ~range~. We find out that Thanet went ahead with signing with Jason and Pheem because he saw a video of Wut admitting to selling Fentanyl to Jet. I don’t know if the video is an old one and Wut is dead, or they managed to save Wut, and he’s hidden away somewhere.

But that’s something we can worry about later, because Jet and Thanet are bringing up old resentments as they argue. Thanet says he wouldn’t have had to send Pheem to Singapore if Jet and his mother didn’t constantly bitch about Pheem, while Jet says if Thanet had only loved his mother, then none of this would have happened. Jet gets slapped for that, and Thanet tells him that his mother may have been a bitch, but at least she had a brain. Jet has created nothing and contributed nothing. Ouch.

Here’s my take on this. Thanet claims he sent Pheem to Singapore to protect him from Jet and his mother, but all that’s done is make Pheem hate the family even more because to him, it didn’t feel like it was protection. He will destroy that company. But coddling your legitimate son has made him an ineffective leader. He’ll destroy the company as well, even if he doesn’t think he is. It’s all of Thanet’s bad relationship and parenting decisions coming back to bite him.

While Jet’s world is crashing around him, Pheem and Than are celebrating with some wine. But it looks like Pheem is hiding something from Than, because when Than asks why Thanet agreed to take on Jason and Pheem as business partners despite them not having Wut as a witness to Jet’s crimes, Pheem says other investors must have pressured his father. But we know that Thanet has video of Wut. Did Pheem save Wut?

And maybe I should have let the video play a little longer because we’re shown what happened! It was Arisa who rammed her car into Wut, and it’s her and Pheem who film Wut confessing to his and Jet’s crimes. We also find out that Thanet telling Jet that he was just protecting Pheem when he was young wasn’t exactly the truth, because when Pheem came to him with Wut’s confession, he wasn’t exactly siding with Pheem. However, Thanet did appreciate Pheem’s ruthlessness!

With the agreement now signed, Jason begins his moves to take over the company, which involves replacing staff with his own people and converting cash to cryptocurrency. The staff replacements, I can understand, but I don’t get how cryptocurrency helps out. But this is why I am not a business owner! Pheem tells his dad not to worry about it, because he’s got a plan to deal with Jason.

Jet, late as ever, arrives to the family home to plead with Thanet once again, and he is once again rebuffed. Both Pheem and Arisa aren’t intimidated by him either, which leads to him…crashing his car and getting himself confined to a hospital? At least his hunky bodyguard gets to take care of him. When will the two of them make out?

While Jet is recuperating and Pheem and Arisa are doing their capitalist thing, Than is still worrying about Wut and wondering where he is. He needs Wut to get back to being a policeman, because I guess Thai policemen get paid better than prvate bodyguards? I dunno. But this deception from Pheem will definitely play a part in later episodes, I’m sure of it. And there are not a lot of episodes left!

However, what we’re dealing with right now is Jason, who is supposedly going to kill Pheem if Arisa’s bodyguard is to be believed. And Jason does pull a gun on Pheem when they head to the docks to check out the medical equipment that Jason is bringing in, but Pheem doesn’t seem threatened by it because there’s a random lady who stabs Jason? Stab, stab, shoot, shoot. Then Than arrives and finally gets rid of Jason, but not before Jason gets one final shot in, hitting Pheem’s abdomen.

I mean, how are you going to explain this to investors? The co-owner died in a shootout? Was stabbed to death? What’s the succession plan for Jason’t other businesses? Who was the lady that started stabbing Jason? These questions will need to be answered some other time, because Pheem is rushed to the hospital to get treated for his gunshot wound.

Pheem survives — duh, he’s the lead — and we also find out that the lady who stabbed Jason was antoher business owner that Jason had swindled before. That way, Jason is out of the picture, and nobody from Thanavej is implicated. Thanet is very happy about this, but Arisa looks worried. Interesting.

Pheem’s aunt is also worried about what happened to Jason and confronts Pheem about it. She doesn’t approve of all that Pheem has done, and even asks if it wasn’t just Arisa who arranged the death of the government official. Is this confirmation, or is Pheem’s aunt just speculating. Either way, she thinks that Pheem is starting to become like his father, and I gotta say that it would be disappointing if they decide to make this into a show where Pheem realizes the errors of vengance and begins to appreciate the simple life instead because that is tired. Tired and expired.

Than arrives just as Pheem’s aunt leaves, so are we going to get some hurt/comfort? Pheem is recuperating, after all. And we do kinda get that trope, except the hurt that Than comforts are emotional and psychological hurts that Pheem has sustained over the years. Then they kiss, but it’s sudddenly cut short, so I’m guessing the uncut video is on iQiyi and I am telling you all I do not have the money for another subscription so if someone can be fishy to the fish and send me a link to the uncut scene.

And they apparently cut out a lot because the next scene we get is the two of them shirtless in bed? They cut out a sex scene? Why’d they have to seel the rights of this show to iQiyi when Netflix was right there. Also, why can’t they show that here? Freaking My Golden Blood has a vampire GOONING and BATING in the bathtub?!?

We then get a toothpaste product placement, because I guess Than needed to brush his teeth after sucking on that dick. We then get a dating montage where these two Thai homos go to a pottery making class where they do the Ghost thing. They buy souvenirs, go back home and do a kitchen appliance product placement, it’s all very domestic and cute.

The next day, Pheem gets his aunt to check his gunshot wound, and they patch things up between the two of them. Pheem tells his aunt that he doesn’t want to be like his dad and end up alone, especially now that he’s getting dicked down. Good dick can do that to you, I guess!

They meet up with Than’s policemen friends after, and this is where the first speed bump of their burgeoning relationship shows up. One of Than’s policeman friends has figured out that it was Pheem who had Than’s little bar place destroyed back in episode two, and when Than subtly tries to bring it up, Pheem continues to lie about it.

When his policeman friend asks him what he’s going to do about it, Than admits that he doesn’t want to lose Pheem. But that fondness he feels for him might be strained even further as the news reports that Wut has died. For real-real this time, not for play-play.

Than confronts Jet, since he thinks he’s the one who did this, but Than doesn’t get the answers that he wants because Jet points him towards Pheem instead, revealing that Pheem got him out of the company thanks to a video of Wut confessing. Than searches through Pheem’s home and finds an uncut copy of the video Pheem showed Thanet, and it doesn’t look good for Pheem right now.
