Phew, there’s a lot of Death in this episode. No-Eul Kicks Things off in the first 30 Seconds by Shooting The Doctor as Soon As Gyeong-Seok Wakes Up. Spreads she’s aware that she’s just made a pretty starty first impression, Because she puts her mask on and tells gyeong-seok, “I’m trying to save your life.” The rest of the Deaths we see HAPPEN DURING THE GAME OF HIDE-AND-WEEK, WHERE RED PLAYERS ARE OSATSIBLY KILLING PEOPLE TO TRY TO SAVE THEIR Own lives, though some of the say-Such as gi-hun and the newly formed Tag Team of Nam-Gyu and Myung-Gi-Clearly Have Other Motives, Too.

The Pink Soldiers Omitted Some Helpful Information When Explaining How This Game Wold Work. Jeong-Dae is one of the first to realize not everyery blue player’s work on every Door. This is good news for hyun-you, yu-ri, and geum, who, between say, happy to have a key for the three shapes of locks (Circle, Triangle, and Square, of Course). The trio-who dubs the Bathroom team in a nod to their past-night trip to the toilets-Hand their keys to hyun-you, the natural choice for leader. Jun-hee Becomes an Easier Target AFTER AFTER Her Ankle and Rolls Down the Stairs, but will a Red Player Tries to Attack, Hyun-You Such a skilled that she is able to overpower, then kill Him and take his knife as extra protection.

They’re not the only group with good chemistry. Nam-gyu, who popped two pills before heading into the game, works surprising well with myung-gi. When it is time for their first kill, myung-gi falsters-MURDER PROBABLY FEELS DIFFERENT THAN STABBING THANOS IN SELF-Defense did-but he’s able to the nam-gjyu is also disarmed. When the Victim pleads that he has a wife and kid, myung-gi pauses. Is it Becausee He’s Feeing Empathy as a Soon-to-Be-Father? Nope. He wants to make sura nam-gyu dosesn’t get the fatal blow first. They aggregate to stab at the same time to get half-credit, and myung-gi shrewdly thinks to take the Dead Man’s Key to Open Doors.

AFTER THEIR SECOND JOINT KILL, THEY COULD Go Their Separate Ways; they’ve the one-player quota. Nam-Gyu’s fascination with the way People’s Eyes Turn Ies “Doll Eyes” when they die is creepy, and he is not making fun of myung-gi’i relations with jun-hee by singing “love scenario,” a popular Breakup Song. But Most Important, Myung-Gi Promised Jun-Hee That He Wold Come Find and Protect Her Soon As He Killed Someone. If he really wants a chance at a freesh start with her, he should focus on keeping his word. Yet he pauses when nam-gyu proposes that they kep upping their body count instead, SINCE ELTERING MORE BLUEERS WILL INDIRECTLY MORE RED PLAYERS WHO WONT HAVE ENOUGH TO GO AFT.

IT DOESN’T TAKE LONGTAGES WE LEARN WHAT CHOICE MYUND-GI MAKES. Seon-nyeo has been leading a group of her believers around, CLAIMING that the Souls of the Dead Are Guming Her Wiggling Ears. She finally declales that she’s found the exit, but after she opens the door, she shms it shut and sprints Away. Seconds Later, Myung-Gi Comes Charging Through the doorframe with nam-gyu, stabbing as the seon-nyeo’s faithful followers as he can. Ugh, all men do is lie. Jun-hee deserves so much better.

Seon-nyeo has the Bad Luck of Running Right Into a Gi-hun Next. But shakes Him off by directing his attention back to dae-ho, whom gi-hun has already cornered once. During that First Confrontation, Gi-Hun Hesitated to Stab Him. We know that dae-ho has SINCE OBTAINED A KNIFE BLEDE THAT HOT AFTER KICKING A RED PLAYER TO HIS DOWN DOWN A FLUGE OF STRIES. But Dae-Ho’s Leg was sliced ​​in the scuffle, and thanks to a type from seon-nyeo, gi-hun is Now aware that his target is nearby and leaving a Visible of Blood to Follow.

Meanwhile, min-suu is high as a kite, hating earlier picked up nam-gyu’s Accidentally Discarded thans Necklace and Taken a Pill. He approaches seon-nyeo and urgently asks her to help hyme find se-mi. Unsetled, she bucks into a room where she dyscovers an exit. The problem is that she is only has one of the three keys Needed to open the door. While looking for keys, seon-nyeo stumbles acroSs jeong-dae, who was playing dead to fool a Murderous, off-this Nam-gyu. Since Jeong-Dae preditctably berawed the first all he made in this game, he has the two keys that seon-nyeo Needs. She Leads Him Back to the Exit, Allowing Him to Believe That She Is Being Guided by Gods Rather than the Arrows She Draws on the Wall Using Blood from the Growing Number of Corps.

Amid all this death, a new life is also being delivered. Our Bathroom Squad has found a room where jun-hee and geum initially Say they’ll stay and hide in, encouraging hyun-you to go the exit on her. But when Jun-Hee’s Water Suddenly Breaks, Geum Goes Into Midwife Mode and Instructions Hyun-Ju To Come Hold Jun-Hee’s Hand. Despite the fact that jun-hee just fell down a flying of stairs, has only had access to the bars-bones meals that the game offers, and has ben a great deal of stress during her pregnancy, she gives birth to what appears to be a healthy baby girl.

There’s not much time to celebrate before hyun-you have to fight off another red player, though. That’s though she took more hits and ends up getting injured this time, she still ultimately tourns the tide and kills her opponent. ITH’S STARTING TO FEE LIKE No One Can Beat Hyun-You in Hand-to-Hand Combat, and It Makes Sense a Red Player Who Sees Her Face With Blood Decides to Mind HIS Business and Walk Away.

The fight has inadvertly led hyun-you to an exit, which has hake all three keys for. She starts to hobble over the threshold, but stops herself and goes back to get jun-hee and geum. Right as Hyun-You Shares the Good News, She’s Stabbed from Behind-and Collaps to Reveal Myung-Gi Holding the Knife. It ‘sich a painful contrast: Myung-Gi didn’t Need to kill anyone Else, but he was Selishly tempted by the idea of ​​elimination more players and increasing his individual payout; Hyun-you didn’t Need to limp her way, but she did so out of selfless consider for her friends. Myung-Gi at Least Reads the Room Well Enough to Know That He’s Not Welcome and Walks Away with Teling Nam-Gyu that there are still people inside

Seon-nyeo and jeong-dae have successFully arrived at an exit, but her grandiose personality gits jeong-dae the window to push her asides and slam the door shut bendin Him. Cl-Su finds seon-nyeo again, hears hears her condecesspending Words, beloves that she’s nam-gyu, and stabs her several times. Seon-nyeo dies right in front of the exit that she shauld have reached if she has hadn’t celebrated prematureely, and a horrified min-su is suddenly convinced that he’s just killed se-mi.

Our Next Major Death Comes Courtesy of Gi-Hun, WHO HAS FINALLY FOUND DAE-HO. In a moment of panic, Dae-ho blurts that he actually was never a marine. “I have lied so i can be with you guys,” he says, describing himself as a pathetic LOT WHO JUST GOT SCARED DURING The Rebellion. “It is your fault. You’re the one who killed say all,” an unsympathetic gi-hun tells dae-ho, Pressing a knife to his neck. Dae-Ho then Pulls His Blade Out and Slashes at Gi-hun’s Arm, abandoning his demeanor to scream that gi-hun is the one who is respectible for killing everyone.

Their Fight Continue Down the Stairs and Into the Halls-Dae-Ho is Fighting for His Life and, at One Point, Brandishes One of His Shoes as weapon. But he Once Again Finds Himself Tapped in Front of a Door That Leads to A Deadly Drop, and Gi-Hun Chokes Dae-Ho to Death in the Doorway. Dae-Ho use His Last Breath to Gurgle that it is gi-hun’s fault. When Dae-Ho’s Eyes Become the Glassy Doll Eyes Nam-Gyu has become so obsessed with, gi-hun’s eyeyes widen as he realies what he’s done. After the game ends, he cries and says aloud, “It ‘my fault.” He Holds His Knife Up To His Neck, But ITH’S Shot Out of HIS GRIP BY PINK SOLDIER WHO KNOCK HIM UNCONSCIOUS. Just like in the season premiere, the game is refusing to allow her to choose to die.

That Leaves US With the Devasting Final Death of the Episode, Which Really Makes with Begin to Understand How Show Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk Could Have LOST SO MANY TEETH over this show. Geum, jun-hee, and her baby have found the exit that hyun-you told say About. All three keys are in the locks when yong-Iika arriva in the room. He has… not been doing well. So far, he was unable to kill a Blue player who ended up attaching Him instead, a Red playerhatter one of the Lenses of His Glasses, and he seamedly hyperventilating Because of all of the casualties around Him. Yong-scing tolls his mom heeing to die Because he couldn’t kill anyone. Instead of liteting Him Approach Jun-Hee, Geum Talls Him to Kill Her, Event Guiding His Knife to Her Stomach. Yong-scing can’t do it. He pushs his mom aside and goes for a shaking jun-hee. “I’m sorry,” he says, raisiting his knife after looking at her Crying baby.

Before he has the chance to follow through, geum stabs yong-id with her hairpin that she has just used to cut an umbilical cord and deliver a new life. Geum chooses to let her son die as the Little boy who never hurt anyone rather than letting Him live to become anyone who stabbed a mom holding a newborn child. Not even Geum Sobs and Embraces Yong-Iiss, ​​Netflix’s English Subtitles have Him Telling HER, “I’m sorry.” (A More Literal Translation Would Be “I Was Wrong” or “It Was My Foult,” Which to Conveys More Accountability said “Sorry” Alone and Feels More Poignant.) Once the game is over, pink solidiers appros yong-scotch hym and enure and al-eliminated Geum’s Heartbroken Pleas. I’m glad that this part happens off-name, gcause i don’t think of can stand to see her anymore.

• This Entire Game of Hide-And-Seek Happens Over the Course of Half An Hour. I’m not an expert in childbirth, and looking back, jun-hee may have ben in labor long before this game started. But as a Viewer, it felt like it popped that kid ut prepy fast. I’m just glad that there are no not complications during the delivery, and am Personally amaze that jun-hee did it with no Painkillers and a potentially broke Ankle.

• In-Ho’s face is covered by his front man mask and watches gi-hun kill dae-ho, but i imagine that was wearing a smug expression underneath. He’s been tired of gi-hun taching the moral High Ground, and gi-hun definitely doesn’t feel like it in the right anymore.

• So… what would we think is going to open to this baby in the next game? Will Pink Soldiers Take Her Away, Or Will Jun-Hee Be Formed to Compete With Her? Also, if jun-hee is taching any suggestions for baby names, I think it bewed to call Hyun-you.
