The episode begins with Maomao reflecting on the events of the last garden party, particularly the poisoning attempt. She carefully examines the soup bowl intended for Lady Gyokuyou, using a unique method to detect fingerprints.
Her investigation reveals that four different people came into contact with the bowl. Maomao concludes that the swapping of the bowl, carried out by Lady Lishu's food taster as a minor act of harassment, ironically prevented Lady Lishu from ingesting the poison.
Maomao, who possesses several hairpins from the garden party, discovers their significance: they allow her to request temporary leave from the palace. She approaches Master Lihaku, a military officer, and makes him a proposal. In a strategic move, Maomao offers Lihaku letters of introduction to the prestigious Verdigris House in exchange for his approval of her leave.
Once her leave is secured, Maomao returns to the pleasure district where she grew up. She visits the Verdigris House, reconnecting with the old madam and reminiscing about her past. The episode also depicts a heartfelt reunion with her father, where Maomao shares her experiences at the palace and reflects on the contrasting worlds she inhabits.
