She crafts a three-course French-style feast using venison from the king’s hunt. Yi-heon relishes it, particularly roasted deer tongue, evoking childhood meals with his mother. Later, Song-jae offers protection to Ji-yeong from Consort Kang if she shares culinary secrets; she consents but requests the retrieval of her bag, which was thrown off a cliff.

Consort Kang schemes to expel Ji-yeong with snakes, cockroaches, and tricks. On the other front, Ministers threaten resignation over Governor Hong’s exile and Ji-yeong’s immunity as Kang spreads rumors. Instead of eliminating her, Yi-heon appoints Ji-yeong as chief royal chef, warning that repetition or displeasure will incur death.

She and Gil-geum receive proper chambers and attire. Consort Kang persuades Dowager Queen In-ju to evaluate Ji-yeong in a cooking contest against senior chefs, with failure costing a limb. Yi-heon enforces fairness: failing seniors face the same penalty.

Meanwhile, the jester delivers a note about the “first draft,” bringing Yi-heon closer to the mystery of his mother’s death. In the contest, the motif is filial respect using tofu, doenjang, and soybean paste within two hours. Dishes include eomandu and yeonpotang. However, Ji-yeong’s doenjang soup touches the Queen, earning victory despite competitors’ additions.
