They’ve all grown up.Jang-Geum is becoming an excellent cook but she still retains her wild nature – disobedient and energetic. The princess is sick and doesn’t eat for many days so the kitchen staff are stressed out trying to figure out something for her to eat.She refuses to eat anything they bring to her after a bite or two.
Geum-Young(Hong Ri Na)goes to talk to Jang-Geum(Lee Young Ae)who is making fermented soybean pastes.Geum-Young tastes one of the samples and comments on how it doesn’t stink like it usually does.Jang-Geum tells her it’s because she used charcoal to get rid of the smell.Geum-Young then goes back to the kitchen and asks her aunt if she can make the next meal for the princess.She makes something plain and the princess eats the whole thing because she added the same ingredient Jang-Geum had used to kill the smell-Charcoal,revealing that the princess was turned off by the smell of the food.The whole kitchen department gets rewarded and all the supervisors are praising Geum-Young,but Geum-Young mentions she was inspired by Jang-Geum’s method.
There is a big celebration in the palace:The king’s birthday.A precious gold bird from China was shipped to be used for the party and Geum-Young is told to guard the bird for a couple of days.She puts it in the cage but the cage door got loose and the bird is gone the next morning.Geum-Young begins to panic and decides to sneak outside of the palace to ask her relative if he can find another gold bird for her(it’s against the palace rules for the girls to leave without permission.)On her way out,she runs into Jang-Geum who offers her help, so the two girls sneak out together.They go out and arrive at the relative’s house but unfortunately he’s gone for a business appoinment so Jang-Geum offers to make a trip to her uncle’s house to see if he can help since he’s well-versed in imported goods.Therefore,they parted ways and decide to meet the next morning at the same place.Jang-Geum finds a bird after a lot of trouble but on her way to the relative’s house to meet up with Geum-Young she runs into a group of people fighting.She decides to save a personMaster Min Jung-ho a.k.a Ji Jin Hee)who was shot by a poison dart during the fight. By the time she gets to the relatives place it was really too late and Geum-Young has already gone,not because she wanted to but her aunt found out about the incident and forced her to leave.They had also found a gold bird.Jang-Geum has to sneak back in the palace all by herself but the route that she used to escape was sealed off therefore she is stuck outside the palace and gets caught by the guards who took her to the kitchen department.
