Yeo Ri confronts Gang Cheol and tries to save Yoon Gap

Yeo Ri (Bona) will continue despite Gang Cheol's (Yook Sung Jae) warning that Yoon Gap may have tricked her. She will hold a ritual or set up an altar to connect with Yoon Gap's spirit, despite the danger from the Eight Red Demons. In the process, Yeo Ri may come face to face with the demon, leading to a life-or-death situation.

The water demon will play an important role, possibly revealing more information about how the Eight Red Demon devoured souls and the cause of his own death. Yeo Ri will convince the water demon to cooperate with her to deal with the Eight Red Demon, as the teaser suggests. However, this cooperation may lead to unforeseen consequences, as the water demon also carries its own grudges.

Gang Cheol faces the limits of his power

Gang Cheol, in Yoon Gap's body, will continue to be restrained by the power of an evil god. He will try to protect Yeo Ri from the Eight Red Demons, but at the same time must hide his true identity from the growing suspicion from His Majesty and the royal court. A dramatic action scene may occur when Gang Cheol confronts the Eight Red Demons directly to save Yeo Ri or the young Crown Prince.

Gang Cheol may reveal more clues about the origin of the Eight Red Demon, hinting that this demon was born from a great crime or injustice within the royal family. This will cause Yeo Ri to begin to suspect the truth behind the palace.

The secret of the royal family is gradually revealed

His Majesty, though initially skeptical of ghosts, will begin to suspect as he witnesses the continuing strange events, especially the Crown Prince's unusual behavior and the palace killings. He may order a further investigation, inadvertently bringing Gang Cheol and Yeo Ri closer to the truth.

The Grand Concubine will have flashbacks or strong reactions when faced with signs associated with the Eight Red Demon (blood stains, foul odors). It is possible that she witnessed or was involved in a horrific event in the past, such as a massacre or forbidden ritual, that created this demon.

Conflict between Yeo Ri and Gang Cheol

Yeo Ri will continue to distrust Gang Cheol, especially when he tells her that Yoon Gap tricked her. Her blind love for Yoon Gap will put Yeo Ri in danger, forcing Gang Cheol to act to save her. At the end of episode 3, Yeo Ri may have realized some of the truth about Yoon Gap, but she still doesn't fully trust Gang Cheol.

The Eight Red Demons reveal their terrifying power.

The Eight Red Demons will cause a major attack in the palace, possibly targeting the young Crown Prince or another important figure, increasing the chaos. The young Crown Prince, under the influence of the demon, may commit a brutal act, causing panic in the imperial court and making it impossible for His Majesty to continue denying the existence of the evil spirit.

A direct battle between Gang Cheol and the Eight Red Demons may take place, but Gang Cheol will be at a disadvantage due to his limited power. Yeo Ri and the water demon may intervene, forming an unlikely alliance to deal with the demons.

The Truth About Yoon Gap and the Palace

Yeo Ri will discover that Yoon Gap has been working with the Central Palace to manipulate her, as Gang Cheol warned. This could be revealed through a conversation or a memory of Yoon Gap that Yeo Ri sees during the ritual. This betrayal will cause Yeo Ri to collapse, but also push her to cooperate more closely with Gang Cheol.

The Central Palace may be exposed as the mastermind behind a larger conspiracy, involving the use of the Eight Red Demons to consolidate power or conceal royal secrets.

The Royal Family's Horrifying Secret

Part of the Eight Red Demon's background will be revealed, possibly related to a crime in the royal family's past, such as a sacrifice, a wrongful murder, or a forbidden magical ritual. The Grand Concubine may reveal (either directly or through flashback) that she witnessed or participated in the event, explaining her obsession with signs such as blood stains and foul odors.

This secret will shock His Majesty and Yeo Ri, and shake the court's faith in the royal family. It is possible that another villain (e.g., a high-ranking official or member of the royal family) will be revealed as the one who summoned or harbored the Eight Red Demons.

His Majesty cooperates with Yeo Ri and Gang Cheol

At the end of episode 4, His Majesty may be forced to believe in the existence of evil spirits after witnessing the power of the Eight Red Demons. He will order Yeo Ri and Gang Cheol (who still doubts his identity) to join forces to destroy the evil spirit, opening up an unexpected alliance. However, this cooperation will not go smoothly due to unresolved conflicts and secrets.

Prediction for the end of episode 4

Episode 4 could end with a major reveal about the true identity of the Basara or a key figure behind its appearance. For example, it's possible that a member of the royal family (like Jung-kyeong or even Grand Consort) directly summoned the demon for personal gain. Another possibility is that Yoon Gap's soul is completely manipulated by the Basara, forcing Yeo Ri to face a heartbreaking choice: save Yoon Gap or destroy the demon.
