Not sure how I’ll cope with the withdrawal of no new eps this week…

Tiny’s Fan Wall presents
Crash Landing on You: The Musical – Episode 5

(Find the full playlist on Spotify.)

On their walk back from the market, Jung-hyuk tries to clear up any confusion that he’s not trying to hit on Se-ri, while she does the same about not having any interest in him hitting on her. (FRIENDS – Marshmello & Anne-Marie):

Haven’t I made it obvious?
Haven’t I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S…

As the two near Jung-hyuk’s place, he spots Dan waiting for him, much to his surprise (and their collective chagrin). (It’s the End of the World as We Know it – R.E.M.):

The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height…

The women of the village show up with beers to console Se-ri on the fact that they think Jung-hyuk is a no good, two-timing snake and she should leave him stat. (We’re Not Gonna Take it – Twisted Sister):

Oh, you’re so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don’t want nothin’, not a thing from you…

With Jung-hyuk’s news about a new escape plan, Se-ri goes out with the ladies of the village to get a new look to blend in during her visit to Pyongyang. (Supermodel (You Better Work) – RuPaul):

You better work
(Cover girl)
Work it, girl
(Give a twirl)
Do your thing on the runway…

Of course, Se-ri quickly realizes that she can’t actually pay for her new stuff, resulting in an eye-opening first visit to the pawn shop. (Money – Pink Floyd):

Money
It’s a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash…

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Jo has nabbed Jung-hyuk’s core crew for interrogation, which makes Jung-hyuk rage – or as ragey as he’s shown us so far. He swoops in to put Lt. Jo in his place and protect his men. (Uprising – Muse):

With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined…
They will not control us
We will be victorious…

Also meanwhile, Secretary Hong and insurance-guy-extraordinaire Soo-chan hear Se-ri’s voice on the radio, confirming she’s alive! (When You Believe – from Prince of Egypt):

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill…

With the gang back together at Jung-hyuk’s, Se-ri decides to give the men one more parting gift – a barrage of finger hearts for everyone! Much to Jung-hyuk’s thinly veiled displeasure. (Jealous – Chromeo):

I get jealous, but I’m too cool to admit it
When the fellas, talk to my girl I ain’t with it…

As Jung-hyuk escorts Se-ri to Pyongyang by train, they experience a severe delay – leading to an impromptu campout and an even more impromptu heart-to-heart. (When the Right One Comes Along – from Nashville):

Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth
You think you know what you’re lookin’ for
‘Til what you’re lookin’ for finds you…

Finally in Pyongyang, Se-ri gets her passport photo taken and, out of Jung-hyuk’s sight for a brief moment, she runs into Seong-joon in the hotel lobby. Seong-joon can’t believe his luck, seeing as he’s just been backstabbed and sold out by his handler – who’s in league with Se-ri’s brother. (Somebody I Used to Know – Gotye):

But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing…

TO BE CONTINUED…
