With the Bunwon seized by Japanese forces, Jeongi attempts to slip away to meet Gwanghae but is captured by Gangcheon. After learning the full truth from Mun Saseung, Yukdo agonizes over his choice—then ultimately releases Jeongi. Trusting that Gwanghae will drive the invaders away, Jeongi returns to the Bunwon and waits for his promise to be fulfilled.
Tailing Hwa-ryeong's men from the merchant guild, Taedo discovers the kiln where Jeongi is being held. Seizing a brief opening as soldiers pass by, he rescues Jeongi and flees with her—only to be struck by a throwing blade. Face to face with Gangcheon, Jeongi unleashes her fury, declaring that she can never forgive him for being her father. Steeling her resolve, Jeongi immerses herself in the potter's wheel and presents the finished vessel to King Seonjo.
After hearing the full truth from Mapung, Jeongi breaks down in tears before Mun Saseung, who is left stunned and shaken. Jeongi then pleads with Gwanghae to delay Gangcheon's arrest just a little longer. Confronting Gangcheon herself, Jeongi is devastated once more when he coldly declares that Yukdo is the only bloodline he acknowledges. Claiming he wishes to atone, Gangcheon summons Jeongi to Euldam's grave.
To protect Jeongi, Gwanghae arranges for a personal guard to stay by her side. When pigments needed for overglaze painting run short, Mun Saseung turns to Hwa-ryeong for supplies—drawing Gangcheon straight to her. Thanks to Jeongi's foresight in testing Gangcheon's scheme in advance, Mun Saseung successfully completes the tribute porcelain. Enraged by his failure, Gangcheon orders Mapung to kill Jeongi.
Mun Saseung is appointed as the new nangcheong of the Bunwon, and Jeongi becomes the first female master potter in Joseon history. Seeing Jeongi clad in her official potter's robes, Gwanghae smiles with pride and gifts her the workshop once used by Euldam. Reduced to desperation, Gangcheon and Yukdo beg Mun Saseung to allow them to remain at the Bunwon. Elsewhere, at the request of a Japanese merchant, Hwa-ryeong summons Jeongi—hinting at new trials yet to come.
Jeongi confronts Gangcheon, demanding that he reveal the truth about Euldam, but his shameless willingness to offer a false confession only fuels her anger. Gwanghae vows before King Seonjo to uncover not only the truth behind the current 사건 but also the events of the previous nangcheong competition. A royal order is issued for Yukdo's execution, and a grief-stricken Gangcheon kneels before the palace gates in penitence.
When King Seonjo selects Yukdo's lid, Yukdo struggles to contain his joy, while Jeongi graciously acknowledges his skill. Gwanghae petitions the king to lift the Chief Scholar's exile, but Seonjo misinterprets the request as a threat to royal authority. Seizing the moment, Inbin plots to frame Gwanghae for treason by forging his letter. As Jeongi departs on Gangcheon's errand to mine white clay, Gwanghae mounts his horse and races after her.
Despite Taedo's warnings that it is dangerous, Jeongi insists she must remain at the Bunwon to bring Gangcheon down from his nangcheong post. Reunited with Jeongi at the workshop, Gwanghae cannot hide his quiet delight. Meanwhile, Yukdo grows uneasy when he is forced to compete with Jeongi to create the lid for King Seonjo's cherished jar. He promises Jeongi that if she succeeds, he will elevate her to the rank of master potter.
