   Eunuch Clement rushes into the palace throne room with startling news. The lost Crown Prince Felix has been located in Waloo City, preparing to marry into the Samie family. The Empress weeps with joy and wants to send grand gifts. The Emperor stops her and demands smelly rags instead. At Samie Manor, wedding firecrackers erupt. The imperial couple barges in dressed as beggars right as wedding bows begin.

2. EP 2: A Mother's Token

   Penelope tears off her bridal veil and orders guards to beat the filthy intruders. Felix steps forward in disbelief. His mother produces a matching half-pendant, while his father identifies the red dragon birthmark on his chest. Felix weeps and kneels to embrace them. Penelope threatens to bar him from the family unless he expels them. The disguised Emperor pours out potatoes and pig trotters on the carpet to test his son.

3. EP 3: The Main Course

   Penelope threatens to cancel the wedding if Felix touches the foul gifts. The food bag drops, scattering potatoes across the floor. The Emperor assumes Felix rejected them and turns to leave in disgust. Outside the city, Clement waits with the imperial army. Felix suddenly stops his parents. He orders the manor kitchen to braise the pork and potatoes as the banquet's first dish, warning dissenters to leave.

4. EP 4: Bowing to Honor

   Penelope rages at Felix for dishonoring her family with peasant food. Felix insists that his parents traveling thousands of miles is the greatest honor possible. He hurries after them, reassuring them of his love. Felix kneels on the floor and bows before the crowd. His father silently decides Felix is worthy of the throne. Felix leads his parents toward the seats of honor, but Penelope blocks the walkway.

5. EP 5: The Priceless Gift

   Penelope swears Felix's parents will never touch the family tea or sit in the high chairs. Wedding guest Vivian Piper speaks up, reminding Penelope that parental gifts are priceless. Penelope lashes out at her. The disguised Emperor asks Felix if he truly feels ashamed of the meager food. Felix hesitates and admits the gift looks shabby. Disappointed by the hesitation, the father asks Felix what gift he truly desires.

6. EP 6: A Bitter Hug

   Felix reveals he only wants a warm hug from his long-lost parents. The imperial couple tearfully embraces him. Penelope rushes forward to shove them aside, so Felix urges his parents to hug their new daughter-in-law too. Penelope screams in horror as they hold her. Felix seats his parents in the high chairs and serves tea. The Empress wants to signal the army, but the Emperor decides to punish the Samies first.

7. EP 7: Sent to the Stable

   Vivian congratulates Felix on the reunion before departing. Felix attempts to guide his exhausted parents toward the estate's guest rooms so they can rest. Penelope and her parents block the corridor. Master Samie reminds Felix that every brick belongs to the Samie name. Penelope demands the beggars sleep in the empty horse stable or on the street. The disguised Emperor nearly fires his imperial signal flare, but Felix accepts the stable.

8. EP 8: The Real Bridal Suite

   The Samie family sneers as Felix gathers old bedding for the horse stable. The Emperor silently fumes, ready to disown his son for cowardice and flatten the Samie household. Felix lays the bedding on the stable floor. When Penelope mocks him, Felix delivers a shock. He declares the dirty stable is the bridal chamber for himself and Penelope. He orders his parents into the grand master bedroom instead.

9. EP 9: The Son's Defiance

   Penelope refuses to sleep in a stable, while Master Samie threatens to break Felix's legs. Felix stands firm, declaring filial piety comes before wealth. He gives them a choice: provide guest rooms or sleep in the stable while his parents take the bedroom. The Emperor marvels at his son's spine and vows to execute the Samie clan. A housekeeper intervenes for dinner, forcing Master Samie to delay his retribution.

10. EP 10: Kicking the Chair

    Felix leads his parents into the Samie dining hall and finds only one empty chair. He steps out to fetch extra seating from storage. The Emperor urges his wife to sit because her legs ache from the long journey. The Empress tries to give it back to him. Penelope sneers that beggars do not belong at the table and kicks the chair away. The Emperor catches his stumbling wife in absolute fury.

11. EP 11: Felix Divorces His Bride

    The Emperor catches his wife and clutches a secret imperial edict, swearing vengeance. Penelope and her parents complain that the beggars reek like sour pickles. Penelope calls Felix a dog bought by her family and demands he throw his parents out or face a divorce. His mother begs to leave quietly to keep peace. Felix slams the table in anger.
