The latest Uncle Samsik episode began with assemblymen opposing Kang Seong-Min passing the Local Government Act. Sun Woo-Seok asked Seong-Min to apologize to Kim San for punching him. However, Kim San expressed that it was unnecessary before leaving the meeting. He then met with his ex-fiancée, Yeo-Jin, asking why she returned to the city as a reporter. Yeo-Jin requested him to not make things awkward between them.
Meanwhile, Uncle Samsik visited ailing Ahn Yo-Seop a second time and promised to help his son Ahn Ki-Cheol. While discussing the prospect of merging both Democratic and Liberal Parties, Woo-Seok reiterated suspicions about Seong-Min founding the Sineui Alliance. However, Uncle Samsik managed the situation, assuring Seong-Min of President Rhee’s victory in the upcoming election.
The following day, Woo-Seok made Kim San meet a Democratic Party member, asking Kim San to present a proposal for the National Reconstruction Bureau. Kim San thanked Woo-Seok for recommending him. Woo-Seok, however, asked Kim San to keep it to himself, but the message eventually reached Uncle Samsik. The latter confronted Woo-Seok, threatening him to not sway Kim San anymore. Back at the Defense Unit, Jung Doo-Sik and Jung Han-Min recalled the moment they met with General Choi Han-Rim and agreed to participate in the coup d’etat.
Meanwhile, in a conversation with Kim San, Rachel Jung revealed how she created the Albright Foundation. She told him about her uncle, Senator Jeremy Albright, who became the foreign minister. Rachel recalled how the Senator spoke highly of Kim San. During a conversation over drinks, Rachel confessed that she was the one planning the coup d’etat and the one who chose Kim San and General Han-Rim for the same. She wished to have a capable leader to take over the country.
Rachel made a lucrative offer to Kim San when she asked him to choose her and earn the Albright Foundation in return. As the two got intimate, Rachel asked Kim San to keep his meeting with Han-Rim a secret. At night, Uncle Samsik met Kim San, asking the latter not to pay heed to Woo-Seok. Kim San revealed he shared drinks with Rachel, which made Uncle Samsik happy.
Ahead of the elections, Rhee Seung-Min’s party held rehearsal voting sessions with the citizens, which reached Aemin Daily. A reporter then left to investigate the same.

At the Capital Defense Command, soldiers received care packages from an unknown importer. Meanwhile, prosecutors arrested Jin-Wook on charges of bribery as per Uncle Samsik’s plan.
