My Stand-In episode 7 recap: Poom Phuripan learns the truth about Joe’s accident
Joe’s mom says Tharn isn’t trustworthy and shares that the two were dating. As she didn’t approve of them, Joe jumped into the river after fighting with his mom two years ago.
When he was in a coma, Joe’s mom promised herself that she would not stop him from anything and accept him as he was. She only wanted her son to wake up. Joe’s mom apologizes and says he can date anyone, just not Tharn. The latter used Joe to get into the industry and then left him.
Furthermore, Ming probes Joe about his accident and asks what date it happened. However, the latter says he doesn’t remember anything. While packing for Ming, Joe discovers the former still has the watch the old Joe gifted him on Christmas.
Later, at the filming location, Tharn tries to get close to Joe. Tong then asks Tharn to remind Joe about their relationship as he doesn’t want the latter around Ming. Elsewhere, Ming asks Joe to spend the night with him, but the latter refuses and says he doesn’t want anyone to see them.
Later, Joe finds out that Tharn is his roommate. After asking about the former’s relationship with Ming, the latter forces himself on Joe. However, Ming breaks in and takes Joe away. The former is furious as he asks the latter not to forget “who he belongs to.” Joe retorts to Ming’s accusations and says Tharn was the one who tried to do something.
Furthermore, Joe says that Tong may have made Tharn act the way he did. However, Ming defends the latter and says he would not care about someone like him. Taken aback by Ming’s comment, Joe says, “You know each other more than you know me.”
Later, Tong sees Joe coming out of Ming’s room. Following the heated argument, Joe tells Tharn to get out of his room and breaks down. Meanwhile, Tong asks Ming to move on from the old Joe. The former says that he’s been dead for a long time and tells the latter not to find a replacement for him. Ming says it’s because of him and Tong that Joe has no future and has to run away. The former then asks the latter not to talk about Joe again.
Furthermore, Ming discovers that it wasn’t Tong who played the famous fencing scene in his first movie. The back scene made Ming fall for Tong for the first time. However, Ming learns that Tong’s full-time stand-in, the old Joe, played in that scene. Later, Ming breaks down in tears and hugs Joe from behind in the middle of the same fencing scene. He apologizes to the old Joe and begs him to return to him.
