We see how the burglar got away from Gyu - by jumping into the river and speeding away on a speedboat. Very subtle. We discuss what these new details mean. (Hint: we’re confused.)    Gyu, disheveled, shares how he had to convince the police not to come up to Poppy’s apartment. In his great appreciation, Tora asks Gyu why he was asleep at his post. Gyu defends himself by saying he was tir...
