The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 11 recap

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 11, titled The Hunt, saw a focus on the Jade Pavilion where Jinshi came to fetch Maomao. Where Jinshi was adamant about terming Maomao as his possession (because the male protagonist bought her from the consort house), Lady Gyokuyou kept teasing until she finally allowed Maomao to leave for a few days.

The next day, Maomao boarded a carriage and was on her towards a summer resort where Jinshi was invited by his family. After reaching the resort, Maomao was escorted to the same building as Jinshi. There, she realized Jinshi was covering his face the entire face. However, the male protagonist avoided clarifying this issue.

The next day, Maomao accompanied the hunting party with Jinshi towards the hunting expedition. There, Maomao met Lihaku who was also asked to accompany Jinshi's group. After the hunt ended, everyone enjoyed their prey in a building where the heat was soaring. Jinshi, with a veil covering his face, eventually left the building due to dehydration.

Maomao followed him and took him inside the woods to make sure no one saw him while she helped Jinshi drink water. However, before Maomao could do so, someone tried to assassinate Jinshi. Jinshi jumped into a nearby river in time. Later, Maomao woke up inside a cave with Jinshi and both tried to look for a way to exit the cave.

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 12: What to expect? (Speculative)

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 12 is titled Ka Zuigetsu. Kai Zuigetsu is the Japanese translation of Jinshi's name, hinting that the next episode might focus on Jinshi. Given the development in the recent installment, the chapter might reveal the reality of Jinshi's 'status.'

Moreover, The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 12 might also continue from where it left off and reveal the reason why Jinshi pulled Maomao closer to him. Could Jinshi come out open about his feelings for Maomao?
