The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 12 recap

The Apothecary Diaries season 2 episode 12, titled Ka Zuigetsu, commenced where it left off as Jinshi held Maomao close. As Maomao tried to escape, she touched something between Jinshi's legs and learned that the male protagonist wasn't a eunuch. Jinshi then released her and tried explaining the reason behind his secret. However, Maomao closed the talk by claiming that she touched a frog.
Jinshi, offended by Maomao's comments, now forced himself onto the female protagonist. As things were about to reach a dangerous level, Lihaku's dog arrived in time. Followed by the arrival of Lihaku, Jinshi, and Maomao were escorted out of the cave. Later on, Maomao and Lihaku devise a plan to capture Jinshi's assassin using the dog.

Back to the building where everyone awaited Jinshi's return, Lihaku arrived with the news of Jinshi's disappearance. Basen then announced to everyone that he would look for his master. During the search, the dog found the culprit through his smell, and now it was just a game of time. Eventually, Maomao caught the culprit red-handed, who was then arrested.
Back at Hunt's party, where everyone was enjoying drinks, Jinshi visited Maomao in her room. Despite their awkwardness, Maomao claimed that Jinshi was still Jinshi to her. The male protagonist, now relieved, gave Maomao a pouch of Oz Bezoars. Maomao, now on cloud nine, closed the door on a whim, leaving Jinshi unattended.
