At an international meeting where diplomats pressure Declua and eight nations impose sanctions, Vera Watkin is hurried away to a hotel. An abrupt attack leaves her unconscious; she wakes dazed and asks, "Was I... just shot?" Believing she has transmigrated, she realizes she apparently forced herself on a handsome man who looks wronged. Inspecting herself, Vera notices her body has changed—her waist and long legs are gone. The episode closes with scrambled memories and a changed body, leaving her with no clear explanation for what really happened.
After a disastrous gambling night, Vera—whose body the narrator says she transmigrated into—owes 40 pounds of grain coupons and plans to sell a child to cover losses. The boy cries for help as creditors press her. Her husband, a hardened soldier, condemns her gambling and reveals the boy is Noah, the child of his fallen comrade. He refuses to accept her actions, demands a divorce, and offers her a ticket home plus 20 pounds of grain. She protests; he remains firm. The episode ends on his divorce ultimatum and Noah's uncertain fate.
Mr. Remington arrives at the registry to finalize a divorce from Ms. Watkin after learning she once tried to sell a poor boy, Noah. Friends mock Vera while Karl insists she remains his wife until paperwork clears. He files the divorce agreement, but officials led by Mr. Sweet refuse immediate approval, granting only three months and warning his upcoming Ruron assignment could be affected. Tense exchanges expose Vera's gambling and past sales. The episode ends with shocking news: Ms. Watkin has sold Noah again, leaving the divorce stalled and the boy's fate unresolved.
A desperate woman begs Ms. Watkin, "Please don't sell me off." Cut to a noodle shop where another woman orders plain noodles with extra meat and feeds a boy named Noah, promising to buy him new clothes before she leaves and saying she'll be back. A soldier reports seeing them head this way, but witnesses point out the street holds only a noodle shop and a gambling den and suspect Noah was taken into the den. The episode closes with an accusation aimed at Karl: "Where did you sell Noah to?"
A crowd confronts Vera at a gambling den, accusing her of selling the child Noah. Karl threatens to lock her up and demands Noah’s whereabouts. Vera insists she didn't sell him—she brought Noah to eat and bought new clothes after seeing his torn garments—and offers to prove it. She leads them to Noah; his presence forces apologies and clears the immediate accusation. Vera admits she's addicted to gambling and accepts their apology. Her relief is cut short when she is told her divorce request with Karl remains unapproved, leaving their separation unresolved.
At a military hearing, officials refuse to approve Vera's divorce and order the couple to wait three months because they've only been married a short time. At home Noah, traumatized after Vera's aggression, eats twelve bowls while Mr. Sweet warns Vera not to hurt him and threatens police action if she does. Vera promises to quit gambling. Ivy departs on a mission and Noah will stay with Mr. Sweet. Vera asks Karl to help her find work in the troops to support Noah; Karl agrees if she behaves. The episode closes with the divorce postponed and Vera under strict watch.
At a recruitment meeting, Ms. Watkin volunteers to be a translator and offers to prove her skill. Officers test her by asking her to translate an official French communiqué into Decluan; she renders a flawless Ublaxan translation. Praised as a genius, she is invited to serve as Lead Translator at a weapons-supply signing with Ublax in three months and offered a monthly talent allowance that sparks colleagues' resentment. Ms. Watkin accepts and asks to train two hours daily; Mr. Sweet approves, leaving her abruptly placed on a fast track toward the upcoming diplomatic ceremony.
At an international signing about a firearm enhancement with Ublax, military representatives are warned to delay signing until the lead translator, Ivy, arrives. Higher-ups stress caution and watch for loopholes. Colleagues trade updates: Noah is in someone's care, and Karl faces a pending divorce; one suggests he might reconsider because Vera has changed, while another brags she will replace Vera and have Ethan propose once the divorce happens. When representatives arrive, Ms. Watkin announces the signing is starting. They head into the ceremony despite the order to wait, leaving Ivy's arrival unresolved.
At a formal signing, Ublax presents a weapons contract written entirely in Ublaxan and reveals they've detained Declua's lead translator to pressure Remington into signing. Remington stalls; Declua's substitute is a nervous novice who can't read the technical terms. Ublax delegates mock Declua as 'pigs', threaten public humiliation, and dare anyone present to read the document. Pressure builds until the meeting is interrupted when a woman announces, 'I am Declua's Lead Translator, Vera Watkin.' Her sudden arrival stops the ceremony and leaves everyone waiting to see if she can translate the technical Ublaxan and avert the humiliation.
Vera Watkin, a celebrated 21st-century translator from Dragon Country, wakes in the 1980s in the body of an overweight namesake.
