Spoilers ahead for the latest episode of "Fancy Land"
This Episode , the walls close in on Li Xiulan and her daughter, Li Yan, as the consequences of their actions begin to catch up with them in a tense, revelation-packed episode. A desperate flight from the law, a violent confrontation, and a shocking confession form the core of a story about just how far a mother will go to protect her child.
A Deadly Game of Cat and Mouse
The episode picks up in the abandoned warehouse where Li Xiulan is holding Bai Fan captive. She brings him food, but upon waking, he refuses to believe his brother, Bai Tao, is dead. He accuses Xiulan of orchestrating an elaborate kidnapping, convinced she's merely hiding him. Xiulan stands firm, insisting that Bai Tao is gone for good.
Meanwhile, after realizing Bai Fan is missing and unreachable by phone, a determined Qin Yang immediately escalates the situation. He orders all city exits and major intersections to be sealed off and begins pulling surveillance footage from the area around Bai Fan's home, launching a full-scale police search.
The Getaway
While Qin Yang's net widens, the loyal Wang Guocheng springs into action to help Li Yan. He finds her and urges her to pack her things quickly, whisking her away in his car to reunite with her mother. They leave just in the nick of time, as Qin Yang and his officers storm Li Yan's empty home moments later.
The chase is on. Qin Yang tries calling Li Yan's phone, but Wang Guocheng, anticipating the move, instructs her to power it down and remove the battery to prevent being tracked. Despite a city-wide search, Qin Yang comes up empty-handed. During their drive, a panicked Li Yan voices her fear that her mother has become a murderer. Wang Guocheng attempts to soothe her, assuring her that there must be a misunderstanding and telling her not to jump to conclusions.
The Warehouse Showdown
Back in the warehouse, the tension between captor and captive explodes. Bai Fan, feigning thirst, asks Li Xiulan for water. When she gets close, he lunges, attempting to strangle her. In a desperate struggle for her life, Xiulan's hand finds a loose screwdriver, and she plunges it into his leg.
As Bai Fan recoils in pain, he furiously accuses her of brutally murdering his brother. Freed from his grasp, Xiulan's composure breaks, and she unleashes her rage, screaming that Bai Tao was a monster who deserved what he got. Terrified and wounded, Bai Fan’s aggression turns to pleading. He begs for mercy, whimpering that he's already received his karmic punishment.
A Mother's Confession
Wang Guocheng tracks Li Xiulan down to a seaside location, wanting to join her and help her escape. She cruelly rejects his offer, insulting him and claiming she stole the car he's been using, trying to push him away for his own good. Though he falls, he continues his pursuit.
The real destination becomes clear when Li Xiulan pulls a tarp off a nearby car, revealing her daughter, Li Yan, sitting inside. Through tears, Li Yan confronts her: "Why did you hide this from me?"
This question triggers the episode's pivotal flashback, revealing the truth of what happened on that fateful night at the abandoned building. Bai Tao, holding a USB drive, tried to blackmail Xiulan for 500,000 yuan. A struggle ensued, and Bai Tao nearly fell from a ledge, but Xiulan caught him. Dangling precariously, he sealed his own fate by sneering that the drive was just a sample—he had more videos at home and would continue to torment them. Hearing this, something in Li Xiulan snapped. She let go.
After confessing the whole story to her daughter, Li Xiulan promises she will always protect her from harm. As Li Yan weeps, her mother suggests they run away and start a new life somewhere else, together.
On the Run
Just as their escape begins, the plan hits a snag. Li Xiulan receives a cryptic phone call informing her that the police have arrived at the pier, their intended departure point. When she demands to know who's calling, the line goes dead. A quick redial reveals the number is no longer in service.
Seeing the fear and worry on her daughter's face, Li Xiulan forces a reassuring smile. She takes Li Yan's hand, starts the car, and drives away from the sea. Their journey to a new life has just begun, but with the police closing in from all sides, their future is more uncertain than ever.
