Player 390 (Jung-Bae) comforts the lost old friend Player 456 (Gi-Hun) in Squid Game Season 2 Episode 4. He just offers to quit after the second game. But Gi-Hun knows the weakness in the human nature well because he experienced it ever.
Gi-Hun thinks it will be harder if they don’t quit in the beginning. Because the money is more and more but the people are less and less. Player 001 (In-Ho) intends to take the people to visit Gi-Hun. He begins to morally kidnap him.
He asks him to tell the trick to them since he knows how to pass the games. He claims that he voted to continue because of it. Gi-Hun feels helpless. But he speaks out the previous experiences. The second game is Sugar Honeycombs. The triangle is simplest from the four patterns. The hardest is umbrella.
The old man Player 100 (Jeong-Dae) points out that the prize won’t increase if the 356 players are alive. He’s evil and he asks the people not to tell the message to others. Gi-Hun goes against Jeong-Dae because he wants to save everyone.
He decides to tell the method to everyone if he confirms that the next game is Sugar Honeycombs. We don’t know what In-Ho is thinking after he heard what Gi-Hun said. The others leave when they curse. Player 007 (Yong-Sik) overhears it. He tries to tell it to his mother Player 149 (Geum-Ja). But she’s not in her room.
Geum-Ja finds out that Player 222 (Jun-Hee) is pregnant. She comes to give her egg to Jun-Hee. Yong-Sik takes away his mother. In-Ho sits next to Gi-Hun. He wonders why he came back since he has gotten the money. Gi-Hun doesn’t know In-Ho is the Front Man he looks for. He claims that the money belongs to the people who died there. He points at the cash in the piggy bank. He thinks it’s the same.
In-Ho cannot understand the idea. He was the winner of Squid Game before. He doesn’t believe human nature anymore. Player 388 (Dae-Ho) agrees to what Gi-Hun said. He worships Gi-Hun who just leaded everyone to pass the game. He wants to join them. Jung-Bae accepts Dae-Ho after knowing Dae-Ho was a marine like him.
Player 230 (Thanos) takes his follower to bully Player 333 (Myung-Gi). In-Ho gives Thanos a lesson for winning Gi-Hun’s heart. He visits Gi-Hun in the evening. He plays emotional card. He tells a lie to Gi-Hun that he joined the game for curing his wife. But his wife actually passed away early.
Gi-Hun doesn’t know the truth. He lets his guard down with In-Ho. The dead bodies of the eliminators are carried to be taken their organs. The officer sells human organs without letting In-Ho know it. He learns the lesson from season 1. He hires a doctor. But the doctor cannot take out too many useful organs. Because the dead body had died too long.
The soldiers avoid the key points when they shoot the target for keeping the organs fresh. But someone intends to shoot the hearts and the heads. The person is No-Eul. The soldier reports to the officer that No-Eul delayed their organ selling.
The officer summons No-Eul. The two have known each other for seven years. He asks her not to bring trouble since she didn’t help them. She rejects it. He mentions she promised to do anything for him for finding her daughter. But she points out that it’s not what he said after she came to the place. She leaves his office.
The next day, the players wake up. The new game is going to begin. Myung-Gi finds out that his girlfriend came in the end. He hasn’t contacted Jun-Hee in months for hiding from his debt. He doesn’t expect that he would encounter her there.
Jun-Hee was tricked by her boyfriend to buy bitcoin. She lost all her savings. She doesn’t want to have an abortion. She takes part in the game to raise her kid. The soldiers come to the dormitory for taking the players to the second game. Thanos takes a drug secretly.
The players are taken to the square. There’re two huge colorful rubber tracks on the ground. The next message stuns Gi-Hun. Because the second game isn’t “Sugar Honeycombs” anymore. It’s a group game “Six-Legged Pentathlon”. The players thought it’s “Sugar Honeycombs” coming to blame Gi-Hun for telling a lie. Jeong-Dae takes his men to morally kidnap Gi-Hun. In-Ho drives the people away.
The countdown begins. The players don’t want to waste time. The square is in chaos. The members Dae-Ho, In-Ho and Jung-Bae are in Gi-Hun’s team. The pregnant Jun-Hee joins the team. Thanos invites the pretty girl Player 380 (Se-Mi) to join his team. Se-Mi’s roommate Player 125 (Min-Su) joins the team as well. Min-Su is a cowardly boy.
Yong-Sik takes his mother. Player 120 (Hyun-Ju) is a transgender person. Nobody accepts them. They team up with the witch Player 044 (Seon-Nyeo).
The soldier begins to explain the rules of the game. The game is “Six-Legged Pentathlon”. The five members’ legs will be tied together. There’s a task point each ten-meter interval on the track. Each team needs to send a member to take part in the task.
They can only move forward after the member completes the task. The five tasks are Flip the Enemy’s Paper Card, Flying Stone, Catching Stone, Spinning Top and Kicking Shuttlecock. They’re required to complete the game within five minutes and pass the finishing line.
The players have a talk. Jun-Hee is good at flipping paper card in Gi-Hun’s team. Dae-Ho is an expert in catching stone. Jung-Bae knows how to play baseball well. He accepts the flying stone task. Gi-Hun and In-Ho have a talk. In-Ho decides to be in charge of spinning top. Gi-Hun deals with kicking shuttlecock.
The game begins after a gunshot. Two teams take action at the same time. Flip the Enemy’s Paper Card is very simple. The two teams pass the game. But Flying Stone is very different. The problem is that the player needs to walk to the stone and return after he loses the throw. It wastes time.
The bad luck team 1 is stuck in the game. The players are nervous after they lost. The team 2 comes to the game “Catching Stone”. They’re required to catch five stones. The woman passes the game after she failed one time. The bad luck guys of team 1 are still playing flying stone.
It’s been hard for the member to hit the stone. But his score is cancelled because he stepped over the line. The teammate wants to kill him. The team 2 reaches “Spinning Top”. The member needs to throw the spinning top to the ground. He passes the game if the spinning top is spinning. He needs to take the spinning top back if he fails.
