Episode 5 recap: Revenge of the Doll (Part 1).
Shangguan Jing was in a deep sleep when he was awakened by his wife's scream. Lady Shangguan had a terrifying dream where she saw someone holding a child and saying that the child would come to find her. She also heard the child's cries, which were particularly pitiful, but Lord Shangguan couldn't hear anything. He thought it was just his wife having a nightmare and planned to take her to the temple the next day. He even gave her a talisman for protection and instructed Dong'er to take care of Lady Shangguan.
Dong'er teased Lady Shangguan to take good care of herself and give birth to a son as soon as possible. They were all chatting happily when suddenly they encountered a crazy old woman. She casually remarked that women with short lives were unlucky, and the murderer was right in front of them. This frustrated everyone. Meanwhile, Xiaoxia was wandering in the street and noticed the crazy old woman but didn't think much of it as a potential safety hazard. It was broad daylight, after all, and a crazy woman muttering to herself wasn't uncommon.
Back at home, Lady Shangguan, alone in her room, kept seeing the doll moving. Others thought it was just her ill health causing hallucinations. Eventually, Lady Shangguan called Dong'er and told her to throw away the doll. But, to their horror, that night they still witnessed something terrifying, and Lady Shangguan ended up killing Dong'er herself. She became completely insane and deranged.
