In the next episode, Dp-shik convinces Baek-du to join the team as coach for the ssireum team. He joins the team and starts practising the next day. However, the police arrive at the stadium to question Baek-du as he is one of the suspects in the death of Choi in the village.
Flowers in Sand Episode 3 Recap
The episode starts with a man named Hyun-duk arriving inside the stadium to meet Yu-kyung while she is talking to Baek-du. When the man calls her by a pet name, Baek-du is confused about their relationship and concludes that he is her lover. On the way to their home, both Yu-kyung and Hyun-duk hold a conversation which reveals that they are not a real couple. Both of them are pretending to be together to investigate the suspicious death of the resident a few days back.
On the next day, Seok-hui starts to write a report of the crime, but his superior asks him not to do it because the Seoul police department are already on the case. Baek-du also comes to meet him and asks him to help him out with his studies as he starts to prep for the police entrance. However, Yu-kyung is visibly angry with him for deciding to quit and tries to convince him to join the team.
Meanwhile, Hyun-duk starts asking around town about the victim and to find some clues. He again hears the name Du-shik, which creates some doubts in his mind. He meets up with some women of the village from whom he gathers the information that the ssireum coach was into gambling, and he might have taken money from Choi, which put him in debt.
As Baek-du has breakfast with his family, they find out that he is planning to sit for the police examination. He goes to the stadium to hand his official resignation from the team, but the coach is nowhere to be found. He practices his moves sometimes with his former teammate. He also meets up with Yoo-kyung, to whom he continuously asks her intention about why she wants to know more about the coach, but she dismisses the questions completely.
Dong-Chan arrives in the office with piece of good news to Yu-kyung that he has found another coach for the team. He reveals that it is none other than Kwak Jin-Su, who is extremely hard to get a hold of. However, Yu-kyung suggests another name, and it is none other than Baek-du. The revelation comes as a surprise to everyone, especially to Baek-du. This news leads to tensions between both contenders.
Baek-du goes to ask Yu-kyung why she recommended him for the job and she explains that he will be useful for the team. Eventually she also admits that she is, in fact, Du-shik, and the episode ends on that note.
