Episode 5 âFirst Quarter Moonâ starts with another flashback to Keyâs past, to a time when she tried to feed her mother some chicken. But her mother didnât want to eat it, and reacted irritated to her continued ties, eventually throwing the plate away. Key tried to entice her to some fruits instead, but her mother just told her to let her die, and hysterically tries to get her out of her room, eventually hitting her with a framed photo in the process. Big mom and Peach separated the two of them and Peach brought Key to the hospital to let them check her. Afterwards, she asked Key if I hurt a lot, and Key claimed that the wound on her head didnât hurt as much as her heart. Peach consoled her by hugging her and telling her itâs okay, Key claimed that she knew that mother didnât mean to hurt her, but that it really hurt as Peach argued that Key still has her. After the credits, Peach and Niam are at big momâs side, who is suffering from some illness again. Peach proposes that she spend the night at the hospital for observation, as she passed out, but big mom claims that sheâs fine, just a little tired. Her mood improves as Key comes in, she is surprised that Key knows about her passing out, but Peach called her, she claims, and is worried about her. But did mom claims that sheâll be fine after a little rest, and after seeing her again. Meanwhile, Chan is dealing with Simba as she calls Key asking if she will come to her condo that night, but Key canât, she claims, because of some family matters. Key wants to know if sheâs worried about her, but Chan claims she was just asking, and thinks that Key isnât mad at her anymore because she is joking now. But Key argues that she doesnât know yet, and asks her to take care of Simba for her. Chan claims that Simba will soon forget her as she didnât visit him at all. Key goes silent for a long time, then tells her she will talk to her later and ends the call. Chan argues with Simba that Key is probably still mad at her, and asks him what should she do to make up with her. Peach thanks Key for coming home and apologizes to her for calling her home so suddenly, but Key thinks she should apologize for barely coming home to visit big mom. Peach told Niam to prepare her old room and is glad that she came home, claiming no one can hurt her now. But Key remembers her motherâs accusations as she passes by her old room and gets another panic attack. Peach hugs and console her claiming that thereâs nothing to be scared of, and that she still has her. Later at night, she is sitting outside as big mom joins her, asking if she canât sleep. Key is surprised to see her outside as she is still unwell, but big mom claims that sheâs just like her, and she canât sleep. But she argues that this day was a good day as Key came back to see her. And itâs also the âfirst quarter moonâ tonight, she argues, which is said to be the strongest phase of the lunar cycle. She claims that itâs the phase when, if you have the determination, hope or will to do something, you can succeed. You can conquer burdens and overcome your fear. She argues that no matter what happened, Key still has her, Peach and her father, who always love her. Key thanks her for it, and apologizes for taking so long to come visit her. They assure each other of their love for each other as they hug. The next day, Peach is asking her why she leaves so soon and wants her to stay a bit longer, but Key has work and in important errand to do, she claims. Peach wants her to quit her job, and work for the family business instead, but Key claims asking her to quit singing is like telling her to quit photography and declines it, Peach claims that she knows how to talk back to her, as Key says goodbye to big mom and Niam promising to come more often in the future. Big mom wants her to take the chauffeur home, arguing that she can have someone take her motorcycle to her condo. But Key declines the offer, telling big mom to have a meal together the next time, as she wants to see her father as well. She leaves with Peach telling big mom that she will return soon. Key takes some time to collect herself, then leaves on the motorcycle. Jay is waiting for Chan to arrive to invite her to the soft opening of the restaurant. Chan doesnât want to go, but Jay pleads with her to go as the hotel owner with her, and she has something important to tell her, she claims, but wants her to come with her to tell her. Key arrives as Jay pleads with her to give her another chance, and Key joins them and invites herself to the dinner. Jay doesnât remember inviting her, but Key argues that she needs customers at the restaurant and turning them away is unprofessional. Jay claims that itâs a good point but is sorry that she wonât let her come. Key argues that Jay feels intimidated by her, and that does the trick, as Jay allows her to join them. Chan asks the two of them to stop fighting, but Key argues they arenât fighting, calls Jay PâJay and asks if that is right and Jay confirms it. So they sit at the most awkward dinner ever, and Chan wants Jay to tell what she has to tell her, but Jay wants to talk to her in private. Chan argues that then they have nothing to talk about, and leaves, but Jay claims that she is sorry for leaving her to get married, that is all she can say as she asks Chan to forgive her. But Chan thinks an apology canât fix everything, and asks her if she expects to go back to her, calling her apology just an empty word that means nothing to her. Jey knows that leaving Chan hurt her, but argues that her hands were tied and she had no choice. But Chan argues that she had choices, yet she chose to leave her, and whatever her reason was, she is not buying it. Chan leaves with Key following her. Key finds Chan looking out of the window in her office, and hugs her from behind, telling her not to be sad. Chan asks if sheâs no longer mad at her, and Key confirms it, claiming she is just her sugar baby and canât stay mad at her for long, otherwise, Chan might leave her. Chan claims that she really doesnât understand her, but Key wants her to not be stressed and invites herself over to her place for the night. Chan agrees claiming she should take care of their son (meaning Simba) and Key agrees that she canât leave him, and they hug. At night, Jay is trying to drown her sorrows at the bar as her Aunt calls. She doesnât pick up, but eventually picks up the call and wants her to say what she wants. She wants her to go to a party at Madame Ployâs the coming weekend, arguing that she hasnât seen her in a while. But Jay argues that she isnât that close with her, so why does she have to go? Aunt wants her to stop ask questions and just go to where she tells her to go â for her family. But Jay argues that she has done enough for her family, with Aunt arguing sheâs doing all this for her future, but Jay claiming that sheâs doing it for herself, and ends the call. Chan wakes up with Simba, but without Key in her bed. She gets up and finds a message from Jay âPlease forgive me, I miss you so muchâ as Key calls her. She is waiting in the kitchen, having sensed that she woke up, and Chan thinks sheâs just guessing, but Key has spent a lot of time with her, she argues, and she know her every move now. She knows what time she wakes up, arguing that even without an alarm clock, she always wakes up at the same time. Chan acknowledges that Key surely knows a lot, and Key claims itâs because sheâs her sugar baby. She hands her the breakfast, but cuts herself while slicing a strawberry. Chan rushes to her side and wants to see the wound, but Key pretended to cut herself to claim her heart hurts. Chan (rightfully) finds this not funny, but Key pleads with her not to be mad at her, and claims she not good at making up. Chan thinks sheâs rather good at making up, but Key maintains that sheâs not goo at it, but sheâs good at something else, she claims. Chan wants to know who taught her those lines, but she just canât help it, Key claims â and kisses Chanâs chest. She asks her if they shall start, then starts to feed her breakfast. She then gives her the option as choosing â between breakfast and her, but Chan chooses the breakfast. She wants to know about her skills - which Chan reports to be good â but Key wanted to know about her skills in bed, which gets her a âlittle pervâ back. Later, she helps her putting on a necklace, perfume and even her shoes, as she claims that sheâs always her girl and want to be by her side and take care of her for a long time. But Chan ruins the mood by claiming that itâs a business deal between them, but as long as their deal hasnât been cancelled, she can keep doing her job. Key asks what if itâs not just a job, what if she really falls for her, what would she do? But we donât get an answer to this important question. Phu wants to know how she finds the restaurant, but Chan claims that she canât tell having only eaten a bit and left. Phu wants to know why, but Chan claims that Jay should have told him, and accuses him of following Jayâs order and coax her again. Phu admits that she talked to him to persuade Chan to talk to her, as she wants to explain why she broke up with her. He asks her doesnât she want to know why Jay suddenly left her and got married? But Chan claims that whatever the reason was, it didnât hold water, so whatâs the point of knowing it. Phu admits that Jay did a terrible this to her, and heâs saying this as her friend that she should hear her out, not to forgive her but to get closure. But Chan tells him to tell Jay that she doesnât want to hear it, and tells him to leave. In the evening, sheâs cleaning the condo and marvels at Keyâs guitar case with a moon keychain, arguing that this is Key and Chan and smiling. She unpacks the guitar and plays a bit as someone enters the condo â but itâs not Key, itâs Jay, who claims that Chan refuses to see her, so she has to do this. She argues that Chan needs to hear her that day, and Chan tells her to just say what she has to say. Jay asks her if she remembers aunt Mon, the aunt who raised her after her parents died. She argues that the truth is sheâs never had freedom in her life. And we get a flashback of them talking about money problems by Mon, as her investment didnât do as well as she thought, she needed money to put into the investment and asked her for help. Jay offers to give her one to two million THB (30,000 to 60,000 US$), but she needs ten million (300,000 US$). Jay proposed to sell the house, but that is a family heirloom, her aunt claimed, and she couldnât sell that. Mon wanted Jay to borrow in from Chan, arguing that she was the firstborn heir to a rich family. Jay didnât want to borrow money from her girlfriend, but Mon argued that every relationship was transactional, arguing that she let them date for this long, when she has many rich men pursuing them, because of that. Mon later has trouble explaining her financial troubles to her friends who threaten legal action. Afterwards, she tells Jay that by marrying a guy named Derek, who is crazy in love with her, all problems will be solved. But Jay claims that she doesnât love him, then Mon comes back to asking Chan to help her, and blames her money problems on raising Jay. Jay is hurt by the lack of affection, but agrees to marry Derek, arguing that this is the last time she will help her. From now on, she will live her own life, with Mon arguing she should have done it sooner, and not reacting to Jay crying. So, she left Chan, but not before finding the wedding rings she hid. She broke down crying and claiming that she was sorry. She report Chan that after she married, Derek gave her aunt everything she had hoped for, and she got money to start her own business. When she completed her duty, she divorced him and came back to her. Chan claim that she never though Jay was this kind of person. Jay claims she did it to become free, so that she can love her without worrying about anything. But Chan thinks she is too brazen, and Jay admits that she is so shameless to come back to her, but she claims that she came back to the one who truly loves her â Chan â and claims she saw the rings and that she wanted to marry her, and asks for another chance. But Chan claims that no matter what her reason was, from the day that she left her, she stopped believing in love. Sheâs doing this not because she canât forgive her â but their relationship is over. Itâs all in the past. Jay claims itâs because of Key, but Chan claims it has nothing to do with her, she just hasnât got any love to give her. She compares kissing and smoking again and wants them to kiss to prove it. If she kisses her and doesnât feel that excitement, she will let her go, she promises. And Jay kisses Chan â right at the moment that Key returns to the apartment and gets a perfect view of it. She drops the cat food she brought which makes Jay and Chan realize that they are no longer alone. Key just leaves without a word and Chan wants to run after her, but Jay holds her back waiting for the answer. Chan tells her she doesnât have feelings for her anymore, and her kiss meant nothing to her. She claims that sheâs sorry and say goodbye to Jay before running after Key. Jay break down crying claiming itâs not true. Chan catches Key outside the hotel, and tells her to hear her out. She claims that her heart is only beating fast whenever she kisses her, whether itâs the first time or any other time. She kisses her on the mouth â breaking her own rule â and tells her she loves her, before kissing her again. And thatâs where the first half on âMoonshadowâ ends. ____ That was the longest episode to date which covered a lot of ground, as Chan finally chose between Jay and Key after Jay revealed her family problems which caused her to break up with Chan and marry someone else. I personally think she made the wrong decision as Chan surely would have preferred helping her aunt over breaking up, but in the end, it was her choice that ruined the relationship, and Chan was right not to forgive her. I was surprised that Chan bursts out the âI love youâ to Key at the end, but this should put an end to the well-acted love triangle. Yet next week, actress Um will return in her "favorite" role: as a mother who causes trouble for her daughter (as in "The Secret of Us" and in "Affair"). I suspect sheâll fit right in with the awful mother figures that Keyâs mom and Jayâs aunt are; Iâll be there for sure.
