Episode 8 of *The Resurrected* opens in 2018, where Jin Jin, Hsin-yi, and An-chi are classmates bound by both friendship and adversity. During a harrowing physical education class, the sports teacher coerces the girls into performing upside-down stunts, causing their T-shirts to slide down and expose them in a demeaning manner. Jin Jin, displaying remarkable courage, confronts the teacher head-on and publicly calls him out for his inappropriate behavior.
The incident escalates swiftly as the parents of the affected students are summoned to meet with the school principal. Amidst the tense gathering, Ching vehemently clashes with the school board, demanding the teacher's immediate dismissal for his attempted sexual assault on the girls. I-chen, however, votes against taking such drastic action, while Hui-chun remains initially silent, her thoughts clouded by indecision. Meanwhile, Jin Jin accuses Hsin-yi of inadvertently causing trouble for An-chi, adding another layer of tension to the already volatile situation. Eventually, Hui-chun's conscience compels her to side with Ching, and together, they succeed in having the sports teacher fired. Ching, proud of her daughter's bravery, commends Jin Jin for her courageous stand.
The narrative then shifts to the present day, where Hui-chun meticulously combs through the bank accounts linked to An-chi, Jin Jin, and Hsin-yi's professional endeavors in Taiwan. In parallel, Ching and I-chen delve into the Tai Chi Association's recent financial maneuvers, tracing the conversion of cryptocurrency acquired through Shih-kai's illicit activities into charitable donations. I-chen uncovers a disturbing alliance between a legislator named Kuo Chih-chieh and Mrs. Chung. She informs Ching that they must gather more incriminating evidence against Mrs. Chung and the Tai Chi Association before involving the police. In a surprising twist, it is revealed that Kuo Chih-chieh's assistant is none other than Kuo-chiang's mistress, adding a new dimension to the intricate web of deceit.
Desperate to clear Jin Jin's name, Hui-chun attempts to present Ching with compelling evidence of her innocence. However, Ching, still reeling from past betrayals, refuses to trust Hui-chun's claims. Undeterred, Hui-chun's desperation grows as she races against time to save Jin Jin from impending doom. In a daring move, Eason and Hui-chun subdue Shih-kai, binding him securely. Eason then embarks on a perilous mission to meet Christina in a lavish hotel room. There, Christina reveals a crucial piece of information: she possesses the crypto wallet that could potentially unravel the entire conspiracy.
Eason demands that she hand it over, but she lunges at him in a sudden attack, her fury revealing that she's uncovered his collaboration with Hui-chun and Ching. Eason, in a fit of anger, brands Christina as evil, a mirrored image of her malevolent brother, before storming out of the hotel room. As Christina stands there, her mind drifts back to the days when Shih-kai had shielded her from their mother's wrath.
Meanwhile, Ching confronts Kuo-chiang, urging his mistress to surrender the incriminating documents that link Kuo Chih-chieh to the Tai Chi Association. In a chilling proposal, she offers to eliminate Jin Jin, ensuring Kuo-chiang's freedom from any alimony obligations to Hui-chun.
Simultaneously, Mrs. Chung pleads with Chih-chieh to delay the promotional events slated for the Tai Chi Association. Eason, desperate, calls Christina, proposing a trade: Shih-kai's freedom for the crypto wallet. Christina, with a menacing glint in her eye, threatens to gun down Eason and Hui-chun before fleeing with Shih-kai, the wallet still in her possession.
During the tense drive, Shih-kai questions Christina's decision not to kill Eason. Christina, her voice tinged with bitterness, reveals that despite their shared blood, their lives have diverged drastically. Yet, she laments that her bond with Shih-kai has shattered any hope of a normal existence. In a moment of desperation, she threatens to shoot her own brother, demanding half of the crypto wallet's bounty.
Suddenly, the car spirals out of control, crashing violently. Christina succumbs to her injuries, but Shih-kai miraculously survives. Hui-chun and Eason, hot on their trail, seize the wallet from Christina's purse. Hui-chun, with a steely gaze, orders Shih-kai to eliminate Ching if he ever hopes to reclaim the crypto wallet.
News of Christina's demise reaches Mrs. Chung, who is summoned to examine the body. However, her primary concern lies not with the deceased but with the missing crypto wallet. She instructs Master to track down Christina's boyfriend, Eason.
The following day, I-chen and An-chi board a flight to the USA, where the lawyer is escorting her sister to college. Defying her mother's wishes, An-chi disembarks prematurely, rushing to Shih-kai's side. Eason assists Hui-chun in scrutinizing Jin Jin's financial transactions from her time in Taiwan.
Ching is stunned to learn that Hui-chun has allowed Shih-kai to escape. Pong warns Ching of the imminent danger she faces, as both Shih-kai and the Tai Chi Association plot her downfall. Hui-chun, eager to sever ties, urges Eason to depart now that his role is fulfilled. Eason, stubbornly refusing, is met with Hui-chun's relentless attempts to push him away.
Concurrently, Ching coerces Kuo-chiang into signing the euthanasia documents for Jin Jin. Shih-kai, meanwhile, meets with An-chi, who frantically calls Ching on his behalf, pleading with her to rendezvous immediately.
In the seclusion of their private moments, Shih-kai attempts to gaslight An-chi, unveiling the truth that Jin Jin had once safeguarded her by summoning Hsin-yi to Taiwan. He lays the blame squarely on An-chi's shoulders, accusing her of being the catalyst for the tragic demise of both Jin Jin and Hsin-yi. Meanwhile, Hui-chun rushes to the hospital, only to discover that Jin Jin's life support has been withdrawn, a decision endorsed by Kuo-chiang's signature.
Later that fateful day, Eason crosses paths with Pong, and the two forge a pact to prevent Ching and Hui-chun from self-destructing. In a gesture of trust and resolve, Eason hands over the crypto wallet to Pong, empowering Ching to dismantle the Tai Chi Association from within.
In a parallel twist of fate, Ching arrives to rendezvous with An-chi, but their reunion is marred by Shih-kai's murderous intent. As he lunges at Ching with lethal force, An-chi springs into action, launching a fierce counterattack that allows them both to escape the clutches of death. However, their freedom is short-lived as Mrs. Chung's gangsters give chase to Eason, their eyes set on his demise.
Eason, driven by a selfless desire to shield Hui-chun from harm, flees from her only to meet his own tragic end, felled by a hail of bullets. The gangsters, ruthless and efficient, retrieve the crypto wallet from Eason's lifeless body, while Pong, ever the ally, assists Hui-chun in finding sanctuary as the episode draws to a dramatic and heart-wrenching close.
