As the third episode of "Typhoon Family" unfolds, Tae-poong's determination to halt the trucks clashes with a wave of protestors who converge on the scene. Mi-seon's realization that the company's factory has ceased operations serves as a pivotal moment for Ma-jin, who finally relents and halts the conveyance. Tae-poong accompanies the truck drivers, leaving the remaining employees to scramble for a warehouse to stash the Italian goods. The task proves daunting, fueling growing impatience among the drivers.
Meanwhile, Nam-mo takes the stage in a music competition, her voice resonating with the evening's mood. In a bid to secure a temporary haven for the goods, Tae-poong ingeniously repurposes an empty outdoor parking lot for trucks, renting each spot to accommodate a load and braving the chilly night to ensure the luxury cloth remains untouched.
The following day, Tae-poong and his comrades encounter Pyo Bak-ho, who generously offers them the use of a warehouse – albeit in a state of disrepair – on the condition that they pay later. As Tae-poong escorts Mi-seon home that evening, she confides her aspiration to be more than an office assistant, admiring the trade rather. Meanwhile, Eul-nyeo's world is turned upside down when her bank closes its doors, ending her employment.
In this way, the episode weaves together threads of resilience, sacrifice, and dreams amidst the chaos of a rapidly changing world, bringing to life the heart and soul of "Typhoon Family."
When the company isn’t able to find a buyer for the Italian cloth, Mi-seon suggests they return the cloth to the Italians. Even with a 30% fee, they would earn a profit thanks to the drop in the value of the Korean Won.
After a lot of waiting, the Italians send a fax accepting Typhoon Trading’s proposal as long as the quality and quantity of the goods stays the same.
Later that night, Tae-poong wakes up with the sound of a thunderstorm. He and Mi-seon meet at the run down warehouse where the rain is pouring inside through holes in the ceiling.
Soon, the rest of the team turns up and together, they cover all the goods with plastic sheets. After a long night’s hard work, the team heads out to eat.
Everyone realises it’s Tae-poong’s birthday which they remember well since it’s one day before the founding of the company.
They celebrate by eating seaweed soup which puts a smile on Tae-poong’s face. However, it doesn’t last long because Pyo Merchant Marine soon confiscates their goods.
Manager Ha, one of the company’s employees, points out that the contract states the goods can only be held for 72 hours without payment. Tae-poong storms into Pyo Bak-ho’s office and confronts him. In the process, he realises they did it all on purpose.
The company employees fall into despair. That evening, Tae-poong considers the saving account passbooks again. We learn that the accounts are in Tae-poong’s name, including the ones Jin-young left for his employees.
Back home, Jeong-mi gives Tae-poong his favourite cake (for which she visited the pawn shop). She tells him that even if things are bad, she doesn’t want to lose her integrity.
The following day, the air at Typhoon was heavy with impending change as every employee began the arduous task of packing their belongings. Tae-poong, with a heart heavy with unspoken despair, attempted to dissuade them, but his words fell on deaf ears. They presented him with the official forms declaring the business closure and disappeared into the hustle and bustle of the city.
Tae-poong trudged to his greenhouse, where the once vibrant plants now lay withered and lifeless. But amidst the chaos, he stumbled upon a few small fruits, miraculously defying the odds. He gathered them up, cherishing their resilience in the face of adversity.
With a renewed determination, he set out on foot to Mi-seon's residence, eventually crossing paths with her on a street corner. His eyes met hers, and he confessed that he had indeed visited the tax office but instead of closing the business, he had simply altered the company's representative status. In essence, Tae-poong was now the CEO of Typhoon.
He extended an invitation to Mi-seon, not as an assistant but as a trader, hoping to revive the once-thriving business. She hesitated for a moment, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, but then nodded in agreement.
