Squid Game – Ep07 – VIPS
The players return to find Mi-nyeo, who lacked a partner for the marbles game, still alive, having been given a free pass to the next game. Foreign VIPs, who had been remotely betting on the games, arrive to watch and wager on the remaining rounds live. Jun-ho, disguised as one of the masked servants, is propositioned by a VIP. In a private room, he attacks the VIP and records his confession before escaping the island. Meanwhile, in the fifth game, players must cross a two-panel wide bridge, with panels made of either tempered or regular glass, the latter of which cannot support their weight. Players at the front of the line fall to their deaths as they cross the panels. Deok-su, refusing to move despite the clock ticking, pressures others to test the panels before him. As revenge, Mi-nyeo sacrifices herself to pull him down with her to their deaths. Player 017, a seasoned glass worker, identifies the safe panels until the Front Man turns off the lights, removing his advantage. With time running out, Sang-woo pushes Player 017 to his death, revealing the last tempered panel. Only Gi-hun, Sang-woo, and Sae-byeok complete the game, but explosions shatter the remaining panels, injuring the three players.
