Seems like the boss knows a lot about Gi-hun’s plans.  Good guesses on human nature?   Will they find Gi-hun’s tracker?  His wanting to return to the game seemed to throw them off.  
 

interesting that we see, sort of,  a recruitment of a worker.  Wonder what she was actually told.

I didn't like this one as much as the first one, but it was interesting to see that they were recruiting workers too. Can't wait to see the games. I know the first one is still Green Light Red Light, but I wonder if the other ones will be different. I have the feeling that the ones we saw in the first season were tailored for the old man.

I think I recall the old man saying at least some of the games were his favorites.

Yeah I assume some of the games change each year maybe red light/green light is always first because it's a reliable...well ...herd thinner.

Oooh and now we know No-Eul is a masked woman.  And considering how calculated she was about resigning and the triangle (mid-level?) it's not her first games.  I still wonder how they decide to choose player and worker.

Something tells me the artist with the sick daughter is a future player as well.

We knew Gi-Hun was headed back to the games but even Front Man seemed taken back. At least he and Jun-Ho are communicating but Jun -Ho not telling him the truth about his brother is gonna bite him.  

Game time!

Who was the kid Gi-Hun left with the woman who ran the fish market at the end of Season 1? With a bunch of money? Was it another player's kid?

[kittykat]

It was Kang Sae-Byok's little brother.  He left him in the care of Sang-Woo's mother along with a decent chunk of his winnings.

Awww I am so glad that Kang Sae-Byok's brother and Sang-Woo's mother are doing well together, this show can be so brutal its always good to see those little wins. 

Really interesting that No-Eul was being recruited as a guard and not a player, I guess because she's desperate but has some military training and a willingness to make tough choices. I suspected that something different was happening when she was recruited without the creepy recruiter guy, it should be interesting seeing more of the other side of the game. 

We all knew that Gi-Hun would end up back in the game, but the Front Man certainly was taken aback.
