Warning: The following recap of Big Mouth episode 16 contains spoilers.
The sixteenth episode of Big Mouth kicks off with Do-ha and Chang-ho facing off against each other in an election for mayor. While Mi-ho and Jerry are in the process of introducing themselves to one another, they make their way to the fish factory and sneak into the property without giving it a second thought. Fight breaks out, and obviously, they end up capturing the man who was in charge of the fish farm. In the meantime, Chang-ho comes to the realisation that the discussion itself is rigged.
Mi-ho does not threaten the man in charge with water from the farm; instead, he orders him to reveal the information. In the meantime, Do-ha brings up the cryptocurrency case, and she questions Chang-ho about whether or not he will withdraw from the election contest if it is discovered that the claim is accurate. A gleam has appeared in his eyes, and we are all well aware of what this signifies.
Behind the scenes of the argument, however, Chae-bong is freaking out over the possibility of the fish farm becoming embroiled in this mess, and he hurries out to find a method to prevent the infiltrators from inflicting any further damage. During the discussion, Chang-ho doesn’t stop himself from bringing up the most awkward topics, such as NF9 and his grandfather, in order to make Do-ha uncomfortable in his seat.
Do-ha appears agitated and uncomfortable, and it seems as though he needs a few moments to collect himself before continuing. In the meantime, Mi-ho and the crew obtain a recording of the in-charge person’s confession, in which he practically reveals everything to them regarding the fish, the water, the radiation, as well as the money that NK Chemicals provides them. In addition, they collect anything and everything from the farm that could be used as evidence and take it with them.
Mi-ho makes the decision to transport all of the evidence to the television station after she has finished gathering it all. However, they are having difficulty getting to them, and Chun-sik recommends to Jerry and Mi-ho that they escape while he and the others try to stop the others. They are followed by Chae-bong, and Du-geun makes the decision to notify the police. Meanwhile, Soon-tae gathers all of the information and promises to handle everything by herself.
Chae-bong believes that they have little chance of survival once the automobile driven by Mi-ho is stopped on the road. The unfortunate criminals are given a police escort and are removed from the scene in a timely manner, much to the dismay of the perpetrators of the crime. Mi-father ho’s calls her after everything is over, and in the midst of an emotional moment, she reveals to her father, who is unaware of the situation, that she is very glad.
