Warning: The following recap of Big Mouth episode 16 contains spoilers.

The sixteenth episode of Big Mouth begins with Do-ha and Chang-ho facing off in a mayoral election. While Mi-ho and Jerry are in the process of introducing each other, they go to the fish factory and sneak into the property without a second thought. A fight breaks out, and of course, they capture the man who runs the fish farm. Meanwhile, Chang-ho realizes that the discussion itself has been rigged.

Mi-ho doesn’t threaten the man who manages the water from the farm; instead, he ordered him to reveal the information. Meanwhile, Do-ha brings up the cryptocurrency case, and he questions Chang-ho about whether or not he will withdraw from the election contest if the claim is found to be accurate. A glint appeared in his eyes, and we all knew what that meant.

Behind the scenes of the argument, however, Chae-bong is freaking out over the possibility of the fish farm being involved in this mess, and he rushes out to find a way to prevent the infiltrators from causing any further damage. During the discussion, Chang-ho doesn’t stop himself from bringing up the most awkward topics, like NF9 and his grandfather, to make Do-ha uncomfortable in her seat.

Do-ha appears flustered and uncomfortable, and seems to need a moment to collect herself before continuing. Meanwhile, Mi-ho and the crew get a recording of the man-in-charge’s confession, where he tells them almost everything about the fish, the water, the radiation, as well as the money being given to them of NK Chemicals. In addition, they collect anything and everything from the farm that can be used as evidence and bring it with them.

Mi-ho decides to take all the evidence to the television station after she gathers everything. However, they have trouble getting to them, and Chun-sik recommends to Jerry and Mi-ho that they run away while he and the others try to stop the others. Chae-bong follows them, and Du-geun decides to inform the police. Meanwhile, Soon-tae gathers all the information and vows to handle everything by himself.

Chae-bong believes their chances of survival are slim once the car driven by Mi-ho stops on the road. The unfortunate criminals are given a police escort and removed from the scene in a timely manner, much to the chagrin of the perpetrators of the crime. Mi-father ho calls him after all, and in the middle of an emotional moment, he reveals to his father, who is unaware of the situation, that he is overjoyed.
