With some large help from Sun Shang Xiang, Guan Yu and Cao Cao are both spared from a death sentence. Dong Zhuo swaps souls with a dog after he attempted to attack Zhang Bao but got interrupted by the dog. Lu Bu returns. Sun Shang Xiang, shortened "Ah Xiang", transfers to Dong Han Academy, and Xiu/Liu Bei looks pleased. Meanwhile, Cao Cao begins to reveal a darker side of himself as he takes on the responsibilities of a principal now that Dong Zhuo is a dog and Wang Yun is in coma.
