About this episode
In Episode 4, “Six Legs,” alliances are formed as players are thrown into their first team game. Hosts Phil Yu and Kiera Please unpack the heart-pounding moments as Gi-hun reluctantly steps into the role of leader as the players face a grueling six-legged pentathlon that demands far more than brute strength to survive. Meanwhile, Pink Guard 011 grapples with her own complex morality, further blurring the lines between mercy and brutality. We’ll explore the unexpected strength of the “misfits” team, while Detective Jun-ho’s rescue mission takes a darker turn. It all raises the pressing question: How far up the chain of command do the games truly go?
Finally, Phil and Kiera try their hand at Gonggi, a classic Korean schoolyard game inspired by this episode, and Phil’s mom joins in to share her take on Season 2!
SPOILER ALERT! Make sure you watch Squid Game Season 2 Episode 4 before listening on.
