Eva wins the 18-year martial arts contest and is tasked with eliminating the Ten Villains living in Villains' Valley.

Eva carries out the mission based on the official order without knowing the villains were framed.

Eva's madness results from two factors combined. First, she has been drinking Mad Wine, which drains her energy over time. Second, the revelation that Fishy is her own son with Yin Nam-tin overwhelms her with remorse. The emotional shock, combined with the poison's effects, causes her to lose her grip on reality.

Foreshadowing: The Kongs deliberately feed Mad Wine to Eva before the finals to weaken her.

The charity funds intended for flood victims in Eastern China were actually stolen by the Twin Villains, not the original Ten Villains.

Foreshadowing: Eva's own defeat left her unable to lead directly, so she needs a proxy who can appear in public.
