The Overcome Obstacle round brought the studio to an emotional high when Quynh Ngan correctly revealed the keyword “Nguyen Du”. She impressed the audience by reciting two famous lines by the great national poet:

With the scores still close, the competition headed into a nail-biting Finish round.
Van Quyen went first in the Finish round, choosing a set of three 20-point questions. However, she failed to answer all three, allowing Thu Ha to capitalize on the opportunity and gain 20 points on the last question.
Thu Ha then took on her 20-point question set, answering two correctly to raise her score to 215.
Next, Quynh Ngan chose a set valued at 20, 20, and 30 points. She could not answer the second star of hope question, giving Van Quyen the chance to earn 20 more points. Unfortunately, Quynh Ngan did not earn any additional points in this round.
