Nancy, Lucy’s twin sister, reassumes the position of CEO and starts full-time operations at their slaughterhouse. Okja is recaptured and the ALF members are arrested, except for Mija and Jay, who are rescued by K. Lucy surrenders the company to her twin sister Nancy, who contacts a private security firm to take out ALF members. The ALF shows Okja's mistreatment to the public, who quickly turn on Mirando.

To minimize PR damage to the company, Lucy pays for Mija to come to NYC to reunite with her pig. Mija asks them to return her to the mountains but K purposely mistranslates and tells them Mija agrees. He asks another ALF member, K, to translate and tell Mija that they plan to put a recording device in Okja's ear and let her be recaptured by the Mirando Corporation to document how they mistreat animals. In the resulting chaos, Mija and Okja run away but are eventually saved by the ALF, led by Jay. Mija chases down the truck but it is intercepted by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Devastated, Mija goes to Seoul to find Okja, where she sees her being loaded onto a truck. Her grandfather gives Mija a gold pig, explaining he saved up to replace Okja when she was taken away.
