Given a concyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ with circumcenter $O$. Let $E$ be the intersection of $AD$ and $BC$, while $F$ be the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$. A circle $w$ are tangent to $BD$ and $AC$ such that $F$ is the orthocenter of $\triangle QEP$ where $PQ$ is a diameter of $w$. Prove that $EO$ passes through the center of $w$.

I don't see the definition of $P$ and $Q$.

A circle $w$ are tangent to $BP$ and $CP$ such that $F$ is the orthocenter of $\triangle QEP$. Prove that $EO$ passes through the center of $w$. Are you sure? What I wrote down was $w$ tangent to $BD$ and $AC$ Oh, also $PQ$ is the diameter of $w$

My apologies, I'm sure that the new one is correct. If there are something wrong just tell me.

clip((xmin,ymin)--(xmin,ymax)--(xmax,ymax)--(xmax,ymin)--cycle); [/asy][/asy] First, flip the condition. $K$ is defined as $AB \cap CD$. Let $G$ be the center of the circle, which is $EO$ intersect the angle bisector of $\angle AFD$. $P$ is defined as the perpendicular line through $G$ to $EF$ intersect $G$, wlog it's at 'outside'. I redefined the point $Q$ here (see below). $H$ is the foot of perpendicular from $P$ to $EF$. $X$ is the second intersection of $EP$ and $(G)$. We want to show $\angle FXP = 90^{\circ}$, which is equivalent to $PXFH$ cyclic. Let $Y$, $Z$ be the points of tangencies at $(G)$ to $AC$, $BD$ respectively. Let $L=KF\cap EO$ which $KL bot EO$ by Brokard's. Clearly, $GLZHFY$ is cyclic. Let $S$ be a point on $BC$ such that $FS$ is tangent to $(GLZHFY)$. $R=LF \cap BC$, $Q=GF \cap BC$. Now we are ready to solve the problem. Claim: $Y$, $Z$, $E$ collinear. Proof: it suffices to show $\{(Y,Z),(G,L),(F,H)\}$ are reciprocal pairs. Projecting through $F$ onto $BC$, we need to show that $\{(B,C),(Q,R),(S,E)\}$ are reciprocal pairs. But $(B,C;R,S)=(B,C;Q,E)=-1$ and hence an inversive center exists as inversion preserves cross ratios. Now by radical center on $(YZHF)$ and $(PXZY)$, $(PXHF)$ is cyclic as desired. :>
