Episode 6 of "Love Scout" kicks off with a poignant flashback to the fateful fire that claimed Ji-yun's father's life as he bravery attempted to rescue another. This haunting memory resurfaces in Ji-yun's dreams, causing her to whimper softly in her sleep. Through the night, Eun-ho, ever the gentle soul, holds her hand tightly, offering silent comfort. When morning arrives, they awaken abruptly and rush downstairs, with Ji-yun narrowly escaping Byeol's notice as she departs.
Meanwhile, Ms. Cho, a highly skilled but self-taught luxury brand repair expert, arrives at Peoplez to embark on the new role offered to her by Ji-yun and Eun-ho. Ji-yun warmly welcomes her, reassuring her that the years she has spent honing her craft are invaluable, despite her lack of formal education.
Later, over dinner with Mi-ae, Ji-yun delves deeper into Eun-ho's past. She discovers that he tied the knot shortly after college but divorced when Byeol was just a year old. Since then, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to raising his daughter, even taking a paternal leave that ultimately led to his departure from a previous company.
The following day, Peoplez encounters resistance from a skeptical client who doubts Ms. Cho's capabilities. To complicate matters further, the client's company is accused of selling a counterfeit bag due to a minor discrepancy in the logo. But Ms. Cho rises to the challenge, meticulously inspecting the bag and confidently pronouncing it authentic. In response, the company issues an official statement, clearing its name.Elsewhere, Su-hyeon's son finds himself entangled in a confrontation with a classmate who cruelly mocks him and Byeol for having "blended families." Following this incident, Byeol chance encounters Ji-yun at a quaint bookstore, where Ji-yun opens up about her own upbringing by a solitary father, forging an even deeper connection between them. Later, when Byeol mysteriously disappears, Su-hyeon reaches out to Eun-ho, who promptly dashes out of his office in a panic. He tracks her down at the hospital, accompanied by Ji-yun, where Byeol is being attended to for a minor scrape sustained while chasing after a playful kitten.
At Peoplez, tensions escalate as experts persist in declaring the bag a fake, casting aspersions on Ms. Cho's integrity and underscoring her lack of formal credentials. However, after an emotional heart-to-heart with her daughter, who comes to realize that her mother's true calling lies in luxury brand appraisal, Ms. Cho musters the courage to forge ahead. Ultimately, an official assessment by the manufacturer validates the bag's authenticity, vindicating Ms. Cho and securing her new position instantly.
Later revelations uncover Jeong-hun's father as an investor in Career Way, adding yet another layer of complexity to the narrative as he convenes with Hye-ji. As the day draws to a close, Ji-yun ponders deeply over Jeong-hun's probing question: What does Eun-ho signify to her? Unable to dislodge this thought from her mind, she tentatively dials Eun-ho's number, inquiring about his couch, reminiscing about how comfortably she once slept on it, and requesting its details.
The following day, Ji-yun astounds everyone with her polished demeanor, having agreed to accompany Eun-ho to an event using tickets generously given by Ms. Cho. The episode concludes with the two meeting outside the venue, setting the stage for what promises to be a turning point in their unfolding story.
