Little do they know, fate has a surprise waiting for them. As they stroll through the vibrant stalls, John accidentally bumps into an old flame, Runi. The encounter is awkward yet intriguing, as introductions are made and Runi introduces her charming six-year-old son, Benjamin. Jane observes the interaction closely, noting the unique feature of Runi's hand and commenting on it to John. John, however, insists that she had two hands, but Jane is adamant about her observation.

Later, the Other John reveals the secrets of his life as John Smith, describing how he has enjoyed a comfortable existence within the company's shadows. He has been living this double life for six or seven years, balancing the ordinary with the extraordinary. Jan is introduced to him as well, and the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Other John suggests a double date, inviting his Jane along as well.

The Smiths' house becomes the venue for this unusual double date, and John and Jane rush to prepare for their guests. As they bustle around, they realize they are wearing identical turtleneck t-shirts, a comical coincidence that adds to the surreal atmosphere.

The Other Smiths arrive, bearing a bottle of wine, and the evening unfolds in a blur of laughter and conversation. The original Smiths are fascinated to learn that the Other Smiths don't receive messages from Hihi, a detail that adds to the mystery of their lives. Jane takes Other Jane on a tour of their home, even showing her the panic room, a testament to their unconventional lifestyle.

In the office, Jane inquisitively asks Other Jane about the company, seeking insights into their shared but separate worlds. Other Jane offers words of caution, advising her not to dwell too deeply on the mysteries of their existence.

Dinner is served, and the conversation turns to lighter topics as amusing stories are shared. It transpires that Other John started his job years ago and was later rematched with Other Jane, a revelation that underscores the unpredictable nature of their lives. The Other Smiths brag about their high-risk lifestyle, claiming that the perks outweigh the dangers. The Smiths, listening intently, begin to entertain the idea of levelling up in their own lives.

The conversation eventually turns to a more sensitive topic - intimacy. The Smiths and the Other Smiths exchange stories about their rules and the pact they made to part ways once they have made enough money. This revelation prompts laughter from the other two, who seem to find the idea of a clean break from their lives together highly amusing. The evening ends on a note of camaraderie and understanding, with the Smiths realizing that their lives, however unconventional, are richer and more fulfilling than they could have imagined.

Later on, the atmosphere shifted as they engaged in a friendly arm wrestling match, discussing the latest gossip about celebrities. The Other Smiths recounted one of their hair-raising missions, a daring rescue operation in Bali, where they had to extricate someone from prison without any backup or ammunition. Other John then imparted a valuable lesson, emphasizing that mastering their breathing technique would enable them to navigate any perilous situation.

Their conversation took an unexpected turn as they revealed a dark secret, admitting that they had once been forced to eliminate some of their fellow Smiths, though the reason remained a mystery. Suddenly, the mission bell rang, and despite the effects of the alcohol, they sprang to action. On impulse, they extended an invitation to the Smiths to join them on this ultra-high-risk assignment. Jane eagerly accepted, and John, influenced by her enthusiasm, followed suit.

On their way, the Other Smiths equipped John and Jane with location trackers, affixing them securely to their bodies. They boarded a helicopter, but at the last moment, the Other Smiths opted to stay behind, bidding the Smiths a mischievous farewell and wishing them luck on their mission. Hours later, the helicopter deposited John and Jane in a dense forest, with the pilot promising to return within thirty minutes.

Within the forest, they were ambushed by a group of men. Their belongings were confiscated, and they were escorted to a shack, where a bloody confrontation erupted. In the midst of the chaos, John and Jane found a moment to exchange tender "I love you"s. Covered in bruises and blood, they somehow managed to make their way back to the helicopter.

During the return journey, the Other Smiths contacted them, and John calmly recounted their narrow escape, describing how they had been forced to dispatch the leader of the men with a machete to survive. The Other Smiths seemed unfazed by the tale. Upon their return, the Smiths were rewarded with a generous payment for their efforts.

Back at their home that evening, John sneaked a peek at Runi's Instagram account, relieved to confirm that she indeed had two hands. He used Jane's earlier jest to tease her, revealing that she had indeed displayed a hint of jealousy. Jane then reminded John of their heartfelt confession amidst the machete fight. She stressed that she meant it; she truly loved him. He reciprocated her feelings, confessing his love for her. Together, they pondered their earlier infatuation with the Other Smiths, wondering why they had been so captivated by them during the dinner party that capped off Mr. & Mrs. Smith Episode 4.
