He employs a threatening tactic by invoking Seok-cheol's name before abruptly departing. Subsequently, Seok-cheol pays a visit to Mi-young, unaware of her secret encounter with Tae-hoon. She initially refrains from mentioning the confrontation but eventually gathers the strength to confront Tae-hoon directly, sternly ordering him to keep his distance.
Elsewhere, Seok-kyung, pining for her son, reaches out to Seok-hee. At this juncture, Seok-hee has just requested a break-up with Ki-hong, still perturbed by their chance meeting with the hospital director's daughter the previous day. Her doubts persist, even as Ki-hong assures her that his visit was solely to inform the woman of his engagement. As Seok-kyung's incessant calls begin to irritate Seok-hee, she resolves to put an end to the situation once and for all. She summons her mother to assist with cleaning her apartment, setting the stage for an impending confrontation.
Unbeknownst to Seok-kyung, Byeong-soo spots Seok-hee's mother approaching and frantically warns her. However, it's a case of too little, too late; Seok-kyung attempts to conceal herself in the bathroom but is promptly discovered. In a heartfelt plea, she begs her mother to stay, and the two end up sharing a bowl of ramen, an unexpected moment of intimacy amidst turmoil. Seok-hee's return triggers a fierce altercation between her and her mother, leaving both parties feeling profoundly helpless and entangled in their respective predicaments.
Concurrently, a spy from Seok-cheol's gang, who has been tailing Seok-cheol and Mi-young for Tae-hoon, delivers dire news: Seok-cheol has received orders to eliminate him.

As Tae-hoon steels himself for the impending confrontation, Du-shik, a seasoned gambler aligned with Seok-cheol's gang, strikes a deal to eliminate Tae-hoon on behalf of their boss, only to betray the trust and abscond with the reward at the eleventh hour. Seok-cheol, along with his fellow gang members, launches an urgent manhunt for the fugitive Du-shik. Matters escalate when Seok-cheol confronts his superior over the situation. Amidst this turmoil, Seok-cheol faces another twist of fate as his car breaks down en route to delivering a dress to Mi-young. Desperate and determined, he opts to run to her instead.
