Do-ha attacks Doo-shik, screaming that it’s Doo-shik’s fault his father became paralyzed. The others have to drag him off Doo-shik, who takes in all the horrified faces around him and slowly gets up to stagger away. Hye-jin follows, despite him telling her not to. She’s sure there must have been a misunderstanding, but Doo-shik says Do-ha was right: it was his fault. And what’s more, he also destroyed the family in the photo by killing the father. Stunned, Hye-jin lets him go.
Doo-shik barely makes it home and sinks to the floor. Suddenly, he grabs his chest and gropes his way to the kitchen, where he swallows a handful of pills and sits back down on the floor to catch his breath. Hye-jin also sits in stunned silence at home until Mi-sun gets back. She asks if Hye-jin is okay, and Hye-jin bursts into tears, unsure what to think now.
The next day, Geum-chul, Nam-sook, and Chun-jae struggle to keep up with all their work without Doo-shik to help them. But they’re more worried about Doo-shik than they are upset, and they all emphatically declare their belief in his innocence. Meanwhile, Gam-ri leaves a meal just inside Doo-shik’s door, and we see Doo-shik still sitting huddled up on the kitchen floor.
Sung-hyun sees Ji-won talking to that other director and rushes over to separate them, telling her the Gongjin footage has disappeared. Ji-won runs off to check, and Sung-hyun stares the other director down before following. But, of course, nothing happened to the footage – he just wanted to get her away from the other director. He asks her not to talk work with other men, and when she asks if he minds her talking to other men about non-work stuff, his eyes bug out. But while she waits anxiously for his answer, Do-ha pokes his head in to ask Sung-hyun for a word, and Ji-won tells Sung-hyun to just go.
