We find Jae-yeol returning home after getting patched up at the hospital as he reads a note Hae-soo left before he woke up. In it, she tells him to text her his bank account number so she can compensate him for his injury, which gets a rueful laugh out of him before he crumples and tosses the note.
Thinking twice, he picks it back up and decides to call her. He's taken aback when Hae-soo is so completely unfazed by his call that she threatens to hang up if he doesn't get to the point now, so he simply says that they should make sure to see each other at least once before they die.
He mumbles an insult under his breath after hanging up, while Hae-soo looks at her phone like it sprouted legs: "He doesn't want any money? Forget it then!"
She's got more important things to worry about: The female patient (Soo-bin) who was escorted out of the hospital by her mother againstHae-soo's explicit warnings, is back in the hospital after a failed suicide attempt.
Hae-soo's frustration with Soo-bin's mother is apparent, so much so that Doctor Lee sends her outside since the woman is in hysterics after the incident.
After getting a call from ex-wife Doctor Lee about Hae-soo needing therapy, Sunbae Jo has to deal with a minor attack by one of his angry psychiatric patients by reminding him that if he doesn't continue therapy, he'll be imprisoned for domestic abuse against his wife and son.
Hae-soo is not happy when Doctor Lee confronts her about the therapy issue, since she sees nothing wrong with having yelled at Soo-bin's mother for almost killing her daughter.
Doctor Lee's argument is that outbursts like hers creates mental patients, and that Hae-soo didn't have a right to be upset at Soo-bin's mother when that woman almost lost her daughter. Hae-soo losing a patient pales in comparison.
If this sounds like a serious issue, it's because it is. If the cheery music playing seems jarring, it's because it is. Even if both Hae-soo and Doctor Lee know each other well enough to toe the line between a "talking-to" and friendly advice, these weirdly chipper music choices are just bizarre.
But since Hae-soo is still her student, Doctor Lee entrusts her with a difficult new patient who's obsessed with making erotic drawings of anyone he sees-and to make matters more complicated, Doctor Lee adds that taking his sketchpad away causes him depression and insomnia. If Hae-soo wants to prove herself, she has to find a way to help him.
Jae-yeol's editor (who we'll just call Editor Bae) is incensed about his girlfriend plagiarizing his book, as well as the audacity Pul-ip had to claim that he was the one who plagiarized off her.
She chides Jae-yeol for talking about his novel when he should've just kept things physical with Pul-ip, to which he cheekily replies that people talk about all sorts of things in bed-and the fact that she doesn't know that is the reason she's still single.
After telling Editor Bae to move forward in suing Pul-ip, he's greeted like a celebrity as he attends his book signing. His young admirer, Kang-woo, is also among the crowd with a happy grin on his face.
Jae-yeol's attempts to field questions about the plagiarism scandal fail when one press member mentions that Pul-ip's publisher released a statement claiming that he plagiarized her book, along with the request that all copies of his book be pulled off store shelves.
Editor Bae assembles her team to deal with the situation, but they're unsure how to proceed-Jae-yeol is all for suing Pul-ip, but his buddy and editing team member TAE-YONG is suspiciously against the idea.
Things get extra tense when Jae-yeol shares his conviction thatsomeone in the inner circle sold Pul-ip his book file, since there's no way she could've remembered his book word for word even if he had recited it to her.
