Joo-eun asks if Ji-woong is John Kim, holding up the ID badge she found triumphantly. He looks confused, but Young-ho shows up to say that she has, in fact, found John Kim. He waves Ji-woong and Joon-sung inside (as they try to warn him telepathically not to do this), and pulls Joo-eun inside to talk.

HAHA, he's got his hand over her mouth to stop her blabbing the name John Kim again, and she actually licks him to get him to let go. He warns her not to give away John Kim's secret (with his soggy hand on her shoulder, hee) or her coming here will be meaningless. When she asks how he knows what she's here for, he gives her the once-over and says it's obvious — but she stops him from saying it and goes looking for Ji-woong again, still thinking he's John Kim.

All three men sit looking guilty while Joo-eun explains how she figured out their secret. Ji-woong mentioned the woman on the Stella Show, and he's a trainer. Not to mention, he's clearly Korean-American, which would warrant having an American name. She would be sure based on that evidence, but their triple guilty expressions confirm her hunch.

Young-ho becomes amused when she mentions her best friend's ex being the host of a celebrity news show, and asks if she's threatening to out them. She says she's not NOT threatening them, but whatever works. Ha.

Ji-woong finally gets a word in edgewise and insists that he's not John Kim, but Joon-sung grabs him by the head and yanks him out of the room. Young-ho says that he's sure that "John Kim" knows she wants a makeover, and offers to talk.

Later the three men huddle in the bathtub, where Ji-woong holds his arms in the air as punishment for being so nice to her and dragging them into this situation. Poor Ji-woong is so flustered he keeps forgetting what language he's speaking, switching from Korean to English and back.

Meanwhile Joo-eun is in the main room, happy-dancing her good fortune. She imagines herself the next success on the Stella Show , while Woo-shik cries in the audience to see her svelte and gorgeous, and Soo-jin storms off the set.

The men decide Joo-eun is too tenacious to ever let this go, and come up with a plan — Ji-woong will pretend to be John Kim, allowing Young-ho to preserve his identity. Young-ho claims to be the team doctor, and says that he'll be in charge of things since John Kim's Korean isn't that good, HAHA. Ji-woong even starts babbling in English just to "prove" it.

Joon-sung doesn't look happy that she even looked him up and knows who he is, but Young-ho smiles and says that from now on, the three of them are her team. Joo-eun is thrilled, while the guys try really hard to look thrilled.

Joo-eun floats home on Cloud Nine, and finishes her delivery food as a last supper. Hyun-woo calls her and laughs at the idea, and Joo-eun can't tell her about her arrangement with the guys, so says to wait and see — she's had a chance at redemption.

Young-ho and Joon-sung spar, with Young-ho easily winning. Manager Min calls Young-ho to warn him that his villa is ready, and he's expected to move in this afternoon. Wow, for a "villa," that place is huge.

Joo-eun starts her day by reducing the amount of sugar in her coffee, prompting her secretary to ask if she's sick. Joo-eun cryptically asks if she's heard of John Kim, and giggles when her secretary admits to being a fan, too.

Soo-jin gets a massage (during work hours? Aren't you the same woman who just chided Joo-eun for leaving work on her half-day?). The masseuse compliments her on her great skin and calls her a natural beauty, but Soo-jin doesn't look happy and says that really, she's not. Woo-shik comes to escort her back to work, and she admits to liking his chivalry and wanting to keep him for herself.
