By chance, Hyun-jin overhears a conversation about the Eun-seok – Yoo-jeong case at the home of her former lover, Jun-hyeok, and is taken aback to realize that the case is far bigger than she had imagined.
Jun-hyeok is found dead, and Yoo-jeong claims that she killed him. Hyun-jin finds it hard to believe, so she tries to find out the truth behind Ra-young and Shin-jae. Hyun-jin meets Seon-hwa, hoping she’d share some information about Jun-hyeok. Meanwhile, Ra-young comes home, only to be attacked by a mysterious man.
