Catching Up: Where We Left Off

The previous episode ended on a gut-punch: Tae Joo discovered the body of Ha Jung Soo, the man who’d tried to kill Kim Kyung Ae by injecting her with a lethal substance after she uncovered his father-in-law Go Dong Chan’s illegal fetal stem cell project.

What the New Stills Reveal

Fresh images show Tae Joo arriving at We Together Hospital with police and Team Leader Jang Do Sik, hoping to finally connect the dots between Ha Jung Soo, Kim Kyung Ae, and Go Dong Chan.

Even more suspicious: Se Yoon is caught secretly searching through her father’s study at night, rifling through documents before he suddenly turns and catches her — leaving her visibly unsettled as she walks away. It’s a strong hint that Se Yoon herself now suspects her own father may be behind her abduction.

Meanwhile, Kim Kyung Ae has woken up from surgery and appears startled by someone in the room — setting up a potential confession that could blow the whole case wide open.
