Dae Ki then reveals to Sara that he is the one who had received an organ donation from her while she was in prison, and that is the reason he comes to work at Solution. In the meantime, Gi Jun, feeling sad because he thinks Sara likes Dae Ki, goes out drinking to drown his sorrows. Sara calls him, but he makes excuses for being busy. The next day, he goes to the office and sees Dae Ki and Sara being close, which makes him even more jealous.

Yul Seong comes up with an idea and discusses with his mother that they need to find a way to change the election system from party members to a public vote, and to use tricks to gain public support.

He uses it to threaten her, but this time not for a divorce but to force her to obediently follow his plan. he also promises to help her dad. Ji In calls Sara but has to hang up immediately because Yul Seong takes her with him to an election rally.

He orchestrates a surprise attack on Ji In and then steps in to protect her, getting injured in the process. This act wins him public support for being a brave man who protects his wife, even when her father is a criminal.

Sara and Gi Jun go to the hospital to confront him and demand justice for Ji In, but this time Ji In says she no longer wants a divorce and will stay with Yul Seong.

Sara feels that something is wrong, but Gi Jun says that if Ji In has made up her mind like that, they should let her decide for herself. Sara invites Gi Jun for a drink, but he declines, and she leaves disheartened to go home. Meanwhile, Ji In has managed to get the nanny of Seo Yeon to send her pictures of Sara's son every month.

Meanwhile, Yul Seong turns against Ji In and declares to the entire country that he will not assist in exonerating his father-in-law and will prevent him from being released on bail. This angers Ji In, leading her to leave the television station. Kang Bom and Dae Ki, watching from outside, inform Sara and Gi Jun. Sara thinks this is the perfect time for them to help Ji In divorce Yul Seong. They attend his election campaign rally, and Sara exposes the schemes he has employed against his wives. Although Yul Seong quickly has his men remove them, what Sara says is recorded and shared on social media. Yul Seong goes to Solution to meet Sara and threatens her for tarnishing his image. Sara dares him to sue because it would reveal his kidnapping of Sara and his plan to kidnap Ji In. He demands she participate in an interview to deny the allegations.

Yul Seong then threatens Sara with Seo Yeon, at which point Gi Jun barges in and forces Yul Seong to leave. Later, Sara meets with Ji In and urges her to leave Yul Seong. However, Ji In hesitates because Yul Seong holds leverage over her. Sara mentions there is still a way to liberate Ji In. The next day, at a press conference, Yul Seong tries to clear the rumors and makes Ji In speak to verify his claims. Instead, she confirms everything Sara said was true, including his kidnapping and threats towards Ji In. This causes Yul Seong to be disgraced in front of the press and on live television, leading to a sharp decline in his poll numbers. The next day, Gi Jun meets with Professor Seo Woong Jin's assistant, Choi Hong Jin. Professor Seo was supervising Yoo Mi's thesis and was the last person to speak with her on the phone before she died. Hong Jin mentioned that Professor Seo was shocked to hear about Yoo Mi's accident, but not to the extent that he would attempt suicide over it. Later, Gi Jun visits Yoo Mi's grandfather, where he learns that Yoo Mi had a second phone. Gi Jun brings the phone back to Solution, and Dae Ki manages to unlock it. It turns out to be the secret phone Yoo Mi used to contact Yul Seong, filled with pictures of her with Yul Seong. Meanwhile, Yul Seong's party completely loses the election following his scandal with his two wives. Furious, Yul Seong calls Sara to a building scheduled for demolition to negotiate visiting rights for Seo Yeon, offering 500,000 won if she withdraws from the lawsuit. Sara flatly refuses. Yul Seong then pushes Sara down and starts choking her. However, his assistant stops him, and they leave, locking Sara inside. Fortuitously, lightning strikes the building's antenna, and the building catches fire. Fortunately, Gi Jun arrives in time to rescue Sara.
