With nothing left in her life, Eun Kang hatches a little scheme of her own involving Ba Da\u2019s in-laws, whom she\u2019s been on good terms with for longer than Ba Da has, only for it to backfire on her. Ba Da, on the other hand, trusts the false version of Eun Kang enough to share all her secrets, but her faith later comes back to haunt her. Eun Kang\u2019s long-concealed desire finally begins to crystallize.
