In this episode, the process of Gong Ji-hyuk and Go Da-rim confirming each other's true feelings and strengthening their bond was portrayed. Go Da-rim submitted her resignation letter to Gong Ji-hyuk due to guilt over her fraudulent employment, but Gong Ji-hyuk recognized the achievements of the Mother TF team and Go Da-rim's efforts, rejecting her resignation. Encouraged, Go Da-rim honestly confessed her secret and her relationship with Gong Ji-hyuk to her team members, receiving heartfelt support as she dedicated herself to developing a new product.
The two spent happy moments confirming their deep affection for each other.

However, happiness was short-lived as a thunderous crisis struck the Mother TF team.
