In the start of Episode 7, So-ra is dismissed from her job. Even though she expresses her concerns to Woo-jin hinting that they’re the same due to falling in love with Eun kyung and Ji sang, he informs her that they are both different since she acted on her instinct and broke the company’s rules by damaging its reputation and attacking its partners, who are him and Eun kyung. Embarrassed, she gathers her belongings and departs from the company. In a quick flashback, we discover that it was Woo-jin who encouraged Eun-kyung to dismiss Sa-ra due to her behavior.
Nevertheless, during her stroll with Eun ho as they talk regarding So ra’s termination, Yu ri is shocked to discover that Woo Jin is actually the CEOs nephew when Eun ho points out that So Ra deserved to be fired for going against someone high up as him. Yu ri is embarrassed recalling her harsh words to him when he was accused of being Eun kyung’s office husband. Upon arriving at the company, she is taken aback by the unexpected arrival of her father’s lover. Eun ho is quick to notice her disapproval of the woman.
The woman encounters Eun-kyung, showing her a written document from Yu-ri’s dad pledging to give his house to her. Nevertheless, the document lacks legal validity. The mistress warns she will reveal Yu-ri’s workplace protest against her father’s affair, leading to the mistress getting fired. Revealing this information could damage Yu ri’s professional reputation and lead to her losing her job.
After discovering that Yu-ri’s father was her client during their divorce case, Eun-kyung pays a visit to Yu-ri’s mother. She also finds out that despite Eun-kyung’s advice against it due to the invalid house deed, Yu-ri’s mother had already given the mistress a large amount of three hundred thousand dollars. Yu-ri’s mother stresses that she did it for the benefit of her daughter.
Having a conversation with Yu-ri’s mother resonates with Eun-kyung, especially given the current circumstances she is going through. Yu ri and her mother argue about her dating life and plans to start a family. When Yu ri’s mother mentions passing on her recipe to So Ra, Yu ri can’t resist spilling the beans that So Ra is having an affair with her boss’s husband, much to her mother’s surprise.
The following day, Eun-kyung prepares breakfast for Jae-hee, who appreciates her gesture but suggests adding cheese in the future, similar to how her father used to do. Afterwards, Eun-kyung delivers snacks to her classmates at the academy, continuing to melt Jae-hee’s heart despite her expectation for Eun-kyung to visit in person instead. Nevertheless, she is content.
However, Choi Sa-ra’s life is far from perfect. Her confidence in her relationship with Ji-sang is waning as she faces the added stress of being unemployed. Even though Ji-sang objected to her visit to his new home because he was worried about his family’s disapproval and potentially losing custody of his daughter, Choi Sa-ra went ahead and did it. During the heated argument, Ji-sang emphasizes that he has no plans to marry again and that Jae-hee is his main focus, not Sa-ra. Their connection appears to be even more turbulent than a roller coaster.
In another location, Yu-ri’s stepmother comes to see Yu-ri’s mother and repeats her threat. This causes Yu-ri’s mother to seek advice from Eun-kyung, presenting proof of the money she gave to the mistress and their phone conversations being recorded. Despite the awkwardness of their conversation, Yu-ri’s mother reassures Eun-kyung that her actions towards her ex-husband were solely for the sake of Yu-ri, emphasizing the importance of having a father figure in her life despite parental conflicts.
Afterward, Yu-ri’s mother forces her to go on a blind date. Her companion is traditional and they don’t have a connection. All of a sudden, she realizes she longs for Eun ho’s presence. At the same time, Eun ho is taking his affectionate parents out for a meal at the same fancy restaurant. His parents inquire about his girlfriend and he admits he has no plans to introduce her to them. He’s just about to go to the bathroom when he runs into Yu ri as she’s coming out from her date. Based on how unreceptive he is to the blind date, Eun ho’s mother knew it was the same girl he had mentioned.
Afterwards, it starts raining and Eun ho takes Yu ri to a different restaurant to eat together. He jokingly points out that she has time to go on a date, but not with him. Yu ri clarifies the confusion, stating she is simply following her mother’s orders, while Eun ho points out that he does the opposite. He mentions his parents’ enduring love for each other and expresses a desire to do something special for them following their attendance at a wedding.
Yu ri is eager to leave Eun ho after dinner, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he maintains his insistence on accompanying her to a taxi. Eun ho inquires about the identity of the woman she encountered at the company. Yu ri discloses she is her father’s lover and expresses her displeasure towards Eun kyung for accepting her case without clear confirmation. After Yu ri gets into a taxi, they go their separate ways. Considering Eun ho’s bond with his parents in hindsight, Yu-ri acknowledges she has never shown such care towards her own mother.
On that evening, Jae-hee anticipates Eun-kyung’s arrival, and surprisingly, she returns home sooner than usual. The mother and her daughter are filled with excitement as they discuss Eun kyung distributing food to her classmates. For the very first time, she was thrilled to announce to everyone that she is her mother. Jae-hee is also more open to expressing her emotions, asking her mother to come see her in person next time. The following day, Eun kyung makes breakfast for Jae hee in the same way as her father would, which moves Jae hee so deeply that she is speechless. Recalling the advice from Yu-ri’s mother, Eun kyung is hesitant to do anything that could harm her daughter’s bond with her father.
The following day, the mistress came back to ask why Eun-kyung didn’t dismiss Yu-ri. Eun-kyung warns her with proof obtained from Yu-ri’s mother and coldly dismisses her from her presence, gaining more favor from Yu-ri. Yu-ri apologizes afterwards for assuming that Eun-kyung would represent the mistress as her client and for telling her step mother off like she always wanted to. Eun-kyung admits her role in Yu-ri’s parents’ divorce, but Yu-ri expresses gratitude for assisting her mother to end the loveless marriage.
Later on, Yu-ri takes her mother out for a lavish meal, both grateful that Yu-ri’s father’s mistress is no longer a presence in their lives.
The scene concludes with Eun-kyung crying heavily as Ji-sang makes her feel guilty for not being present as a mother, while Sa-ra is happy to find out she is pregnant!
Now that So ra’s pregnant, a lot of things will happen. She will be able to manipulate Ji sang into doing what she wants, thereby causing chaos. I’m living for the relationship between Eun kyung and her daughter. I just hope that Eun kyung would be able to keep up with it and not let Jae hee down but I think she will as she absolutely adores Jae hee. I hope Yu ri will finally open up her heart to Eun ho. She likes him. She just doesn’t know it yet. Anyway, what do you all think about this episode?
