At the same time, Jeong-woo heads to his previous bedroom following a devastating talk with his mother. Simultaneously, in the living room of the house, Geum-hee has an emotional breakdown while remembering a past conversation with her deceased husband, Chang-soo. Geum-hee informs Chang-soo that she has no intention of moving away from the town, even after Jeong-woo received a 10-year sentence explaining that if they did, it would be admitting that Jeong woo really committed the crime.
The following day, Su-oh pays Jeong woo a visit. He delivers a painting to him and leaves. Jeong woo checks that the painting is that of a warehouse and immediately goes there. At the same time, on her way home, Geum-hee buys a new shirt for Jeong woon and then walks up onto the overpass bridge. A man chases Geum-hee and shoves her from the bridge.

The police are notified and Geum-hee is transported to the hospital. Hee-do tasks Sang-cheol with resolving the case. He wants to know if Sang cheol is the talent people often said he was or the wacko he was also accused of being. Min-soo who is a nurse at the hospital is surprised when he sees Geum-hee in the Emergency Room. The doctor requests Min-soo to attempt contacting Jeong-woo. Min-soo attempts to contact Jeong-woo via phone, but he fails to pick up the call. He attempts to contact Na-kyeom and lets her know about the accident involving Jeong-woo’s mother.
Simultaneously, Jeong-woo experiences a mental collapse in the warehouse, resulting in a fit. Remembering his high school days, he fondly looks back on his late friends Bo-young and Da-eun, asserting that he had not caused their deaths. Meanwhile, Heung-soo, Byeong-moo’s father, acts suspiciously as he arrives at the police station and accesses his son’s personal locker to retrieve an item.

Simultaneously, Jeong-woo and Byeon-moo’s dad, Heung-soo, take the bus together to go back home.
Heung-soo feels uncomfortable around Jeong-woo and opts to take a taxi to the restaurant instead. After finishing work, Min-soo discusses with Na-kyeom the state of Jeong-woo’s mother. At the police station, Byeon-moo begs Gu-tak to be involved in the investigation as his father Heung-soo is not directly accused, and Gu-tak agrees. Heung-soo is summoned for interrogation.
Byeon-moo informs Sang-cheol and the team that he is aware of his father’s whereabouts and leads them to the restaurant. Simultaneously, Bo-young’s parents, Dong-min and Jae-hee, along with Min-soo’s parents, Choo-ho and Jung-sook, are at the restaurant talking about Geum hee’s accident. Jeong-woo arrives and inquires if Dong-min had a role in his mother’s accident.

Later in the evening, Sang-cheol encounters Chief Gu-tak and discusses Byeon-moo’s connection to the case. Afterward, he interrogates Heung-soo and inquires about his role in Geum-hee’s accident. During the questioning, Heung-soo becomes anxious when Sang-cheol inquires about his connection to Geum-hee. When Heung-soo labels Jeong-woo as a criminal, Sang cheol surprisingly refers to him as a victim.
Upon reviewing the investigation documents of the dual murder case in Jeong-woo, Sang-cheol discovers that solving Geum-hee’s accident will pose challenges.

As they are leaving, Sang-cheol requests Jeong-woo to retrieve his mother’s possessions from the police station. At his house, Byeon-moo attempts to discuss the accident with his father, but he declines to engage in conversation and instead goes to bed. Upon returning home that evening, Jeong-woo fondly remembers the enjoyable moments he shared with his parents a decade ago.
The next day, a man takes his dog for a walk near the kitchen the next morning. The dog grabs a bone similar to a human bone, but the owner takes it away and tosses it. Gu-tak suggests bringing Jeong-woo to the police station. During the car ride, Jeong-woo inquires with Gu-tak about whether he located the corpses of Bo-young and Da-eun.
Gu-tak informs Jeong-woo that locating the bodies is a challenging task, as Jeong-woo exits the vehicle and proceeds to the station where he collects his mother’s belongings from Sang cheol who is cold towards him and doesn’t respond when he asks if he will still go on with the investigation.
Sang-cheol discovers that Byeon-moo and Jeong-woo were childhood buddies with a family connection. He also discovers that the victims in Jeong-woo’s case were friends with their parents too. Jeong-woo returns to the station and encounters Detective Kim Hee-do. He returns to his past and searches for his mother’s items.
Jeong-woo attempts to communicate with the store owner about Geum-hee’s last whereabouts, but the owner refuses to talk to him due to believing he is a killer.
