Ae-ran is struck by her husband’s harsh words about her alleged anti-trust insolence in suing Eul-bun for defamation and flees a confrontation. This leaves Sung-han alone with Byeong-cheol, who is only irritated by the provocations of his wife’s abuse and the lies he has told about owning his building. It’s then Attorney Shin’s turn to be upset, with the divorce specialist feeling frustrated at the prospect of Yu-seok being involved in the upcoming trial.

First, the cleaner is claimed to earn a share of Byeong-cheol’s property, which complements her attorney’s denial of the idea that the property was gifted to Eul-bun. “The claim that he gave away the building protected by their (Ae-ran’s) sacrifices is simply unacceptable,” says Sung-han, before the discussion unraveled into a brittle discussion of mental health.

At this point, Ae-ran confesses to the intermediaries that she hit Eul-bun, although she rationalizes this by claiming she acted out of anger and still wants a share of the property. This revelation drives Byeong-cheol to return the good deed as, in addition to a notarized copy, he shares a record proving that he is the actual owner of the building that currently bears his mother’s name.

After preparing dinner for her mother-in-law, a crying Ae-ran begs for forgiveness. “Thanks to you, I’ve had the luxury of growing old with warm food and an apartment.” says a sincere owl-bun in a surprising reply, before showing emotional gratitude to the family’s breadwinner.

Also, we soon find out that the divorce suit has been withdrawn.
