This rekindling of feelings is immediately complicated by the return of David Yoon (played by Park Sung-hoon), Hae-in's old classmate from her studies abroad, who joins the Queens Group. He begins to get close to Hae-in, creating jealousy and tension. The episode culminates in a dramatic yet romantic scene where Hyun-woo prevents Hae-in from reading a text message from his family, and the two share an emotional moment as their long-lost romantic feelings are reignited. Hyun-woo also discovers some troubling evidence, adding a layer of mystery to the corporate world of Queens Group.
For the first time, the "Ice Queen" shows a crack in her armor. She begins to see Hyun-woo not just as a husband she argues with, but as her protector.
