At 11 PM an anxious woman meets her boss after a morning incident, terrified he'll discover she secretly likes him. She insists it's only admiration and asks to meet the grandmother, saying they're not close despite the grandmother now forcing a marriage. When someone accuses her of using the grandmother to climb up, the boss rejects manipulation and tells her he'll "clean up your mess" by offering marriage as a practical fix. He demands they go to the Civil Affairs bureau tomorrow morning to register. The episode ends with both agreeing—"I'll wait for you"—leaving the commitment unresolved.
