As the accused are hauled away, Nora apologizes for ruining the event and says she only meant to surprise him but failed. Mr. Moore asks, "You wanted to surprise me?" leaving Nora's intent and the punishments unresolved.
At a corporate banquet, guests mock Nora Carson when they realize she is Mrs. Moore. Mr. Moore stops them, publicly declares 'You're my wife,' and threatens anyone who offended her with expulsion and a company blacklist. Security hauls the offenders out while one guest pleads that their father will punish them. After the expulsions, Mr. Moore orders Nora to change and announces a surprise; staff present a custom-made dress. Nora is led away to prepare, the room unsettled, and the announced surprise now hangs over the blacklisted families as the next moment approaches.
At a banquet arranged by Perry and Mr. Moore, Nora is made up and presented as Mrs. Moore. Guests admire her and expect a public proposal to the real Mrs. Moore. Conversation exposes that plan, then the proposer reverses course, declaring, "In fact, you're the one I'm proposing to." The announcement stops the celebration and shifts every eye onto Nora. Reactions ripple through the room as she stands stunned; the episode ends with Nora unexpectedly confronted by a public proposal and the immediate, unresolved choice of how she will respond.
At a surprise banquet Perry has long planned, a string of reveals threatens to collapse the moment when he almost ruins the surprise. Guests announce that Mr. Moore commissioned Nora's gown, ring, and turned the Moores' family token into a necklace for her. Nora's mother breaks down; relatives ask if Nora refuses. Nora answers, "I'll marry you." Perry promises to treat her well. After guests urge her to rest, Nora discovers another unexpected present—likely from Grandma—which fits the occasion but leaves an unsettled question about who arranged the final touch.
The Moore household mobilizes when an elder declares a plan to bring new life and vows to handle the matter at the crucial moment. Mrs. Moore Sr. asserts the family will be full of life very soon, but Nora refuses, saying she is not ready and pointing to a birth scar from delivering Joy. A family member admits, "I've made you suffer," and pledges to treat Nora better, turning apology into renewed pressure. The promise complicates rather than resolves the conflict, and Nora's decision about the family's plan remains unresolved at episode's end.
Morning starts at the workplace with light banter about Perry, and a tired employee being told they're up early. A coworker lets them off, then announces they are finalizing their marriage. Colleagues press for details; someone asks when they'll bring Nora to meet 'her.' The announcement flips the day from routine to personal exposure among coworkers, and the person who announced the marriage is confronted by a name no one recognizes. The episode ends on the speaker's confusion: "Her? Who's that?"
At a family gathering a discussion about timing and meetings reveals that 'the lady of the Moore family' is the person Perry values most.

When asked, "Is it a woman?" the answer is "Yes." The wife suddenly feels unwell and withdraws. A guest observes that Perry cares deeply for that woman, and the wife resolves not to force him — while Nora's imminent meeting leaves the marriage unsettled.
Nora urgently confronts Joe, shouting "My mom is dying!" He rebuffs her, says it doesn't concern him and threatens to call the cops if she keeps harassing him. Nora begs him to listen: she’s been diagnosed with lymphoma and a fortune teller said the illness is retribution that requires atonement. She confesses Joe is the person she wronged most and pleads for his help. She then reveals the tangible stake—the gold jewelry her mother left for her is still in Joe’s possession. The episode closes with Joe forced to decide whether to return the jewelry and answer her plea.
