At a wedding reception, guests call to "Cut the cake now," but an unresolved fight erupts. A woman who says she loved Scott for five years announces she will "set you free" and stop pursuing him. Tension spikes when someone warns, "If you ever force my mom to do such pointless things again, I'll divorce you." The speaker then accuses the other woman of forcing Scott to marry her five years ago and keeping him away. She confronts her publicly and demands, "Can you give me back my fiancé?" The episode ends on that explosive, unanswered demand.
At a family gathering Joyce erupts, demanding her fiancé back and calling Tina, the Charles family's illegitimate daughter, an intruder. Joyce insists Scott is her husband; Tina pushes back, admitting she once forced Scott to marry her to keep him out of prison and says she can never let Scott know the truth. When Joyce escalates, Tina pulls a knife and forces Scott to answer who he loves; under pressure he blurts, "It's you." Joyce then asks if he ever loved her in five years; he says "Never," and Joyce storms out, leaving Tina's secret intact.
Joyce collapses and family rushes her to the hospital. In the ER, Scott pleads while a doctor announces the baby is gone and Joyce may have trouble conceiving again. Mom tells Yulia to look after Joyce and reassures her she'll always be the daughter-in-law, while Tina is taken to the hospital. Scott swings between 'I can't live without you' and resignation. Joyce is discharged but devastated. The episode closes with Scott's earlier vow, if anything happens to Joyce or the baby, the Charles family will pay, leaving a dangerous promise unresolved.
When Scott returns, his wife greets him and immediately demands the point. She reveals their pregnancy is gone and says she no longer cares for the child, accusing Scott of taking advantage of her while she was drunk two months earlier. She insists the fetus exists only because of his actions and rejects it. In a decisive turn she pushes divorce papers at him: "Sign this. Let's get a divorce." The episode closes on that confrontation, the accusation lodged and the divorce papers presented, leaving Scott's answer—and the couple's fate—unresolved.
When Joyce's spouse opens the episode by saying, 'Let's get a divorce,' Joyce accuses him of a trick. He confesses he was wrong five years ago, admitting he tore Joyce and another person apart and took advantage of her, then says he regrets it. Joyce insists she has dignity and refuses to be humiliated. He taunts that nobody will want her after leaving him and orders her never to appear before him again. Joyce replies, 'Don't worry,' and vows to disappear — leaving onlookers asking, 'What's up with Joyce today?'
A man reacts in disbelief when Joyce moves to divorce him, insisting "she would never leave me." He returns home to a chilly welcome, refuses dinner and sleeps in the study while his partner accuses him of pretending virtue. Another woman concedes, "He gave me his answer from the very beginning; I was just deceiving myself," signaling acceptance of the break. Household staff tell "Miss" most of her things are moved and are ordered to take down and burn the wedding photo. The episode ends with that photo slated for destruction, a concrete, unresolved break.
Episode opens with the command to burn it all, then a woman learns the baby is gone and is warned she may have difficulty conceiving again. She confronts Scott and asks if, in five years, he has ever loved her. He replies that he never did and tells her to go to hell. She calls her love pathetic and recalls a childhood promise to marry. After the bitter confrontation she makes a decisive choice: she will grant Scott's wish, set him free, and stop bothering him. The episode closes on that rupture, leaving their relationship and future unresolved.
Back at home, a man (addressed as "Sir") asks housekeeper Willa where his wife, Joyce, has gone; Willa says Joyce has been away for days. He notices his favorite wedding photo is missing and feels sickened. Willa then reports the essential oil he always uses—made by Joyce—has also vanished. They realize Joyce intentionally removed these intimate items to force him to see her. He registers the provocation and, saying, "Fine. Good for her," accepts the tactic for now, leaving his next move and their reunion unresolved.
A morning delivery at Mr. Shaw's office starts the episode: a server brings his coffee and reveals the usual cup was sent by Joyce, not Mrs. Shaw. Staff say Mr. Shaw told them not to accept Mrs. Shaw's gifts, but another worker quietly asks them not to tell him and urges trying the coffee. A brief confrontation follows—'Get out'—and someone later accuses Joyce of trying to control their life. The mood flips when Scott is told, 'Joyce's missing... Go find her!' The episode ends with Scott forced into an urgent search for Joyce.
A woman's bloated body is found by the sea and Mrs. Shaw has been missing for a week, prompting gossip that sparks the episode's conflict. Mr. Shaw angrily confronts Joyce, accusing her of faking the disappearance; Joyce denies paying anyone and says her husband on the rescue team confirmed an unidentified body was recovered. Mr. Shaw orders everyone out of the Shaw Group. Meanwhile, friends tell Scott Joyce sent a divorce message; Tina insists she's married, and Joyce taunts Scott by staying with Tina and vows, "This time, you can't take Scott away again."
