Nadine admits she married Turner Group CEO Hank to pay her dying father's medical bills; she sold herself into a fake marriage after underground fights and scraping money. Later she confesses Hank never touched her: pressured by his mother, he allegedly drugged her to get pregnant with his friend's baby and used the marriage to secure inheritance. Fleeing the household, Nadine cries for help and her ex Shaun appears. Instead of rescuing her, Shaun accuses her and says, 'A good horse doesn't go back to the same pasture,' leaving Nadine's plea unanswered and their reunion unresolved.
Master Shaun wakes to find Nadine gone. His servant returns with women's clothes and urges Shaun to fetch her, even suggesting men seize her and expose her as his kept woman; Shaun refuses force, tells him to give the clothes to his daughter and says only the woman who dumped him must beg. Meanwhile, hospital staff summon Dr. Smith for a patient with massive gastric bleeding; Director Chaney is already at the table, and despite a meeting Dr. Smith agrees to operate. The episode ends with Shaun’s vow and the surgery about to start, both unresolved.
In the operating room Dr. Smith finds Irina's abdomen partly necrotic and recommends removing one-third. Irina's family objects and demands to see the surgeon. Hank—who once had a crush on Irina and is amid a divorce with Nadine—claims family status and interrupts the procedure. Nadine, who is performing the surgery, accuses Hank of abusing power and seeking revenge; others hurl accusations about past seduction while a friend pleads, "Save my friend now!" The heated confrontation stalls the operation, leaving Irina's survival and the next decision unresolved.
Miss Laurent bursts into the emergency room with Irina, who has a gunshot wound and is hemorrhaging. Bystanders plead with Dr. Smith to operate, but Director Chaney insists he will perform the surgery. Staff demand an immediate-family signature; a man steps forward saying, "I'll sign it," agrees to be responsible, and orders superiors contacted to keep police away while surgeons prepare. Simultaneously, staff ask to "look into the relationship status between Nadine and her husband, Hank Turner" and are told, "They're getting divorced?" The episode ends with surgery delayed pending legal confirmation.
Nadine, a young doctor rumored to be secretly married to Mr. Turner and divorcing, faces gossip that she seduced Mr. Turner's friend amid claims about intimate photos of Mr. Turner and Ms. Sutton. At the hospital her supervisors attack her work, order medical reports rewritten, and accuse her of using AI polish, while colleagues swarm the ward demanding answers. During a public hallway confrontation she tries to leave but is involved in a minor car collision; a staffer accuses her of staging it for attention. The episode ends with Nadine silent and the scandal unresolved, consequences looming.
Paparazzi swarm Nadine at her car, demanding an interview about a love triangle with Mr. Turner and Ms. Sutton; she refuses. Shaun Lloyd appears, announces himself, revokes the reporters' press cards and forces them to back off, warning he won't tolerate further harassment. Onlookers gossip that Shaun holds a grudge and once 'cut his teeth' in a lawless region. After he helps with the damaged car, he offers to pay; when she resists he insists, saying he'll pay "not only for my car, but also for me." The episode ends with Nadine forced to decide whether to accept his protection.
Nadine arrives at a clinic saying she 'might look safe and sound' but was in danger and injured. She demands a medical exam and compensation—physical and psychological—from Shaun, who grudgingly will pay car repairs only if she unblocks him; they exchange numbers. A flashback shows the Carian Hotel scene after five years with Hank and that she was bitten and needs a rabies shot. At the clinic Dr. Smith asks for her records as Nadine is flustered. The episode ends with someone saying, 'Nadine, you and Hank are getting divorced. Can't you give me a chance?' Nadine must decide.
At a hospital a drunken man barges in to Nadine, confesses he likes her, recalls a hotel near-miss and promises to marry her after she divorces Hank. Nadine orders him out; staff says security will ban him and his dogs. The man then shows Nadine's clean physical exam, says he checked the andrology department, and demands $400,000 for car repairs. Nadine refuses her husband's money. When he asks to sleep with her again, she fires back, "Wanna splash me? Do it." The confrontation ends unresolved as security moves in.
In a tense hospital scene, Nadine confronts Ms. Irina Sutton over a kidnapped doctor, paparazzi photos and a fake marriage to Hank—demanding she withdraws divorce papers. Irina says she’s done pretending after being drugged and sold by her husband, and refuses to follow orders. Medical staff interrupt: Dr. Chaney has removed a third of her stomach and warns they can’t keep saving her. Pressure escalates as ward patients and attendants are ordered to hold and slap Irina. Left restrained and struck in her bed, Irina’s health and scandalous choice remain unresolved, poised to explode next.
During a medical confrontation, Irina cries for Ms. Sutton as Nadine is accused of unethical surgery; Nadine answers a threat with a warning about her scalpel. Afterward Nadine's mother confronts her, refuses a divorce, and blackmails her: bear a child with Harry to help seize control of the Turner Group. Mom promises treatment for Nadine's father and $5 million, then threatens exposure of their nonexistent marriage and to unplug his oxygen. Nadine reluctantly agrees. Mom gives three months to conceive or will force artificial insemination. Hank's comment—father identity shouldn’t matter—leaves paternity and power in question.
