Gong Joo is back at the metro police station. Gyo Dong is glad to see him but he pretends not to be. Gong Joo points out that it is weird that Yoo Rae was able to come into this room when there is passcode lock on the door. Gyo Dong puts on a poker face.

Evening now. Yoo Rae is angry and drunk. She is back at the metro police station, asking the security to call out Gyo Dong for her. He is called out. We see this is not the first time she has done this and we see it was aways Gyo Dong who carried her in. He puts newspapers on her as a blanket, but when she sneezes, he takes off his coat and puts it on her. Yoo Rae talks in her sleep, angrily asking for Gyo Dong, and Gyo Dong breaks into a tiny smile.

The next morning, In the Han River police station reporter room, In Ha sees AND smells Yoo Rae, who can’t understand why she keeps ending up the metro police station when she is drunk.

Dal Po comes and wants to talk to In Ha but In Ha runs away again. He finds her in the hallway hiding. He tries to talk but she says she knows what he is going to say- how can he say that so easily, giving up on them so easily? Dal Po says he is not giving up and he is not lying anymore. He has learned after 14 years that happiness built on a lie will end. Dal Po says that from watching Beom Jo go through what he went through, he wondered if Beom Jo would have been happier not knowing about his mom. But he has learned that even if you try to hide or close your eyes, something that exists doesn’t disappear.

In Ha agrees- it was the same for her with her mom. Even if it hurts, you have to face the truth.

Dal Po says he will ask Grandpa and work hard to get his blessing. In Ha asks what if he doesn’t give it. Dal Po replies he will accept it then. To him, Grandpa is his dad who saved him, raised him, and let him meet In Ha and so, “Even if the world says yes, if Dad says no, I can’t.” In Ha cries as she says, “Yes, I know, but…” Dal Po hugs her and says, “Let’s give it a try.”



Dal Po and In Ha both go into Grandpa’s room. They start to talk but we aren’t shown what happens.

It’s now January 2015. It’s time to pick new rookies again at YGN. Hyun Gyu is reporting on this again and he and Jae Hwan are the same, bickering. Except, we find out, they are also now married to each other.

Dal Po and In Ha are getting ready for work, each at their respective homes, talking on the phone about both their networks interviewing applicants. Dal Po says he heard that Beom Jo is trying again for MSC. In Ha is worried about Beom Jo having to go on the mawari rounds again.

Dal Po picks up In Ha in his car and we learn that Dal Po is now reporting on legal news and In Ha specializes on economic news.

Dal Po is calling the applicants in when he sees someone who looks like his brother applying- Shin Jae Ha.

The applicants are asked what they will choose over the other- news that people want to see or news that people need to see. Shin Jae Ha replies by giving an example about someone given the news about getting concert tickets. The YGN people and Dal Po recognize this as what Dal Po said before so they ask Shin Jae Ha where he got this from. He reveals he learned it from a lecturer who told her students about hearing this one day and that it left a deep impression on her.

We see this lecturer is Cha Ok, teaching about news, properly now. None of the fact plus impact stuff.

At MSC, In Ha is also calling in the applicants. One the applicants recognizes In Ha as the country’s first Pinocchio journalist. She compliments In Ha on her looks and In Ha accepts it readily, saying she thinks it is sad her looks are going to waste while being a reporter. She overhears the applicant talking about how she heard In Ha got a journalism award as a PR move, not because she really deserved it.

In Ha is not going to let this pass. She demands to know if they have evidence that she got the award as a PR move- did they check that info? The applicant says she just heard everyone say it. Gong Joo, who overhears this, tells the applicant to go home. She didn’t even check the facts before deciding something was true.

Beom Jo is also there to be interviewed and so In Ha and Beom Jo meet. In Ha complains that Beom Jo only met with Dal Po in the past year but Beom Jo tells her that he asked Dal Po to bring her out every time; he just didn’t and came alone.

In Ha wants to give him a high-five in support and Beom Jo, even though he fears it, allows her to give him a high five. It is just a painful as it used to be.

While at Dal Po’s house to bring him food, Grandpa finds Dal Po’s wallet on the floor. He has left it at home again. Grandpa opens it to see the picture of Dal Po and In Ha with Chan Soo’s baby. Grandpa exclaims he didn’t think it could be possible, but looking at the picture, he sees it now. Dal Pyung agrees, saying In Ha and Dal Po look good together. He tells his dad that he is both proud and sad that In Ha and Dal Po gave up on being with each other to listen to Grandpa.

We see that Yoo Rae is the new ddanji to the rookies. Hyun Gyu is proud of his protege.

While in front of the court building preparing to report on something, Dal Po spots grandpa watching him. Grandpa has come to the court to void Dal Po’s adoption. Dal Po is shocked. Grandpa explains he wants to give back Dal Po his real name. He apologizes, saying he just cared about Dal Po too much. He says, “You can live as your own name now.” He asks Ha Myung to take care of In Ha. Ha Myung promises. Grandpa hugs and thanks him for living as his son- “Thank you, Ha Myung.” Dal Po replies, crying, “Thank you for raising me, Dad.”

Grandpa watches proudly as Dal Po reports. Ro Sa is servicing a prison sentence, not a suspended sentence with probation. In Ha reports that the Beom Jo Group is moving on without Ro Sa at its head or stockholder.

We see In Ha and Ha Myung trying on a wedding dress and tuxedo, respectively, with Grandpa and Dal Pyung also there, proud and happy for them.
