Hyo-ri drives her drunk mother home after another get-together. Tired and angry, Hyo-ri says she'll never live like her. Ji-an needs to pay Hyo-ri's tuition, but her acquaintance hasn't repaid the 30,000 dollars she owes. As the tuition deadline approaches, Ji-an calls Hyo-ri's university to confirm the date, but she hears something she didn't expect.

Yeo-jeong asks Ji-an to help her reconnect with Jeong-seok and Bo-hyeon, which puts Ji-an in a difficult position. Ji-an decides to give up on Jeong-seok on one condition - that Yeo-jeong properly apologise for what she did to Jeong-seok in Germany. Meanwhile, Suk comes to visit Hyo-ri in Cheonghae and has it out with So-yeon once and for all.

Tae-oh goes to see his mom, thanks to Seon-yeong's help, and he finds out what his mom's been hiding from him. Hyo-ri goes on an overnight trip with Bo-hyeon, and so do Ji-an and Jeong-seok. After the mother and daughter's happy trips, Ji-an receives news that Hyo-ri's surgery has been moved up, and she hopes her daughter's surgery will bring them spring again.
