The episode, aired on the 23rd, featured Park Won-sook, Hye Eun-i, Hong Jin-hee, and Yoon Da-hoon as they continued their 'Living Together in Switzerland' journey.

Park Won-sook had a heartfelt reunion with her younger sister, who has been living abroad for nearly 40 years. The reunion took place in Switzerland, where her sister traveled from Norway to meet her.

Reflecting on her past, Park Won-sook recalled the time after their father's passing when she, as the eldest of six siblings, took on the role of the family breadwinner. She shared, "Even giving each sibling 1 million won required 5 million won," highlighting the financial burden she carried.

Later, the group ascended to the summit of Mount Titlis in the Alps, standing at over 3,000 meters. Known as the 'Jewel of the Swiss Crown,' this mountain offers year-round views of glaciers at an elevation of 3,062 meters. Park Won-sook remarked, "It feels like my lungs are being cleansed," as they took in the breathtaking scenery and fresh air.

After their meal, Hye Eun-i, Hong Jin-hee, and Yoon Da-hoon decided to try the Ice Flyer, a lift ride activity, while Park Won-sook, dealing with back pain, chose to rest.

While waiting, Park Won-sook built a snowman, symbolizing her desire to protect her siblings. As she gazed at the snowman, she reflected, "Being in a place with such fresh air brings up feelings of resentment and pain. I want to leave it all behind in this beautiful place," she said, tearing up.

Through tears, Park Won-sook confessed, "I feel like I have a lot to explain about myself. I've endured a lot. I feel a sense of resentment because I didn't receive any help during my difficult times. It was so hard." She continued, "When I meet my siblings, who live far away, the underlying feelings of disappointment resurface. I want to tell them, 'I'm struggling.'" She also expressed gratitude for her siblings on the show, saying, "I'm thankful for how they embrace me. It makes me want to be playful with them."
