In a gripping episode of ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Salon de Holmes' aired on June 30, viewers were on the edge of their seats as Gong Mi-ri (played by Lee Si-young), Choo Kyung-ja (played by Jung Young-joo), and Jeon Ji-hyun (played by Nam Gi-ae) joined forces to rescue convenience store worker Hye-jung (played by Lim So-yoon) from the clutches of a stalker villain (played by Lee Si-hoo).
Mi-ri discovered a distress signal in the returned delivery dishes from Won-seok's house, leading her to believe Hye-jung was being held captive. Together with Kyung-ja and Ji-hyun, they infiltrated Won-seok's home to gather crucial evidence to involve the police. Their combined efforts, with Mi-ri's strategic planning, Ji-hyun's acting skills, and Kyung-ja's physical prowess, successfully led to Hye-jung's rescue.
Particularly noteworthy was Kyung-ja's display of her 'former ace detective' skills as she confronted Won-seok, preventing his escape. The intense fight in the apartment hallway and the ensuing chase showcased Kyung-ja's thrilling action sequences.
Despite the 'Gwangseon Apartment Women's Detective Team' aiding in capturing the stalker villain, other threats continued to loom over the residents. A mysterious figure in a black hoodie repeatedly appeared, and another person in dark clothing seemed to intrude into resident Kang Yoon-joo's (played by Lee Hwa-gyeom) home, heightening the tension. The chilling scene of a bloodied Yoon-joo being moved to a bathtub added to the horror.
Additionally, attention was drawn to an incident involving the abusive apartment representative Byun Hak-do (played by Son Seong-ho), which resulted in security guard Kim Hyun-deok (played by Kim Jeong-ho) getting injured. Hak-do had been unfairly assigning personal tasks to the guards, and Hyun-deok suffered head and neck injuries while moving a sofa for Hak-do. In a shocking twist, Hak-do visited the hospitalized Hyun-deok, displaying audacity that sparked outrage.
It was revealed that Hyun-deok and new security guard Kim Kwang-gyu (played by Lee Jae-kyun) shared a past as teacher and student, with Hyun-deok having prevented Kwang-gyu's expulsion. The tension escalated as Kwang-gyu's expression turned ominous upon learning that Hyun-deok's accident was due to Hak-do.
The episode also unveiled a poignant secret about Park So-hee (played by Kim Da-som), the youngest member of the detective team. It was revealed that So-hee has a sick child, explaining her relentless work schedule to care for her child, evoking sympathy from the audience.
