In the latest episode of ENA's 'Salon de Holmes' aired on the 7th, viewers were left on the edge of their seats as So-hee, played by Kim Da-som, becomes the next target and is kidnapped by the villain 'Jwibangeul'. The episode also revealed the shocking identity of 'Jwibangeul' as Tae-hoon, the model student son of the neighborhood association president, played by Jang Jae-ho.
Gong Mi-ri (Lee Si-young), Choo Kyung-ja (Jung Young-joo), and Jeon Ji-hyun (Nam Gi-ae) uncover that the building representative (Son Sung-ho) is the pervert who appears around the apartment complex on rainy nights. However, they argue that he might not be 'Jwibangeul', despite the neighborhood association president's (Park Ji-a) denial, citing property values. Meanwhile, they grow suspicious of the sudden disappearance of resident Kang Yoon-joo (Lee Hwa-kyum) from unit 902. So-hee witnesses 'Jwibangeul' emerging from unit 902, making her his target. The brutal killing of a stray cat she cared for adds to the chilling atmosphere.
The body of the missing resident Kang Yoon-joo is discovered, escalating the tension further. At the scene, the knotting technique of the serial killer and sex offender 'Ribbon Man', who murdered Mi-ri's friend Ji-eun in the past, is found, raising questions about whether the killer is the long-absent Ribbon Man or a copycat.
Amidst this, So-hee, the youngest of the four, is kidnapped by 'Jwibangeul'. Upon regaining consciousness, she finds herself face-to-face with Tae-hoon, who reveals himself as 'Jwibangeul' and threatens to kill her. So-hee resists, declaring, "Even if it's not for others, I can't die. I won't die. I'm a mother," but ultimately loses consciousness at the hands of Tae-hoon, who holds a red ribbon.
Mi-ri, learning that So-hee is raising her sick son Yul alone, senses something is amiss when she loses contact with So-hee, especially as Yul's condition worsens, requiring surgery. Following So-hee's trail, Mi-ri discovers traces of her at Tae-hoon's hideout in unit 405, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
