After completing their initial dates, the singles gathered in the common living room. Jeong-sook expressed interest in Young-chul, saying, "I thought you might be emotionally volatile, but you seem responsible and genuine." Meanwhile, Young-soo, who was not chosen by Young-ja and had to eat alone, admitted, "I'm completely confused right now." Sang-chul showed interest in Soon-ja during a private conversation, but Soon-ja later revealed in an interview that she still preferred Young-chul, describing him as more of a romantic. She added that she didn't choose Young-soo, her initial pick, just to play hard to get.
While Young-ho was away for an interview, Young-sook approached Kwang-soo, expressing that she had added him to her list of interests after hearing his introduction. Ok-soon also pulled Young-chul aside to ask if there was a difference in meaning between being called first or second for a one-on-one date. Young-chul, caught off guard, said he needed time to think before answering, which frustrated Ok-soon.
Young-soo showed his gentlemanly side by bringing a blanket to Ok-soon, who was waiting in the cold for Young-chul's response. When Young-chul finally spoke to Ok-soon, he gently suggested she explore other options, leaving her disappointed. Young-chul, feeling uneasy, took a walk to clear his mind.
Young-ho, in front of Young-soo, asked Young-ja for a conversation, directly inquiring if she was interested in him. Young-ja replied that she initially was but realized she wasn't his type. Young-ho asked if her feelings might change with more effort from him, but Young-ja admitted her strong interest in Young-sik.
The next morning, Young-soo borrowed sunscreen from Soon-ja and ran into Young-ja, his top choice, but chose to talk with Soon-ja outside. He confessed to Soon-ja that he felt comfortable with one person but was more intrigued by another, revealing Young-ja as his top choice. Meanwhile, Young-ja told Young-sik she would choose Young-soo for a second date. After talking with Soon-ja, Young-soo returned to Young-ja but was called away by Ok-soon.
Ok-soon thanked Young-soo for the blanket, to which he replied it was because she felt like a younger sister. Ok-soon boldly asked if he could see her differently, leaving Young-soo confused. Young-sook, feeling neglected by her initial pick Young-soo, gave Young-ho a recovery drink, noting his tiredness.
Later, the contestants gathered for a new round of date selections. This time, the men chose daytime dates, and the women chose nighttime dates simultaneously. Young-soo surprised everyone by choosing Soon-ja over his top choice, Young-ja. Young-ho also shocked by picking Hyun-sook instead of Young-sook, who felt "betrayed" after gifting him a recovery drink.
In contrast, Young-sik went straight to Young-ja as expected, and Young-chul chose Soon-ja, leading to a 2:1 date with Young-soo. Kwang-soo picked Ok-soon, and Sang-chul chose Young-sook, leaving Jeong-sook without a date. The preview hinted at Young-sook's anger over Young-ho's choice and a tense date between Young-sik and Young-ja, contrasting their previous laughter-filled encounter.
