Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok start to piece together the connection between Baek Joon-beom and Lee Soo-ho (played by Kim Dong-jun), who volunteered together in Syria. However, their investigation hits a snag when Lee Kwang-jin (played by Do Kyun), the team leader of the relief organization who knows about their relationship, falls into a coma due to a car accident.

An anonymous package delivered to Han Seol-ah provides another clue linking Baek Joon-beom and Lee Soo-ho. The package contains a purple bouquet, a signature of her former lover, a phone with a message from Lee Soo-ho saying, "You killed me," and a birthday card written with the left hand, reminding her of Baek Joon-beom, who is left-handed.

Han Seol-ah confides in Cha Woo-seok, who sets a trap to lure the real culprit by taking out a life insurance policy with Han Seol-ah as the beneficiary, just as her past lovers did. He reassures her by sharing the story of his deceased sister and his reasons for being involved in the case.

Sharing a common bond of having lost loved ones, Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok develop a deep trust. Cha Woo-seok, drawn by Han Seol-ah's concern, kisses her, and she reciprocates, bringing them closer together.

Just as their relationship deepens, they receive news that Lee Kwang-jin has regained consciousness. Confirming that Baek Joon-beom and Lee Soo-ho were friends, they suspect Baek Joon-beom is seeking revenge on Han Seol-ah on behalf of Lee Soo-ho.

While Cha Woo-seok searches for evidence linking Baek Joon-beom to the attempted murder of Lee Kwang-jin, Han Seol-ah arranges a meeting with Baek Joon-beom under the guise of a VIP preview exhibition invitation. She confronts him about the art piece 'Orphans of Syria' and its connection to Lee Soo-ho, provocatively suggesting, "Why don't you take off that mask now?"

Baek Joon-beom's demeanor changes at the mention of Lee Soo-ho's name, retorting, "Do you think I'm avenging him?" His intense gaze suggests imminent danger, but Han Seol-ah remains unfazed, maintaining a tense standoff. The mystery of Baek Joon-beom's true intentions and his hidden relationship with Lee Soo-ho continues to intrigue viewers.
