Kang Tae-poong is overwhelmed with emotion upon reading a message left by his father in the savings account, "I'm sorry. I miss you so much." Kang Jin-young's message reads, "I support your dreams. You are always the person I love the most. I wanted to show you that only what you achieve by facing and overcoming challenges can truly be called yours. People are more important than results." He had saved 990,000 won by depositing 300,000 won monthly.

Towards the end of the episode, Kang Tae-poong senses something amiss with Daebang Textiles and warns Oh Mi-seon, "A company that's been around for 30 years can't be this clean. Don't stamp anything or send any faxes." He throws himself in front of a truck to prevent a delivery.
