On the third night in Solonara, the second-choice dates for the solo men of the 28th season began. Young-sook found herself on a 2:1 date with Young-soo and Kwang-soo, both of whom had chosen her as their second choice. During the date, Young-sook questioned Young-soo about his feelings for Hyun-sook, to which he avoided giving a direct answer. Frustrated, Young-sook expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "It seems like Young-soo is talking to all seven women. It doesn't look good." Young-soo defended himself, saying, "Today was the first time I talked to Ok-soon and Hyun-sook. How can I make a decision on the first day?"
In the midst of the awkward atmosphere, Young-sook questioned Young-soo's open-mindedness about raising children, asking, "Are you speaking from experience?" Young-soo admitted, "I think I was short-sighted," and later confessed in an interview, "I don't have children, so I might not fully empathize with Young-sook's feelings."

Later, Kwang-soo also drew a line when Young-sook asked about the possibility of a long-distance relationship. After the dates, Young-sook told the production team, "I think I need to let go of my feelings for Kwang-soo. When I reflect on myself, it seems like it's Young-soo. But talking to Kwang-soo made my heart flutter, and letting go of that makes me a bit sad," she said, tearing up.
After returning from the date with Young-sook, Kwang-soo immediately called out Jung-hee. Jung-hee then approached Young-sook, asking, "Did you tell Kwang-soo about my feelings?" Realizing her mistake, Young-sook apologized, "I made a big mistake. I'm sorry," she said, tearing up again. Young-sook admitted, "My heart flutters for Kwang-soo, but I'm begging for love from Young-soo," and cried once more.

After the emotional turmoil, Jung-hee met with Kwang-soo, who asked, "Have you sorted out your feelings?" Jung-hee repeatedly said, "I don't know." Kwang-soo expressed his intention to move forward, saying, "I think I have," and initiated the 'holding hands and calling each other darling' mission, which he won in a yutnori game, creating a romantic atmosphere. In an interview, Jung-hee declared, "Young-ho is no longer in my heart," and decided to pursue Kwang-soo.
The next morning, Ok-soon, who shared a room with Soon-ja, asked about her feelings while doing makeup together. Soon-ja confessed that she had feelings for Sang-chul but was hesitant because of Hyun-sook. Ok-soon advised, "Hyun-sook has sorted out her feelings for both Sang-chul and Young-soo and announced it in front of everyone. So, try to work things out with Sang-chul." Soon-ja then went to the common living room and sat next to Sang-chul, but Young-sik approached her for a one-on-one conversation. Young-sik asked, "Since the first impression selection, I've only chosen you. Am I within your boundaries?" Although Soon-ja had never considered Young-sik, she kindly lied, "I've always kept you in mind."

Meanwhile, the production team shocked the 3MCs by announcing the birth of a baby from the divorcee special. They revealed the ultrasound video of 'Nasol-i' (the baby's nickname), born during the 28th season. Defconn speculated, "Judging by the energetic heartbeat in the ultrasound, could it be Kyung-soo's child, who has been an athlete for 30 years?" Lee Yi-kyung guessed, "Could Kwang-soo and Jung-hee have had a baby?"
