Plot[]
Kitty is feeling awkward with her roommates - Juliana won't talk to her and Stella makes her suspicious. She shares her concerns with Q, who tries to explain Stella’s actions, suggesting that she was likely trying to be a good girlfriend to Min Ho by searching his dad’s office for old photos of them together. Meanwhile, Yuri also won't speak to Kitty, further confusing her.
Dae continues to give Min Ho the cold shoulder, leaving Q caught in the middle. On the way to school, Yuri notices that her driver, Dae’s dad, seems tired. She promises not to say anything to Dae.
Yuri keep trying to speak to Juliana, but Juliana keeps avoiding her. Things escalate when Juliana sees Yuri and Kitty coming out of a closet together, which looks like something it's not.
Kitty hopes to share the news of reconnecting with her Korean cousin, Jiwon, with Yuri but ends up confiding in Min Ho instead. Min Ho offers to accompany Kitty to meet her family if she talks to Dae on his behalf. Kitty agrees but it doesn't go well as Dae explains to Kitty that Min Ho is selfish and that's the issue.
Min Ho joins Kitty on her visit to meet her Korean grandmother. Kitty is excited about connecting with her extended family. On the way, she advises Min Ho to reflect on why Dae is angry, suggesting that the issue isn’t entirely about her but about his own impulsive behavior and its impact on others.
Alex encourages Yuri to consider Juliana’s feelings and to give her some space. Back in the city, Q and Juliana grow suspicious of Stella when they see her leaving a cybercafe and acting like she’s hiding something. They wonder what she’s up to since her excuse of playing video games doesn’t seem likely.
Kitty and Min Ho approach her grandmother's house but don't say who they are at first - instead they pose as clients for a matchmaking service because her grandmother does matchmaking professionally. When Kitty finally reveals who she is, her grandmother reacts angrily and kicks them out.
News breaks of Mr. Moon being involved in a scandal, which goes viral at K.I.S.S.
At the end of the episode, Dae receives a call that his dad has been hospitalized. He rushes out, bumping into Min Ho and Kitty as they return. Min Ho offers Dae a ride to the hospital, and Kitty joins them, setting aside their differences to support Dae during a tough time.
