Rooftop Showdown: Exposing the Fake Cast and the Strangling Assault
Do Do-hee thought hiding behind a medical cast and pretending to be comatose would shield her from police interrogation. Na Ji-ni saw right through the performance. In an audacious gamble, Ji-ni wheeled Do-hee's entire hospital bed onto the rooftop, forcing Do-hee to stand up on her own two feet while recording the entire sham on video.
Did you forget what you did to me in that school storage room back in middle school? — Na Ji-ni, Episode 62
Cornered and stripped of her alibi, Do-hee abandoned all composure. She tackled Ji-ni to the concrete floor and wrapped both hands around her throat in a violent rage.
I should have killed you in that school warehouse back then. — Do Do-hee, Episode 62
Brothers Cha Seung-hyun and Cha Seung-woo sprinted up the stairs just in time to drag Do-hee off Ji-ni. Seung-hyun did not mince words as he pulled Ji-ni to safety, telling Do-hee straight to her face that prison was her only remaining destination.
Down in the lobby, family rifts deepened. Na Se-ri tried to check on Lim Ji-hoo, only to be turned away by General Lim Joong-bin. Blaming Ji-ni for his son's devastating accident, General Lim drew a cold line between the households.

The Dashcam Chip and Cha Min-ki's High-Stakes Blackmail
Inside the interrogation room, Do-hee spun excuses about overseas residency, unfamiliarity with local roads, and emotional panic to pass off the hit-and-run as simple drunk driving. The detective shut down her claims immediately. Police technicians had recovered the dashcam memory chip from vomited evidence, destroying her argument that the crash was accidental.

With evidence tampering and flight risk firmly established, the detective ordered Do-hee locked in a detention cell.
Rather than showing remorse, Do-hee's father Cha Min-ki leaned into raw political pressure. He called General Lim Joong-bin directly, threatening to dig up past military records surrounding Lieutenant Noh's desertion incident that led to the general's sudden discharge before his promotion to lieutenant general.
I will uncover what you buried, General—the real reasons you abruptly retired and chose to live far from the capital. — Cha Min-ki, Episode 62
Min-ki's aggressive blackmail shows how far the Cha family will go to force a dropped complaint, mirroring the heavy family politics seen across the network lineup highlighted on Korea's Highest-Rated Dramas Right Now.
Ji-ni's Vigil and the Shocking Retrograde Amnesia Ending
Barred from visiting Ji-hoo's room by his family, Ji-ni retreated to the hospital chapel. Clutching a letter Ji-hoo wrote before the accident, she broke down in tears. The letter revealed Ji-hoo's deepest wounds as an adopted child who felt unloved until he met Ji-ni, solidifying her commitment to stand by him.
When I struggled for acceptance, I wanted to disappear. Loving you was the first time I felt alive. — Lim Ji-hoo's letter, read by Na Ji-ni, Episode 62
Shortly after, Ji-hoo regained consciousness following two weeks in a coma. As his mother Noh Young-joo wept tears of relief, Ji-hoo looked around the room in confusion. The first word out of his mouth was not Ji-ni, but Do-hee.
Do-hee? — Lim Ji-hoo, Episode 62
Ji-hoo has zero recollection of who struck him with a vehicle. Retrograde amnesia wiped away both his bond with Ji-ni and Do-hee's vicious crimes, setting up a painful dynamic where the perpetrator could exploit his blank slate.

What caused Lim Ji-hoo's sudden amnesia at the end of Episode 62?
After remaining in a coma for two weeks following the vehicular hit-and-run, Ji-hoo woke up with retrograde amnesia. The condition erased his recent memories, leaving him unaware that Do-hee ran him over or that he shared a deep bond with Ji-ni.
How is Cha Min-ki attempting to protect Do Do-hee from prison?
