In the episode, it was shown that Su-ho left Korea to be with his ill father. It also showed a hilarious encounter with the bullies from Yongpa High School that Ju-gyeong, Choi Soo-ah and Joo Hye-min cooled down with during a meal. When Soo-ah opened her bag, she saw that her packaged album which she purchased with Ju-gyeong had been torn and whined about it to Hye-min who owned the two copies of the same album. As a thoughtful gesture, Hye-min gave the second copy to Soo-ah. This helped them realize that they were fans of the same music duo and were also a part of the Gelatin fan club.
