Episode 12 revealed major plot secrets beginning with a shot of distressed Shim Su Ryeon (Lee Ji Ah) rescued in the basement of the mansion owned by Joo Dan Tae (Um Ki Joon). However, as the police arrived to assist her, Shim Su Ryeon changed her expression to a dark smirk revealing that everything went according to her plans.

In a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that Oh Yoon Hee (Eugene) assisted Shim Su Ryeon to frame Cheon Seo Jin (Kim So Yeon) and Joo Dan Tae.  Cheon Seo Jin is arrested in suspicion of kidnapping and imprisoning Su Ryeon while Joo Dan Tae is arrested for murder.

Meanwhile, Oh Yoon Hee successfully extracted her revenge against Joo Dan Tae and Cheon Seo Jin, but she was kept in the dark that her daughter is alive. Overwhelmed by emotions, Oh Yoon Hee penned a letter to Shim Su Ryeon to apologize for her actions and wrote, “I will accept the punishment. Everything I have done for you is for my atonement. Goodbye.” The episode ended with a scene of Oh Yoon Hee preparing to jump over the bridge.
