Episode 7: Another Contract
Even though it all began as a contractual arrangement between Yi-joo and Do-guk, her sentiments for him evolved over time.

Their sinister intentions promptly take shape as they expose the confidential contract between Yi-joo and Do-guk to the entire family.

Now that the secret pact between Do-guk and Yi-joo has come to light, the entire family is rife with disappointment and demands for justification.
