In this episode, Gye Su-jeong (Kim Ji-won) proposed a surgery to save Lee Hyeon-a (Lee Chae-yu), an 8-year-old pediatric cancer patient, which involved removing six organs from the body to remove a tumor before re-transplanting them. When Bu Seung-gwon (Son Hyun-joo) and the medical staff opposed the move due to the risks involved, Gye Su-jeong submitted her resignation to the agency and proceeded with the surgery.
Do Yun-sik (Kim Yeong-min) joined the surgery, and as the patient's blood pressure dropped during a crisis, Jang Hui-suk (Lee Jung-eun) appeared wearing surgical scrubs. Jang Hui-suk, who was known to be the director of the doctor agency, was revealed to be a surgeon and the mentor of Gye Su-jeong.
In the tenth episode broadcasting on the 7th, Gye Su-jeong and Jang Hui-suk will continue the surgery together. The preview video also contains a scene where Gye Su-jeong, having pushed through with the surgery, faces the risk of having her contract terminated.
