지하주차장에서 현오를 대신해 피습을 당한 재용은 중환자실로 옮겨지고... 졸지에 공석이 된 PPS 9시 뉴스 메인 앵커 자리! 결국 9시 뉴스 진행에 차질이 생기자, PPS에서는 현오가 유력한 대안으로 떠오른다. 하지만 소 국장의 간청에도 재용을 대신해 앵커 자리에 앉을 수 없다며 거절하는 현오! 은호는 죄책감으로 인해 혼자만의 슬픔에 잠긴 현오를 위로하며 설득하는데...!
Fear sets in after Hyun-oh escapes death, and the worry over Jae-yong's well-being renders him irremediable. Eun-ho stays by his side to console him but gives him the space he needs to recuperate. However, PPS is at its most vulnerable, unable to fill Jae-yong's spot for the 9 o'clock news. Meanwhile, Baek Hye-yeon jumps ship and joins PPS, leaving Media N Seoul out to dry, especially Joo-yeon, who begins to have a change of heart.
Ketakutan muncul setelah Hyun-oh lolos dari kematian, dan kekhawatiran atas kesejahteraan Jae-yong membuatnya tidak bisa diperbaiki. Eun-ho tetap di sisinya untuk menghiburnya namun memberinya ruang yang dia butuhkan untuk memulihkan diri. Namun, PPS berada pada posisi paling rentan, tidak mampu mengisi posisi Jae-yong untuk berita jam 9. Sementara itu, Baek Hye-yeon melompat dan bergabung dengan PPS, membuat Media N Seoul kehabisan tenaga, terutama Joo-yeon, yang mulai berubah pikiran.
