Oh Saerom and Gabriel quarrel over a videotape and, once again, destroy the Alphatrix Innovation office in the ensuing chaos. Lee Jin scolds the two of them and decides to work from home, but Jia is worried for her health and tells go on vacation instead. Jin reluctantly takes her advice, but once at home she has trouble getting sleep as she can only think about office work. Eventually, she remembers she needs to take care of Kim Chowon's school transfer business and heads to the City Management building for the paperwork.

At City Management, Lee Jisoo contemplates burning down the building out of frustration when Jin enters and asks for a school transfer report. Because Jisoo takes too long and keeps making mistakes, Jin offers to help her out. When Jisoo thanks and compliments her, Jin begins to wonder she was being too harsh on Gabriel and Saerom and concludes that she should apologize to both of them. After Jin leaves, one of Jisoo's coworkers comes in and chastises her allowing a nonemployee do her work.

Back at the repaired Alphatrix Innovation office, Saerom and Gabriel apologize to each other but end up arguing again after they continue to blame each other for the incident the other day. Jin enters and, upon seeing the two battle, instantly becomes enraged and demand they come to the meeting room with her.

## [Record] Routine Report

After keeping silent for some time, Lee Jin releases a timeline report to the vice chairman of Alphatrix Group on Alphatrix Innovation's recent business affairs.

Since the death of its president, Alphatrix Group's stock prices had been falling. At a family meeting, Shin Seah and Shin Jaehyuk (CEOs of Alphatrix Entertainment and Heavyarms respectively) argued over each other's methods of business while Shin Jia says Alphatrix Innovation is expecting positive earnings for the second half of the year. Jaehyuk sneered at Jia and demanded she give some money to him since they're family. Despite Lee Jin's opposition, Jia casually agreed by not only purchasing Heavyarms stocks but also declaring that Innovation will take any money from headquarters for the rest of the year. Jin later confronted Jia over her decision and reminded her of Heavyarms' abysmal situation, but Jia argued that people should be paid for their efforts like her grandfather said and was optimistic that Heavyarms will do better if Innovation helps them.

A few months later, Heavyarms' stock prices rose by forty percent after the company unveiled their new rifle ammunition project at the Administration's defense industry fair. Jin reports that the project was successful because the engineers had, rather than work on unstable new technology as Heavyarms management had originally desired, focused on what they were specialized in.

Some time after the fair, the Replacer Incident exhausted the global Eternium supply, causing the price of Eternium to skyrocket. As a result, Heavyarms' newly-developed ammunition, which used high Eternium content, also increased in price and lost its competitiveness in the market. Jaehyuk demanded Jia for his stocks back, and Jia agreed to sell them back to him at market price. Though Heavyarms managed to survive, its financial situation unfortunately regressed back to where it initially was while Jia profited from the other companies she invested in.

Lee Jin wonders if Shin Jia's successes were all coincidental, but the Vice Chairman believes otherwise and claims Jia was the main cause of all those events. The Vice Chairman recounts all the times Jia exhibited infallibility and claims that she is only "pretending to be innocent" and could never understand human beings. He tells Jin that if she really wants "a better world", she must first get rid of Jia.

## Attaque Composée

At a gym, Lee Jin encounters Park Hyunsoo, an old-time friend of hers, and asks if he wants to spar with her. As they skirmish, Jin modestly calls herself ordinary in spite of her high-ranking position at Alphatrix, Hyunsoo asks who could be more talented than her. Jin simply answers that there's someone who's "simply beyond ordinary" above her. Later in the day, Jin offers to help Hyunsoo get a better job, but Hyunsoo declines as he does not want to risk his life being in that particular field of business. Hyunsoo gets a call from his colleague, Shim Somi, who asks him to come to work because Daymine Mining is currently understaffed. He leaves but not before telling Jin to take care of the person she spoke highly of.

On her way home, Jin bumps into Jia, who is heading towards Alphatrix HQ to finish up an unit operation plan. With the vice chairman's words echoing in her mind, Jin offers to help Jia.
