Hyun-wook and the La Spera chefs are shocked when they read about Sae-youngs confession in a news conference. Overwhelmed with shock, San frantically calls Sae-young. Two food critics, who scathingly criticized La Spera in their last visit, order their steak rare. Hyun-wook calmly fills their order. While Yoo-gyeong teaches how to make ginseng pasta to the other chefs, she hears about the New Chef Cooking Competition but Seok-ho asks Yoo-gyeong to keep it a secret. Hyun-wook orders the staff to stop taking orders for steak because they ran out of ingredients and warns Seok-ho and his team that they cant enter the kitchen after working hours. Entering a café, Hyun-wook spots Sae-young talking to a reporter.
