The previous episode of Queen of Divorce showed that Solution’s new manager joined forces with Yul-Sung and handed over a video of Ji-In. It featured an intimate moment of Ji-In and a man. When Yul-Sung shows it to his wife in the latest episode 5, she gets scared and agrees to cooperate. In return, she requests him to help her father seek bail.
Yul-Sung fools the public by planning an attack on him with Ji-In by his side. The latter fires Sa-Ra (Lee Ji-Ah) as her divorce consultant, but things change when she realizes that Yul-Sung has no plan to help her father. Seeing Ji-In’s situation, Sa-Ra pursues a political move to tarnish Yul-Sung’s image. She intervenes in his campaign and reveals to the public that he tried to kidnap his wife but kidnapped his ex-wife by mistake.
Yul-Sung gets furious and barges into the Solution office, threatening Sa-Ra about the repercussions. He tells her to make things right in a press conference the next day. Before the media meet, she and Ji-In get together to set a plan against Yul-Sung. At the conference, Ji-In reveals that Sa-Ra’s claims are true, leaving him in shock. As a result, he loses the election.
Aside from Yul-Sung’s drama, Sa-Ra also finds out that she once saved her colleague, Dae-Gi, medically. Before thanking her in person, he hugs her. Kang Ki-Young’s Dong Gi-Jun sees them and misunderstands their relationship. However, he later finds out that they are nothing more than co-workers. It appears the ex-lovers still have feelings for each other.
