Seems like people really hated this episode judging by its rating? I actually didn't. I mean, nothing happened in this episode. Like, at all. But it wasn't exactly bad.

It felt a bit like they were creating the new setting. They were telling us exactly where everyone stood from now on, who's on which side, who's dangerous to whom. They were setting the mood and preparing for the finale.

Objectively this episode was just Shi Woo walking around the school staring at people, listening in on people and interviewing people. But we've become attached to all these characters, haven't we?! We want to see what they're feeling. We want to see Seon Ah's reaction and Soon Deok finally acting like the perfect daughter she is again. Chi Ang realizing what a horrible person his father is, Yeob Jung being torn between right and wrong.

A+ acting from Seon Ah by the way. One of the most convincing crying scenes I've seen so far. (Chi Ang not so much. It was really obvious that he's not an actor in that scene. But it was bearable.)
