Suho is livid when he finds out that Jae-Won secretly takes pictures of Aiden and the girls. Jae-Won tries to deny it but Suho doesn’t buy it and shove him back to the room, “If it’s really nothing, open the photos you just took. OPEN IT.” Jae-Won trembles in fear as he’s opening his phone, but he unexpectedly throws his phone inside a glass of beer, unable to reveal them to Suho, “Now, okay?” Inside the room, Aiden witnesses everything in confusion and shock. Suho lets out a sigh of relief.
*The next day*
Jae-Won has the cheek to say hi to everyone cheerfully. He finds Suho and Aiden busy reading something in the waiting room and approaches Aiden with a friendly gesture, “I’m sorry about yesterday.” He wasn’t actually sincere, obviously…he thinks that he couldn’t lose to bastards like them and be number 1. Later on, he’s humming by himself when his phone keeps beeping with notification. He’s about to check what happens when a staff member called him urgently, “The director is looking for you!” The production team has gathered when Jae-Won enters the room, asking for why did he call him. The director cuts to the point, “What’s this about” and gives his phone to show Jaewon something in it. It turns out that there’s a report by DEATHPATCH about his messy private life with women (basically he’s having multiple DMs and notoriously known for sliding into women’s DMs). He’s shaking with anger as he sees each news headline and then goes back to the waiting room to pack his things. Unsuspecting Aiden asks him, “Hyung, what happens?” Jae-Won cannot hide his rotten-self and curses at Aiden, “LET GO OF ME, BASTARD.” Then he realizes that Suho is still there, staring at him intently. Jae-Won loses his cool and shouts at Suho, “ANSWER ME!! AM I FUNNY?? AM I A JOKE??” This time, Suho lets out a small laugh. Jae-Won lets out his anger to Suho, calling him out for having no talent besides being handsome so he shouldn’t even laugh at Jae-Won. Jae-Won vents that Suho doesn’t even understand the desire to be number one since he only receives it without putting effort. He points his fingers to Seo-Jun and Aiden, actually praising them for working hard on the show and shaming Suho, “You should be ashamed!! Aren’t you sorry for us?!” He concludes harshly by calling Suho as the one who has no talent, not him. Aiden tries to stop him but Jae-Won curses at him and continues his tirade, “Ah you guys are so pitiful. You think being handsome from birth is everything? F**k!! Try to eat and live well somewhere!!” With that, he stomps out of the room.
For the next episode, the MC announces that Jae-Won has to leave due to his private life scandal and announces that for the next round, the contestants would have freedom to choose whatever concept they want to show to the public. She explains that the concept aims for the contestants to challenge themselves and show the best of them.
Later on their way home, Ju-Kyung and Seo-Jun discuss what happened to Jae-Won. Ju-Kyung is surprised, but Seo-Jun is not cuz he’s been suspicious of him since he slid into Ju-Kyung’s DM. Ju-Kyung then asks him if he’s worried about what Jae-Won said earlier in the waiting room. Seo-Jun pats her head, telling her that it doesn’t bother him at all, “He just did it because he couldn’t win himself and vented at Suho. I did win #1 last week, right?” Ju-Kyung is bothered with what Jae-Won said, “My Seo-Jun is handsome though…”
Meanwhile, at home, Suho is thinking about what Jae-Won told him earlier. He sighs, acknowledging that what he said was correct and he indeed felt ashamed, “[Aiden and Seo-Jun] they all worked hard, but me…” Getting up from bed, Suho decides to do some research on netizens’ opinions about the contestants and makeup. He then encounters a blog post, titled “To you who dream of change.” The blog post talks about how she/he wakes up every day with the same determination to achieve her/his goal, but it isn’t easy and sometimes it even feels pathetic. There are times when she/he cannot help comparing her/himself with other people, “Other people are moving toward their dreams…!! Why do I feel like I’m the only one stopping!!” Then the blog post ends with a positive message that changes should start from a small change within oneself.
The next day, each model+makeup team is having the final meeting about the concept. Suho’s team is wondering about what kind of concept they need to choose. Unexpectedly, Suho speaks up, “I… Honestly…” He blushes before continuing, “I… I have something I want to try…” He gains courage from the blog post and suggests, “S-sexy concept…”
