Kitty is determined to attend the shoot—partly to support Minho, partly to keep an eye on Gigi—but she’s badly behind in her Korean literature class. She only ended up in it because all the easier electives were full, and now she has an essay due that weekend—fail to submit it, and she doesn’t graduate. Noticing the obvious chemistry between Jiwan and Professor Alex, Kitty comes up with a plan. She gets Jiwan tickets to see Baby Moo—the viral baby whale—in exchange for an extension. Then she also gets tickets for Alex, essentially forcing them into a blind date, and slips away to the aquarium where Eunice’s video shoot is happening. She brings Yuri along, hoping to help her land a job with Yisu, who’s looking for a third assistant, by getting Gigi to recommend her. But Kitty’s attempt to help goes completely wrong when she accidentally spills a drink on Eunice’s outfit. Yuri, who already thought she’d blown her chances after ruining a garment earlier, steps in and saves the situation. Using her fashion instincts, she restyles Eunice’s look, impressing Gigi and earning herself an interview. Realizing she only made things worse, Kitty leaves and goes to see Baby Moo, feeling defeated. Q finds her there, and she opens up—about how natural Minho and Gigi seem together, how his father already made it clear she doesn’t belong in their world, and how easily Gigi fits into spaces where Kitty struggles. Q then reveals the truth: Marius invited Gigi on purpose to break them up, and Kitty is falling right into it. With that clarity, Kitty talks honestly with Minho. He reassures her, saying that even though they come from different worlds, he loves how she challenges him and pushes him beyond his comfort zone. Instead of the spa day she had planned, they agree on a simple study and skincare night at the dorm so she can finish her work.
