The new episode of this fantasy crime thriller drama kept the viewers on the edge of their seats with unexpected plot twists. The chapter picked up right from where it left off in episode 4 and featured the trial of Ma Joo Seok. The firefighter gave his final statement, and no one could believe their ears except Hwang Pil Gwang.
The demon identified the dark side of Ma Joo Seok. He wanted to use the firefighter as a scapegoat to win his battle against the counters. Hwang Pil Gwang went to prison and met the firefighter to execute his plan. However, he failed in his first attempt. But he managed to provoke the firefighter before leaving the place.
After the demon's visit, Ma Joo Seok struggled to chase the evil spirit away. He controlled his emotions and tried his best to stay calm. Since the firefighter remained the same, the demon went to prison again with Gelly. He kept reminding Ma Joo Seok about the death of his wife and the unborn child. After several attempts, the demon brought the firefighter to the dark side.
Ma Joo Seok accepted the evil spirit and went out on his quest for revenge. The unexpected events took place right after So Mun left the prison.
