To get more exposure and votes, the top two candidates and Jung Gook are to go on a televised debate. Jung Gook is given a script by Joo Myung to follow but is struggling to say something he doesn't believe. Meanwhile, Mi Young plans to apprehend Hoo Ja but is told to hold off for the time being.

Right before the debate goes on air, Jung Gook finds out about Joo Myung's complaint filed against Mi Young. Jung Gook is angered by this and decides to go off script. During the debate, he speaks from the heart and even goes against his campaign pledges.
