With this, "Kiss Is Not Just Because!" maintained its position as the number one weekday drama in ratings across all channels.

This episode focused on the reunion of Gong Ji-hyuk (Jang Ki-yong) and Go Da-rim (Ahn Eun-jin) as team leader and team member. The two, who shared a "disastrous-level" kiss as a couple in a budding romance, added tension with an ending scene where they locked eyes. Go Da-rim overcame her interview trauma and attended the recruitment interview for the Mother TF team at a baby products company, but Gong Ji-hyuk, who was the interviewer, had already left the interview room. Pretending to be a mother, Go Da-rim passed the interview and earned the opportunity to work as a member of the Mother TF team for six months.

On her first day at work, Go Da-rim faced an awkward situation when she joined the Mother TF team led by Gong Ji-hyuk. Gong Ji-hyuk misunderstood Go Da-rim as a mother and a married woman, which shocked him. He demanded that Go Da-rim submit her resignation letter, but she decided to endure it, thinking of her sick mother. Gong Ji-hyuk devised a plan to get Go Da-rim to quit and assigned her to work alone on an overnight experiment for five days.

When Go Da-rim's work report was delayed, Gong Ji-hyuk rushed to the site even in the early morning. However, when he arrived, Go Da-rim was nowhere to be seen, and instead, a fire was blazing. Believing Go Da-rim was in danger, Gong Ji-hyuk tried to jump into the fire. At that moment, Go Da-rim appeared, and Gong Ji-hyuk instinctively hugged her and said, "Thank goodness." This scene was a significant moment revealing their emotions.

Go Da-rim found a four-leaf clover from Jeju Island on Gong Ji-hyuk's phone, and from the next day, Gong Ji-hyuk did not come to work. Rumors circulated within the company that Gong Ji-hyuk was the chairman's son and that the Mother TF team would be disbanded after six months. Go Da-rim and the team members completed the assigned experimental work together.

Go Da-rim brought the report that the team members had completed after several sleepless nights to Gong Ji-hyuk, but he remained cold. Even when Go Da-rim knelt and begged, Gong Ji-hyuk threw the report into the swimming pool. Desperate, Go Da-rim, who cannot swim, jumped into the pool without hesitation and began to struggle. Seeing this, Gong Ji-hyuk jumped into the water to save her. Although they hid their feelings from each other, their eyes revealed emotions of love.

This drama, filled with excitement and laughter, raises anticipation for the next episode. Episode 4 will air on the 20th at 9 PM.
