The October 9 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" depicted Kye Soo-jung returning to the hospital.
On this day, Kye Soo-jung observed an operation being performed by the hospital director. Sensing an abnormality with the director, she said, "Even now, let's stop the surgery and get an MRI or something."
However, the others dismissed Kye Soo-jung's suggestion and simply stood by. In the end, the director leading the surgery went into shock and collapsed, prompting the doctors in the operating room to rush him out, concerned only for his safety.
Although the patient was also in critical condition, no doctor was available to proceed with the surgery. Left alone in the operating room, intern Park Tae-kyung panicked.
Just then, Kye Soo-jung stepped in. After checking the patient's vitals, she instructed that all surgical gowns and gloves be replaced and that the operating room be ventilated.
She then swiftly performed the surgery, saving the patient from peril. Boo Seung-kwon was watching all of this unfold.
Jang Hee-sook introduced Kye Soo-jung, saying, "Her hands are quite quick, aren't they? I am Jang Hee-sook, head of the nation's first doctor staffing agency. This is our agency's top ace, surgeon Kye Soo-jung."
Before heading into the operating room, Kye Soo-jung had also administered emergency treatment to the director, saving his life as well. Later, the doctors asked Kye Soo-jung why the director and the patient had gone into shock. Kye Soo-jung did not answer, telling them to find the cause on their own since they were all doctors.
Afterward, the director expressed his gratitude to Kye Soo-jung and asked if his chosen surgical method was not correct after all. Kye Soo-jung pointed out the flaw in his method, remarking, "As expected, you should not have opened the abdomen," which led the director to fire her.
Kye Soo-jung immediately left the hospital as Boo Seung-kwon watched on. He went to the director and said, "Director, why did you do that? A patient's life was at stake, yet you gave up for your own convenience? How long has it been since you performed surgery that you wouldn't know a latex allergy could cause such an issue?"
Holding out the latex gloves used during the operation, he drew attention by saying, "There is only one thing I want."
Later, Boo Seung-kwon brought Kye Soo-jung back. Alongside Jang Hee-sook, Kye Soo-jung signed a contract, declaring, "Rounds, staff dinners, assisting professors with papers, unwanted overtime—I do not do anything unrelated to a medical license," adding, "And I do not make mistakes."
Do Yoon-shik expressed concern over Boo Seung-kwon's choice, warning that everyone could be shaken because of Kye Soo-jung. In response, Boo Seung-kwon remarked, "She is just a tail that can be cut off anyway, along with the hospital's other problems. So let's watch and see how she does," sparking curiosity about what will happen next.
