The October 30 broadcast of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" depicted Gye Soo-jung performing surgery after barely managing to change her patient's mind.
On this day, Gye Soo-jung barely persuaded patient Oh Sang-beom—who initially sought surgery with the intention to die—to change his mind before performing the operation.
Meanwhile, patient Oh Sang-beom said goodbye to his older brother in a dream. His brother worried about him until the very end, saying, "Goodbye, Sang-beom. You have to eat well and live well. That is how you have to live."
After safely completing Oh Sang-beom's surgery, Gye Soo-jung concealed what she had extracted from his head. Confronting her, the hospital director questioned her, saying, "The only reason I approved this surgery was under the premise that it was a bullet."
Gye Soo-jung responded, "I never said it was a bullet." The director asked, "The object inside the other specimen you have right now, Dr. Gye—is it what I think it is?" When she asked what he was thinking, the director warned that her white lie would not last, saying, "A bone fragment. Everyone will find out about the lie you told, Dr. Gye."
Gye Soo-jung handed the secretly extracted bone fragment over to Jang Hee-sook. To the director, Gye Soo-jung said, "If they had known this was a bone fragment and not a bullet, would they have ever allowed the surgery? I have no interest in shaping or running the world. I am just someone who asks 'why,'" shaking Boo Seung-kwon's resolve.
As time passed, a press conference was held to announce the results of Oh Sang-beom's surgery. At the briefing, Mokryeonhoe concealed their true intentions and busily wrapped their agenda in favorable terms. They then pushed the responsibility of answering the various suspicions surrounding the surgery onto Boo Seung-kwon.
At the same time, Oh Sang-beom disappeared from the hospital. Gye Soo-jung and her colleagues set out to search for him.
It turned out Oh Sang-beom was reminiscing about his brother who would never return, doing alone the things they would have done together had his brother survived. Finding Oh Sang-beom at a karaoke room, Gye Soo-jung and her colleagues quietly joined him.
Just then, news of the former president's death arrived at the hospital—he had passed away without ever offering an apology.
Gye Soo-jung then handed him the bone fragment extracted from his head. She said, "It took a bit longer because of the DNA testing. This is a fragment of your brother's bone. What was inside your head all this time was your brother. He was always with you."
Tears streaming down his face, Oh Sang-beom drew attention by saying, "Brother, let's go home now."
Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a medical strike sparked by an increase in medical school quotas was previewed, raising curiosity about what will unfold next.
