The November 14 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" (hereafter "Doctor X: Mafia in White") depicted Kye Soo-jung and the people of Guseo University Southwest Hospital each taking a step forward on their respective paths.
On this day, Kye Soo-jung questioned Kim Seung-hyo ahead of his surgery. However, far from showing remorse, he acted shamelessly, saying, "God has forgiven me. Look at the children's letters, the children love me."
He also drew attention when asked why he entrusted his surgery to Kye Soo-jung, answering, "Because you are my best pupil, and Kye Soo-jung never fails."
In response, Kye Soo-jung and Cho Won-jin planned intraoperative awareness for Kim Seung-hyo. But just as the surgery began, Jang Hee-sook appeared with Nima. Jang Hee-sook showed Nima and said, "I asked him. To hold you back, so that you could stop."
In the end, Kye Soo-jung and Cho Won-jin wavered. But at that moment, White Wings barged in and said they would take Nima. To this, Kye Soo-jung threatened, "If you take Nima, the surgery will stop, and then Baba will die." Even so, White Wings still intended to take Nima away.
And right then, Boo Seung-kwon appeared after being asked by Park Tae-kyung. In response to Park Tae-kyung's plea that he would explain the reason later, Boo Seung-kwon blocked White Wings.
Meanwhile, Park Tae-kyung fled with Nima to the monitoring room above the operating room. Through the glass window above the operating room, Nima conveyed his feelings to Kye Soo-jung. Nima wrote on a sketchbook, "You are not a monster, Baba is the monster, you are Kye Soo-jung (Gae Soo-jung)," and upon seeing this, Kye Soo-jung finally resumed the surgery. And Cho Won-jin abandoned the stimulant injection.
However, after the surgery, Kim Seung-hyo complained of pain and looked for Nima. Seeing this, Cho Won-jin said, "He was listening, he was awake. He experienced intraoperative awareness."
At this, Boo Seung-kwon asked, "Why were you trying to induce intraoperative awareness? Let me change the question. Why didn't you do it?" Kye Soo-jung, Cho Won-jin, and Park Tae-kyung then revealed the true nature of Kim Seung-hyo to Boo Seung-kwon. Learning this, Boo Seung-kwon expressed his anger, saying, "How can a person like that be a doctor? Good intentions? How could it be?"
Park Tae-kyung confessed to his parents the terrible things he had suffered at the hands of Kim Seung-hyo. His parents conveyed their sincere feelings, saying, "Thank you for enduring it, and thank you for staying alive." Emboldened, Park Tae-kyung gathered courage and exposed Kim Seung-hyo's true nature.
Cho Won-jin, who decided to leave the hospital, asked Kye Soo-jung if she believed God existed. To Kye Soo-jung, who said she hated God, Cho Won-jin urged her not to quit being a doctor, saying, "God believes in you. That's probably why he came and went from here. Telling you, 'I'll take care of this person, so you do your work. Live a bit longer as a doctor.'"
The Magnolia Society decided to shut down Guseo University Southwest Hospital. And with Park Tae-kyung's revelation, Kim Seung-hyo's ugly true colors were exposed to the world. Cho Won-jin then drew attention by saying, "Let's live in hell together for a long, long time, Dad."
Boo Seung-kwon decided to retire following the decision to close the hospital. Having many thoughts due to the situation with Kim Seung-hyo, Kye Soo-jung and Boo Seung-kwon asked each other whether they would no longer work as doctors. In response, Boo Seung-kwon blamed himself for his helplessness in being unable to do anything about the closure decision, remarking that he thought he was a lighthouse keeper, but was actually a lost ship.
Hearing this, Kye Soo-jung said, "Even on a lost ship or a sinking ship, a captain is needed." Boo Seung-kwon asked, "Are you telling me to sink along with it?" Kye Soo-jung then advised, "Even so, bringing everyone to land until the very end—that seems to be your role, Director."
Afterward, Boo Seung-kwon offered Kye Soo-jung a permanent position as an official doctor. However, Kye Soo-jung declined and walked her own path. Jang Hee-sook cheered on her choice, saying, "Yes, but this is who you are. Go, Kye Soo-jung."
