Myung Ja Eun couldn’t digest whatever they doing with Pyo Ji Ae, she expressed her anger on them and told them to stop. These students abused Myung Ja Eun too, Sung Soo Ji got triggered by the incident, she also came in to stop the torture. After seeing all these arguments, Baek Ha Rin ordered those students to stop abusing Myung Ja Eun, because she’s not f group anymore.
Sung Soo Ji starts gathering information about the students who voted for her. Later, she found out that Baek Ha Rin made a few students vote for her. Sung Soo Ji felt some weirdness about the voting app, she thought A group’s votes were fabricated. Sung Soo Ji told everyone to write their votes on a paper to find out if the app is fabricated or not. Everyone took a piece of paper and voted their favourite five students, the result yet again came out like earlier.
Sung Soo Ji convinced everyone that it’s a misunderstanding from her side. Myung Ja Eun,Pyo Ji Ae and Sung Soo Ji gathered secretly outside the school and researched about stopping the game forever. They all shared ideas and researched about how to split other group students to go against group A. They selected three students who were not related to group A students in a manner, that they acted like helping them and becoming friends. They are doing it for more votes to survive. One of the girl is a hacker and Sung Soo Ji asked her too many questions about the app she created.
Sung Soo Ji told Myung Ja Eun to follow the girl, but later she found out that Baek Ha Rin already bribed that girl with a new laptop, in the meantime Myung Ja Eun followed the girl and entered Baek Ha Rin’s visibility.
Overall the third episode looks flat and nothing much intriguing. The antagonists played well in this episode, the main character felt unbalanced in their characterization.
