Episode 6 of The Frog delves deeper into the haunting past of Gi-ho, revealing his connection to the mysterious Hyang-cheol and the chilling events that unfolded at the Motel. We witness the consequences of Gi-ho's fixation on revenge and the lengths he's willing to go to make Hyang-cheol pay.
The episode begins with a flashback to the night Hyang-cheol arrived at the Motel with a dead body. Gi-ho, present at the scene, is instructed by Hyang-cheol to disappear and act like a ghost. This encounter sets the stage for Gi-ho's obsession with Hyang-cheol, which manifests in his relentless pursuit of justice.
As the present unfolds, Gi-ho continues to live in the shadow of the past, haunted by the events that transpired. He practices his shooting skills at Jung-do's shopping center, driven by a desire for revenge. Gi-ho's bond with Jung-do deepens as they share a common goal: to bring Hyang-cheol to justice.
The episode takes a dramatic turn when Gi-ho confronts Yeong-ha at his aunt's house. Pointing a gun at Yeong-ha, Gi-ho demands an explanation. Yeong-ha, however, manages to calm Gi-ho down and promises to reveal the truth.
Meanwhile, Yeong-ha, still recovering from his injuries, grapples with the recent murder and the potential implications for his rental property. He visits Lake View to assess the situation and decides to sell the property to Sung-a, distancing himself from any involvement.
Bo-min, concerned about Yeong-ha's well-being, tries to reach out to him but is unsuccessful. Sung-a, driven by her own desires, speeds off in her sports car.
Yeong-ha's journey takes him to the same real estate agent that Sang-jun visited years ago. He firmly states his intention to keep the property, refusing to sell. As the past and present intertwine, Yeong-ha visits Sang-jun, who is now residing in a retirement home. Sang-jun, lost in his own memories, believes he's still at the Motel, trying to clean up the mess.
Yeong-ha assists Sang-jun, which leads to a heartfelt conversation. Sang-jun reveals his longing for Gi-ho to contact him and expresses his concerns about Hyang-cheol. He warns Yeong-ha not to trust anyone and urges him to protect his daughter.
The episode reveals that Yeong-ha has been keeping an eye on Gi-ho for some time. This leads to a shocking twist when Gi-ho is captured and tied up at Yeong-ha's place. Believing Yeong-ha to be a police officer, Gi-ho remains unaware of the impending danger.
Just as Gi-ho is about to take action, he receives a call from his uncle, urging him to make his mark. This connects to an earlier scene where Gi-ho spraypainted a mark on a window and rushed to the hospital. Gi-ho's plan is to shoot Hyang-cheol when he arrives at the hospital to visit his dying mother.
Yeong-ha, still bound and gagged, struggles to free himself as the dramatic events unfold. The old woman, revealed to be Hyang-cheol's mother, lies on her deathbed. Hyang-cheol senses something is amiss and becomes alert just as Yeong-ha fires his gun, but misses.
In a chaotic sequence, Hyang-cheol attacks one of the hospital staff, and Jong-du intervenes. Gi-ho, armed with his rifle, arrives and shoots Hyang-cheol, declaring himself a ghost. Hyang-cheol, recognizing Gi-ho, is stunned by the revelation.
After successfully killing Hyang-cheol, Gi-ho escapes from the hospital and returns home to find Yeong-ha waiting for him. Yeong-ha, armed with an airsoft pistol, confronts Gi-ho and questions his desire for self-destruction.
Gi-ho, burdened by his traumatic past and the loss of his mother, reveals his feelings of loneliness and despair. Yeong-ha, understanding Gi-ho's pain, reaches out to Sang-jun for help. Sang-jun, listening on speakerphone, offers words of encouragement and support.
The episode concludes with a sense of resolution as Gi-ho and Yeong-ha work together to move on from the past. Yeong-ha decides to dispose of any incriminating evidence and provide Gi-ho with an alibi. He creates a story about Gi-ho visiting him to buy the motel and spending the night drinking together.
As the episode draws to a close, Yeong-ha leaves to meet Sung-a, who is visibly upset and has blood on her neck. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers to speculate about the meaning behind Sung-a's distress.
