In 'The Frog' Episode 8, Bo-min can't keep Seong-a in custody due to lack of evidence. After she is let go, Bo-min races against time to gather some evidence that could incriminate her. Meanwhile, Jeon Young-ha (Kim Yoon-seok) also plans to hunt her down to avenge what she did to his daughter before she flees out of the country. When Jeon reaches Seong-a's abode, he discovers that Ha Jae-sik already has her at gunpoint, with her father's permission to eliminate her. However, Seong-a tries to manipulate him into killing Jeon by revealing his role in covering up the murder of Si-hyeon.

As Jae-sik stands in anger and agony discovering how his son was killed, Bo-min arrives and asks him to put his gun down. Both of them want the same thing- Yoo Seong-a must pay for her crimes. However, both have different ways in mind. While Bo-Min wants to put her behind bars, Jae-sik wants immediate justice. He forces Bo-min to put her gun down and then turns towards Seong-a to kill her. Yeon interrupts and the gun falls on the floor. Things go awry from here on. Seong-a grabs the weapon and shoots Bo-min before trying to escape. Jae-sik follows her and shoots her to death.
