The latest episode sees Wu Si and Tang Xin finally back together, a development that brings a complex wave of emotions for Tang Xin's parents. Her father, hearing the news, steps out for some air, only to later join the happy couple in a square dance, his joy poorly concealed behind a stoic facade. Tang Xin's mother expresses her fondness for Wu Si but also her worries that her daughter might face hardship, entrusting him with her care. With their relationship rekindled, Wu Si and Tang Xin capture their happiness with a romantic wedding photoshoot by the sea.
Meanwhile, other storylines continue to unfold. Cheng Yuan returns to the barracks after a romantic day with his girlfriend, where a thoughtful Qiu Xiao has prepared glasses and medicine for him. In the world of special forces training, Yi Nanwang achieves a perfect score on his assessment, while Zong Qing relentlessly drills his team with surprise scenarios to sharpen their emergency response skills. Elsewhere, Han Changzhou's salvage operation is a success, having recovered hundreds of artifacts from a shipwreck, much to the eager anticipation of Han Yutian.
A significant shift occurs within the special forces team as Wang Chen, unable to keep up with the demanding training, is transferred to a training base for new recruits. Before his departure, Brigade Commander Wang hosts a farewell dinner for him and Wu Si. During the meal, Wu Si stuns everyone by requesting a transfer from the front line himself. He confesses that the constant injuries suffered by his team members have left him feeling like an unworthy captain, haunted by the fear that he will eventually lead all his comrades to harm.
With her relationship worries settled, Tang Xin throws herself into her work. On New Year's Day, she and Wu Si are enjoying a quiet day at home when she reminds her parents of the 100-day celebration for Brigade Commander Wang's newborn child.
The celebration becomes the stage for the episode's climax. The family attends the party, where Tang Xin learns of Wu Si's request to be transferred. She pulls him aside, immediately understanding that his decision is driven by a desire to be with her and keep her from worrying. However, Tang Xin cannot accept this sacrifice. Refusing to let him become a "deserter" from his duty for her sake, she rejects his marriage proposal. The episode ends with both families anxiously waiting as Tang Xin's father cryptically asks her mother what she said to him when he left the service, hinting at a shared past and an uncertain future for the young couple.
