Episode Title: Looking Back The episode starts off with some reflection on how these past 4 months have been. One similar thought is that the house felt like there were people living there (like a home). Other similar thoughts are not doing enough for each other and not knowing enough about each other. With that, this sets the direction of the episode.

Episode Title: "You Are My Bom (Spring)" We start the episode off checking in with the missing members, Dongwook and Kang Joon through phone calls. Both are away on set of their respective dramas. I found it funny how Se Ho mentions to Dongwook that he is lying in Dongwook's bed while making this call. They chat a bit about visiting the set and Dongwook ends the call with "get off of my bed." Minwoo and Nana make a video call to Kang Joon, which coincidentally gets cut off after Nana tells him how she misses him.
