In episode 10 of Good Partner, in the final fact-finding investigation into Kim Jae-hee’s (Yu-na) custody, the investigator revealed that she wanted to live with Cha Eun-kyung and did not want to see Kim Ji-sang (Ji Seung-hyun). Choi Sa-ra (Han Jae-yi) broke into Kim Ji-sang’s house and had a heated conversation about the ultrasound image and Kim Jae-hee, and he tried to force her out of his house. Choi Sa-ra suffered sudden pain during their argument, leading to her miscarriage.
At the hospital, the doctor stated the reason was unclear but could be because of an aberration. After all this, Kim Ji-sang revealed his true intentions of not seeing a future with Choi Sa-ra and asked her to leave immediately, ending their relationship.
Kim Ji-sang met Kim Jae-hee before the final trial, where she lashed out at him, stating she wanted him to be honest with her. Kim Jae-hee stated that she gave Kim Ji-sang multiple chances to come clean; however, he never did, and she said that he should be punished for his mistakes.
Kim Jae-hee, who got close to Han Yu-ri, met her and shared that she wanted their parents’ divorce case to close before she entered middle school. Then, Han Yu-ri navigated the situation with Kim Ji-sang and Choi Sa-ra, and she also informed Cha Eun-kyung about Jae-hee's wish.
In episode 10 of Good Partner, Cha Eun-kyung and Kim Ji-sang agreed to settle with the asset division and Jae-hee’s visitation frequency with her father. This was for the sake of Kim Jae-hee's future. Kim Ji-sang apologized to Cha Eun-kyung, and she replied to his apology by saying that they should do their best to raise Kim Jae-hee.
After Cha Eun-kyung’s divorce, Han Yu-ri, Jeon Eun-ho, and Jung Woo-jin (Kim Jun-han) gathered for dinner, wishing her well for a new start. Cha Eun-kyung asked Han Yu-ri to stay behind following the dinner and sincerely thanked her for handling her case so well.
She stated that if it was not for Han Yu-ri, she would have been lost. Han Yu-ri took this chance and called her Miss. Cha Eun-kyung instead of Lawyer Cha Eun-kyung and told her that did well during the entire process.
Episode 10 of Good Partner ended with Oh Dae-gyu (Jung Jae-sung) asking Jung Woo-jin to fire Cha Eun-kyung.
In episode 11 of Good Partner, the next day in the scene, Han Yu-ri gifted Cha Eun-kyung a plant, saying that she could always call her if she needed any after-service. Cha Eun-kyung was then called by Oh Dae-gyu, Daejeong Law Firm's CEO, asking her to take a few days off or maybe try something else, indicating that she should resign.
Cha Eun-kyung was taken aback by this given her performance has been top-notch. After she met with Oh Dae-gyu, she applied for a leave and planned to go on a trip with Kim Jae-hee.
As soon as Cha Eun-kyung went on the trip, the divorce department of Daejeong Law Firm got into a mess as many clients were asking for her. Han Yu-ri also was stuck due to a new case where her client seemed to have lied to her. Her client Lee Seung-joon was sued for adultery by his girlfriend Kim Ha-yoon's husband, Kim Hoon. Lee Seung-Joon stated that Kim Ha-Yoon seduced him and that he did not know about her husband, as they met on a dating app.
Han Yu-ri consulted Jung Woo-jin, who asked her to look further into the case, making her realize that Kim Ha-yoon and Kim Hoon were con artists who filed a fake case against Lee Seung-Joon to extort money from him. Han Yu-ri asked Jeon Eun-ho to help her to catch the fraudsters. She asked him to set up a profile on the dating app, and luckily, he matched with Kim Ha-yoon.
Jeon Eun-ho became Kim Ha-yoon’s next target and they went on a date where Kim Hoon clicked pictures of them standing very close to each other. Han Yu-ri and Jeon Eun-ho did not know this would get them into big trouble as Kim Hoon brought the pictures to Daejeong Law Firm, accusing Jeon Eun-ho of adultery and spreading the photos.
In their next move, Jeon Eun-ho asked Kim Ha-yoon for another date and she unexpectedly showed up at the law firm with lunch. Han Yu-ri had called Lee Seung-joon to the law firm. He found out the truth and confronted Kim Ha-yoon. With this, Han Yu-ri was successful in making them withdraw the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, on the trip, Kim Jae-hee felt the absence of her father. Cha Eun-kyung and Jae-hee were riding a bicycle and got into an accident. As this hurt Kim Jae-hee’s leg, Cha Eun-kyung was rushed to the hospital.
There, Jae-hee had a meltdown, and although she hated Kim Ji-sang, she couldn't help but miss him. She wanted him to come meet her but Cha Eun-kyung was afraid he would be startled hearing about Jae-hee’s condition.
At the end of episode 11 of Good Partner, Cha Eun-kyung called Han Yu-ri, asking if she could use the after-service and opened up about her situation. Cha Eun-kyung ended up in tears and said that she felt unwanted at work and home. Meanwhile, Jung Woo-jin asked Oh Dae-gyu to hand over the Daejeong Law Firm to him. It is yet to see what happens next on Good Partner.
Good Partner airs every week on Friday and Saturday on SBS at 10 pm KST.
