Trolley Season 1 Episode 5 Recap

The episode begins with a flashback to 20 years in the past, which shows us the first time that Hye-joo’s life was “turned upside down” in a single day. This event is linked to her later name change, as she fled from a helpful police officer who noticed blood on her clothes.

In the present, Seung-hee checks in with Hye-joo and congratulates her on her marriage to an assemblyman. However, the atmosphere is tense and uncomfortable, made worse when Hye-joo lies about Soo-bin, claiming that the confused young girl is “just a kid I know.” Hye-joo then nervously asks to talk with Seung-hee at a later time, and the two exchange numbers before Seung-hee leaves, saying “I missed you, my friend.”

As Hye-joo cancels her plans to visit Ji-hoon’s columbarium with Soo-bin, preferring to rest and ease her “uneasy” feeling, Joong-do speaks with Ki-young. However, their conversation does not go as the assemblyman had hoped, as Ki-young asks him to stop what he is doing, claiming that his mother-in-law has committed no wrongdoing. Ki-young is also struck by Joong-do’s claim that his wife has “fond memories” of Youngsan.

After Joong-do hears that Seung-kyu’s mother has swallowed pills (fortunately, her condition was not life-threatening), he becomes concerned about why she did so. Woo-jae suggests that it could be due to heartbreak or the “hateful” online comments about the deceased medical student, but asks Joong-do not to blame himself. Joong-do cannot help but think about Ji-hoon, wondering how his son must have also received hateful comments and how he did what most parents would not when he asked for his now-deceased child to be “punished strictly by the law.”

Woo-jae tries to bring some logic to the situation, reminding the politician that public sentiment does not allow for understanding of criminals. He advises Joong-do to keep his personal feelings about Ji-hoon or Seung-kyu’s mother at home and to focus professionally on the upcoming election, only expressing his emotions around Hye-joo.

Meanwhile, Seung-hee scrolls through “happy” pictures of Hye-joo and messages her. Hye-joo becomes panicked upon reading these texts, which contain comments on how Joong-do “killed someone.” Hye-joo becomes even more worried when she sees that Seung-hee has a photo of her and Joong-do together.
