Following her exciting discovery that Gu Nanting is her landlord living directly opposite her, both Cheng Xiao and Gu Nanting spend a restless night, with Gu Nanting resorting to an intense workout to exhaust himself into sleep. At the second investigation hearing, attended by President Xu, Cheng Xiao presents a comprehensive report detailing her decision to steer the aircraft.

She explains her judgment that steering was the only way to avoid a collision, a conclusion the investigation team's experts concur with. Captain Jiang Tao questions her about the risk of a side-slip, and while Cheng Xiao admits the thought crossed her mind, she asserts her confidence in her skills. Jiang Tao presents his simulator results, which indicated braking would have also prevented a collision. Though simulators cannot perfectly replicate reality, the team accepts his findings.

The core issue becomes whether Cheng Xiao disregarded the captain's order. Flight data reveals Cheng Xiao initiated the steering maneuver within 0. 1 seconds of the command, suggesting an instinctive reaction. The investigation team concludes that she did not violate regulations but instead took the safest evasive action in an emergency. Jiang Tao then raises the issue of the injured passenger, Duan Chao, suggesting the company issue an apology and compensation to mitigate the public backlash.

However, Chief Attendant Ai Jia clarifies that Duan Chao's injuries resulted from his failure to fasten his seatbelt, not the aircraft's maneuver. She admits the on-duty flight attendant was at fault for not enforcing the rule but reveals that a Platinum card holder, Mr. Wei, has agreed to be a witness. President Xu immediately decides to hold a press conference to clarify the facts and restore the company's image.

He commends Cheng Xiao for her courage in saving a suicidal passenger, declares her exempt from liability, and arranges for her to be featured in a special interview in "Luzhou Airlines Magazine." A delighted Cheng Xiao playfully demands that Gu Nanting express his pride in her. Flustered, Gu Nanting deflects, telling her to cooperate with the Legal Department regarding the threats made against her, which he has already reported.

Undeterred, Cheng Xiao privately vows to make him admit his feelings for her one day. Meanwhile, Jiang Tao expresses strong dissatisfaction with the company's decision, criticizing Cheng Xiao's actions as self-righteous. When Lin Yicheng tries to pacify him, Jiang Tao urges him to focus on his own career and work towards becoming a captain. Li Yuheng submits a self-criticism report to Ai Jia, who advises her that flight attendants are "hosts of the cabin," not servants.

She stresses that while passenger comfort is important, safety is paramount, encouraging the gentle-natured Li Yuheng to be firmer when necessary. Later, Cheng Xiao has Song retrieve Gu Nanting's flight records, intent on "studying" him to learn how to handle him. She plans a celebratory dinner and asks Song to invite Xia Zhi, sensing tension between them.

Song admits they quarreled, and Cheng Xiao defends Xia Zhi as a deeply loyal friend, prompting Song to joke that she only ever "stabs" him. That night, Cheng Xiao meticulously maps out Gu Nanting's flight routes and messages him simply, "Look at my house." The next day, she passes her medical examination and is cleared for flight.

The doctor then surprises her by asking for an autograph on a copy of "Luzhou Airlines Magazine," which features Cheng Xiao on the cover. The next morning, Xia Zhi rushes to work and squeezes into a full elevator, causing it to sound an overload alarm. A colleague's sarcastic comment about her not being fit to be a flight attendant mortifies her. Song arrives and tries to help, but a dejected Xia Zhi opts to take the stairs.

Song follows, attempting to console her, but his clumsy compliment about her "unique" appearance only makes her feel worse, reinforcing her self-doubt. While playing basketball, Ni Zhan notices Gu Nanting's unusually good mood but gets only a smile in response to his questions. Later, everyone gathers for the celebratory dinner. Ni Zhan brings gifts for the three women, and both he and Gu Nanting coincidentally present Cheng Xiao with copies of the magazine featuring her.

During dinner, Cheng Xiao toasts everyone and apologizes to a quiet Xia Zhi for not considering her feelings recently. She then proposes an idea to Ni Zhan: creating an animated video to explain the incident, clarify the celebrity's injury was his own fault, and promote aviation safety to counter negative press.

Ni Zhan is skeptical about getting company budget for it, but to everyone's surprise, Xia Zhi volunteers, claiming she has contacts in advertising and the PR department who might help for a small price. Cheng Xiao eagerly agrees to cover the costs. After dinner, Ni Zhan leaves, and Gu Nanting drives the rest home. Xia Zhi maneuvers Li Yuheng into the front passenger seat. In the car, Cheng Xiao pointedly announces she is Gu Nanting's tenant.

Li Yuheng, displeased, tries to assert her own closeness by mentioning how Gu Nanting's mother, Auntie Qin, often invites her over. Cheng Xiao expresses a keen interest in meeting her, recalling an encouraging female engineer from a past flight. Gu Nanting confirms that engineer was his mother. Gu Nanting drops Li Yuheng, Song, and Xia Zhi off first, leaving Cheng Xiao for last and causing Li Yuheng visible disappointment.

In private, Xia Zhi urges Song to help set up Li Yuheng and Gu Nanting, but is stunned when Song points out that Cheng Xiao also seems to have feelings for Gu Nanting. After arriving at their building, Cheng Xiao invites Gu Nanting up to her apartment, promising to give him something not convenient to bring to the office. Intrigued, he agrees. Inside, Gu Nanting finds his apartment transformed by Cheng Xiao's colorful, personalized style.

She introduces her pet parrot, Polly, and her collection of plane models. On the wall, she reveals a meticulously detailed map showing every flight route Gu Nanting has flown in his career, even identifying his first flight as a 787 captain to Rome. Cheng Xiao then presents him with a separate map, tasking him with charting her future routes on it after each flight.

She challenges him to track her progress, wondering aloud how long it would take for her to catch up to his experience, and makes him promise not to miss a single one.
