Episode 14 of Queen of Tears opens with Hyun-Woo and Hae-In on their honeymoon, strolling through a park that doubles as a cemetery. Hae-In is touched by the sight of a man placing flowers on a grave, appreciating that the cemetery feels like a part of the community. Hyun-Woo solemnly comments that if Hae-In were to pass away, he would only survive a day without her because his life without her is unimaginable.
Desperate Pleas and Determined Departures
Fast-forward to the present, Hyun-Woo is earnestly persuading Hae-In to choose life. Meanwhile, Eun-Seong prepares to leave for Germany despite Seul-Hee’s protests. He clings to the hope that Hae-In, post-memory loss, might give him another chance. Seul-Hee reluctantly decides to aid him, prompting Eun-Seong to catch a flight to Germany.
In Germany, Hyun-Woo seeks solace in a church, praying for Hae-In’s recovery. Hae-In follows him, confessing her lack of interest in continuing her battle for life. Later, in a lavender field, she reminisces about their past visits, expressing her desire to preserve her identity and memories rather than prolong her life at their cost.
Emotional Blackmail and Overheard Tears
The family gathers at the Baek residence, attempting to emotionally sway Hae-In’s decision. Their plans crumble as they become overwhelmed with emotion, inadvertently leaving a call connected. Hae-In overhears their cries, deeply moved by their love and concern.
As tensions rise, Hyun-Woo tries a new tactic to influence Hae-In’s decision. At a restaurant, he intentionally draws attention from other women, hoping to spark Hae-In’s jealousy. This plan is interrupted when Eun-Seong, witnessing their interaction, grows furious at the perceived closeness between them.
Dangers Loom
Grace discovers that Seul-Hee has orchestrated a dangerous plan to eliminate the Hongs, including Hae-In. Although she initially hesitates due to financial incentives, she attempts to warn Hyun-Woo. Meanwhile, a truck collision targets Hae-In, but she narrowly escapes, having stepped out to buy charms. Hyun-Woo is devastated, fearing the worst until he finds her safe.
Decisions Made Under Duress
Amidst the chaos, Hae-In agrees to undergo the surgery, unable to bear Hyun-Woo’s anguish. She insists on living her remaining days as herself, embracing her identity fully before the memory-altering procedure.
As the surgery date approaches, Hyun-Woo is detained by Interpol on fabricated charges, orchestrated by Eun-Seong to isolate Hae-In. Eun-Seong then spins a deceitful tale to a now-amnesiac Hae-In, painting Hyun-Woo as a criminal from her past.
As Hae-In enters the operating theatre, she repeatedly murmurs Hyun-Woo’s name, hoping her body will remember him post-surgery.
