Story Guide

Episode 1

Ryan leads Stella to a building he says he bought just for her, close enough to touch the stars. It's their first wedding anniversary — and he tells her this is where her story ends. He shoves her off the rooftop, complaining he's been humiliated at the Bosch Group and ordering her to leave it to him. Stella protests she gave him her whole heart. Tina, her best friend, is revealed as Ryan's real partner, and Ryan thanks Stella for the insurance policies she signed. At her funeral, Ryan plays the grieving husband.

Episode 2

Doubt creeps in at the funeral. Stella was allergic to alcohol since childhood — she would never have drunk enough to lose her footing, so something is wrong with the "accident" story. Claire resolves that she was not a good mother, but she will find out the truth and avenge her daughter no matter the cost. Someone asks Claire if it's worth living with her daughter's face. Meanwhile, onlookers notice how close Tina stands to Stella's husband and family, sensing something off.

Episode 3

Reporters crowd the funeral hall, drawn by Stella's death and the Bosch Group inheritance. Ryan tells them he'll announce the transfer of inheritance rights at tomorrow's press conference. Alone, he gloats that Stella was born into nobility yet still ended up pushed off the rooftop by him, and that he's finally taken this position after years of humiliation. Tina reminds him not to forget her once Bosch Group is his. In Stella's office, the two grow bold at her desk — until something startles them.

Episode 4

Tina is shaken, insisting she saw Stella. Ryan dismisses it — Stella is dead, she fell to her death on her own, and it has nothing to do with them. He warns Tina not to talk nonsense at tomorrow's press conference. Tina apologizes, blaming poor rest for her fuzzy mind, and promises not to hold him back. Ryan isn't worried either way: whether Stella is human or a ghost, if she shows up, he says he can make her disappear for good.

Episode 5

At the press conference, Ryan is asked whether Stella's body has been found and who will inherit Bosch Group. He claims Stella's mental state had been poor since her father died, blames himself for forgetting their anniversary, then announces he will rename Bosch Group and serve as chairman. The room objects, but he presses on — until Claire appears as Stella and says, "Honey, I'm back." Tina recoils in terror. Ryan orders everyone to shut up and vows the conference will succeed, no matter who this woman is.

Episode 6

Ryan tests Claire's identity, pointing out that after a lost pregnancy her waist and stomach couldn't have flattened so quickly. Claire explains she was unconscious on IV nutrition for days and couldn't eat or sleep after losing the baby — then asks why he keeps questioning her instead of wanting her alive. To prove herself, she recalls borrowed books in junior year and his proposal at Saint Spring Plaza on March 25, 2022. Ryan and Tina remain unconvinced, and Tina demands a physical check for surgical stitching marks.

Will Claire's borrowed memories and cold nerve hold up under the check? Hit play and find out.
