Ha-rin rushes through São Paulo Guarulhos Airport, following airport signage in Portuguese. Her carry-on bag is clutched tight. A taxi receipt shows the destination: Hospital São Paulo.

Ha-rin enters the hospital room. La Estrela is in bed, thin but alert. The room is filled with flowers and framed photographs of drag performances spanning decades.

Ha-rin sits beside the bed. She notices the photographs on the walls — La Estrela's decades of drag history. She takes her mentor's hand.

Ha-rin and La Estrela talk quietly. La Estrela's breathing is labored but she insists on speaking.

La Estrela begins to explain. Ha-rin's expression shifts from confusion to dread.

La Estrela reveals the truth. Ha-rin's world begins to crack.

Ha-rin processes. Flashback to the DRAG THRONE finale — her face on screen, crying as they announce she lost by two points.

Ha-rin breaks down completely. La Estrela reaches up to touch her face.

La Estrela tells Ha-rin why she really called her here. The real reason.

La Estrela's final instructions. Ha-rin listens with her whole body.

La Estrela places the star pin in Ha-rin's hand. Her final words.

Ha-rin clutches the pin. She does not want to let go of this moment.

Morning. Ha-rin wakes to an empty room. The monitor is flatline. La Estrela is gone.

The nurse confirms it. La Estrela passed peacefully in the night. Ha-rin is alone in the room.

Ha-rin touches the star pin one more time. She looks at the photograph of herself being crowned. Then she stands.

Airport. Ha-rin at the gate, boarding pass in hand. São Paulo to Seoul.

Ha-rin talks to Min-ji from the airport. She is coming back. She is not done.

Ha-rin sees her phone. The DRAG THRONE footage has been leaked. Her expression shifts.

Ha-rin watches the footage. The producers discussing 'managing the Korean market.' Saying she was 'too raw.'

The comments section. #JusticeForHarim is trending. Ha-rin scrolls in disbelief.

Ha-rin calls Min-ji again. She needs to tell her everything. She needs her team.

The Houses are reacting. We see a screen showing the joint statement: 'We do not engage with reality TV politics.'

Ha-rin walks through Seoul at night. She passes the karaoke box where she first met Min-ji. She keeps walking.

Ha-rin arrives at Min-ji's karaoke box. She opens the door. Min-ji and Dae-jung are inside, waiting. The found family is complete.
