In the final episode of Good Boy, Yoon Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum) chased down Min Ju-yeong (Oh Jung-se) till the Russian ship he planned to escape through. However, he showed no remorse for his crimes. Min Ju-yeong knew he would not win against Yoon Dong-ju, so he tried to destroy the empire he had built.

After getting beaten up by Yoon Dong-ju, Min Ju-yeong jumped into the water because he refused to be caught by him. Yoon Dong-ju followed him and dragged him out with all his strength to see his teammates standing by to catch Min Ju-yeong. Min Ju-yeong was sentenced to jail while Yoon Dong-ju focused on his health through rehabilitation with Ji Han-na's (Kim So-hyun) support.

Yoon Dong-ju visited the prison to meet Min Ju-yeong, and the latter was convinced that the people who served him in the past would still come to help him. He was confident that he would be out soon through the power of money.

Additionally, all characters witnessed a full circle by making peace with their past as athletes. With this, the possibilities of Good Boy season 2 renewal decrease.

However, Min Ju-yeong fooled them and decided to destroy the documents. These documents were in the mayor's old office. Soon, Ji Han-na located them, and the team caught the mayor trying to run away with a bag full of cash. They tied him to an office chair and pushed him in front of the press waiting for him in the lobby.

Yoon Dong-ju, Kim Jong-hyeon, Ji Han-na, and Shin Jae-hong worked together to take everyone out. However, Go Man-sik was shocked and couldn't process the situation. He was taken out by others. The commissioner also helped them after Yoon Dong-ju threatened, saying it was his chance.

Ji Han-na, Shin Jae-hong, and Go Man-sik were all set with the backup to catch Min Ju-yeong, but only his Russian bodyguard was seen in the car. Shin Jae-hong decided to take the bodyguard down. Meanwhile, Kim Yu-na met Min Ju-yeong at a port and gave him a bag. As Min moved towards the ship, Kim Yu-na was hit by a truck as per his plan.
