The Frog (Netflix) Episode 2: Episode 2 begins with an eerie depiction of the series of events leading up to the blood Joen Yeoung-ha found on the vinyl. While Yoo Seong-a cooks dinner, her son Si-hyeon sneaks out to play with his toy pup. When called back inside, he eats his dinner in silence but is curious to know when his father is expected to return.
Yoo reassures the naive child that his father will return once he finishes his meal. The scene cuts to Yoo, holding the vinyl, drenched in blood, looking for cleaning equipment to cover her tracks. While the victim is not revealed, the scene manages to create horror and suspense in the mind of the viewer, who hurriedly skips the intro to know more.

After this strange encounter, Jeon returns to the vacation home to inspect further. He lies to his friend and tells him that the guests are still asleep in order to investigate some more. He finds the entire house, including the bathroom squeaky clean, which he suspects is an attempt to cover up a wrongdoing.
In the next scene at the police station, two juniors discuss the transfer of Yoon Bo-min to such a lonesome town. Owing to her track record, she was given the name ‘It’, for reasons unknown to them. Meanwhile, Yoon settles into her new office, organizes her desk, and places a picture as memorabilia on her table.
At the Lake View Motel, things grow intense as Gu Sang-jun and his wife are called in by the police for questioning. His wife, Eun-gyeong, who witnessed the incident firsthand, appears uneasy and faints, and is allowed to go home and rest. Back at the vacation home, Jeon finds a camera in his friend’s car which recorded the events that unfolded the night before. And what he sees jolts him to the core- a recording of Yoo shoving a heavy suitcase into the trunk and driving off, with no sign of her child.
Gu Sang-jun, under the influence of alcohol, opens up to his friend about the serial killer at the motel. He further puts forth his concern about business at the motel now that such an evil-doing has taken place. Another character who is equally concerned at the time is Jeon as he dabbles between calling the police or putting an end to his delusions. He cleans everything and packs it up to take to the laundromat, where he is told that he has brought two towels less than what he usually brings in for cleaning.
He rushes back to find them, doubting whether they were used to commit the crime he suspects has been committed. He finds the towel which he wrapped on the child to shield him from the rain and his suspicions start turning into concrete evidence. However, his thoughts are disrupted by a knock on the door by Yoon Bo-min, who stopped by to share her business card. She notices the blood stain on his hand to have disappeared and leaves, suspicious of Jeon and his vacation home.

A few months pass with the protagonists trying to move on from the tragedies that had taken over their lives. While Jeon attempts to start afresh, leaving behind his doubts and suspicions, Gu Sang-jun and his wife take on low-paying jobs to pay the bills. Business at the motel is seemingly over after the murder, yet Eun-gyeong wishes to keep it alive. One night, when she’s cleaning the reception, she receives a prank call making fun of the motel. The couple gets into a tiff about selling the motel, ultimately putting it for sale.
The newly arrived, amateur cop also starts mixing well with the others. She cuts out the articles from the newspaper that highlight the serial killer’s indictment and subsequent capital punishment. As a memento of her first case, she also attaches a picture to her desk, before being called on by the others.
The scene cuts to the setting of a classroom, where a distressed young child is alarmed by the time, and rushes out of the class, back to his home, packing several liquor bottles into his bag and leaving. We later come to know that he is the child of Gu Sang-jun and Eun-gyeong, bullied by older kids into bringing them alcohol because of his parents’ financial state.
