Becoming Witch Episode 6 opens with Ma-ri seeing Nak-gu going public about Ma-ri physically abusing him on television. She has also received a notice for divorce, where she is supposed to provide Nak-gu with alimony. Nak-gu is, meanwhile, enjoying his time with Go-eun. Jin-a wakes up after sleeping with Woo-bin only to find her money stash falling out of the mattress. As for Hui-su, her husband asks her for a divorce which upsets her and she asks him to leave.
After the video has gone viral, Ma-ri faces are starred down and looked on in public. Her mother gets a hold of her and rebukes her for her actions. In a tussle, Ma-ri is hit by the Bible where she reads: “An Eye For An Eye. A Tooth For A Tooth.” This motivates her to take files of all the credit card and hotel bills Nak-gu has spent on Go-eun to her lawyer. She also offers the memory card from Go-eun’s dashboard that has the recording that can prove Nak-gu was trying to kill Ma-ri.
On the other hand, Nak-gu cannot provide any more evidence against Ma-ri doing him any harm. However, his lawyer has a third-person recording from the accident scene that can save Nak-gu. He gives Ma-ri’s lawyer a call and tries to crack a deal with them.

The recent episode of Becoming Witch is a closing chapter for all the turbulent marriages it seems. The scheming and plotting continue but, there is also a sense of closure. The show feels close to moving towards a more friend-centric place now and hopefully will focus on the friendship between our three protagonists rather than their individual lives.
