Connection: Episode 7 Recap 

Jae-kyung unexpectedly encounters his subordinate, Inspector Chang-soo. 

When Jae-kyung suspects Chang-soo of being the one who drugged him, Chang-soo responds that he knows Jae-kyung's story but still trusts him. Chang-soo believes that someone forcibly drugged Jae-kyung and that Jae-kyung is trying to find the culprit while under the influence. 

In the past, Min Hyun-woo, while working as a delivery driver, accidentally mixed up medication meant for a patient with medication intended for Jong-soo due to a sudden car accident. This led to the patient consuming Jong-soo's medication and presumably dying as a result. 

Oh Chi-hyun, a core member of the "Inner Circle," kidnaps Yun-jin, offering her blackmail material and bribe money to silence her about her corruption. Min Hyun-woo happens to witness the kidnapping and informs Joo-song. Fortunately, Yun-jin is safely released. Despite Chi-hyun's threats, Yun-jin stands her ground and declares her intention to fight back. 

Chairman Won Chang-ho of Geumhyeong Group expresses his disappointment upon hearing that his son, Jong-soo, Geumhyeong Group's successor, collapsed due to drug intoxication and plans to send him to the United States. 

Kim Chang-soo confronts Ms. Yoon, asking why she drugged Jae-kyung, but she feigns ignorance. Instead, she hands the inspector Kim money under the pretext of business expenses, as she always does. 

As Jae-kyung gets closer to uncovering the truth about what happened the day Jun-seo died, Episode 7 of "Connection" concludes.
