Later, the scene shifts to Hae-suk, who is unexpectedly detained by celestial beings eager to unravel the intricacies of her tale with Eun-ho. Nak-jun, sensing her plight, swiftly intervenes, orchestrating her escape and escorting her safely back to their abode.
Within the confines of their home, Som-I attempts to initiate a conversation with Hae-suk regarding Eun-ho, but Nak-jun cuts her short, abruptly halting her words before they could spill over into sensitive territories.
The following day, Hae-suk encounters the pastor, who is enveloped by a cluster of inquisitive women, all eager to learn about his reunion with his mother. Seizing a private moment, Hae-suk draws him aside, her mind grappling with the morality of their recent actions, her doubts beginning to surface.
Elsewhere, in the infernal realms, Jjajang and Jjampong dish out justice to those who have abused pets, their wrath unyielding. Amidst this grim task, Jjajang encounters an eerie semblance of himself from two lifetimes past. This encounter triggers a flood of memories, revealing how, driven by hunger and a primal urge to protect his food, he had once barked fiercely at Eun-ho, causing the boy to flee in terror. Plunged into Guilt, Jjajang seeks forgiveness, but Eun-ho, with a heart brimming with forgiveness, assures him that there is no need for apologies.
Later, Eun-ho confides in Hae-suk his decision to embark on reincarnation. Their bond deepens as they spend countless hours together, with Hae-suk gently nurturing his understanding of life, imparting wisdom on how to embrace confidence and treat women with the utmost respect. In the comfort of their home, Som-I unburdens herself to Nak-jun, revealing her inner turmoil and confessing that she once harbored dark thoughts of harming Hae-suk. Nak-jun responds with a tender embrace, and they walk hand in hand in a poignant silence, while Hae-suk continues to mentor Eun-ho within the serene confines of the church. Both their hearts swell with emotion as they prepare for his spiritual transformation.
The following day, Hae-suk ventures out to bid Eun-ho farewell, but he fails to appear for their fateful crossing. Alarm takes hold as she frantically searches for him, her panic mounting with each passing moment.
Meanwhile, Sonya confronts Nak-jun about his bond with Som-I, leaving him flustered. She subsequently informs Som-I of her non-human existence and her impending disappearance into thin air. This revelation propels Nak-jun to reveal the stark truth to Som-I: the president had revealed to him that she is a manifestation of Hae-suk's trauma, a fragment of her subconscious that has split off and materialized with amazing strength.
As Nak-jun imparts this reality, Som-I begins to glitch, her mind overwhelmed with memories—particularly the harrowing moment she lost Eun-ho. Simultaneously, Hae-suk finds herself ensnared in a nightmarish mental landscape where Som-I's power grows exponentially, choking her and accusing her of Eun-ho's demise.
A haunting flashback unravels the tragic tale of how Hae-suk lost sight of Eun-ho amidst the bustling throngs of a marketplace. Nak-jun, desperate and relentless, scoured every corner, even resorting to bribing a police officer in a bid to locate the boy, but to no avail. Hae-suk, consumed by an overwhelming grief, lashed out at the officer in a moment of despair. Nak-jun, sensing her vulnerability, intervened swiftly, striving to restore her composure.
As days turned into months, Hae-suk's spirit dwindled, hollowed by the relentless pain. Nak-jun's detective work eventually uncovered a grim revelation: the very officer who had failed them had resigned from his duties and inexplicably flourished financially. Suspecting deep-seated malice, Nak-jun relentlessly pursued him, a chase that culminated in a catastrophic accident that left him paralyzed. In the hospital, Hae-suk, her memory erased of Eun-ho, confronted Nak-jun with a blank slate.
In the present day, Nak-jun cradles Som-I, his heart heavy with a sense of obligation for all that had transpired. He harbors the desire to vanish with her, hoping to shield Hae-suk from further agony. Haunting glimpses resurface of Hae-suk's harrowing attempt to end her life, a testament to her unbearable sorrow.
Then, a miracle unfolds—Eun-ho steps into their world once more. Approaching Som-I with tender steps, he unburdens her of her guilt, revealing that he had waited at the church, as Hae-suk had instructed him in the event of their separation. It was there that the corrupt officer found him, spiriting him away to be sold alongside other innocent children. On a frigid night, Eun-ho's life extinguished.
In a poignant confrontation, Som-I melts into Hae-suk, and Eun-ho is finally reunited with his parents, a long-awaited embrace that transcends the veil of sorrow. A startling revelation unfolds: the president had informed Eun-ho of Hae-suk's true identity as his mother, a truth Eun-ho had clung to all along.
The episode concludes on a poignant note, with a cherished memory shimmering warmly—Hae-suk, Nak-jun, and Eun-ho united in joy and camaraderie, a fleeting moment of bliss captured forever in time.
