Episode 6 of "Heavenly Ever After" unfolds with a dramatic leap, as Ko Nak-jun plungers into a sea of molten lava only to emerge miraculously in the realm of heaven. Simultaneously, Hae-suk and Young-ae also find their way back to the celestial domain. A nostalgic flashback illuminates the moment when Hae-suk shed a solitary tear, tipping the scales of her sins below the fateful mark of 50 grams, while Young-ae’s slate remained impeccably clean, her sins weighing not a single ounce.
Nak-jun, upon encountering the two women, eagerly recounts his daring leap into the fiery abyss solely for Hae-suk’s sake, only to be met with her indifferent gaze. Their conversation veers towards the mystery of Young-ae’s descent into hell, to which she staunchly denies ever being Som-I, revealing instead that she was involved in a mishap subsequent to Hae-suk’s demise. This revelation acts as a catalyst for Hae-suk, finally dawning on her that Young-ae and Som-I are two distinct entities. United in their quest, they venture to the support center and succeed in locating the genuine Som-I, escorting her back to their abode until her memory is restored and a proper destination becomes available.
Meanwhile, Nak-jun's impulsive journey to hell catches up with him, resulting in a temporary suspension. In a dreamscape filled with enigmatic allure, Som-I visions a woman dancing gracefully by the seashore, yet the specifics of this vision elude her grasp upon waking. The subsequent day, Hae-suk revisits the support center, but to her consternation, Young-ae proves elusive within their digital records, leaving another layer of mystery unchecked.
Hae-suk then proceeds to meet with the president, her heart laden with the hope of pleading for Nak-jun's reinstatement. However, her request is met with a stern refusal, the president citing Nak-jun's breach of regulations. She further inquires about the missing credits in her ledger of virtuous deeds, to which the president responds by informing her of a method to retrieve forgotten acts of kindness using a tablet from their orientation session.
Meanwhile, Jjajang returns from his harrowing journey through the depths of hell, eager to recount his experiences to his two companions. In a poignant moment filled with both sorrow and relief, he discourages them from following in his footsteps into the wilderness, urging them instead to remain safe under the protective wing of the benevolent pastor who has been their refuge.
Elsewhere, Hae-suk and Young-ae are in the midst of retrieving the tablet when a young man enters their domain. To their astonishment, they recognize him as the same individual whose funeral Hae-suk had attended to collect a debt. Through a heartfelt flashback, we witness how Hae-suk had once offered him an extra portion of food - one for the day and another for the next, ultimately serving as a beacon of hope that discouraged him from taking his own life. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he expresses his profound thanks to her, and as if by magic, a corn cob on the tablet disappears, signifying the acknowledgment of her good deed.
Later, the president imparts wishes from deceased souls to their mourning kin. He then reverses his earlier decision, recalling Nak-jun and assigning him a new mission. Nak-jun attends the wedding of a celestial resident's daughter, where he presents a bankbook left behind by her late mother - a testament to her relentless efforts to save for her children's future.
Hae-suk, too, embarks on a visit to the woman in heaven who had taken her own life. A poignant flashback unfolds, revealing how Hae-suk had meticulously arranged her funeral, ensuring that she received a dignity-filled farewell. The woman, now eternal, expresses her heartfelt thanks to Hae-suk, who then continues on her journey. She returns to the church, where the pastor awaits her with open arms, a symbol of continued refuge and solace.
They prepare and partake in a heartfelt meal of snails, a dish that once bestowed Hae-suk with resilience during her darkest hour. The pastor then offers her a piggyback ride back to the church, a gesture filled with warmth and gentleness. Meanwhile, Nak-jun grants Som-I's wish and transports her to the living world. As he steps into a shop, Som-I catches sight of the same beachside dancer from her dreams depicted on a T-shirt, evoking a wave of panic. The episode concludes on this cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
