Missed episode can you help me?

[Catalpa]

Hi. I missed last night's/this morning's episode, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could post a brief synopsis. Did Aunt have her baby okay? How's Screechy Mama doing? Is IY's Aunt (Mrs. Hen) recovered from the flu? Was there another flash forward? Is IY still trying to get PG?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Aunt has her baby and it's now 100 days later. That is apparently an important anniversary in a baby's life. It's a girl, named Bo-bae. (Odd! I've never heard a name like that.) Aunt and Husband are taking Bo-bae to have family photos taken for the occasion, and in the car on the way back they discuss how they're not having a party because In-young doesn't have a baby and is not even pregnant, and that they will have a party for the baby's 100 days when IY has a baby, too. But they get back home and IY and the ajumma have prepared a little family party with lots of food, and Ki-joon has bought a baby walker, and even Screechy has come through. She's bought an insurance policy that will cover the baby's education expenses and health insurance as far as hospital visits until Bo-bae is either out of college or HS, I couldn't tell which. And I couldn't tell if that was only in the event of the parents being unable to take care of the baby, or if it would pay for that stuff regardless. Aunt cries with happiness as Screechy makes it clear that she wants everyone to be taken care of and the reason she told her to have an abortion was because she was worried about the baby's future. I thought that was obvious, but Aunt seemed to realize it for the first time and was touched. (Seems weird to me, but if it makes her happy. . . .)

IY has been trying everything to get PG. She's moved on to artificial insemination and has tried it 6 or 7 times w/o it working. Ok-jin is trying to make her do in vitro now, but IY is getting very weary of the whole thing and looks miserable. KJ wants to give up but says it's her choice. Things do not seem good between them at all. During one of the last AI tries, he refused to make love at the appointed time because he's so sick of doing it on schedule. She decides to go ahead with the in vitro, but only because she doesn't want to give up, not because she feels hopeful.

Sun-mi continues to go on blind dates because her mother is threatening to kill herself if she doesn't. In-chul knows about it, and it's gotten so routine that he calls her during the dates to make plans for later. Ha! But it bothers him, and he says they should tell her mom they're seeing each other and want to get married. She basically says just because she loves him it doesn't mean they should get married. Later they end up fighting about it in a restaurant and he storms out, and they don't talk for days. He seeks Mi-jung's advice, and she says that if SM doesn't see him as a man, he should show her that side of him. So after cooling off for days, he calls SM from her apartment and tells her to come home, and she finds him there with candles and wine and such. (BTW, I LOVE her apartment. It's the Hello Kitty ethos in action, w/o any actual HK merchandise visible.) They get drunk, and he tells her he loves and tries to kiss her (apparently they've been going out for over a year and he hasn't kissed her since that first time we saw), but she keeps laughing and they finally pass out together.

The next day is the day Sun-mi's mother has chosen to come visit unexpectedly. She lets herself into the apartment and finds them sleeping in the bedroom--In-chul in the bed and Sun-mi on the floor. Shock! Closeup freeze-frame! Cue outro music!

Also in that episode, Grandpa and Aunt have gone on a date to the movies. They seem very comfortable, as if they do this frequently. (Remember there's been a flash-forward of many months.) They apparently do this during the day and pretend to the others that they've been home all the time. It's more companionable than romantic, though he acts chivalrous to her, buying her popcorn and Coke and lending her his reading glasses to read the movie synopsis.

Oh thank you so much, Lucy!!!! I've been busy with a sick kid, one after another, and in-laws visiting from out of town so I missed that and the LoveLetter episode (going to post over there w/same request). Come 6pm and 8pm tonight, everyone better just be quiet!!! I'm goign to cook dinner now so it'll be done for later : - )

Also In-chul has arranged dozens of candles in the LR and BR , they flicker romantically-Sun-mi says it's corny but she smiles. Then he pours red wine for them, says he doesn't know if you can get drunk on wine, so he produces a bottle of soju. She says something that they did not translate. ?
( Does he think a romantic evening includes drinking to the point of drunkenness?) And they get happily sloshed and she giggles when he tries to kiss her. They fall asleep (or pass out?) sitting on the sofa, candles burning. When mom comes, the candles seem out.
