---------------------------------------------------------

Kang asks Ji Kyung if she wants to stay at Min Ho's. She shakes her head no. He takes her back to HEAVEN with him. When Min Ho gets home, he finds clothes on the floor and Ji Kyung missing. He can't reach her so he heads over to HEAVEN to see if Kang has her home address. Kang tells Min Ho that he took Ji Kyung back. Kang tells Min Ho that it wasn't right for Ji Kyung to work for him since he is Ji Hyun's fiance. Min Ho tells Kang that he's already given up on Ji Hyun. But that he's no interested in Ji Kyung and only hired her because he felt responsible for her being fired from HEAVEN.

Seo Woo and In Jung go to HEAVEN to celebrate Kang's birthday. Ji Kyung returns the thermos she got from In Jung at Min Ho's. In Jung asks to speak with her outside. In Jung asks Ji Kyung not to tell anyone she was at Min Ho's. Ji Kyung says she doesn't understand why she can't say anything, if In Jung was just running an errand. That it must be because In Jung and min Ho are lovers. In Jung tries to deny it but Ji Kyung says not to worry. That she won't say anything to anyone.

When In Jung and Seo Woo get home, In Jung gets a text from Min Ho asking her to meet him in the park. Min Ho says he knows that In Jung sent Kang to their place. In Jung says she did it because she didn't like Ji Kyung being there. Seo Woo watches them from a safe distance.

Min Ho tells Ji Hyun's dad that he knows he's sick and should get the surgery. Ji Hyun's dad plans to the leave the company to Min Ho in his will.

Ji Kyung meets with some of Ji Hyun's friends. She's able to get them to cry, but none of them shed pure tears for her. After Ji Kyung gets back to HEAVEN, Seo Woo arrives to tell Kang that Ji Hyun's dad is leaving the company to Min Ho. Ji Kyung runs off without a word. She makes a deal with Death that will allow her to touch someone as Ji Hyun once but a day will be subtracted from the amount of days she has left. The chef's wife and a co-worker see Ji Kyung talking by herself, since they can't see Death, and return to HEAVEN saying that Ji Kyung must have gone crazy.

Ji Kyung has a messenger deliver a package to Ji Hyun's dad containing a newspaper article about a woman who woke up from a coma after 20 years. Even after Ji Hyun knocks away his seal to keep him from signing the will, Ji Hyun's dad was going to sign it anyway. Death knocks down Ji Hyun's photo which makes Ji Hyun's dad reconsider. Death gets in trouble with his superior for interfering.

Yi Kyung wakes up and finds her front door open. She then goes to call Kyung Bin. Ji Hyun gets left behind. Kang goes to Yi Kyung's home but no one answers. Yi Kyung meets with Kyung Bin to discuss the strange that have been happening to her lately. He tells her he thinks she's sleepwalking.

Ji Kyung arrives at HEAVEN the next day and finds the place empty. When Kang arrives, he hears Ji Kyung playing a song on the piano that Ji Hyun played when they were in school. He goes up to her and asks if she's Ji Hyun.

---------------------------------------------------------

Even before Yi Kyung met with Kyung Bin, I figured he was going to tell her she is sleepwalking. Makes more sense to come to that conclusion than to think she's crazy and needs to be put in a clinic immediately.

Oh, snap. Ji Kyung is in trouble now.

Didn't you just LOVE Ban Hyo-jung as the reaper's supervisor? Wasn't she fabulous? I don't always like her work, but when she hits it (and usually it's in scenes like this where she's dressing someone down), she really hits it.

But I don't think In-kyung picked up that news article on purpose--she just happened to get one that was appropriate. (Or maybe someone "helped" her.) Also, isn't that company (on the envelope) the one that Minho is dealing with?

I like the sleepwalking solution, too. It's simple and keeps the action going--like having Yikyung lose her job when the owner should actually have been grateful to her and keep her on.

I like that Ji-kyung is being so playful with Injung, making her feel nervous. Injung deserves to be nervous.

Snap! is right. Now what?

I think she did pick it up on purpose.

Yes, that's why it was thought to be urgent.

I guess it's a possibility, I may look at that scene again.
