They decide to search his home first. Turns out he’s gone to see his mom and sister, apalled when he discovers his sister didn’t end up getting married and his mother is sick still missing him terribly. 

Meanwhile, Han Bom catches Seung Hoon following her and asks him why but he mistakenly blurts out that Kim Yoon Cheol is looking for her which causes Han Bom to be totally shocked. Kim Yoon Cheol follows his sister Kim Yoon hee to her work place and witnesses her being treated horribly by her ex boyfriend who is also her co worker. He gives her his wedding invitation and mocks her severely, saying he would have been married into a murderer’s family. He insults Kim Yoon Cheol despite Kim Yoon hee being assured of her brother’s innocence and says he committed suicide out of guilt. This confuses Kim Yoon Cheol as he can’t remember. Unable to see his sister being treated like this, he finally turns into a full blows evil spirit, his powers shaking the foundation of the company building.

He returns to normal, crying that he never committed suicide.

Meanwhile, Ji won is surprised when the part time coffee worker who was nice to her doesn’t recognize her. A friend meets up with her and they catch up, with the friend asking her to go on blind dates but Ji won is still traumatized by the last man who ghosted her. But she is shocked when her friend reveals it’s because he had died and that coincidentally he used to work in her company. Ji won puts two and two together and after questioning her colleagues realises that the famous ghost of the office Seung Hoon was her chat buddy.

Meanwhile, at the studio, Yoon Cheol explains how he was set up. His sister was getting married and the in-laws were demanding thirty million won as dowry. Due to this, he was convinced by his two partners to rob the empty vacation home because they had someone, a friend from high school who could assure them of their safety but on getting there, he discovered they were already murdered. Ki Joo then asks how he managed to come to the studio after three years and he replied that a man led him there. The man had told him he was a photographer. Ki Joo immediately shows him the pictures of all the photographers but after seeing his uncle’s picture, Kim Yoon Cheol confirms he was the one.

After this, Ki Joo locks himself in his room for four hours, making the others worried for him. When he finally comes out, he acts as if nothing happened and tells the others that he would investigate the vacation home and find Kim Yoon Cheol’s killer no matter how long it takes since it’s his uncle’s last wish. But to his surprise, Han Bom boards the bus with him. Although she’s still angry with him, she wants to do her bit per their contract. 

Seung Hoon is afraid of being left alone with Kim Yoon Cheol but the beautiful night scenery distracts him. Just as he’s gazing at the moon, Ji won joins him.

Meanwhile, Han Bom and Ki Joo who were sitting apart in the bus had to sit together when Han Bom is nearly attacked by a ghost. They arrive at the vacation home. Seeing the gate is locked, Ki Joo climbs over it causing Han Bom to fear until he points out the faulty cameras around them. They start to investigate but Han Bom tells Ki Joo to stop pretending to be fine, knowing his only family member is dead but he insists he’s okay.  However, they are nearly caught but they quickly hide at the kitchen only to discover a secret back door leading to the woods. They realise that the killer must have escaped through here.

This must have been a plan from the very beginning because Han Bom recalls that prosecutor Lee never allowed her to investigate the owner of the vacation home Kim Seong Soo and had her close the case. The two return to the studio and gather with the others. Nam ku who has done his own research reveal that the reporter and detective who had concluded the case as suicide now worked for Kang il goo law firm and the one who helped them get hired was Prosecutor Lee who was now the current minister of justice.

Meanwhile, Nam ku follows his wife around realising that she lived a very lonely life that even her neighbors had thought she wasn’t married until he had died. She had even moved into their home alone when they should have done it together. Now, she’s packing out and Nam ku gets so angry when he sees Mi hyeon arrive to help her out. He listens to their conversation as Mi hyeon tries to convince his wife Na rae to be with him, saying that he had always been there for her, when she moved in, during her birthdays, even when she was rushed into the emergency room because she was sick. Her husband was never there because he cared more about other things than her. Nam Ku cries, recognizing that what he said was true.

A criminal who was being arrested by police suddenly gets posessed by the shadow of death. He beats up the police man and proceeds to attack Ki Joo when he finds him, causing him to run for his life.
