So we have Ji-hyun at the end of her rope, praying for help from above. She wants to live but despairs of any hope, believing herself unloved and forgotten. And it's then that she gets her Sign - her first tear appears in her necklace.
To answer the question burning in all our minds, we flash back to Kang's discovery of Ji-hyun's seal. He and Manager Oh confirm that it's hers, and try to figure out how it got to Heaven. Since Ji-hyun has never stepped foot inside Kang's personal quarters, he realizes that his niggling feeling about Yi-kyung was right after all, despite her earlier protests to the contrary.
Convinced of his hunch, he hurries to the hospital and tells the unconscious Ji-hyun, "So it was you." And that's when his tear (finally!) falls.
(Thank god! I was afraid they'd drag out this was-it-or-wasn't-it question for the entire episode, which would have driven me batty.)
Curiously, at the same moment that his tear falls - and the necklace gleams - Ji-hyun's vitals spike up for a second on her life-support machinery, just before settling back into their normal pattern.
Taking hold of her hand, Kang whispers, "It's good to see you, Shin Ji-hyun. I have no idea what's going on - but I'm glad to see you."
He hears from the nurse that a young lady had just been here, which makes him guess that it was Yi-kyung. Racing to Ji-hyun's house, he gets the housekeeper's confirmation that a tall, slender friend had recently visited.
Meanwhile, Ji-hyun (as Yi-kyung) walks along happily, thanking the heavens for this one mystery person who loves her. The Scheduler pops up to sing her a congratulations song - replete with pom-poms, a birthday hat, and little-boy short pants. Gah, why so cute?
She grabs him in a hug, and he struggles and sputters, "You're not my type!...I think." Har. If only he knew. In any case, he says they can't display affection, for fear of incurring more celestial penalties. Especially since the sting of that extra week of reaperdom is still fresh.
She guesses her tear came from Seo-woo (the Scheduler sighs that people will believe what they want to believe), and brims with gratefulness at the "one person in the world who loves me."
Ji-hyun wants to thank Seo-woo for the tear, so she drops by the bakery with the excuse that she's here to thank her for the free bread last time. She assures her that even a careless gesture can mean a lot, and that her help came just when she was loneliest. She adds that her hospital-ridden friend is really lucky to have a friend like her. Seo-woo answers that she's the lucky one to have Ji-hyun as her friend, which reinforces Ji-hyun's hunch that the tear came from her.
When In-jung arrives at the bakery, she and Ji-hyun tense to see each other: In-jung's thinking of Yi-kyung being wise to her secret relationship with Min-ho, while Ji-hyun thinks of In-jung plotting to bankrupt her father.
While out of earshot of Seo-woo, Ji-hyun speaks sarcastically and exclaims, "Omo! Your boss's daughter is Kang Min-ho's fiancee. You're too much, Shin In-jung-sshi." In-jung doesn't have the chance to make up any excuses, and is perturbed at the way Yi-kyung shoots her a dark look on her way out.
Min-ho is distracted at work, worried about Yi-kyung hearing In-jung's damning outburst about their evil plot. He's unsettled at leaving the matter unresolved but he can't get a hold of her, nor has he been able to trace her cell phone number - the number exists, but there's no name attached. I suppose it wouldn't do to have it registered to "God."
Kang bursts in to ask if Ji-hyun's been by - by now his conviction that Yi-kyung is Ji-hyun is complete, so he doesn't realize the slip until it's pointed out. He corrects himself and asks after Yi-kyung, gets back a negative, and rushes out as quickly as he came.
