Ji-hyun gets her three tears, and the Scheduler marvels, "Wow, you must've lived your life pretty usefully after all." She's in shock, saying, "But there's nobody who'd cry for me," but the Scheduler reminds her how changing their minds (and hearts) are what humans are all about.
He teases, "Don'tcha wanna know whose tears they are?" But she tells him not to tell her: "If I knew, I think I'd only love these three people." Or, put another way, she might harden against everyone whoisn't those three. The Scheduler approves her wise choice.
Just as she's about say her goodbyes to Yi-soo, he starts to fade from her sight, although it's really Spirit Ji-hyun who disappears, leaving the Scheduler behind.
And then...Ji-hyun wakes up!! Eeeeeee!
She opens her eyes to see her mother and Seo-woo sobbing over her, and it's Dad who enters and sees that Ji-hyun's awake. Aw, their happiness is so sweet.
At Heaven, Manager Oh comes upon Yi-kyung as she's leaving, surprised when she tells him that she has no reason to stay anymore. She moves back to her place, which seems sadly empty without her ghost friend anymore.
Manager Oh calls Kang, who's just landed and driving back home, to say worriedly that they must've calculated the days wrong. Worst. Phone call. EVER!
Okay, here's where I know I've got a sadistic streak because knowing that Ji-hyun is safe and sound, I'm giggling like a little fool at how Kang is gonna have to stew a little in his misery - that's what you get for jetting off in secret without so much as a goodbye! But Mom calls Kang right away to let him know that Ji-hyun's awake, and I'm actually a little disappointed he didn't have to suffer a little more.
Ji-hyun's recovery defies medical explanation, and she undergoes tests. Kang arrives as she's in the exam room, and tells Dad the added good news that his father agreed to invest in the company. Her parents are stunned and grateful.
Tests complete, Kang comes by again, entering the room looking thrilled to see her...until he registers that Ji-hyun isn't thrilled back. She says bluntly, "Han Kang, long time no see. But why are you here?" She asks why In-jung and Min-ho aren't here, and Mom trades uncomfortable glances with Seo-woo.
Mom, Seo-woo, and Kang step outside to decide that they shouldn't upset Ji-hyun, and will keep the news of her father's surgery and business troubles a secret from her. Mom assures Kang that she'll tell her how much Kang did for them, but he says sadly that that's not important. Poor crushed Kang-ah. Buck up. Maybe there's a cure for otherworldly amnesia.
Min-ho continues with his plans o' destruction, getting Haemido ready for takeover and readying to resign tomorrow. (Dude, your cover's been blown, and bigtime - why the wait? Are you so OCD that you have to keep to the original timetable, even when Dad already knows he's harboring a viper in his midst? "NO! The schedule says tomorrow!") Plus, news of his villainy has spread throughout the building, so that he attracts scornful stares from other employees. Another businessman makes a disdainful comment about how he doesn't even know his fiancee has woken up.
But instead of heading for the hospital, Min-ho goes to Yi-kyung's place, although he didn't expect it to be occupied. Yi-kyung tells him flatly that Ji-hyun is no longer connected to her and demands he go, leaving his key behind.
Ji-hyun's parents fill her in on what went on during her coma, each joking that they spent more time glued to her bedside than the other. Heh. It's the kind of thing you can joke about when you're so giddy with relief that just about everything is funny and wonderful.
Ji-hyun still finds Kang's presence odd, but her parents assure her how devoted and helpful he was, and she concedes that he stuck by his sense of friendly loyalty - something she's surprised by, but also dismisses as out of character. She tells him he can go now, treating him like a distant acquaintance, and he excuses himself.
