Jennie runs through the streets like a kid in a candy store, zigzagging her way through shops and sights, making Lisa dizzy and exasperated.Lisa notices how happy she looks inside a store filled with Christmas decorations.Jennie loves the falling autumn leaves.

"What are those strange street sign with elves on it?"Jennie asked

"It’s a fairy-sighting district"Lisa answered

"You must very happy to meet a fairy like me"Jennie teased

" Yes I see it"Lisa said and smiled

Lisa tries to catch a falling leaf, which she does with ease.

"If you catch a leaf then the person with you will be who you fall in love with" Jennie said

Jennie dashes to a cute guy. But he turns out to be a ghost which upsets her.Lisa takes her to the Fairmont Hotel Le Chateau Frontenac but doesn’t check into a room.

 
"I have a left meeting"Lisa said

"I don't want to be left in here"Jennie was worried

"You are doing fine exploring just moments ago"Lisa replied

"I am brave coz you were by my side"Jennie added

Lisa is undeterred and leaves for a meeting with Jennie upset that she ditched her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A co-worker and the God of Death Jisoo discuss the final papers for staying in the house. Jisoo has several special clauses that confuse the co-worker.

"Humans call “miracles” a god calls a “special case”"

"God of death like them shouldn’t need a place to live"

A couple comes into the coffee hours arguing as if their life depends on it.Jisoo stares at them. The co-worker recognizes Jisoo was waiting for them.Jisoo puts on her hat and approaches the couple. She reads off her card and confirms who the couple is. We see that the couple are both dead from a car accident.

In the tea room, Jisoo offers the forgetting tea to the woman.

"the tea is tangible proof that the gods are being merciful so she forgets her past life"Jisoo said

"why I don't get any tea?"the man was confused

"this isn’t the first time the you killed someone."Jisoo replied

( the man is the one that ran into Jennie's mother in the parking lot.)

"You'll regret not being able to drink the forgetting tea. Your afterlife will be a living hell. You will be in eternal pain."Jisoo added

The woman quickly downs her tea. The man falls to his knees and begs for mercy. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lisa buried many of her granddaughters here so they could be together. She puts flower on her friend’s grave and tells her and the granddaughters that she’s been unable to rest in peace like them. 

Jennie explores the Fairmont Hotel Le Chateau Frontenac and then takes a walk enjoying the vistas of the St. Lawrence River. She spies a couple kissing. She spots Lisa looks at the grave stones. She lets her have her moment and doesn’t interfere. 

When Lisa finally stands to leave, she spots Jennie. She chides her for not staying quietly at the hotel. She quips she was perfectly quiet because she didn’t even notice her.

"I'll marry Lisa in 200 years,even though she’s a bit crabby she’s still cool." Jennie talking to the gravestones

She walks away and Lisa stares after her. They walk along the street. Lisa tells her she’s late for school. She upset to realize it is 10am in Korea and she’s missing homeroom. They return to Korea. She thanks Lisa for the trip and scampers to school. Lisa watches her jog away.

Waiting at the bus stop Jennke flips through the book on Quebec and she looks at the leaf she pressed between the pages.Jennie looks at the leaf and remembers their moment together in Quebec. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the house Lisa asks Jisoo to follow her. Jisoo isn’t excited about being disturbed but agrees. Lisa steps through a door which is a time portal and ends up in the field where she heard Jennie making her birthday wish. But Jisoo doesn’t follow Lisa. Instead she went through the door and is standing in front of the house.

"Where have you been?" Jisoo asked

"A God can’t follow me through a time portal but she can"Lisa answered

"What are you talking about?"Jisoo was confused

"Just leave me alone!"Lisa yelled

"You are the one to asked me to follow you!!"Jisoo yelled back

Before Jisoo get in the house, Seulgi appears.

"What happened to my aunt?"Seulgi asked

She goes to slap Jisoo on the shoulder but moves out of her reach. Seulgi recalls that Jisoo doesn’t like to be touched. Seulgi finally gets to the point, if his Grandfather appears.

"Please do not mention that you rented the house out from under Lisa"Seulgi begged

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennie stands outside the door that was the time portal to Canada. She tells herself that she’s going to Canada when she opens the door. But no, she ends up in the ladies’ bathroom staring at the lady in red. The lady offers her spinach that a guy just gave her.

"Share this spinach with your family"the lady offered and left

Jennie arrives home to a surly aunt and whiny male cousin who both want her to make supper. She eyes the spinach and makes dinner. Her female cousin bursts out of the bedroom with her Quebec book.

"Jennie is planning to flee to Canada with the insurance money!"her aunt shouted

"that book is only a merely a souvenir"Jennie said
