Does it mean Bit-Na will die? Mi-Ja tells Da-On that she knows his parents were good people. She reveals someone asked her to protect him. He realizes that the people were his parents. He leaves Mi-Ja’s house. Mi-Ja looks herself in the mirror. We see a young girl’s face. She blows out the candle.

Man-Do explains that Bit-Na is sick. But Bit-Na shows up. Landlady is happy for Bit-Na’s coming. The group walks in the woods. Da-On volunteers to help Bit-Na carry her bag since she was sick. But she rejects it because she thinks she’s stronger than him. She thinks he’s very fake because he cares for her when he suspects her.
Landlady, Jung-Im and Min-Joon reach the mountain top. Man-Do takes photos of them. Da-On and Bit-Na are on the mountain top as well. Da-On asks Bit-Na what kind of demon she is. He thanks her for saving Da-Hee. He reveals Da-Hee isn’t his real sister.
He explains it to her that his family was killed because of him so that he told her that he killed three people. She tells him that he didn’t kill his family because he’s in hell if he did so. He tells her that he believes in her. But she asks him not to do that.

Bit-Na carries Da-On home. She puts him on the bed. She tries to leave. But he grabs her arm for stopping her. He knows she’s a good girl because he saved Da-Hee. So she asks him why he suspects her. He knows she did it. He hopes she didn’t do that. Because he doesn’t want to arrest her.
Bit-Na lets Da-On’s hand go. She tries to take a cover from his wardrobe. But the cola can falls to the floor. She picks up the can and she remembers she gave the can to Da-On.

Man-Do decides to accept the punishment. Bit-Na stops him. She tells him that Da-On picked up the can he threw away. He points out that the cop cannot prove she killed Ja-Young.

She asks A-Rong if she found the witness of the serial murder. A-Rong reveals the witness was sent to the orphanage. She promises to get the information of the witness. She plans to maim the cop when she holds the hammer. But Bit-Na asks her not to touch Da-On. She threatens Man-Do that she won’t give him second chance. She leaves the house.
A-Rong thinks Bit-Na acted strange. She asks Man-Do if Bit-Na cried. She asks him to let her know if the demon cried. Because the demon is useless once she falls for a human. But he points out that they should listen to Bit-Na. She lifts the hammer and she threatens to end his life.
