In the episode aired on the 31st, Pal Mi-ho (played by Lee Si-woo) proposes a plan to revert Eun-ho (played by Kim Hye-yoon) back to a gumiho and alter Kang Si-yeol's (played by Lomon) fate. Mi-ho suggests becoming a gumiho herself to swap destinies with Eun-ho, who can then change the fates of Kang Si-yeol and Hyun Woo-seok (played by Jang Dong-joo). Despite Eun-ho's initial resistance due to painful memories of 'Geum-ho', she recalls Geum-ho's words, "I lived my life," and decides to proceed. The episode reached a peak viewership rating of 5.3% according to Nielsen Korea.
Mi-ho's sudden appearance creates tension among Eun-ho, Kang Si-yeol, and Hyun Woo-seok. Woo-seok questions Eun-ho about the possibility of not returning to being a gumiho, prompting a sharp response from Eun-ho. She instructs Mi-ho to erase Woo-seok's memories, wary of his dangerous desires. However, Mi-ho's abilities may not permanently erase Woo-seok's memories, necessitating a return to the original state.
Mi-ho's solution involves swapping destinies with Eun-ho. Although currently lacking one tail, Mi-ho believes she can gain the necessary powers once she becomes a gumiho. Eun-ho realizes this is part of Pa-gun's (played by Joo Jin-mo) plan and questions Mi-ho's determination to become human. Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol debate the pros and cons of Mi-ho becoming human, with Eun-ho highlighting the harsh realities and Kang Si-yeol the joys of human life.
Mi-ho's bucket list includes visiting an amusement park, a dream she fulfills with Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol. Mi-ho is visibly thrilled, and Kang Si-yeol shares a heartfelt moment with Eun-ho, expressing how special the day was. He notices Eun-ho's red heels and reassures her, "You're my only ally in this world right now. I'll worry about you, and you worry about me."
Eun-ho contemplates Mi-ho's desire to become human. Mi-ho expresses her wish to live a memorable life, even if it's short, filled with genuine experiences. Eun-ho recalls Geum-ho's advice to live her life without regrets.
Eun-ho decides to swap destinies with Mi-ho, but Mi-ho must first become a gumiho to reverse Kang Si-yeol and Hyun Woo-seok's fates. To expedite the process, Eun-ho takes on good deeds on Mi-ho's behalf. However, Kang Si-yeol criticizes Eun-ho's methods, comparing them to breaking a swallow's leg to fix it. During their argument, they hear about a fire at a nearby orphanage and rush in to save the children.
The episode ends with Eun-ho waking up in a hospital, worried about Kang Si-yeol, who risked his life to save her. Hearing his voice, she is overwhelmed with relief and embraces him, highlighting their deepening bond. Meanwhile, the ominous actions of Jang Do-cheol (played by Kim Tae-woo) and Lee Yoon (played by Choi Seung-yoon) continue to loom, adding intrigue to the unfolding romance.
