In present Seoul,

A car hits a woman and squeals away, leaving her bleeding in the snow. It's the same woman who had chatted with Samshin Grandma about the goblin, and she begs for help

"If there is a god, please save me."

Shin initially ignores it, but the words ring in his ear and send him to the woman in the snow. He says it's his rule not to interfere in the life and death of humankind, but when she sobs that she can't die like this, he realizes that she's not begging to save her own life. The woman clutches her belly and begs,

"Just the child..."

She goes prone, and Shin says she's lucky to have met a weak-hearted god who doesn't want to see anyone die tonight. He kneels down and hovers a hand over her face, and wisps of blue energy flow out. She gasps awake, alive.

By the time the grim reaper makes his way to the pool of blood, he finds no body.

(Goblin ( Kdrama ) - Amnesia ( Instrumental OST - BGM OST ) plays when Grim reaper comes to the accident area)

He checks his death cards of a 27-year-old woman and an unnamed unborn.

A short while later, the revived woman gives birth to a girl. She doesn't see the crowd of ghosts hovering outside her window, whispering,

"The goblin's bride."

Eight years later in a seaside town, the baby is now a young girl, PARK JI YEON, with a birthmark on her neck. The girl asks for a birthday cake this year to wish on, and Mom happily agrees. But her eyes turn sad when Ji Yeon spots a puppy on the beach and pets it-because to her eyes, there is no puppy. Ji Yeon is petting empty air.

Later when Ji Yeon comes home from school, her mother has a birthday cake waiting. Ji Yeon chatters as she lights the candles, but then sees something and freezes. She starts to cry, saying, "It's not you. It's not really Mom, it's Mom's spirit."

Mom says,

"You really do see everything. I'd hoped you didn't."

([Goblin Ost Part11] And I'm Here - Kim Kyung Hee starts playing in background when the daughter sees her mother's spirit)

Ji Yeon asks if her mother is dead, and Mom nods.

Mom has only just died, and she tells Ji Yeon what to expect when the hospital calls to let her know. She tells her to stay warm, and to never meet ghosts' eyes in the future.

Ji Yeon apologizes for seeing ghosts,

"But because I can see those things, I can see you like this."

Mom senses her time running out and tells Ji Yeon she loves her. They exchange tearful goodbyes, and then Mom's spirit fades away.

When the hospital call comes, Ji Yeon bundles up in Mom's big red scarf to head out, and tells her cake that she won't make any wishes

"Nobody listens anyway. Who would I wish to?"

Mom's spirit visits Samshin Grandma to ask her to check in on Ji Yeon from time to time. Grandma grumps that Mom should have died with the girl in the past, instead of living on. Mom protests that Grandma was the one who told her to wish to the gods, then thanks her and says goodbye.

Eun-tak steps outside and talks to the man standing there, and only realizes her mistake when Reaper asks curiously,

"You see me?"

She tries to pretend she didn't, but the Reaper makes the connection, guessing that she was the one who wasn't meant to be born.

Before Reaper can claim her, Samshin Grandma appears to tell Reaper to leave her alone. Reaper calls it obstruction of justice and is intent on rectifying the old error, but Grandma points out that the child marked for death had no name, but this child has one. She demands a death card with this girl's name on it.

Reaper grimaces, since that'll be a bureaucratic hassle. But Granny refuses to back down, so he grits his teeth and tells Ji Yeon he'll be seeing her again.

Granny tells Ji Yeon to move away quickly, so that Reaper won't be able to find her. She also tells her to go with the

"one male, two females"

who will show up at the funeral.

Ji Yeon asks why Granny is helping her, and Granny replies,

"I was happy when you came into existence."

She gives her a head of cabbage as a birthday present and leaves.

As Granny walks along the bridge, she crosses paths with a schoolboy.

We transition to ten years later, and Granny transforms into a beautiful woman, and the schoolboy becomes twentysomething Deok-hwa .

Young Granny catches Deok-hwa's eye, and he asks her out for a drink.

At home, Shin idly flips through a book while, on speakerphone, panicked-sounding

"nephew"

Deok-hwa begs him to pick up, because his credit card suddenly stopped working, and the unfriendly men at the bar aren't very pleased about it. Shin doesn't seem inclined to help.
