Hi Bye Mama

Eun Sook met Gang Hwa outside the temple. Gang Hwa shared his thoughts with Eun Sook as Yu Ri is to disappear again. Eun Sook opened up about her experience at the start when Yu Ri came back to life. She told him she dreamed every night that Yu Ri bids goodbye and leaves them.

"In my dream, Yu Ri says goodbye and leaves. When I woke up and saw Yu Ri in my arms, I felt relieved. She didn't go, but strangely enough, I have that dream every day. Then this thought came to my mind. My daughter came back to say goodbye to everyone. Prepares me if that happens through my dreams as she bids farewell. If that's the case, when that time comes, I will say goodbye to my daughter with a smile," Eun Sook warmly told Gang Hwa.

Min Jeong asked Gang Hwa to meet them in the hospital as Seo Woo was admitted. Gang Hwa apologized to Min Jeong as they met after what happened for the past days. Min Jeong looked at him and was glad to know that he now expresses his feelings more.
Min Jeong walked away with a request, "Yu Ri, give her a good send-off. Put your heart into it and do the best you can. Have no regrets."

Eun Sook cooked Yu Ri's favorite seaweed soup. She apologized to Yu Ri for the past five years she never let go of her and cried many times. Yu Ri hugged her mother and thanked her for all her sacrifice.

Gang Hwa returned home and whispered to Seo Woo while asleep about her pretty auntie as her real mother.

Yu Ri started to list down all her to-do lists. First, to treat her ghosts friends to a sumptuous dinner. They felt so happy and bid farewell with each other. Second, to let JungPil eat the homecooked meal at her parent's house. Yu Ri thanked JungPil's ghost family for protecting Seo Woo from the exorcist. Third, enjoy a day as any normal mother does with their children. Yu Ri bought a sweet, cold snack and shared it with Seo Woo.

The fourth one is to spend quality time with her family. Yu Ri spent a whole day with her father, sister, mother, and Seo Woo at the park.

Fifth, bid farewell to her closest friends and loved ones. Hyun Jong's family, Gang Hwa, and Seo Woo, took her to camp. They sang their favorite song and prepared their food together. Yu Ri dreamed of bringing Seo Woo to a camping experience before she died. She spent a happy, memorable time with her families.

Yu Ri had the chance to talk with Gang Hwa again. She thanked him for taking care of their daughter. She reminded him that every time he thinks of her, he should put a smile on his face instead of tears.

Gang Hwa made his last words to Yu Ri, "I will remember you, I will only cherish the happy memories. I will do that always."

The next day, Eun Sook saw the beautiful white cherry blossoms blooming in her front yard. She thought of Yu Ri and kept her memories in her heart.

Yu Ri bade farewell to Seo Woo and hugged her tight. Seo Woo hugged her back, and, for the first time, told her, "Bye, mama." Yu Ri felt a sense of full joy that Seo Woo called her "mama" before she departed.

Dong Daek sent Yu Ri off while the white cherry blossoms were in full bloom. She gave her a mirror and asked her to say goodbye to her earthly body. Yu Ri held the mirror and said goodbye. She slowly walked away with her meandering thoughts:

"Gang Hwa and Seo Woo, when you go to Heaven, God will ask you two questions. If you answer both questions with yes, you can be reborn to your next life. One question is, were you happy with your life? The other question is, were other people happy because of you? Let's be reborn again as humans and meet again in the next life."

'Flower petals fall, but the flowers endure."

In the latter part of the finale episode, Seo Woo is seen all grown up. She loves reading books. Seated at a park bench, Min Jeong and Gang Hwa picked her up in the same spot where white cherry blossoms bloomed during springtime.
