Heavenly Ever After Episode 6 opens on a dramatic note: Ko Nak-jun, engulfed in flames, leaps into molten lava—only to wake up in the last place anyone expected—heaven. He’s soon joined by Hae-suk and Young-ae, whose flashbacks shed light on their reentry. Hae-suk, having shed a single tear, reduced her karmic scale below 50, while Young-ae’s scale, shockingly, shows a flawless zero.

Mistaken Identities and Shifting Truths

Nak-jun finds the two women together and immediately explains how he risked everything—literally jumping into hellfire—for Hae-suk. But in typical Hae-suk fashion, she remains detached. The trio discusses Young-ae’s time in hell, and when Hae-suk confronts her about being Som-I, Young-ae denies it outright. Instead, she reveals that she had her own accident after Hae-suk’s death, meaning she couldn’t have been Som-I.

This realization shakes Hae-suk, who finally understands she’s been projecting her guilt and pain onto the wrong person. They head to the support center together and locate the real Som-I. With no place to go and memory fragmented, the group brings her home while waiting for her recollections to resurface.

Rules Broken and Good Deeds Forgotten

Nak-jun, though back in heaven, is temporarily suspended for his unauthorized descent into hell. Hae-suk tries to help him by pleading with the president for reinstatement, but he refuses, citing Nak-jun’s reckless breach of heavenly protocol. She also presses the issue of her missing karmic points. The president points her toward a special orientation tablet that stores forgotten good deeds.

Meanwhile, Jjajang returns from hell and catches up with his two close friends. In a heartfelt twist, he intentionally scares them away from joining him in the wilderness, hoping they’ll stay safe with the kindly pastor who once sheltered them.

A Tablet of Memories and a Life Saved

Hae-suk and Young-ae retrieve the forgotten-deeds tablet just as a young man arrives. He turns out to be someone whose funeral Hae-suk had once attended—not out of compassion, but to chase a debt. However, a flashback reveals a moment of unexpected kindness: Hae-suk had given him two meals, one for that day and one for tomorrow. That simple gesture gave him the strength to keep going.

He tearfully thanks her, and one of the corn-shaped icons on the tablet disappears—her forgotten good deed finally acknowledged.

Love, Grief, and a Whisper from the Departed

Elsewhere, Nak-jun receives a new task from the president. He attends the wedding of a heaven-dweller’s daughter and delivers a bankbook left by the bride’s late mother. It’s an emotional reminder of the love parents carry beyond the grave, as the mother had scrimped and saved for her children even after passing on.

Hae-suk also visits the soul of a woman who had died by suicide. A touching flashback shows Hae-suk ensuring the woman had a respectful funeral—a final act of dignity for someone the world had overlooked. The woman expresses gratitude, giving Hae-suk the closure she didn’t know she needed.

Pastor, Snails, and Home

Back on earth, the pastor patiently waits for Hae-suk at the church. They share a meal of snails—simple, nourishing, and symbolic. It’s a dish that once sustained Hae-suk during her lowest point. Their quiet connection culminates in a tender moment as the pastor gives her a piggyback ride home. It’s intimate without romance, powerful in its kindness.

A Fragmented Memory Returns

The episode closes with Nak-jun escorting Som-I to the living world, fulfilling her request. But when he steps into a store, Som-I spots a t-shirt featuring the very girl from her recurring dream—the one dancing on the beach. Her reaction is immediate and visceral. Panic grips her as pieces of her lost past start to break through.

Conclusion:

Heavenly Ever After Episode 6 blends emotional revelation with the quiet magic of redemption. From Hae-suk’s rediscovered good deeds to Nak-jun’s continued devotion, every character inching toward growth feels earned. The series continues to explore the afterlife not just as a place of judgment, but as a landscape for unfinished business, second chances, and overdue grace. As Som-I’s mystery deepens, the show leaves us on the edge—not just of answers, but of healing.
