Julian encounters Stella wandering around campus. He can oddly communicate with her even though she’s a cat so the two have a talk about Amelia. Julian promises to give Stella his wifi account and password to use if Stella reveals to him details about Amelia. Stella follows through with the offer and reveals to Julian that Amelia likes peaches. As Julian promised, he hands Stella his wifi account and password afterwards.

Doctor Charlotte visits Bora’s coffee shop to see for herself who this Grandma Amelia Luca has been talking to her about is. Grandma Amelia recognizes Doctor Charlotte upon greeting her and recalls her as the lady Luca was walking with on campus the day before. Doctor Charlotte orders some coffee herself brewed by Grandma Amelia and leaves shortly afterwards. She’s tempted to say something to Grandma Amelia before leaving, but she changes her mind. Grandma Amelia too wants to say something to Doctor Charlotte, but she holds back as well.

In a conversation with Bora, Grandma Amelia worries whether Luca will find her pretty or not. She also feels inferior and insecure to Doctor Charlotte. Bora comments that humans have their own lives to live and worry about, but Grandma Amelia shouldn’t worry too much about Doctor Charlotte. Rumor has it that Luca’s never dated anyone.

Speaking of Luca, he takes another sip of Amelia’s coffee and finds it refreshing even after hours of sitting cold on his desk. Meanwhile, Stella returns back home and complains to Amelia about her condition. She finds it frustrating that she transforms from a human to a cat unexpectedly and has no control over her transformation. Amelia encourages Stella to continue her training so that she can control her powers. Plus, as long as she doesn’t drink, she should be safe for now.

After complimenting the new dresser that Amelia made for her, Stella shares with her mom about her most recent interaction with Julian. They both find it fascinating that he was able to read her mind and communicate with her when she was a cat. Stella’s rest in the room is short-lived as Amelia suggests they go out to get their hair done.

Seoul is an unfamiliar place to our mother-daughter pair as evident by all the weird stares they receive from passerby’s in and outside of the hair salon. Grandma Amelia ends up scrubbing her own hair with the shampoo even though the hair stylist was supposed to handle the task. She also has trouble understanding the Seoul dialect. Eventually, Amelia pays for the service and returns back home with the new make-over. Amelia must have gotten the new hair-do because she wanted to look good for Luca.

Julian researches some information about peaches which he plans on buying for Amelia and also gathers details on this ‘time of the dog’ phrase which Amelia used earlier when talking to Luca. Luca himself is curious about what time exactly the phrase is referring to and even goes as far as to asking a professor from the history department about it. All Luca knows is that the time interval for the phrase is between 7PM-9PM so he heads out to the coffee shop at 7PM to speak with Amelia like she requested.

However, when Luca arrives at the coffee shop, he finds Julian already there interacting with Grandma Amelia. He’s able to drive Julian away so that he can talk with Grandma Amelia in private like how she had requested. When it’s just the two of them, Grandma Amelia shares with Luca a story about her late husband that occurred 699 years ago. He was just a normal woodcutter who was working day and night to feed himself. However, one day in the mountains, he encountered a deer frantically running away from a hunter so he helped the deer hide from the hunter.
