Principal Yoon Sung Dong (it took me six episodes to find out his name) keeps calling Dylan Park by his Dong Joo name, all within hearing distance of Soo Wan. She starts walking towards Dong Joo to confront him, only to conveniently pass out from her illness.
While Soo Wan is recovering from her fever, Dong Joo must leave his post in ER in order to work in a required Kdrama rooftop scene. Just as Dong Joo is talking to himself about how he can't do this anymore, we see the feet of some other man coming to join him.
Soo Wan returns to the ER to tell Doctor Dylan they must talk. Once again he leaves his post as they both return to the steep steps where they had their first kiss. (Um, so who is taking care of the ER all these times Dong Joo is AWOL?) After feeling up his face (and spreading her germs), Soo Wan gives Dong Joo a weak slap and then she starts crying hysterically. BTW, did I forget to mention she's wearing some fugly shoes?
Anyway, after crying until nightfall, Soo Wan asks him where his mother is. Dong Joo silently takes her to Jung Hwa's grave. Soo Wan tearfully apologizes to "Mom" for not knowing.
Meanwhile, Ji Woon is unable to find his fiancée. He takes her friend, Min Soo, out for dinner instead. He confesses he knows deep down that Soo Wan still has feelings for her long lost first love and he's feeling a little bit threatened.
Dong Joo reverts back to his jerk act, telling Soo Wan he was so busy studying to be a doctor that he totally forgot about her. A flashback shows us what we already knew: that it was Dr. Evil who was up there on the hospital roof with Dong Joo.
Soo Wan's dad sort of comes clean on some things. Like how he knows about Soo Wan and Dong Joo's earlier relationship. Dr. Evil also finally tells Dong Joo that his mother was Soo Wan's donor. (He leaves out the whole part about letting Jung Hwa die so Soo Wan could get those eyes.) Dr. Evil convinces the soft-headed Dong Joo that it would be in Soo Wan's best interest to not tell her the truth.
The next day at the police station, Min Soo is looking into the records of Jung Hwa's hit and run accident. Seeing his name listed on the report helps Min Soo have an epiphany that Dong Joo and Dylan Park are one and the same. She goes down to the hospital to sucker punch Dong Joo in the jaw. (Making up for Soo Wan's weak-ass slap from earlier.)
After calming down a bit, Min Soo and Dong Joo sit down to discuss his mother's case. Naturally the statute of limitation are about to run out. Min Soo leaves to go visit Kim Woo Chul. She finds her old mentor writhing in pain on the floor but he orders her not to call for an ambulance. She manoeuvers around this demand by not calling an ambulance but instead calling Dong Joo in for a house call. So once again Dong Joo just walks away from his job at the hospital.
After treating the ailing ex detective (without telling us what was wrong with him), Woo Chul recognizes Dong Joo and apologizes for not being able to find any leads concerning Mom's accident.
Elsewhere during all this, Ji Woon and Soo Wan have been out on a date. Knowing the necklace she's wearing used to belong to her first love, Ji Woon gives Soo Wan another necklace. He hopes she'll take off the whistle necklace and put on his star necklace. Then he moves in for a kiss and gets Ye Olde Head Turn. (They're engaged and they haven't even kissed?)
The next day, Dr. Evil takes matters into hand. He presses a plane ticket to Boston on Dong Joo and announces he's already put the paperwork into motion for Dong Joo's transfer. The younger man begs for just six more months in Korea. Dr. Evil falls to his knees and begs Dong Joo to leave Soo Wan alone.
At his closet-size apartment, Woo Chul thinks back to when he first started investigating the hit and run. He had been pressured by higher-ups to close the case early. Woo Chul's reminiscence is interrupted by a visit from Dong Joo. The doctor has dropped by with some stew to share. Not just any stew, though. Dong Joo had visited the restaurant newly opened by Woo Chul's ex-wife. The detective immediately recognizes his ex-wife's cooking.
Later, Soo Wan once again tries to connect with Dong Joo. He coldly insists she call him Dylan Park and to leave their old love back in the past where it belongs.
Dr. Oh (as in Oh No!) is delighted to hear Dylan Park will be leaving the hospital soon. She asks Dr. Evil to put her darling boy, Ji Woon, in charge of the ER department after Dylan is gone.
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of basketball and bromance. Ji Woon and Dong Joo have a rematch.
The next day Dong Joo packs his one suitcase (DramaKoreans always travel light) and says a final goodbye to his mother's grave, asking her spirit to keep watch over Soo Wan.
Dr. Evil receives another phone call from Choi Jin Sang. Oh, now I remember who this is. He was another doctor working under Dr. Evil back when Jung Hwa was brought in. He saw Dr. Evil allow Dong Joo's mother to die. I smell blackmail in the works.
Soo Wan learns about Dong Joo resigning from the hospital. She starts running all over town looking for him. Is she on duty? Is she just as bad as Dong Joo about leaving work? Anyway, she finds the flowers he left as Jung Hwa's grave along with the antique Ipod they used to share.
Soo Wan catches a cab and dashes off to the airport. During the ride she listens to the Ipod and all the recorded messages Dong Joo made to her over the years. "Forgot all about you" my ass. She runs around the airport searching for Dong Joo. Unable to find him, she pulls out the whistle necklace he gave her and starts blowing on it.
There he is, not ten feet away from you. You didn't need to blow that whistle after all.
