'The Atypical Family' dives into Gwi-ju's tragic past in Episode 3. Obsessed with time travel to save a friend, he neglected his family, leading to his wife leaving him. We also discover the family's unique abilities.
Mysterious Da-hae stirs things up. She claims Gwi-ju gave her flowers from a future event but he struggles to accept this. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bok (Go Doo-shim) tries to integrate Da-hae by inviting her to live with them.
In the present, Da-hae attempts to win over the family by cooking meals, but no one joins her. We see Bok In-a's power when Da-hae compliments her eyes. In-a, afraid of accidentally hearing thoughts, avoids eye contact. A boy, however, makes eye contact and thinks she's pretty, causing In-a to see the world in a new light.
Bok Dong-hee's (Claudia Kim) story unfolds too. We see her past as a model who could fly, now a stark contrast to her present struggles. Her fiancé is cheating on her, and her mother is selling their apartment. Enraged, Dong-hee throws her cheating fiancé out.
Back at the Bok household, tensions rise when Dong-hee arrives. Da-hae, suspicious of her motives, tries to stop her from drinking drugged tea meant for Mrs. Bok. To prove her wrong, Da-hae drinks it herself. Gwi-ju, meanwhile, finds the flowers Da-hae claimed he gave her. He contemplates buying them, then time travels back to a date with Da-hae.
Here, things get stranger. Gwi-ju saves Da-hae from a bike accident, and to his surprise, he can touch her while time-traveling. Da-hae witnesses Dong-hee levitate slightly, freaking out and running upstairs. Gwi-ju catches her from falling, but when she looks back, he's vanished. The episode ends with a bewildered Da-hae screaming in confusion.
