Episode 7 of 'The Atypical Family' throws a whirlwind of revelations and misunderstandings at Gwi-ju and Da-hae's relationship. The Bok family falls victim to Grace's (Ryu Abel) manipulation, leading to Bok Dong-hee's (Kim Soo-hyun) accident and fueling suspicion towards Da-hae.

This incident exposes the past trauma both Da-hae and Bok I-na (Park So-Yi) share, revealing the abusive nature of Da-hae's mother and Mrs Bok's gambling addiction fueled by her precognitive abilities. However, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerges.

I-na becomes a bridge between the families, revealing the truth about Da-hae's actions and Gwi-ju's time travel limitations (he can only interact with Da-hae in the past).
