Picking up where episode 6 left off, Miss Night and Day episode 7 throws our
protagonist Mi-Jin, still grappling with her daytime transformation into Im Sun,
into a whirlwind of near misses, deepening connections, and shocking
discoveries.
The episode opens with Ji-Ung, seemingly oblivious to Mi-Jin's secret, vowing to wait for her to confide in him. Meanwhile, as Im Sun, she uses her senior status to manipulate Ji-Ung's superior into changing a company dinner to an earlier time, ensuring she'll be Mi-Jin by nightfall.
However, trouble brews as Ko Won, a suspicious celebrity, starts digging into Im Sun's past. He tails her, noticing a young woman with a similar scar – the same woman he once mistook for Im Sun. This encounter fuels his suspicion that Im Sun harbors a secret.
Back on Mi-Jin's side, a car chase leaves her shaken. She calls Ji-Ung for help, but relief turns to unease when the car reappears parked outside her house the next morning.
The episode throws in a few intriguing twists. At the company dinner, Im Sun surprises everyone with her dance moves. Later, a mysterious man approaches her in the restroom, but she can't see his face. On Ji-Ung's side, a meeting with a detective assigned to his mother's case years ago triggers flashbacks. He also becomes suspicious of a seemingly harmless senior citizen intern, Baek Cheol-Gyu.
As the night deepens, a drunken Im Sun wrestles with her identity – should she call Ji-Ung as Im Sun or Mi-Jin, knowing she'll transform soon? The unanswered call sends Ji-Ung rushing to her location, using the GPS tracker he secretly placed on Mi-Jin's phone.
Meanwhile, Ko Won, seemingly having unraveled the truth about Im Sun/Mi-Jin, urges her to leave the dinner early. He leans in close, whispering, "The sun will set soon," leaving a bewildered Im Sun speechless.
Just as Ji-Ung arrives, the episode reaches its dramatic climax. Im Sun faints, collapsing into Ko Won's arms. The final scene shows a devastated Ji-Ung witnessing this scene, his heart yearning for a woman seemingly embraced by another man.
