My Demon Episode 13 Recap
The episode opens with Cheon-sook confessing something in a church. From her words, we get a feeling that she might be the one who caused the accident of Do-hee’s parents. After that, we see Gu-won taking Do-hee to his office and having some sweet moments where he even conjures fireflies. He promises to himself that this time, he will not make Do-hee miserable.
Perhaps this is why he goes to god again to ask for help, but he gets just advice from her, “happiness can also be poisonous”. Later in their home, Do-hee and Gu-won spend more romantic moments where they enjoy homemade food. On their way to the office, Do-hee becomes sad again as she sees an accident with which she remembers the fate of her own parents.
To know more about this, Gu-won goes to Seok-hoon and gets details on how Do-hee’s relatives abandoned her after taking all her money after her parents died. It is only later with Cheon-sook does she opens up. Now that she’s gone, Do-hee feels miserable again. In the office, we see Seok-min scrapping the important rules that Cheon-sook made for her worker’s safety and establishing his own laws. His wife, on the other hand, is still guilt-stricken and relies heavily on sleeping pills to forget about her son’s death.
In their home, when Do-hee was having a nightmare about her parents leaving her, Gu-won gave her a sweet dream where she could spend her Christmas with her loved ones. The next morning, Do-hee accepts that saw a great dream, and she and her husband make plans to spend Christmas together and enjoy more loving moments. Other than them, the relationship between Bok-gyu and Da-jeong is also thriving where they try their best to keep their rendezvous a secret from Da-jeong’s co-workers. We also see Ga-young leaving Gu-won as she understands her wrongdoings and wishes to move on from her feelings.
After that, Seok-min invites Do-hee to a family get-together with which he wishes to bridge the gap between them. Somewhere else, Gu-won rushes to make a contract with a gambler so that he doesn’t combust in flames. But his delinquent followers witness the entire scene and come to know about his identity. They become more of his fans.
Somewhere else, Se-ra finds out about the book on demons and gets caught by her husband, who menacingly asks her how long has she known about his deeds. That night Gu-won and Do-hee attend the family dinner with Seok-min, and it ends in a disaster. He asks everyone to transfer their shares to him. But almost everyone says no to this deal, due to which Seok-min swears to stop being kind.
Later, when Seok-hoon gets to know about Seok-min’s menacing changes in the company, he goes to confront him but is kicked out as the CEO instead. Gu-won, on the other hand, decides to get back the demon manual book and heads to the hospital where Seok-min is keeping his wife, as a prisoner. Gu-won tells her to speak the truth about the book’s location so that she can escape her own hell.
While Gu-won is here, Do-hee gets to know about what Seok-min is doing from Seok-hoon and rushes to Seok-min to confront him. She figures out that, he is the actual Abraxas and blames him for murdering his own son and mother. Seok-min acknowledges everything and also reveals how it was his mother who killed Do-hee’s parents, and as proof, he even displays a voice recording proving his mother’s fight with her parents. Do-hee refuses to believe such a thing, and Seok-min suddenly chokes her in order to kill her.

My Demon Episode 13 Review
The first half of this episode was pretty laid back and filled with rom-com moments. You get the romantic angle of not just our main couple, but also Bok-gyu and Da-jeong.
It is in the second half that things get interesting as we realise why Seok-min was trying to be so considered to Do-hee. And the last revelation was really something that caught me off guard. Now, what happens to Do-hee, we will have to find out in the next episode.
The series is streaming on Netflix right now.
