The Uncanny Counter Season 2 Episode 8 Recap
The Uncanny Counter season 2 episode 8 begins with the face-off between Ha-na and Gelly wherein the latter continues to attack Do-hwi while the former uses her psychokinesis to save. Unfortunately, right when Ha-na is about to gain control, Pil-gwang appears and attacks the two women.
Gelly understands that he wants their powers while Pil-gwang continues his work of finishing the two off. He then notices Do-hwi and moves towards him when Ha-na uses her psychokinesis and escapes from there. The Counters soon arrive at Ha-na’s rescue and Mae-ok saves Do-hwi.
Ha-na then tells her that she will be putting things in their place and decides to save Do-hwi by removing his memories of her. Do-hwi soon returns to his life but without any memory of Ha-na. Meanwhile, Ha-na lives with the pain and the Counters walk on eggshells around her until she assures them that she is alright.

Ha-na then tells them that she looked into Gelly’s memories and found their hideout to be a clean tidy place like a hotel or a resort. However, what she does not know is that Gelly too looked into her memories and found out that went through a rebirth back when she was in a coma.
Meanwhile, So Mun and Jong-beok begin their mission to search for the hideout while Chung-jae tells Lim Jae-youl (the man Mae-ok saved) to trick the woman. Hesitant to do as said, Jae-youl is surprised to find Mae-ok at his house. She helps him prepare for his grandmother’s death anniversary after which he gives her sleeping pills and takes her to the goons hired by Chung-jae.
Mae-ok is shocked by this but does not panic, instead, she calls Mo-tak to the locations as asked by the goons. Mo-tak arrives soon and handles the goons along with Mae-ok; then seeing this as a chance to get to Chung-jae, they make use of the goons. However, Ju-seok has also gotten information about Chung-jae’s location through Jae-youl and heads there.
Ju-seok reaches Chung-jae first and reaches out to kill him when he is intercepted by Mo-tak and Mae-ok. Ju-seok and Mo-tak get into a fight while Mae-ok tries to take Chung-jae as far away from Ju-seok as possible. However, Ju-seok is not easy to handle and soon catches up to the two.
Mo-tak once again intercepts him and gets into a fight with Ju-seok during which Chung-jae escapes, leaving behind a frustrated Ju-seok. He then turns to Pil-hwang and decides that he will now work towards getting rid of the Counters so that they don’t get in his way again. Meanwhile, the Cpunters are glad that Ju-seok is yet to turn around and kill everyone when Mo-tak tells them that his increased rage will only take away his sanity.

The next day, Jong-beok begins searching for the foul smell around hotels while Mo-tak asks So Mun to use psychokinesis against him so that he can use his physical powers to counter it. Suddenly, Jong-beok tells them about a very foul smell near a hotel while Ha-na tells them that Ju-seok has appeared at a hotel.
The Counters soon rush to the hotel where Jong-beok tells them that he had lost the smell. Ha-na has them follow into an elevator and takes them to the floor Ju-seok has gone to. The elevator soon takes them higher and higher during which Jong-beok once again smells Ju-seok and Pil-gwang as well.

So Mun senses that something is wrong but is unable to stop anything before they reach the top floor. There, Mo-tak tells him to put up the territory when he realises that the territory cannot reach this height, the team is shocked.
Right then, Pil-hwang and Ju-seok arrive and tell them of their intentions to get rid of the Counters. The two sides begin fighting and while So Mun is suppressed by Ju-seok, the others are suppressed by Pil-hwang. However, seeing So Mun in danger, the others soon get up and hold the two evil spirits down.
The others are relieved that So Mun is safe when Gelly walks out of the elevator and holds So Mun down. She finds out that he too had been through rebirth which gave him these powers. Thus, she decides to take away memories of his rebirth and bring him to the state before he mastered his powers.
This shocks everyone, including Pil-hwang who witnesses as Gelly makes the power he desires vanish into thin air.
The Uncanny Counter Season 2 Episode 8 Review
Another weekend comes to an end and there is no doubt that this season is only getting better every week. The excitement is only increasing each week and there is no way we aren’t loving the suspense that every episode is bringing to us.
Episode 8 has brought us some sad moments with beautiful memories being wiped away while showing us how important these very memories have been for many. The ups and downs of this episode were really something and we know for sure that Gelly has completely lost it and this has resulted in both sides losing something.
However, the look on Ju-seok’s face when So Mun was hurt shows us hope for something changing inside him and I hope that he doesn’t remain evil for long. Altogether, this was yet another spectacular episode and we are ready for more!
With that said, what did you think about the episode? Let us know in the comments below.
