Both Jom and Yai have been having dreams of each other, unaware of the reasons fate has brought them together.

With Jom now in the past, what lies ahead for him? Will everything go exactly as he dreamed of before? If so, a deeper connection with the mysterious man he’s encountered and strangely feels familiar with could potentially happen. And it seems, it’s not just Jom who has been having these strange dreams.

Jom wakes up in bed with Yai, informing him that he will prepare for the day, to which Yai suggests that he can continue resting since the sun hasn’t fully risen yet. Jom consents and turns to the mirror, only to be met with the sight of someone resembling himself. He goes closer and in an instant, the person appears beside him. In this dream, Yai stirs awake, calling for Jom, and is surprised to see two identical figures in front of him. He suddenly awakens with a gasp, sitting up in bed, struggling to catch his breath as he tries to make sense of the dream he just had. Later, Yai attempts to regain his composure by crafting garlands. Prik, having brought him jasmine-infused water, shares an ancient belief that dreams can predict the future. Yai begins to confide in Prik, explaining that he has been dreaming of an unfamiliar man with whom he shares intimate moments. She inquires if he has shared this dream with anyone else, worried that if his father were to hear of it, chaos might happen. She tells him not to overthink before leaving, suggesting the possibility that it might not be a prediction of the future but a reflection of his frustrations. A plumeria flower lands on top of the jasmine garland he’s making and as he picks it up, he gazes upwards and finds himself locking eyes with a person resembling the man from his dreams, riding on a boat in front of him. Suddenly, the two individuals on the boat fall into the water, prompting Yai to leap in to rescue the stranger.

They struggle to swim to the shore and once up Yai asks Jom questions but panic overtakes Jom, causing him to flee. Ming catches up and questions whether he remembers where he lives now, but Jom remains unable to respond. He clarifies that Yai is the son of Luang Nititham and Ying Kaekai, the owners of the Palathip house. Gazing at the house in disbelief, Jom recognizes it as the same one he was previously working on. When Yai rejoins them, Ming encourages Jom to express gratitude for his rescue. Yai deduces that Jom isn’t from around there, leading Ming to disclose that Jom is unaware of his background. Ming brought him to Luang in the hopes that he could offer some help. Yai suggests that Jom change clothes and be brought to the main house, where he can discuss the matter with his mother. After a change of clothes, Ming and Jom enter the main house and exchange greetings with Yai and his mother, Ying. Yai offers a flower garland he crafted to his mother, prompting her to inquire whether Jom is the individual he wishes to entrust in her care. She begins to question Jom, while Ming explains the situation. However, Ying remains skeptical of someone who can only recall their name. She proposes involving the police, which Jom pleads against, and asks if he can stay there for a bit, once he finds out who he is he will leave the place as soon as possible. Ying turns to Yai for his opinion, and Yai proposes that Jom can stay and assist with tasks, while Ming will supervise him. Ying emphasizes that Yai must take responsibility if any issues arise that could impact his father.

Prik guides Jom to meet the other servants of the family’s household, explaining that he’ll be assisting Grandpa Suya as a gardener. Lamyai, Grandpa Suya’s daughter, raises concerns about trusting Jom, given their lack of familiarity with him. During lunch, Ming playfully teases and feeds Jom with unusual food: rotten meat, spicy frog salad, and a pig’s brain. During an evening stroll with her servant Maey, Eeang Peung catches Jom leaping into the river in hopes of going back to his time. As Jom resurfaces, he mistakes her for Somjeed, his friend, and tries to embrace her in delight. Eeang Peung’s husband intervenes, kicking Jom away. Ming appears to restrain Jom, and Eeang Peung’s husband threatens both Ming and his mother, warning that they’ll face consequences for letting Jom in their house. Yai arrives and clarifies that Jom is a new servant at the house of Palathip, asserting that only he can expel him. Eeang Peung claims the incident was a misunderstanding, prompting Jom to offer an apology and for the issue to end. Jom attempts to explain to Ming afterward, but Ming expresses that he’s tired of helping him with every trouble he is causing. He tells Jom that he and his mother could have faced punishment from the foreign master if not for Yai’s help, and then leaves. Yai approaches Jom, seeking clarification that Jom truly didn’t have ill intentions with his big sister. Jom reveals that it is because Eeang Peung reminded him of someone he knows. Meanwhile, Eeang Peung’s husband accuses her of aiding Jom due to a possible relationship between them. She denies this and questions his concern, given his upcoming marriage with his minor wife, and was never defamed or anything—making her husband unable to reply. During the night, Jom sleeps beside Ming, who becomes aware of Jom’s stifled sobs.

Jom starts doing various tasks such as tending to the cows and chickens. While feeding the chickens, Lek’s piglet escapes, leading everyone to join in the effort to catch it. Eventually, they succeed while the piglet is distracted by food. Impressed by Jom’s skills, they ask if he has experience working in a pigsty while Jom explains that he used to assist his sister in training domesticated pigs when they were young. Lek, Yai’s younger brother, asks if he’s indeed Jom and if he can help train the piglet. Yai observes from a distance while Jom is caressing and talking to the piglet, naming the animal “Hope”. During a boat ride with Ming, Jom expresses his gratitude and begins sharing his day—particularly about Lek’s piglet. Ming shares that Lek is usually away at boarding school and might be feeling lonely, hence having a piglet as a pet. Ming then asks about Jom’s memory, wondering if he has any recollections yet and suggesting that if he has a better place to be, he should consider it. Jom understands this and prepares to head home with a bunch of bananas. However, Ming insists that Jom sits down, offering to teach him how to paddle. Jom attentively follows Ming’s instructions, although he still makes some mistakes causing the boat to almost overturn again.

As Yai readies himself and gazes into the mirror, Prik informs him that the blessing ceremony for the foreign master and his second wife is about to begin. She asks why he decided to join in, to which Yai reveals his concern for Eeang Peung. The servants are all busy getting ready for the ceremony when Jom arrives after completing his gardening duties, insisting on helping. Eeang Peung approaches Yai upon his arrival at the house, reassuring him of her well-being. She reminds Yai that he should take care of Jom, as her husband would be angered by his presence. As Jom and Ming prepare for the event, Maey, whom Ming seems to be attracted to, comes to warn them that the foreign master is coming soon. Ming leaves upon noticing Yai’s approach, who advises Jom they leave to avoid upsetting Robert, the foreign master. On his way out, Jom accidentally bumps into Robert’s friend, James, who had come to offer his congratulations before immediately leaving. Jom accidentally speaks English, sparking interest in James who is a forestry manager. During the ongoing ceremony, Yai excuses himself and finds Jom alone. He asks why he trembles as if he has seen a ghost whenever he goes near him, to which Jom explains it away as feeling unwell. Yai touches Jom’s forehead to check for fever, surprised by his own actions. He proceeds to explain the ceremony’s significance, sharing that the ancients believed that a blessing was within us, and when something bad happens and causes the blessing to get away from us, it will result in sickness or misfortune. Yai draws a comparison to Jom’s situation, implying that he might have lost his blessing. He ties a white string around Jom’s wrist, showing his intent to help bring it back. Later that night, Jom takes out the bracelet he arrived with and goes outside for fresh air. He unexpectedly witnesses two people meeting in the darkness by the river, one of whom looks exactly like his ex-boyfriend.

Sent to the past, Jom faces difficulties adapting to his new life, especially as he encounters people who bear a striking resemblance to those he knows in his own time. With Yai also showing interest in Jom, will their relationship evolve into something more?
