"It was as if it was a bad dream." Minamoto Toya (Shiono Akihisa) strangles Hanajin Ayame (Asou Kumiko) and becomes violent again. However, Toya cries and begs her for forgiveness, begging her not to abandon him, and begins to treat Ayame more gently than ever before. Although Ayame feels Toya's love, she realizes that she is somehow afraid of him... Furthermore, she is shocked to find out that Toya has been hiding from her and relentlessly searching for his missing wife, Natsune (Kita Kana). Meanwhile, Mogami Yoko (Kamino Misuzu) suddenly visits the law firm where Ayame works. Having elegantly overcome the label of "pervert wife," Yoko finally decides to run for office and tells Ayame that she wants her to join her team. To do so, Yoko makes a condition that she break up with Toya and clean up her affairs. It's a position that the old Ayame would have jumped into without a second thought, but she is unable to immediately respond to Yoko's invitation...
