Date de diffusion: Mar 03, 1996

When the seventh-heaven ecstasy from their first kiss dies down, Mikako and Tsutomu quickly find that the epiphany of their new-found romance is the preamble for a whole different anthology of problems as evidenced by Mariko finding in Ayumi a new rival for Yuusuke's heart. Mikako and Tsutomu decide to take the train back home oblivious to Mariko silently fuming at Ayumi as she awaits Yuusuke's arrival; a wardrobe interchange later, a perplexed Ayumi watches Yuusuke speed off with Mariko in tow as she tries to wrap her mind around the prologue Mariko has with both Yuusuke and Tsutomu. Ruriko is shocked to find Tsutomu asleep in Mikako's bedroom with her daughter and races off to see Hiroaki who advises her to keep the perspective about the whole situation. This ultimately gives Mikako and Tsutomu all the time they need to ultimately realize their error; Ruriko returns to a feast the lovestruck Mikako has prepared with the volition of celebration.
