Data emisji: Gru 07, 2008

As the day of her departure neared, Tenshoin spends time cherishing her memories at "Ooku" with her servants. Seikanin, who was to leaves ahead of others, tells Tenshoin that she would ask the Imperial Court to let the Tokugawa family stay in the castle. On the final day, Tenshoin walks around the castle to remember her home where she sees Honjuin arranging flowers, and suggests decorating "Ooku" with lots of flowers. In Kyoto, Tatewaki, who believes expropriation of only Tokugawa's territory was unfair in the process of restoring the Emperor's political power, tells his plan to submit Satsuma's territory to the Emperor to entice other clans to follow.
