偶然にも三舟忍（西島秀俊）の知り合い２人が来店。１人はフランスから帰国後に働いた店の見習いだった南野。近くにオーナーシェフとして店を出したといい三舟は祝福するが、南野の本心は…。もう１人はリヨン時代に同じ店で修行していた羽田野鈴子。今は経営にまわっていて、食事相手も羽田野の店のパティシエ岸部彩香だ。ソムリエの金子は料理人とは思えぬ岸部の雰囲気に違和感を覚える。
Coincidentally, two acquaintances of Shinobu Mifune (Hidetoshi Nishijima) visit the restaturant. One is Minamino, who was an apprentice at a restaurant where he worked after returning from France. Mifune congratulates him for opening a store nearby as an owner chef, but Minamino's true intention for the visit soon becomes clear... The other is Suzuko Hanedano, who is ostensibly here on business too, until things start to get complicated.
