In July 1604, Gou gives birth to Hidetada's fifth child, the long-awaited baby boy. While Hidetada and Gou are in a celebratory mood, Oba no Tsubone brings a woman named Fuku, who is chosen as the baby's foster mother by Ieyasu. The baby, who is named Takechiyo, is immediately taken away from Gou and completely guarded by Fuku. Gou gets frustrated for not being able to take care of her own son.
