We open this episode with Kayoko’s story through her eyes. She was the pampered princess of her father. She obediently met with Kazushige through an omiai and the two married. Her husband was not the best husband and father, but she felt blessed by her two children…until they hit the teen years and stopped really needing her. Thus she started withdrawing from her own family. Then the scandal hits that her husband embezzled money from her father and her father urged her to divorce him and bring the children to live with him. Kayoko refuses as she doesn’t believe Kazu really did that. And that’s why she’s like she is.
吉本荒野(櫻井翔)は、長男・慎一(神木隆之介)からの激しい反撃をかわし、何とか家庭教師解雇の危機を逃れた。対して慎一の代償は大きく、完全に家族から孤立してしまう。
