The judo members are hunting for jobs, and Sayuri the dieter gets one at a department story. Kyon-kyon is thinking of getting a pre-school job, whereas Paddy-field wants to be a policewoman. Marilyn still dreams about being an actress. Yawara for her part has not figured out what she wants to do. Tamao says it was easy for her to decide to be a mother and homemaker at Yawara's age. Yuutenji tries to convince Fujiko to enter Saikai, and estimates her weight at 65 kg (about 143 lb), to which she objects that she is only 64 kg; Yuutenji says she needs to drop another 3kg for the under 61kg judo class for the All-Japan competition and world championships in Yugoslavia. Fujigo starts dreaming about a graduation trip to Yugoslavia. Yawara goes for job interviews (including the Tsurukame travel agency) and say the right things but the interviewers all know who she is already: they want to hire her for publicity, but Jigoro turns them without her knowing. Marilyn receives an offer from a porno film producer. After Fujiko tells Yawara about the Saikai offer, she confronts Jigoro, who unexpectedly takes a conciliatory approach, surprising Yawara. He guilt trips Yawara into thinking that if she does not help Fujiko prepare for competitions, her psychologically fragile best friend would fall apart. Later, the women train for the All-Japan Selections Team. Hanazono and Fujiko discuss their possible future together, and only Yawara amongst their friends is clueless that they are a couple.
