Episode Synopsis. The divorce ceremony that Hirame Kiyoshi (KanKonSoSai planner) is conducting for the Yamashita couple starts to fall apart... Overwhelmed by emotions, he begins tearing up during his "friend of the couple" speech, unable to continue. Then, Yamashita learns the condition set by his ex-wife. Angry, he tries to confront Hirame, not aware that his young son has gone off to climb up the balcony...
In the meantime...
It seems the jig is up for Miura Yuji (cram school teacher). His perceptive fiancee questions him if he's cheating on her...
Urata Hiroshi (actor / homemaker) gets asked by his daughter's boyfriend for an autograph. Despite it, his daughter still remains unimpressed. That night, she hears on the radio about viewers' feedback regarding her father's acting in his recent drama...
Igarashi Seiji (cooking expert/TV host) begins filming a new episode but obviously is not feeling well due to previous night's drinking. He prepares a thin, mildly spicy soup curry broth that is a good cure for a hang-over...
And lastly, Wada Shingo (shop staff trainee) tries to come up with an original recipe for his soup curry dish. A light bulb is lit as he remembers his late father's specialty - Himawari-tei's tamagoyaki or sweet egg rolls...

Drama Notes:
Tandoori chicken. It is a "popular Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani dish consisting of roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices."
Scorched rice. Known as 'okoge' in Japan, it is the crusty, burnt rice that is formed on the bottom layer of the rice inside the cooker or pot. Scraped off, it is often eaten as a snack.
(info: japanese cooking)
Rakkyo. Sweet pickled scallions that are often eaten along with curry dishes. Its sweet taste help counter the spiciness of curry.
