◇The following contains spoilers.
The wallet and driver's license of Maya's missing husband Mitsuhiro (Takezai Terunosuke) are found. The police begin a full-scale investigation, believing that this was not just a case of running away from home, and begin to suspect Maya. Meanwhile, Riko (Aibu) is found out to be having an affair by her husband Koki (Takahashi Mitsuomi), and is confined to the house, with the warning "Don't leave until they break up."
Then Maya, Riko and Yurika are forced into a corner when Yurika's husband, Tetsuya, who has regained his memory, demands a large amount of compensation...and so the story unfolds.
In the story, Maya is headhunted by a top company in the industry and decides to change jobs, but is troubled by Tetsuya's request for compensation. Meanwhile, while drinking at her usual bar, the mysterious man Senda, whom she often meets, appears and they decide to drink together again.
While talking with Senda, Maya's memory of the happy times with Mitsuhiro comes to mind. Senda gently tells Maya, who is unsure whether it is a good memory or a bad one, "That is a good memory. No matter what the situation is now, it would be a shame to deny the past. I'm sure it is a good memory for your husband too."
On social media, many have focused on Senda, whose identity is still unknown. Comments such as "There must be something up with this guy," "This guy isn't an assassin sent by her husband, right?", "There's just something fishy about this guy," "Maybe he's a break-up specialist orchestrated by his mother-in-law," and "If Senda is a really shady guy with a hidden side, I'll be saddened and shocked" were posted.
