In the episode, after Kiyomi (Ichikawa) and Takahashi ( Akihiro Kakuta) thwart the hotel's sale plan, they gather at their usual coffee shop, where a mysterious person wearing an "F" keychain, which had appeared in the previous episode, appears. The identity of the mysterious person is revealed, and it has become a hot topic on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
In the final episode, it is revealed that Haraguchi (Tsutsui Mariko), the owner of the business hotel where Kiyomi works, and Mayor Umemoto (Rinko Kikuchi) are secretly connected. Kiyomi, Hatchi (Suzuki Anne), and Minapu (Hiraiwa Kami) uncover the corruption of the two men who are trying to make a huge profit by selling the hotel, and try to save the alien Takahashi.
Kiyomi, Takahashi and others track down the scene where Haraguchi and Umemoto are having a secret meeting, and lie in wait to capture evidence of the fraud on film. With the help of Mizuki (Shida Mirai), a psychic who happens to be there, and Takahashi, Kiyomi and others succeed in capturing the scene of the bribe transfer. Haraguchi and others are asked to voluntarily accompany the police, and as a result, the hotel sale plan is thwarted and the town is saved... and so it unfolds.
In the story, after the series of disturbances is resolved, Kiyomi and Takahashi gather at a coffee shop. Then, a mysterious man wearing an "F" keychain, played by Koji Yamamoto, stares meaningfully at them and interrupts, saying, "I'm Furuta. I actually have a favor to ask of you two."
Furuta asked Kiyomi and the others, "I want you to stop the sale of that hotel," and talked about how the sale of the land around the hotel would lead to the town becoming desolate, and confessed, "How can I say something like that so definitively... I'm actually a Time Reaper." However, when Kiyomi and the others told her, "That's already been resolved," she seemed taken aback, bowed, and said, "Thank you," and left.
On social media, the mysterious character Furuta, who made a cryptic appearance but then left without becoming involved in the commotion, became a hot topic with comments such as "He made a cryptic appearance but nothing happened and I laughed," "F's wastefulness was the funniest part," "Koji Yamamoto's waste lol," and "It ended up being useless and I laughed" appearing.
