By chance, Ritsuko spots Nagakura Kazuhei ( Kiichi Nakai) and invites him to her home, saying she has something she wants to give him.
"Is this Ichijo's house?" Wahei asked in surprise, and Ritsuko revealed that she was Ichijo's daughter. "I was living in Singapore at the time of my father's funeral, and couldn't come back because of COVID. Then my husband passed away, too. So... I'm a widow," she explained, emphasizing the word "widow."
Afterwards, Ritsuko began, "It seems my father knew Nagakura-san's tastes very well." When Wahei responded, "My taste... Ah, sake!", Ritsuko firmly replied, "No!" She handed him a cardboard box with "To Kura-chan" written on it and said, "My father gave this to you. It's like a keepsake, so I hope you'll accept it."
"Ichijo-san..." Wahei was moved, and when he checked, he found that inside the cardboard box was a pornographic magazine with the word "Widow" written on the cover.
Wahei panicked, and Ritsuko pressed him, saying, "From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it's completely meaningless. Maybe you were lending it out and borrowing it every day?" Wahei said he couldn't take it home, so Ritsuko suggested, "Well, let's do this. Leave it here, and come back if you want to read it."
"Ichijo-san, when he found out that I had lost my wife and was single, he brought me these kinds of things..."
"Why am I always talking about porn magazines?" Wahei explained, playing a role in his defense. When Ritsuko found out that Ichijo had been doing this to Wahei, she said, "Too bad. I thought it was funny that Nagakura liked widows. So there's a gap. Too bad. I guess I'm not. What the heck, that's boring!"
On social media, comments such as, "She's trying to appeal to the widow lol," "Hayata is being forceful and casually emphasizing that she's a widow," "She's a pretty strong widow, just what you'd expect from Ichijo-san's daughter," "I love Hayata Ritsuko so much!", "Nagakura Wahei is being played by Hayata Ritsuko," "Her strange way of appealing to the widow and her love for Wahei are so funny, just like Ichijo-san's daughter," "Ritsuko's character is too good," and "Ishida Hikari is too cute lol" were lined up.
The drama is set in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, and is the third season of the story that depicts the love between a TV station producer played by Koizumi and a city employee played by Nakai. The script was written by Yoshikazu Okada, who also wrote the first season in 2012 and the second season in 2014, and this work depicts the story 11 years after the second season.
