◇The following contains spoilers.
In the seventh episode, Suna ( Nao Omori Sawa) finds out that Hiromi is working for her enemy, Yuki Asahi (Omori Nao). Hiromi learns that Suna is a reporter for a weekly magazine, and is wary of her, realizing from her attitude that her true identity has been revealed. Wanting to know Hiromi's true intentions, Suna secretly follows Hiromi on his way home.
Meanwhile, Asahi, who has just decided to expand his supermarket into the Kansai region, receives a visit from his client, Fujita Masaomi (Daimon Masaaki). Kido (Nakahara Takeo), who wants to strengthen their relationship with Fujita, and Asahi invite Fujita, whose family is also visiting Tokyo, to their villa in Hayama. Kido entrusts Asahi with the preparations for a home party, and he asks Ririko (Taira Yuna) to help him.
Meanwhile, Hiromi learns from Suna that Asahi paid 5 million yen in hush money to his former subordinate Washio (Mizusawa Shingo). When Hiromi realizes that Ririko was also at home when Kumura (Abe Ryohei) witnessed the quarrel between the two at the time of the accident, he asks Mochizuki (Tsutsui Michitaka) to let him join the home party. Then, during the home party, while his mother (Okamoto Rei) is not looking, Fujita's grandson chokes on grapes in an empty room... and so the story unfolds.
When Hiromi rushes to the scene, the sight of the child suffering brings back memories of when he lost his daughter, Akari (played by Shuma Ishihara), and he rushes over to treat the child. The child escapes danger, but Hiromi's mother, who has come to the scene after hearing the child's cries, lashes out angrily, saying, "Why... why are you taking your eyes off me! Don't take your eyes off me!"
Furthermore, when Hiromi said that there was no need to be so angry, Hiromi replied, "A miscarriage of justice can be life-threatening!" And when Fujita continued to ask, "Are you preaching?", Hiromi replied, with a trembling voice, "Even a little carelessness can lead to regret for the rest of your life. One day, you can suddenly lose something important, and it's too late to regret it!"
On social media, many people praised Hiromi's angry words. Comments such as "Hiromi is so cool," "Hiromi words really hit home," "His words have a different weight," and "Hiromi feelings are overflowing" were posted.
