The Special Investigation Division of the Narcotics Control Department is holding a welcome party for Saiki, but Saiki gets completely drunk and sits down on the road.

Seeing Jinnai's condition, his section chief Katsuragi (Miura Masami) orders Jinnai, "This is impossible. Jinnai (Nakamura), please take Saiki home. You're Saiki's instructor, right?"

"I didn't hear anything," Jinnai says, and the other members of the Special Investigations Division leave one by one. Jinnai is left alone, and mutters, "Are you serious..." as he walks Saiki home.

Worried about the drunk Saiki, Jinnai asks, "Are you OK?" Saiki then begins, "Uh, Jinnai-san..." and tells Jinnai, "I want to get rid of dope. I was happy when I joined the Special Investigation Division. I thought I'd be at the forefront of the fight to get rid of dope."

On social media, people were talking about how Saiki-kun is so cute when he's all drunk, Saiki-kun is so annoying but cute, and Jinnai's natural kindness is so good, Saiki-kun is so cute when he's actually happy to be in the Special Investigations Division, and it's also cute when he drinks too much at the welcome party, and the MVP of this week's DOPE is a completely drunk Saiki-kun.

The story is based on the same-titled novel (Kadokawa Bunko) by Kizaki Chiaki, who made her debut as a novelist after winning the grand prize in the 20th Dengeki Novel Prize with "Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens." Set in a near-future Japan where a mysterious new drug called "DOPE" is rampant, Saiki Yuto, a rookie narcotics agent with the secret Narcotics Control Department Special Investigation Division (Special Investigation Division), and Jinnai Teppei, the division's trainer, attempt to solve a mysterious case.
