Tokushige's (Matsumoto) master, Akaike (Tanaka Min), was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Without a liver transplant, which would be a radical treatment, Akaike only had about a month left to live, so Tokushige decided to become a donor himself. He began to take action to clear various screening procedures.

Tokushige visits the Yokohama Municipal Mitsuzawa University Hospital where he previously worked. However, Arahata (played by Kotaro Yoshida) asks him, "What is this traitor doing here?" "I've never forgiven you or Uotora (the hospital)," Arahata replies. Tokushige replies, "I loved working in the emergency room."

In the midst of all this, Arahata handed Tokushige a document saying, "You owe me one more thing." It was a document necessary for the transplant review.

Yoshida's appearance was not announced in advance, and it was a surprise. The end credits revealed that Yoshida was making a guest appearance, and it sparked discussion on social media with comments such as "Kotaro Yoshida(in a guest appearance) made me cry," "Kotaro Yoshida's guest appearance was so emotional," "Yoshida Kotaro Yoshida's guest appearance was amazing!", "I was surprised when Kotaro Yoshida showed up lol," and "Kotaro Yoshida in the final episode was too spectacular!"
