The final episode of the TBS Friday drama "Fake Mummy" (Fridays at 10 p.m.), starring actors Haru and Rina Kawaei, aired on December 12th. The scene in which Sayuri, played by Tanaka Minami, snuggles up to her husband, Motohashi Shingo (played by Kasamatsu Masaru), the president of Mitsuhashi Foods, caused a stir on social media, with people calling her "like the Virgin Mary."

In order to take care of Iroha (played by Aoi Ikemura), Sayuri was instructed by Shingo to prepare a bed and desk at home that was the same as his son Keigo's (played by Ryunosuke Takashima). One day, while Shingo was taking a bath, Sayuri secretly checked the contents of his smartphone.
Afterwards, Sayuri went to Kaoru (Haru) and Mamie (Kawaei) and handed them data that could serve as evidence, saying, "My husband is involved in some kind of fraud in the acquisition of Mamie's company." She did this in order to stop her out-of-control husband and to become a family that Keigo could be proud of.
At an emergency briefing at Yanagiwa Academy, Iroha's expulsion is overturned, leaving Shingo feeling frustrated. When he returns to the company, he finds that he has been dismissed from his position as president due to an irregular transfer of funds for the acquisition of RAINBOWLAB. "Damn it! I can still do this..." Shingo clicks his tongue and encourages himself, when Sayuri comes over to him and says, "I've come to pick you up. Please put an end to this."
"Damn it! I've come this far for the company, for my family!" Shingo cried, distraught. Sayuri's father-in-law had told her, "I want Shingo to take a break." Shingo resisted this as well. "You don't have to fight anymore. I understand better than anyone how much you've carried on your shoulders," said a teary-eyed Sayuri as she gently embraced Shingo.
Social media was abuzz with excitement, with comments such as, "Just when I thought Motohashi's husband would be slammed with divorce papers...Saint Sayuri has forgiven him for everything. I'm glad he found salvation," "Sayuri was a strong-willed woman," "I was annoyed at how troublesome both Mr. and Mrs. Motohashi were, but I was also moved by the generosity of his wife, who was kind to her husband until the very end," and "Motohashi was able to shed his armor thanks to the love of Saint Sayuri."
