In episode 18, Karina (Kita) receives a call from her stepmother Tokiko (Kobayashi Kinako) informing her that her father Yoshio (Tsurumi Tatsugo) is in critical condition, so she heads to Sapporo, but when she arrives home, she finds Yoshio practicing golf.
Karina is disappointed, but when she enters the ramen shop where she has fond memories with Yumi (Amano), she sees Karasuta (Tokojima Yoshiko), her former ballet teacher from her days studying ballet in Sapporo. This unexpected reunion brings back memories of when Karina first met Yumi. Karasuta then tells her a shocking truth. There are three episodes remaining in the drama, including this one.
