The 99th episode of the NHK morning drama "Bakeke" (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Takaishi Akari, was broadcast on February 19th. In the episode, the family becomes tense after a grill goes missing, and the maid Kuma (Natsume Towa) makes an unexpected decision, which became a hot topic among viewers.
When the grill for toasting breakfast bread disappears, Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) makes a comment that leads to the search for the culprit. Toki (Takaishi) and Heaven (Tommy Bastow) decide to listen to Masaki's theory. Masaki mentions the possibility that the culprit could be within the family, and they begin to deduce the motives of each member of the family.
Heaven applauded, saying, "Mr. Gokuro, thank you for your kindness," but also expressed her heartache for the family, who were becoming suspicious and distrustful, saying, "But... I heard something, my heart hurts. I'm singing... I don't think it's a good thing."
At first, everyone laughs at Masaki's deduction, thinking it's a joke, but gradually they begin to suspect one another. Tsukasa (Takashi Okabe), Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki), and Toki get into an argument over the missing grill. Kuma (Toru Natsume) is watching them.
Towards the end of the episode, Kuma suddenly announces that she wants to quit her job as a maid. As the episode closes with Kuma's troubled expression, comments such as "Don't quit, O-Kuma-chan," "O-Kuma-chan's confused expression makes me feel uncomfortable too," "Everyone feels responsible for the tension between them," "It's not O-Kuma-chan's fault," "Could O-Kuma-chan be the culprit?", "Maybe the grill has fallen somewhere like the chopsticks before?" and "I wonder what will happen tomorrow?" were posted on social media.
