◇The following contains spoilers.
Hayase (Suzuki) rescues Natsumi (Erika Toda) from Fuyuhashi. Natsumi had refused to accept that she was "Natsumi," but Hayase's sincere words swayed her heart, and she tearfully apologized and accepted him. In order to protect her family, there was no choice but to destroy Goroku (Yukiya Kitamura) and his organization. With a fierce resolve in their hearts, the two declare war on Goroku.
However, Hayase is captured by Fuyuhashi (Ren Nagase), and Natsumi, who was trying to have Goroku arrested, also finds herself in dire straits due to the betrayal of Makita (Hideaki Ito).
In Gido's room, with a gun pointed at him by Fuyuhashi, Hayase desperately pleads, "You don't want to kill anyone, do you? You just want to help someone, right? Do you think Machi would be happy if I did this?" Moved by Hayase's words, Fuyuhashi tries to make it seem like Hayase escaped on his own, but at that moment, Kiriya (played by Fujisawa Ryoka) and Kikuchi (played by Tsukaji Takeya) enter on the orders of Goroku, who had been prepared for the betrayal.
Kikuchi said, "You were trying to let that person escape just now, weren't you, Fuyuhashi?" and Kikuchi's henchmen pointed their guns at Fuyuhashi and Hayase... As the clock in the room struck midnight, two gunshots rang out.
Regarding the gunshots, various opinions were expressed on social media, such as, "Those two gunshots were definitely missed, right?", "I believe Fuyuhashi shot Kikuchi and his subordinates," and "I believe that gunshot was fired by Ryo-chan."
