120

Yamaoka saves an assertive woman from a car, only to learn she is Teruko, Mariko Niki's aunt. Teruko insults her date, writer Mr. Katamori, and later invites Yamaoka to dinner at an exclusive restaurant to make Katamori jealous. Yamaoka secretly informs Katamori that Teruko loves chawanmushi and cabbage rolls. He arranges for jumbo-sized versions of these dishes to be served. When Katamori arrives, he accuses Teruko of demanding perfection as outrageously as the meal, leading to a breakup. Teruko eventually recognizes her own flaws and asks for forgiveness. She later visits the Touzai offices to thank Yamaoka for repairing her relationship with Katamori. In return, she offers to help Yamaoka date Mariko Niki, surprising Kurita.
