This episode features two stories of exploitation involving married women. A struggling cafe owner is coerced into sexual favors by her landlord in exchange for rent leniency while her husband is hospitalized, and a new employee is taken advantage of by her manager after getting drunk at a welcome party.
Under pressure from her mother-in-law to produce an heir, Aoi is forced into a sexual arrangement with a relative from the main family branch. This theme of infidelity extends to other women in the community, as a mother rekindles a risky flame with a neighbor and another wife indulges in a secret affair with the neighborhood chairman.
