Summary[]

Detectives Tomoe Minai and Shingo Fujita return to Kakiuchi Police Station from a stakeout, with Tomoe's sister Madoka worrying about how injured she is. Tomoe chides her for not referring to her professionally and explains that during their stakeout, she got into a fight. Madoka says that even though she’s an elite police officer, Tomoe is still a woman. She tells Fujita to stand up for Tomoe as her partner but he says nothing in response, looking incredibly dejected. Tomoe goes to report while Madoka sits with Fujita and asks what happened.

Fujita and Tomoe were staking out a coffee shop, however Fujita’s wife Yuko was watching them. Because Fujita has frequently come home late for a while, Yuko thought he was having an affair. Tomoe noticed the target and moved to whisper something to Fujita, but Yuko went up and slapped him, thinking she was kissing him. Fujita fervently tried to explain and blurted out they’re doing a stakeout, and the target started running. Tomoe managed to catch the guy while Fujita got chewed out by his wife.

Tomoe reports in to chiefKaoru Yamaoki, who also admonishes Tomoe for being reckless. Yamaoki tells her to go home, but she still has to finish her report.

At the Second Criminal Division, Okabe rants to Kojima about how Tomoe and Fujita had stolen Section 2’s thunder once again, as the guy they caught today was an important consultant to a trafficking group. Meanwhile, Section 2 was busy doing chores at the new investigation HQ. Tomoe became a semi-career inspector at just the age of 30; she was top of her class, graduated with a degree in psychology, and her father was a well-liked detective at Public Security. Tomoe and Madoka’s parents died in a fire 11 years ago, and Tomoe carried on his legacy. Kojima wonders why Tomoe and Yamaoki fight so much, and Okabe says it’s just to show who’s the best around. He changes the topic to Tomoe’s sister.

Tomoe meets Madoka in the break room and chastises her for wearing her casual clothes while using police facilities. Madoka says that Fujita went home to apologize to his wife, and told Madoka to also apologize to Tomoe. Tomoe asks why Madoka is all dressed up and demands to know who she’s eating dinner with. Madoka tries to dodge the question, but at Tomoe's insistence, she explains she's just going out to eat with her boyfriend. Tomoe accepts it and offers a rid,e, but then Madoka explains she's dating Yamaoki. Tomoe can't believe this, as Yamaoki is old enough to be her father. Tomoe calms down and says it's fine for them to date, but marriage is different. She'll trust Madoka's judgment for now and wishes her the best. Madoka thanks her for her support. Tomoe begins to say something else but drops the subject, and when Madoka leaves, laments that she couldn't say that Yamaoki was a good guy.

A flashback occurs to years ago, after the funeral of Tomoe's father. When Yamaoki asked here if she wanted to be a police officer, Tomoe gained new purpose in her life. She was grateful to him for that and saw him like a parent. Tomoe thinks that what she's doing now is important. There are rumors going around that Madoka would've slept with Yamaoki to get a promotion, but Tomoe knows it's not true. Madoka used to work at a cabaret club and met Yamaoki, who was a regular customer. For some reason, Madoka decided to become a police officer then. Two years ago, Yamaoki became chief of Kakiuchi Station, Madoka got recruited as an officer, and then Tomoe was selected by the Ibaraki prefectural police to become a candidate for the National Police Agency, and was transferred to Kakiuchi just last summer.

Tomoe doesn't understand how it all happened. Madoka didn't need to become an officer just for Yamaoki to like her, and as a former cabaret club worker, she knew she'd be looked at differently. Tomoe brushes it all aside and is content that Madoka is serious at least. Later, Tomoe finishes interviewing someone on the street and reunites with Fujita, who asks if she found the witness. Tomoe says she hasn't yet and asks how things went with his wife. Fujita explained the situation to Yuko and apologized to her, and eventually left with Hanada.

Fujita is ready to continue the investigation when Tomoe suddenly says that somebody's watching them from the shadows. Fujita runs away in a panic to search somewhere else. Tomoe says she's leaving him to do what he needs to do when she sees some delinquents harassing a girl for knocking over their motorcycles. Tomoe intervenes.
