Takezo takes his daughters to Osako's to apologize, then surprises everyone by offering to buy the damaged painting. Illness strikes the family.

Takezo rests in isolation during an illness, sorely missing his family. Meanwhile, Tsuneko plots to surprise him as New Year's Day arrives.

While Takezo's lack of improvement quietly troubles his family, Tsuneko's uncle inspires her to find a novel way to cheer up her father.

Buzzing after the cherry blossom viewing, a sleepless Tsuneko visits her father in his study — where he entrusts her with a cherished wish.

In 1935, Tsuneko acts as head of the family while her mother works at the dyeing factory and grows concerned when Yoshiko struggles in school.

When Tsuneko discovers Yoshiko is alone at school, her attempts to intervene end in disaster. Later, Tsuneko rushes to help when a fire breaks out.

After Uncle Tetsuro finishes off the family's dwindling food supply, Tsuneko and Kimiko enter a three-legged race to win a sack of rice.
