Yano is disappointed by Sachi's refusal and asks her why she can't go. Sachi lies and says that Tatsuya's dad has come back and wants them to be back together and she thinks it's better that way for all of them... She grabs Shoko's hand and walks off, her eyes blurry with tears.

After they leave, Shoko asks Sachi if what she said was really true. Sachi says half of it's true, that Tatsuya's dad is really back in Tokyo but that he's already married and doesn't know about Tatsuya. Shoko says that Sachi better not have done this for her sake, but Sachi says that she knows there's no way she can be together with Yano. Yano's a real gentleman and even though he knows she's not Yuikawa Sachi, he's trying to persevere in his feelings for her, but she doesn't want him to force himself. She likens their situation to having buttoned up your clothes wrong, saying that no one likes to have to undo all the buttons one-by-one again but eventually you will have to do it in the end.

Yano's sitting down on the way home (next to the cat he always talks to while he's going home) and says to himself "so that's the end..."

Sachi gets the daycare centre woman to call Kawamura anonymously and give him a warning to "help a girl with her difficulties or he will die within five days"... he doesn't believe it at first, but when this thing almost falls on him after he hangs up, he gets freaked out. Later at the station, he promises Shoko that he'll work on her request pronto!

Ikuko goes running to Shoko to tell her how Taguchi now knows about Iku-chan! She says that with Yano attending the infosessions with WMO, she's been in the office alone with Taguchi a lot and Taguchi's strange behavior is really wearing her out; he's been acting really funny and talking in this super-polite way. Shoko says that it means Taguchi is starting to notice Ikuko, and it's time for her to "set a trap" for him...

Ikuko comes into the office the next day, looking super-glamourous without her glasses and wearing these really flattering clothes. Taguchi's stunned, and watches her with his mouth open!

Yano tells Junko that he's leaving for Geneva on July 1, and asks if Junko's told Yukimi yet, but Junko says it's better for Yano to tell his daughter himself. She then suggests they go with him...he's taken back by her words, and says "what are you saying?" - but she quickly retracts her words, and just tells him to buy her a Swiss watch as o-miyage...

Sachi has found a job working in a supermarket. (I'm not sure how this is supposed to be a step up from waitressing.... nor how it will make her enough money for her to give up her club hostessing job... but I guess that's not the point...) She tells Shoko that she'll start looking for a place to live next week. Sachi asks about Kawamura, and is quietly satisfied to hear that he's been hard at work trying to help her convince management about telling her listeners the truth.

Yano waits for Yukimi after school to tell her about the Geneva job, and she's pleased for him, saying that she wishes she could come too. Yano decides to cook a meal for the three of them and he and Yukimi head off to the supermarket to do the shopping. Naturally, he ends up in Sachi's supermarket, and he's surprised to see her working there (but he doesn't approach her, and so she doesn't know that he's been there.)

After they finish dinner, Yano asks Junko if she's serious about going with him, saying that Yukimi wants to go... Junko says that he still hasn't changed, and is still obliging others in what they want to do, instead of thinking about what he wants himself. Yano's defensive, saying what's wrong with obliging my daughter, but Junko says it's just another form of avoidance, because Yano doesn't want to bear the responsibility of his own actions... She reminds him of when she had asked for a divorce, and how he'd says "I guess it can't be helped" and just acceded with her request, without ever stating what he himself wanted to do. She says that even though he knows what the next day's weather will be like, he doesn't have any clue about what he himself wants... he's never stated a preference - like whether he wants it to be sunny, or rainy. Junko says she thought he would change after falling for Sachi, but he's still the same.

Yano's bothered by Junko's accusations and talks it over with Kawamura, asking him what's wrong with obliging your own daughter. He thinks over what Junko has said and agrees that he's probably the type that unconsciously gives way to other people, and perhaps one can call it "avoidance", but it's his character and he's not sure what he should do, but surely it's better for a child to be with his natural father (now, is he still talking about Yukimi... or Tatsuya??)

Kawamura's preoccupied with his own affairs and not interested in Yano... he suggests that they live it up and go to a club, as he "may not have long to live"....

Shoko tells Sachi how management has turned down her request (so that's why Kawamura thinks he's doomed!) and seems inclined to accept their decision, but Sachi urges her to go ahead and announce it on-air without management approval, saying her fans love her and will support her.

Kawamura and Yano are at the Glass Slipper, and Yano sees a photo of Sachi on the wall... and realises that this is where she works at night. But when he asks for her, the other girls tell him that she has quit.

Shoko tells Sachi what she'd heard from Ikuko about Yano leaving for Geneva on July 1, and Sachi starts to cry. Shoko says that Sachi actually really did want to go with Yano, but Sachi says that "...there's no way I can..."

The girls at the club then shows Yano Sachi's weather book, telling him how much she loves the weather and tell him how they'd heard that she's now looking for a new job, and a new place to live for her and Tatsuya. (Yano then realises that Sachi must have been lying about Tatsuya's dad.)

Shoko makes up her mind to tell her listeners the truth. On that same day, Yano's attending a special farewell gathering that his company has organized. As the clock strikes 2 pm, Shoko tells her listeners how she has fallen in love with a man named Yano, who doesn't know how to deal with love matters, even though he is very talented about the weather. She tells them about what happened to him in high-school, and says that he's about to make the same mistake again... and he's going to go to a place far away, leaving behind a girl who really really wants to go with him. She says that even though one can't control the weather, one can control matters of the heart, and that she hopes he will take the girl with him.

Ikuko grabs the radio and takes it to the auditorium where they're holding the farewell party so Yano can hear what Shoko's saying...

Shoko then says that the girl is Yuikawa Sachi... She then apologizes to everyone for lying to them and says that the show's homepage is not her, but her good friend, Harada Sachi. Her own name is Kaneko Shoko, but because she's not as attractive as her friend, they decided to use Sachi's profile instead of her own. She also tells them how even though she sounds very professional on-air, she's actually hopeless at handling her own affairs of the heart. Shoko says that it's because of her love that she has the courage now to act...

Yano makes a decision and leaves the podium. (He actually looks quite kakko-ii walking off...) He goes to Sachi's supermarket, and finds her in the back room where he takes her in his arms and asks her to go with him to Geneva. Sachi hesitates, but finally puts her own arms around Yano and agrees. Yano then carries her out of the supermarket. (This part's kind of corny...)

Shoko finishes her program, and all these faxes from her fans come pouring in, with messages of support. Kawamura's estatic, and grabs the faxes, saying that he's sure the management will come around once they see these. Shoko's left on her own in the broadcasting room, and she goes to the window, looking up at the sky...

Sachi and Yano are walking hand-in-hand with Tatsuya, and Yano tells Sachi how for the first time, he feels a decided preference for the weather - that he wished it would rain right now because he knows how much Sachi loves rain... All of a sudden, it starts to rain....

Taguchi's talking to Ikuko in the office, telling her how he's sorry he hasn't noticed before but he's finally realised that he likes her... but Ikuko tells him that it's not necessary anymore - the power of love has changed her and given her confidence... she then thanks him and leaves. Taguchi's again stunned by her rejection... and sends in a fax asking for Shoko's help!
