Playing song, "Harlem Summer"
In order to bring together Hiroshi and Jandelene, Inohara went to purchase 9 tickets for the movie, "Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey".
Outside the cinema, all of them had arrived except Jandelene. As a result, Hiroshi could not help feeling nervous. He asked Inohara,
Hiroshi: Inohara, did you inform Jandelene-san about this?
Inohara: Don't worry, I've reminded her umpteen times already! I'm very sure that she'll be here. Just relax, my friend!
Eunice: But Inohara, are you sure that your plan will work?
Vivien: I am worried too. Frankly speaking, I've a kind of bad feeling.
Inohara: Don't be a wet blanket ne! Trust me. I guarantee everything will go smoothly!
Morita: Have some confidence in him, ladies!
Finally, Jandelene arrived and surprisingly, Issa was with her. Seeing that, Hiroshi was disappointed.
Jandelene: Sorry to keep all of you waiting.
Hiroshi: It's okay. Anyway, we have just arrived.
Inohara: Oh Issa, you are here too!
Issa: Yes, I understand from Jandelene-san that there's a "Ultraman" movie showing here. It's my favourite and I have been waiting to watch it.
Inohara: Oh I see! But I thought you're a busy man. I mean, aren't you preparing for your concerts?
Issa: You're right. I am pretty busy with my concerts' preparations but I need to take a break too!
Jandelene: Enough of all that talking, the show is going to begin soon! And I need to get a ticket for Issa.
Inohara: Hold on, Jandelene-san.
Jandelene: What's up?
Inohara: Sorry to disappoint you but I think you can forget about getting the ticket.
Jandelene: Why? Don't tell me all the tickets are sold out?
Inohara: Bingo!!
Jandelene: Huh? Then what to do now?
Inohara: What a pity! But don't worry Issa, you can catch it some other time!
(Suddenly, Sakamoto's mobile phone rang and he need to rush for an urgent meeting. As such, he gave his ticket to Issa.)

During the show, poor Hiroshi was terribly in low spirits as he witnessed the intimate relationship of Jandelene and Issa. Though Inohara's plan had failed drastically,
he did not give up. He was cracking his brains to come up with other ideas. Finally, he got one.
After the show, Inohara suggested to the group,
Inohara: It's still early, why don't we go for a drink?
Ken: Good idea! Suddenly, I've a crave for drinking right now!
Issa: i like to go but too bad, I need to rush back.
Inohara: Really? So sad to hear that. how about you Jandelene-san?
Jandelene: Me? I don't think so. I will go with Issa. You guys go ahead.
Eunice: I don't think you're coming back tonight, right?
Jandelene: Bingo!
Soon, Jandelene left with Issa while the group went their separate ways. Inohara and Ken accompanied Hiroshi to a bar,
Okada and Vivien went for supper. Lastly, Morita and Eunice were on their way home.
At the bar
Inohara: Don't be discouraged, Hiroshi. With me around, you'll be able to win Jandelene-san's heart.
Ken: Yeah! That Issa is no match for you.
Hiroshi: Thanks for all your encouragement. I really appreciate it. But, I think I have to give her up.
Inohara: Doushite? Why? Hontouni? sure or not?
Hiroshi: Yes. Since She's not interested in me.
Ken: How do you know? Did she tell you that?
Hiroshi: No, but I can feel it.
Ken: Hey, don't trust you intuition. Don't you know girls are fickled-minded?
Inohara: Anyway, I respect your decision.
Ken: (Whispering to Inohara) Are you mad? We are supposed to cheer him up right?
Inohara: (Whispering to Ken) Yeah, but he can't simply forsake the whole forest just because
of one tree.
Inohara: Listen to me, Hiroshi. There are alot of girls who are better than Jandelene-san.
Given your assets, you'll be able to find a suitable one. You look in front of you, the long-hair girl
is looking at you! She's quite kawaii!
Hiroshi: Save it for yourself! I've no mood for this.
Ken: Hey guys, how do you find that girl who is sitting besides me? She looks abit like Meg Ryan.
Inohara: Haha. Yeah.. Abit of resemblance. Go and ask her out quick!
Playing song, "Beat Your Heart"
Ken: I am a bit nervous.
Inohara: Act like a man. Come on, let me impart my courage to you!
(After some time, Ken braved up his courage and approached her while
Inohara spotted his next victim who was a sexy lady. Poor Hiroshi was there, drinking to his own sorrows.)
At the noodle's stall
Vivien: Poor Hiroshi, he must be feeling very low right now.
Okada: Of course.
Vivien: Okada, are both of you on very good terms?
Okada: Definitely.
Vivien: Then he must have told you about his everything including his love for Jandelene.
Okada: That's for sure! He really likes her alot and if he likes a person, he will remain
faithful to her.
Vivien: Really? I feel so envious for Jandelene!
Okada: Don't worry, I will be faithful to you as well!
Vivien: What? What did you say just now?
Okada: Oh nothing, nothing at all.
Vivien: Anyway, I believe that Hiroshi and Jandelene will be together in the end. Just wait and see!
Okada: (talking to himself) Then how about us?
On the other hand, Morita and Eunice passed by a stall, selling accessories like bracelets, pendants, earrings etc.
Suddenly, something caught Eunice's eyes. It was a dolphin pendant.
Eunice: This is kawaii ne!
Morita: You like it?
Eunice: Hai!
(Immediately, Morita asked for the price of that pendant and paid for it)
Morita: For you, Eunise.
Eunice: Really? Thank you!
Eunice: Morita-kun, what is your favourite colour?
Morita: Red!
(Eunice took the red dolphin pendant and gave it to Morita)
Eunice: Give me your hands, Morita-kun
Morita: (Feeling shy) Why?
Eunice: For you. I hope that it will serve as a lucky charm for you!
Morita: I know it will. Arigatou.
Eunice: Do Itashimashite!
Morita: eh..Eunise, you are free tomorrow?
Eunice: hmm..yeah..why?
Morita: I...eh..I would like to ask you out, can I?
Eunice: Sure!
Morita: (Smiling to Eunice) Yeah. So tomorrow I will go and fetch you!
They happily chatting to each other while they are on their way back.
The next morning, the very moment Jandelene came home, the 2 ladies started to question her.
Vivien: Hey, so how are things between you and Issa?
Jandelene: Fine, why do you keep asking me this question over and over again?
Vivien: Out of concern.
Jandelene: You look a bit weird today. Are you hiding something from me?
Okay, since you have already see me through. While I am going to tell you something about Issa.
In fact, when I was in Singapore, I happened to see him hanging out with Tanako.
Eunice: Tanako? This name sounds familiar.
Vivien: She's Issa's ex-stead.
Eunice: But she's married already, right?
Vivien: Exactly, she's a married woman. She should not be seen going out with Issa and both of them were behaving intimately.
Eunice: if that's the case, Jandelene, you have to be careful.
Jandelene: Both of you are being over-sensitive. Can't they be friends?
Vivien: You never know! I feel that Issa is not suitable for you.
Eunice: I agree with her!
Jandelene: Then who is suitable for me, my dear friends?
Vivien & Eunice: Hiroshi Nagano!
Jandelene: WHAT?!? I beg your pardon? That's impossible between us.
Vivien: Why not? He is very gentle and has a good characters.
Eunice: He's good-looking and financially-stable.
Jandelene: That's the thing, he's too gentle for me!
Eunice: I find that both of you will make a compatible pair. You are rough while he is gentle.
Jandelene: I hear nothing. By the way, I've something to tell you, Eunice.
Eunice: Is it? Good or bad? You look serious.
Jandelene: Well, it depends on how you see it. I heard from Issa that Koichi will be coming to
Tokyo soon.
Vivien: Wow! Eunice must be feeling very happy right now. It has been quite some time ever since both of you met each other.
You miss him, don't you?
Jandelene: I doubt it.
Vivien: Jandelene, why do you say that? What do you mean?
Jandelene: Well, only Eunice has the answer.
Playing song, "Beginning"
After hearing about Koichi's arrival, Eunice was confused. What Jandelene had said was true, she did
not feel excited at all. She had fell in love with Morita already, and a decision between Koichi and Morita has to be made.
The next day, Eunice was supposed to meet Morita, she was supposed to wait for him to fetch her but she end up waiting for
Morita outside his hair salon. She was pacing up and down, pondering whether to express her feelings to Morita. At that moment,
Morita was behind her.
Morita: Eunise, I thought I am supposed to fetch you from your work place?
Eunice: Yeah..but I am free...so..anyway...hmm..
Morita: Eunise, are you alright?
Eunice: Yes...erm..I am perfectly alright.
Morita: That's good.
Eunice: Actually, er.. I got something to tell you.
Morita: What is it regarding?
Eunice: Can we go somewhere else first?
Morita: Sure, let's go to that beach (he was pointing to the beach just directly opposite them)
Eunice: Okie.
(While they are crossing the road, Eunice did not notice that a motorbike was dashing towards her. Upon seeing that, Morita immediately grab her hand and pull her back.)
Eunice: (pull back her hand) Thank you.
Morita: Are you sure you are fine?
Eunice: Well..actually....I want to tell you that...I..
(Before Eunice said anything about Koichi, her mobile phone rang. It was a call from Jandelene.)
Jandelene: Is that Eunice?
Eunice: Hai.
Jandelene: Koichi is HERE!!
Eunice: WHAT?!? Are you kidding me?
Jandelene: Really, he's here. He is at our home.
Morita: Are you okay? You're looking pale.
Eunice: Am I? I..I'm fine. Sorry but I've to go now.
Morita: Do you need me to go with you?
Eunice: No, sorry. Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Morita could not help feeling worried about Eunice. Thus, he followed her and he was surprised to see...
