Due to her impoverished childhood, flight attendant Sakurako is only interested in rich men; she encounters a forlorn fishmonger named Osuke.

Still blissfully unaware of Osuke's financial situation, Sakurako gets him to agree to go on another date; at a restaurant, they run into Higashijujo.

Hoping to meet a man richer than Higashijujo, Sakurako attends another mixer; Osuke stumbles upon Sakurako being accosted by a former admirer.

Sakurako accidentally double-books two dates; Osuke goes to a mixer at a restaurant, but when he spots Sakurako, he starts drinking more than usual.

Osuke feels guilty that he can't remember what happened with Wakaba; at a class reunion, Sakurako learns her old crush is now CEO of a fashion brand.

Wakaba overhears that the fish shop is in debt; Mariko maneuvers Osuke and Sakurako into having dinner together at the Sakuma house.
