== Summary ==
Loid notices that Yor has been coming home late recently, which makes him suspicious. Anya asks when they will be having dinner, and Loid says when Yor arrives home. Anya then turns to Bond to try to get him to see the future and know what they will have for dinner. Yor arrives home with a grim face and hands covered in cuts and bandages. Loid asks her if she would like dinner, but she declines and tells them to eat by themselves as she is not hungry. Anya reads Bond's mind and sees a future where Yor is crying, which makes her wonder why. 
The next day, while Yor and the others are finishing up their work for the day at Berlint City Hall, Millie asks Camilla if she wants to go get a drink together tonight, but Camilla declines.
After work, Yor visits a grocery store and arrives at Camilla's house with a dripping paper bag. Camilla opens the door with a worried expression, asking if they are "really doing this again tonight," to which Yor nods. Camilla then yells at Yor for squashing the tomatoes, which were causing the bag to drip out the bottom. Dominic appears and greets Yor with a smile and congratulates her for keeping up with the work, and Camilla yells at him for starting this whole thing.
Three days earlier, Yor told Camilla, Millie, and Sharon that she wanted to learn how to cook because a breakfast she made put Loid on the toilet for a whole day. Yor is worried that if she cannot learn to cook, it will ruin her marriage. Sharon tells her they have a maid, Millie proclaims her knowledge of using can openers, and Camilla tells her to take a class. Dominic overhears the conversation and tells Yor that Camilla is a great cook. Yor asks Camilla to teach her to cook, but Camilla tries to decline. However, Dominic pushes for her to teach Yor at Camilla's house.
Back in the present, Yor excitedly puts on her apron and prepares for another lesson. Camilla yells at Dominic and tells him that he will be on poison-testing duty, but he tells her he already has someone to do that. Yuri Briar excitedly opens the door, ready to eat his sister's cooking. He greets Camilla and gives her thanks for all that she has done for Yor before asking about the purpose of this party. Yor tells him that she is learning to cook in secret and asks that Loid does not know, which makes Yuri upset as he thinks she is cooking for Loid.
Yor presents to Camilla all the ingredients that she bought, to which Camilla complains that she told Yor not to buy so much. Camilla dismissively tells Yor to start peeling the potatoes, but she ends up just cutting herself and making a bunch of potato chunks covered in blood. Camilla is shocked that anyone could be this bad at peeling, to which Yor replies that she is much better with a knife. She begins chopping up some ingredients on the cutting board but also ends up cutting right through the board.
Camilla, seeing Yor's excessive failure, tells her to just get a divorce already, which makes Yuri appreciate Camilla. Yor begs Camilla to continue, though, as she does not want to get a divorce, so Camilla tells her to go heat up the ingredients she chopped. Dominic compliments Camilla for having a hidden soft side, which Yor never saw as hidden.
Yor finishes her first dish of the day, a minestrone soup filled with various ingredients, including bones and the head of a fish. Dominic tells Yuri to eat up, and so Yuri enthusiastically digs into the dish. He screams at how fantastic it is while constantly eating and throwing it up. Camilla and Dominic curiously decide to take a bite of the dish and immediately fall to the floor. Camilla yells at Yor for messing up the dish so badly, and Yor apologizes.
Calming down, Camilla tells Yor that they will try something easier, like meatballs. Yor then presents her finished meatball dish, which has a bone and a fishtail sticking out, among other things. Yuri digs in once again and proclaims how he is seeing more of his childhood memories with each bite and is seeing his mother beckoning him into the light. Dominic worriedly tells him to stop eating and put down the fork.
Remembering Yor's past, Camilla realizes that Yor's cooking for herself and Yuri since they were kids probably warped their palates. Yor sheepishly explains that she just wanted to make sure Yuri got all the nutrients he needed, much to Dominic's tearful shock. Camilla asks Yor and Yuri if they remember any dishes their parents used to make. Yuri remembers a stew their mom made that had a fried egg on top. After figuring that it was probably a southern stew with a simple base, Camilla tries to help Yor make it by carefully walking her through the steps.
Camilla intently watches Yor cook and points out that she has been a lot less robotic lately. Yor asks if it was maybe because she got married, making an annoyed Camilla dismiss the possibility and insist that it was something simple like a makeup change. Dominic compliments Camilla on being a beautiful woman before also complimenting the smell of Yor's stew. Camilla takes a spoonful of the stew and tells her that it is not bad this time. Yuri also has some and tells them that it is not quite as he remembers it. Camilla asks them where the siblings are from, and Yor tells them East Nielsberg. Camilla tells them that they put sour cream in stew there, so she adds a bit. Yor and Yuri both take a spoonful of the stew and quickly look at each other with surprise.
At the Forger household, Loid is training Bond a bit and thinks about how bright Bond is and how he should get security dog training. Anya tells Loid that she is really hungry with her stomach growling, and he realizes how late it is. Yor arrives home with a bag of ingredients and proclaims that she will be making dinner tonight, and Loid and Anya look at her in shock and worry.
Yor starts making the stew, tells them that she has been taking cooking lessons, and apologizes for hiding it. She serves them both a bowl of the stew, and they worriedly take a bite of it. They both give a look of surprise and tell Yor that it is good. They both continue eating the dish, and Yor begins to cry because of how happy she is. She realizes that this marriage is not just to protect her contract-killing job but also because she likes making her family happy. Loid tells her that he cannot wait to see what she makes next, so she presents them with a "Yor Forger original" dish. Loid and Anya both excitedly eat the dish before collapsing to the ground.

== Trivia ==
* When preparing the stew, Camilla mentions the style is from the South, possibly hinting that the Briars may be from an Ostanian region that corresponds with real-life Thuringia or Saxony.
* This is the first chapter to give Camilla a major role. Endo created this story wanting to redeem her.
