## Netflix Synopsis

"Retsuko uncovers Haida's actions after he gets his own office and seeks advice from Ton. Finally, Retsuko decides to confront Haida."

## Summary

Retsuko returns to Ton without the humidifier. That annoys him, but he tells her to bring it tomorrow. Retsuko tell him that Haida redid the ledger she was in charge of and wonders if its normal for a director to do it, but Ton tells her its not normal.

Retsuko tells Fenneko about it, but Fenneko doesn't believe that Haida is falsifying accounts. Fenneko and Retsuko then see the office is being reorganized and Anai explains the workers had been working during the weekend and they are moving the director's desk. Haida explains that traditionally in Japan, the director's desk is farthest from the entrance, however the sun is behind the director and he ends up keeping the blinds closed. That's why Haida decided to reorganize it and have the windows area for meetings. Haida then enters hi new office that has a lock, causing Fenneko to be suspicious.

Retsuko tells Ton that she tried to access the file from her computer and recheck if he changed the numbers, but she no longer had access. Ton find it suspicious too and explains she can only access it from his computer. After work, Haida visits the records store and ends up meeting Inui. The two end up going out for drinks. Inui reveals she was released from her job, but it was a temp job, so its fine. Haida is surprised to learn this, which annoys Inui as she had told him this before. Inui then asks him if he even pays attention to his girlfriend and Haida states he do.

Retsuko calls Kabae for help. In a secret mission, Retsuko and Kabae use the air ducts to reach Haida's office. Kabae lowers Retsuko with a rope, and she turns Haida's computer, but sees there is a password. Fenneko, who also helps them, tells Retsuko the password should be Haida's birthday, August 3rd. Retsuko is in, but the file is also password protected. Fenneko tells her to use "retsuko" as password. Retsuko doubts it, but puts it in, however the password is incorrect. Fenneko then tells her to use "retsuko love". As the password is incorrect again, Fenneko tells her to replace the O in "love" with zero, and "retsuko l0ve" ends up being the correct password. Retsuko then copies all the files to a flash drive.

Ton looks at the files and comment that while its well done, some numbers are sticking out. He also found an invoice template, which only sales division should have. With that, Ton is sure that Haida is in the fraud and is window dressing. However, they don't have hard evidence and would need the original unchanged files.

Retsuko visits Haida at home. She asks him what he is doing at work after the work hours, but Haida states he has lots of odd jobs as director. She then directly asks him if he is doing something bad like window dressing, but Haida denies it while laughing. Haida then asks her what has she been doing lately. He knows she has been singing and Retsuko almost tells him she was been working with Manaka and Tadano. Haida tells her he doesn't like the allegations and that he has been thinking about his future and success. Retsuko thinks he looks unhappy, but Haida explains that he is an adult and not everything can be fun. Later, Retsuko goes to Ton and tells him she spoke with Haida, but he scolds her as Himuro may end up what she was doing.

Haida tells Himuro about Retsuko, but Himuro states its fine and he should continue. Haida wonders if this is really the right thing and Himuro explains its the right thing and necessary for the company. Himuro says that Haida shouldn't doubt himself, or he will lose everything, including the ability to protect what's dear to him, like Ton did.

Himuro takes out Washimi to dinner. She asks him what is dear to him, causing him to wonder if she heard his conversation with Haida. He explains that he doesn't hold anything dear as that would make him weak. Washimi states that it could also make him strong. He agrees, stating it depends on the person and wonders if she is looking for his weakness. Washimi recalls that he said that leading an organization requires the ability to tell who will be obedient or not and wonders what he thinks of Retsuko. Himuro then says that Retsuko seems the obedient type. Washimi then confirms he is correct.
