Chizuru Yukimura is goaded by Soji Okita to be an undercover geisha again. Okita's tuberculosis starts to plague him. Commander Isami Kondo becomes worried and orders Okita to be grounded. Chizuru goes out with the gang to celebrate her successful undercover mission, and Shinpachi Nagakura gets into a drunken brawl on the way back. Kondo personally dices spring onion into the porridge he asks Chizuru to cook for Okita, and the latter finishes it all despite his distaste for the plant.
