mbarkera.k.a. I know you!
The episode started with Fumie and Shigeru leaving the Murai house. Then we see the two of them walking by water -- there's a net and glass floats by the path. Shigeru apologizes for his parents, and there's a short flashback medley of the mother throwing the towel down, Shuhei and Kinuyo chewing their different breakfasts, etc. Then Shigeru switches his bundle for Fumie's suitcase, and she says "Dan dan" (thank you).
Run the tightened theme (I think they've cut some pieces out of it).
On the train platform -- with the voiceover explaining that in that era, the trip to Tokyo was a long day. Then Yukie (Fumie's second sister) and Fumie's little sister run up. Fumie asks her little sister about school, and she says she is skipping today. Yukie gives them a box of soba (noodles). And Fumie's brothers turn up. The little sister introduces herself to Shigeru, and asks him to take care of Fumie. One of the brothers gives them a small net bag of mikan (oranges) to eat on the trip. And the other sister, carrying a baby on her back and with a little boy, turns up with Miyako (Fumie's mother).
The little boy walks over and stares at Shigeru's empty sleeve. Shigeru rolls his shoulder and flips it up, crossing his arms. Fumie's little sister says, "Wow, that was skillful." Shigeru laughs.
Miyako explains that the little boy was worried about Fumie. The little boy asks, "Where are you going?" Tokyo. "When will you be back? Tomorrow?" One of the brothers says "If she comes back tomorrow, something's wrong." Then the little boy steps close to Fumie and says, "Come home with me now?" Miyako and his mother pull him back.
Fumie asks, "What about Genbee?" Miyako says, "He's taking care of the store."
And we see a customer complimenting Genbee about the marraige. And asking whether he shouldn't be seeing Fumie off? Genbee says no, it's better this way. Across the way, the nosy neighbors are saying that Genbee could have closed the store for a day...
At the train station, Fumie is hugging the little boy. Then Miyako gives Fumie a package -- sekihan (red beans and rice, a celebration treat) that she says she has made into onigiri (rice balls). There's also a bottle of tea. And Miyako begs Shigeru, "Please, take care of Fumie. I don't know anything about Tokyo, but ... please take care of her." He says he understands.
Fumie and Shigeru open the train window and look out. There's an exchange of be healthy, take care of yourself, and so on. Yukie jokes that Genbee was smart, he avoided embarrassing himself with these crying faces...
Meanwhile, at home, Genbee is burning incense at the household shrine, talking to the picture of grandmother. The train will be leaving soon... and he stands up, raises his arms, and loudly exclaims, "Fight on, Fumie! Banzai!"
At the station, everyone is raising their arms and calling, "Fight on, Fumie! Banzai!"
The train pulls out, and the little family group walks along the platform. The little boy cries out. Fumie calls, "Okasan!" (mother)
There's a medley of clips, of the mother, grandmother, etc. Family life.
And Fumie says, "Sayonara." (this goodbye is rarely used in Japan, because it holds an expectation of not coming back. There are several ways to say goodbye that imply meeting later, and they are more widely used.)
Fumie and Shigeru are sitting side-by-side. Fumie says, "What is akebane like?" Shigeru looks surprised, and then says, "Oh, akebane in Tokyo?" Then he starts to talk about tanuki (raccoons) cheating people. Fumie says, "Is the country that close?" Shigeru looks confused, then says, "Oh, no, tanuki is an old story." After a while, Shigeru suggests that they eat mikan (oranges). Fumie carefully gets out a handkerchief and puts it on his lap, then gives him an orange. He starts tearing off the skin with his hand, and she offers to take the skin off. He says, "No, I can do it. Almost anything a person could do, I can do."
Next, they are sleeping in the seats. It's night outside. There's a commotion -- an argument -- further down the compartment. Fumie wakes up and watches. A conductor is arguing with a young punk, saying that you can't just take this old woman's seat. The young punk pulls her bag from under him, and the older woman grabs it, and says it's not important, I'll sit somewhere else. The conductor rousts the punk, who says he didn't want to sit there anyway.
The man in the seat across from Shigeru gets up and sets his hat on his seat. He walks away.
The young punk turns and looks around. Then he points, and says, "You!" He runs right at Fumie.
Then the young punk grabs the sleeping Shigeru, and says, "Ge-ge? Is it really you?" He shakes Shigeru, and pinches his cheek. "Wake up, it's me!"
