This episode ended with many bits from next week. I think they stretched the time for previews from the normal minute to two minutes. Some of the ones I caught included: Fumie in a kimono in front of manga character sketches, saying "Arigato." (thank you). Genbee holding his hands up in prayer. Miyako nodding in the doorway. Aiko and Yoshiko smiling. The two editors -- Toyokawa and Kitamura, from Shonen Land -- in suits with drinks. Fumie and Shigeru standing in the woods. Kanou, the professional woman, in a purple dress. Shigeru and others in funeral suits. Kameda, the pawn shop owner, laughing. Fumie crying. A manga sketch of Kitaro, his eyeball father, the sandthrowing hag, and the ratman. Uraki waving an invitation. Inui and Sanae, Japan's smallest publisher and his wife. Shigeru in a top hat raising a glass of juice. The three wives in the doorway. Taichi laughing. Yuichi and Sachiko. Several others -- it looks like in the last week we're going to see everyone again. And the final bit with Fumie saying, "Always together."

[Brandon] This has been Writing Excuses. We had way too many tangents in this episode, so maybe you do have a few excuses. But go write anyway.
[Howard] On human skin.
[Brandon] Don't write on human skin.
