It's another, wonderful, tear-jerking episode. Mita has left the household, only to become the housekeeper for the nosy and mean neighbor next door. The kids and father Keiichi unsuccessfully try to get Mita to come back. Yui knows that Mita does dangerous things hoping to hurt herself and that working for the neighbor will lead to trouble. The neighbor orders Mita to kill her husband, herself, and their child in a fire (ironically). When the neighbor sees Mita actually following through, the neighbor tells Mita to kill herself, which is just what Mita was waiting for. She pours kerosene on herself and holds a candle...but the kids rush in and stop her. Mita explains she became a robotic housekeeper so that she would have as little free will as possible since every time she acted on her own, something terrible happened. They tell her they want to protect her and it seems to get through. Mita shows some emotion for once, anger and tears. She comes back to the household, but experiences a daydream/vision/haunting of her husband and little boy. I sense a catharsis coming for Mita very soon. Urara notices Mita is back and looks a bit jealous. In fact, she confides to Mita that she likes her brother-in-law Keiichi. I wonder what Mita will do with this info.
