 Sadly we're down to 2 episodes to go, will try to wrap this up quickly, notice the more I like a drama the shorter the recaps tend to be, perhaps because I don't want to spoil it too much as I really hope these want to make others watch it.
 Taku is still trying to get Chie to go out with him, she just can not say yes as she can't get over her feelings for Eisuke and don't think those feelings will ever change. Problem is will her love remain one sided or will Eisuke finally come around, least she still has a backup in Taku who doesn't seem like a bad guy, he's really turned over a leaf since the show started.
 But the story which tops Chie's one sided love is a potential problem for Eisuke and the restaurant. The landlord will not review their lease and they don't have much time to leave, they look for another location but cannot find one even close to being suitable. This sounds like something the rival restaurant owner Aso would have planned but her didn't, however he's come up with a nice plan for himself and Eisuke. That plan is for Eisuke to go train as a chef in France for two years and when he returns he'll become the head chef at  anew restaurant Aso would be opening in 2 years. Also he'd be willing to hire Kenta and Tsuyoshi until Eisuke comes back, it all sounds like a good plan for Eisuke's future but is he going to accept it?
 At the conclusion of this episode he's still a bit unsure of what to do, leave his girlfriend and ex band members or to stay and do whatever as he has no plans if the restaurant has to shut down. It's a big decision as it affects many people and the answer to that is in the next post as we look at the finale of this drama.
