In a haze of incense, Yosuke storms into Kihachi's workshop and demands the Catalog — and his fiancée. But why does Inako have it in the first place?

Before Kihachi can figure out how to fix the electric key, Kengo breaks down and confesses the secret he's been carrying for the past three years.

Kihachi makes a shocking decision to protect Inako, but she takes matters into her own hands. Yosuke reminisces about his first meeting with Seiroku.
