Episode Title:
Sizzling and Popping.
Episode Description:
Shiina invites Ryō and Kirin to her place for some charcoal grilled saury, with Shiina insisting that Kirin help her and Tsuyuko with the cooking instead of Ryō. While making preparations, Kirin tells Shiina that she believes Ryō has been feeling down following Obon as it reminded her of her grandmother. On the day of the grill party, Tsuyuko stresses to Ryō the importance of relying on others, asking her not to interfere with Kirin and Shiina even when they run into trouble. After using Tsuyuko's advice to successfully grill some fish, Kirin and Shiina give them to Ryō as thanks for everything she has cooked for them, becoming glad to find she enjoys them. As Tsuyuko decides to help Kirin and Shiina build their skills, she asks that Ryō learn to rely on them some more. However, when the pair get into trouble while washing the dishes, Ryō simply can't hold herself back anymore and helps out. Afterwards, Ryō finds that there's even more fun to be had when you cook something together with someone you love.
