The stage set is lit low as an audible audience gathers for the final, absurdist episode. As Kouhei, Hazuki, Elfriede, Ryuuhei, Haiji, Hiraku, Kaoru and Arte enjoy breakfast, Seiji alone is maddened by an awareness that their antique shop has become a houseboat stranded in the middle of the ocean. As Ryuuhei and Elfriede blow terms of endearment each other's way, Kouhei and Hazuki exchange their usual tiff-tinged banter. Arte, still adjusting to living a normal life, proves herself a naughty girl by nearly sinking the shop (yes, "shop") and nearing drowning Saiji, showing Hazuki the need for showing patience while being her big sister. As Hiromi rides away on her dolphins, Arte finally pops the cork on this show, sending it to the belly of the beast.
