The episode began with Yabushige meeting Toranaga. Toranaga offered Yabushige more land in Suruga if he safely escorted John and Lady Kiri to Ajiro, a fishing village.

Ishido checked everything was okay after hearing about their sudden departure. He wanted his men to join the escort to ensure it wasn’t a trick.

Lady Shizu pretended to be in labor so Toranaga could switch with Lady Kiri. Despite clearance from Ishido, they were stopped again at Osaka Palace. John caused a commotion, allowing them to pass. On the way, Kiyama attacked, revealing Toranaga. They reached the ship but had to leave Buntaro behind.

John had an idea to escape from attackers by getting on a big Portuguese ship. Toranaga talked with them to make it happen, but one condition was that John had to stay behind. However, John took charge of a smaller ship with the crew.

Later in Osaka, Toranaga quit the Council of Regents and canceled his impeachment. Toranaga then made John a Hatamoto and told him to teach diving. After some demonstrations, Toranaga challenged John to a race to the shore.
