Episode synopsis
It's been days since Suzu (Matsumoto Honoka) married Hojo Shusaku (Matsuzaka Tori). The Hojo family home is located on a mountain with no running water, so Suzu's daily routine is to fetch water from the community well. Her next-door neighbor, Kariya Taki (Kino Hana) , tells her about the neighborhood. She's gradually become acquainted with the neighbors, like Taki's daughter, Sachiko (Ito Sari), and Domoto Shino (Tsuchimura Kaori). Suzu begins to realize that she has become a bride. Suzu wants to learn the family customs from her mother-in-law, San (Ito Ran), but is reluctant to ask because San has a bad leg. Meanwhile, San also does not interfere with the housework. One day, Keiko (Ono Machiko) returns to the Hojo household with her daughter Harumi (Inagaki Raizumi). Keiko tells Suzu that she will take care of the Hojo household chores and that she should go back to her parents' home. Suzu decides to return to her parents' home one month after getting married.
