Today’s episode is: A Solitary New Year.
Today’s episode has everyone cleaning Shigure’s house for New Years, even Uotani and Hanajima. Well, almost everyone. Shigure keeps trying to dodge his editor Mitsuru. The poor woman. The worst part is that Shigure is actually done with the manuscript. He just likes teasing her. The sliding paper door keeps getting recked and while it isn’t entirely Kyo’s fault, is is involved each time, much to Uotani’s annoyance. And Hanajima’s work on the bathrooms is nothing less than gothic art.
Tohru finds out that all the Sohmas, including Kyo, are expected at a special Sohma family celebration. Yuki and Kyo both don’t want to go, but Tohru urges them to go spend time with their families. Knowing that Tohru will never spend time with the mother she loved so much again, they feel compelled to go. They run into Hanajima on their way over, and she says how she is worried about Tohru spending her first New Years all alone with no family and friends. Yuki and Kyo decide to go back, and it is a good thing they did since Tohru was lonely and missing her mother. The three of them enjoy the sunrise together on New Years Day and make a wish for the new year. Kyo’s wish is of course to beat Yuki^^;
