As she has gotten her revenge, Sawa struggles with the idea of killing more people. She meets with Jin, who tells her that Makoto seems to have replaced Janome as the newest threat to the shogunate by supplying guns to the rebels.
Meanwhile, Elena is pregnant and isn’t exactly sure who the father is. But her ghostwriter, who has harbored romantic feelings for her for a long time, is willing to serve in that role for the child. Makoto prepares to leave Japan but learns Sawa is still alive from the foreign agent. When she decides to stay in Japan a little longer, the foreign agent seemingly kills her.
