With the help of Sunny, she and Mixxy (Annie the Clumsy) sneak in and eavesdrop on a conversation between a group of men, with one of them being Hime's cousin.
The discussion of these men is interrupted when Hime's henchman arrives and kills one of them for behing disloyal to Hime.
Mixxy and Suzie witness the murder and are scared out of their wits.
Meanwhile, Sunny gets Suzie's mother-in-law, Noriko (Judy Ongg) drunk and goes through her belongings. A document suggests that Noriko had an affair and Masa's real father is a man named Hiromasa Matsumoto.
Mixxy believes that Masa's real father could be a Yakuza, which would explain Hime's presence at the funeral.
Suzie visits the insurance company and raises her concern of fraud as Hiromasa was made Masa's beneficiary just three days before his death.
When she returns home, she is shattered to see that someone broke into her house and made it a mess in search of something confidential. She breaks into tears while Sunny suggests that they should leave.
