Miki, who'd rather die than be made a laughingstock on TV, begs Maki to teach her how to cook! Meanwhile, Karauri's sister vehemently refuses to meet with any suitor her parents find for her. Husband? More like husb…ugh?

In search of his own roots, Kan the cat takes a trip to Egypt, where he hits it off with the goddess Bastet! And on another occasion, he throws out his back while trying to memorize a bollywood dance… The iconic cat of the Sotai Court is as whimsical as ever.
