How It All Goes Down
- Chiyo prepares for her debut as a geisha.
- She is given a fine silk kimono and a hairstyle assisted by a big Jersey Shore-style bump.
- At night, Chiyo must sleep on a funny wooden prop, instead of a pillow, to protect her bumped-up hairdo.
- Finally, Chiyo and Mameha perform a ceremony to bind them as sisters.
- There's a lot of clapping at a shrine, followed by sipping sake at a teahouse. It's like the geisha version of that "Cups" song.
- With the ceremony comes a new name for Chiyo: Sayuri.
- Mameha teaches Sayuri to pour sake while seductively revealing her inner arm.
- Then it's time to work. Sayuri must attend many parties, chat with men, pour tea, and otherwise be entertaining.
- A party at the Komoriya Teahouse is going swimmingly…until Hatsumomo and Pumpkin crash the party.
