How It All Goes Down
- Sayuri is humiliated that the Chairman caught her with the Minister.
- That evening, she confronts Pumpkin.
- Pumpkin says she brought the Chairman as revenge. She is still angry that Mother adopted Sayuri instead of her.
- Pumpkin says she told Sayuri what Hatsumomo said to Dr. Crab, and that's how she repaid her.
- What little friendship they had is officially over.
- After returning to the mainland, Sayuri receives word from Iwamura Electric to meet at the teahouse.
- She expects Nobu, but she gets the Chairman instead. Upgrade!
- The Chairman has a lot to say.
- He knows she is the girl from many years ago, because he could never forget her striking eyes.
- He always wanted her, but Nobu wanted her too. As his friend, the Chairman felt obligated to be Nobu's wingman.
- But Nobu learned what Sayuri did with the Minister on the island, and now he hates her guts.
- So this means the Chairman can have Sayuri to himself.
- Yay?
- He kisses her, which is all Sayuri has wanted for, like, a decade, and she feels like he has caught her from a long, dangerous fall.
