He expresses his feelings to her and the two start seeing each other. Meanwhile, the Pilot is sent to Korea to pursue his duties. However there is a twist in their relationship, according to American law, the officers can’t marry a Japanese woman.

One day the couple got into an ugly argument and the pilot used a racial slur against his lady love. However, he apologizes later and promises her to be the best husband ever.

Their relationship goes through a lot of ups and downs and taking it forward is not easy for a man serving the American Army. The two however get married and promise to face each hurdle together. But Katsumi gets heartbroken when she discovers her husband is taking interest in some other woman.

The lady is a famous kabuki performer Nakamura. Joe and his team get to hear the shocking announcement that all the men who are married to Japanese women have been asked to report back to their countries.
