About this episode
Two stories from Japan. On the first, a former samurai's wife is up to something and he's going to figure out what. On the second, we'll see that kindness matters most...but only if you're absolutely forced into doing it.
The creature is the salamander! It'll turn you into a spicy human burrito!
