Kiyomori, after being released, faces scolding from his younger brother, Iemori, who flatly says that Kiyomori's behavior was inappropriate as the heir of the Taira family. Yorinaga, who wanted to drive Kiyomori into a corner at the Gion incident, approaches Iemori who was performing a dance at a festival in place of Kiyomori. Meanwhile, Kiyomori bumps into Yoshitomo at a market, and while they are drinking together, they encounter a woman dressed in shabby clothes, named Tokiwa, who later becomes deeply involved with the Taira family and the Minamoto family.
