As Hank and his friends continue their trip to Japan, they are surprised to find that their hosts are actually the Japanese businessmen whom Hank and his father had fought against during World War II. Meanwhile, Peggy and Bobby stay behind in Arlen, where Peggy confesses to Nancy that she feels guilty for not going with Hank to Japan and worries that he might be getting into trouble. Back in Japan, Hank must confront the guilt and shame that his father passed down to him, as he and his hosts both acknowledge the painful history between their nations. The episode explores themes of cultural misunderstanding, generational trauma, and the possibility of reconciliation between nations with a difficult past.
