The episode begins with Shinozaki and Katase being tasked with finding some old merchandise related to the company mascot "Meowtaro" for the upcoming 30th-anniversary exhibition. They head to the basement to search. During their search, they come across Ito Yuri and Yoshida Masao from the public relations department, who are in the midst of an office romance. Shinozaki and Katase quickly hide in a cramped space to avoid being noticed.

While hiding, they overhear Ito and Yoshida's intimate conversation and struggle with the discomfort of their own close proximity. Katase suggests using the office chat to lure Ito and Yoshida away. Shinozaki reaches for Katase's phone in her back pocket, leading to an even more awkward moment. Eventually, they manage to send a message that successfully distracts Ito and Yoshida.

After the coast is clear, Shinozaki and Katase find the Meowtaro merchandise they were looking for and decide to head back. On their way out, they overhear a conversation about how office romances can lead to transfers and hinder work performance. This prompts both of them to reconsider the nature of their own relationship.

Later, Shinozaki wants to speak with Katase privately, which leads her to speculate about the possible reasons. They both recall the recent incident involving Ito and Yoshida and how it resulted in Yoshida's transfer. This makes them wary of the potential consequences of an office romance. In the end, they agree to remain good colleagues, as they value the stability of their current relationship more than the risk of becoming, as they put it, "totally, utterly, absolutely stupid."
