* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The "Before We Part Ways" arc (from Part 201) ends with the rape case not being brought forward as the prosecutors can't prove that Yabu was raped by her two male superiors in her apartment and the company vice president wanted to technically blame her instead at first. She, however, was relieved about it and her mom said the family will move away to another place to get away from publicity. But since one of the suspects died after killing himself, the wife wanted to sue the Machiyama Police Station. While she did not do so, the force had no choice but to reassign Hojo and Nasu away, which sealed their fates as not being able to do detective work. Makitaka also had to be transferred due to her anger about the force being sued. A few other officers were transferred out as well to fill in the gaps.]]
