The Japanese drama ‘Meitantei no Mama de Ite’ (Stay as a Great Detective) has progressed through key plot developments involving its central characters, Kaede and her grandfather.

In episode four, the grandfather uses deductive reasoning to identify Kuki as the stalker targeting Kaede, revealing that Kuki’s perceived devotion to his daughter was a fabrication. Episode five shifted focus to a mystery involving a high school student’s grandmother, which ended with the grandfather appearing to experience a hallucination and mistakenly addressing Kaede by her mother’s name.

In episode seven, a mystery novelist’s party becomes a crime scene. While Kaede is walking with her colleague Iwata, she is attacked by a figure in black. Shiki, a character who had been missing from the narrative, intervenes to protect her but is stabbed in the process, uttering the cryptic phrase, ‘It is according to my scenario.’

The series concluded with its final episode on September 4. The high-stakes drama escalated when the grandfather was attacked by an unidentified assailant. Although he survived the encounter, he suffered broken ribs and pneumonia, leading doctors to inform the family that medical intervention had reached its limits. In an emotional scene, Kaede pleaded with her unconscious grandfather not to leave her alone. The finale also resolved the romantic tension between Kaede and her colleagues, Shiki and Iwata, while ultimately revealing the identity of the attacker and resolving the central mysteries of the plot.
