Discussing Toronaga's Impeachment[]

Later, after Toronaga resigns, The Council of Regents meets again to discuss impeaching Toronaga. Ishido reminds them this isn’t possible since the Council is now incomplete after his resignation. They all suggest a replacement but can't seem to agree.
A Forced Vote[]
Ishido has taken the regents hostage, including their families, in the castle to force a vote against Toronaga, citing that he believes there is a threat on the heir as his reasoning. In the castle, the regents wait until a fifth regent is confirmed before the vote. Lord Ito is proposed as the option for the fifth regent. They all vote yes except for Lord Sugiyama, insistent that there is no real threat to the heir.
Mariko's Defiance Act[]
After Mariko attempts to leave and Ishido's guards won't help her, she asks Lord Kiyama and Lord Ohno to demand for them to move but they said they are powerless to do anything as they are Ishido’s men. They insist that Mariko not be harmed by the men.
