Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again episode 1 recap
In the previous episode, Shouzou Saitou was seen asking his wife Ine what she would do if she could be young again, as they were so poor in their youth that they did not even have the opportunity for a honeymoon. Ine said that she was content chatting with him. They then visited the apple tree they had planted at the start of their marriage, 60 years ago, and discovered a golden apple on its branch. After eating it, they found themselves turned young again, though their hair remained white.
The episode then focused on their family's reactions. Their granddaughter, Mino, and daughter-in-law, Kaede, were smitten by Shouzou's youthful looks, while their eldest son, Yoshiaki, was irritated. However, when Ine patted his head and acknowledged his efforts, it softened him, though he remained stoic.
The episode also showed Shouzou and Ine's interactions with their old friends. Shouzou became popular among the elderly women during their routine croquet games at the park, while Ine attended to the old men, serving them tea.
Next, their friends roped them in for the Inter-town Sports Festival, hoping they would help their team, Minamimachi Neighborhood Association, defeat the Kitamachi Neighborhood Council, who had younger contestants. On the day of the contest, Igarashi Heisuke was bragging about his grandchildren, Shouta and Daiki, but they eventually lost to the Saitous' strength, talent, and coordination.
Afterwards, when Ine handed out the food she had prepared to the Igarashis, it was revealed that Heisuke had admitted his feelings for her in his youth.
As a token of gratitude, Heisuke sent some food back to the Saitous' house through Shouta. Here it was revealed that Shouta had a crush on Mino, although he did not know she was related to the Saitous. Mino was impressed by Shouta's athleticism, and after he left, expressed her wish to spend time with him.
The episode ended with the story of Shouzou and Ine's marriage. It was a love marriage which was unusual for the time, and Shouzou had to fight his father to marry Ine, who, for her part, had scared off the woman chosen to be Shouzou's bride.
