Maybe Tomorrow
- The rice plants continue to wilt in the paddy, and Ama makes an offering to the goddess, praying for rain.
- Lakshmi's stepfather says that if the rains don't arrive, Ama will have to sell her earrings, which she has been saving to give to Lakshmi on the day of Lakshmi's wedding.
- Any other time, Ama would say never, but this time, she says "Maybe tomorrow" (17.MaybeTomorrow.8).
