While the finale is inevitable - Valentin takes his mother, his uncle and his girlfriend (who has become a bit too insistent about getting married) to a final meal - its setting is not: a Japanese restaurant where he feeds them fugu, a fish that's filled with lethal toxins unless filleted perfectly.
