Plot Overview in Brief
After having eaten at a restaurant instead of at the Tendo Dojo, Ranma, Genma, Soun, Nabiki and Akane return to find a knife seemingly stabbed into the floor along with a broken vase. They group then believe this is because they told Kasumi not to make dinner for them, when she had already started cooking it, so she's gotten mad (something none of them, not even Soun, has seen before). This causes them to go into a panic as they prepare a party to cheer up Kasumi, while also trying to avoid her as well. Eventually, everyone decides to offer Ranma as a sacrifice to Kasumi (much to his disagreement), after Ranma finds Kasumi the rest of the group hear Ranma's screams coming from inside the dojo. Ranma then falls through the door, shaking in terror, and the group see Kasumi holding a cat. Kasumi then explains that the cat got into the house and broke the vase as well as make the knife fall into the floor, she continues that she tried to get rid of the cat before Ranma came back due to his ailurophobia. Kasumi then learns of the broken cup and her sweater she's been knitting being unraveled. Ranma is then used as a scapegoat by the others and learns what Kasumi is really like when she's angry. However, all Kasumi does is point at Ranma's head and call him 'Me' (a traditional form of punishment used by Japanese mothers to their misbehaving children).
