Summary
Background
This episode was pretty long, so I divided it into two parts.
In part 1, we see what's become of poor Rin. In part 2, we follow
the ongoing drama of Anotsu and Hisoka.

At the beginning, we see poor Rin stumbling and landing on her face- she
was kind of dazed because she hadn't been eating anything lately- she hardly
has any money left. After apologizing and stumbling off somewhere
else, Rin decides that it's time for her to start finding food by herself.
She recalls some incidents with Manji. For example, one time when
they were hungry, Manji set up a bird-trap with his hat and they were eating
yaki-tori all day.
So Rin gets all encouraged- she finds a stick, puts some string
on it, puts ties a piece of old shrimp to the string, and off she goes-
"I'm gonna catch something!" A couple hours later all she's caught
is forty winks. So she tries to do something else:
She remembers a time when she and Manji were by a river. Manji picked
up a huge rock, smashed another rock with it, and in one shot killed some
24 fish that they were eating for the rest of the afternoon. Rin
finds a rock and attempts to do the same thing...
And, expectedly, falls on her ass. In a river.
Later that night a wet, desperate and disheveled Rin approaches a
food vendor closing for the night and begs them "Um... excuse me... could
you give me something to eat for this?" It's probably the last of
her money.
