Why does she commission a wicker husband?
Ostracized for rejecting village marriage norms, the Fisherwoman asks the Basket Weaver to build her a husband. She marries the woven man one month later. Their bond gives her care and respect the village never offered.
The marriage draws envy rather than acceptance. Neighbors resent her happiness and look for a way to spoil it. That jealousy sets up the false scandal.
What breaks the marriage?
The Tailor's Wife presents a Wicker Baby as proof that the Husband fathered another woman's child. Villagers spread the claim as evidence of infidelity.
Believing it, the Fisherwoman confronts her husband and throws a lamp. The fire looks final because wicker burns fast. She grieves the loss as her own fault.

How is the cheating claim exposed?
JustWatch Guides explains that woven beings cannot reproduce in its ending breakdown. The Basket Weaver says the Baby was separately commissioned as a prop. It was meant to fuel gossip, not proof of an affair.
That fact reframes the Fisherwoman's guilt. She destroyed a faithful partner over a planted lie. It also leaves her responsible for the abandoned Baby.
How do they reunite, and what limits it?
The Weaver reveals he found and repaired the burned Husband. He brings the grieving Fisherwoman and rescued Baby to him. She apologizes, and he accepts her for sheltering the child.
Their restored time is finite. The Weaver warns that mold in the repaired body will worsen. Zoom TV reports the final exit in its ending explanation: the Weaver auctions a fake blackthorn Wicker Wife for the villagers' best gifts, then leaves town by cart with the Fisherwoman, Husband, Baby and collected goods.
