隶and his daring escape

は表外漢字です。It means slave.  I picture it as a hand working a butter churn that's sort of splashy.  I'm going to use the meaning "criminal" (next symbol) here, because I couldn't find a happy ending for my mnemonic story otherwise -- there was no symbol in this group for "escape" or "abolish slavery."
, slave/criminal:    The samurai from last time was seized at the altar as a
                                   slave/criminal.  Oops.
, chase/arrest:     Once in motion, the criminal is chased and arrested.
, peace/ease:       When the criminal's in the Big House, everything is peaceful
                                  again.  Until the next exciting episode.
