I thought this episode was better than the previous one. I had almost forgotten that Keiichi wasn’t a very sharp individual. I kind of felt sorry for Sayoko for most of the episode because her feelings just kept getting stepped on. We got to see a side of Sayoko that we have not seen previous to this episode. For instance, it was made to appear at first that Sayoko had stolen the sweater. If it was the old Sayoko then she would have done it. Even though she did try to do her best in her own way she couldn’t throw away her pride. As great as it was to see this new side of her it looked like she was pretty much back to her old self by the end. I guess it was a good thing though since we are left knowing that she wasn’t too hurt by the whole situation.
