You were so close, Juuden. So very very close.

Impressions:

Despite this episode having only two leaky vagina incidents, only one of those actually shown and the other taking place soooooo close to the end, it was probably the weakest of the three episodes. I can’t be mad though, because the ending was hilarious. Aresta awoke to being a masochist and attempted to club herself with a baseball bat. When that didn’t work, she turned on Plug for further testing. Of all the places I thought this show would be going, Aresta attempting to bludgeon herself in the face for a masturbatory thrill was not one of them.

Like I said though, the rest of the episode wasn’t great. They expanded on Sento’s ability to interact with the otherworlders a little more, but didn’t offer anything beyond his power just extending to whatever he’s touching. Sento’s sixth sense for finding depressed people was also rather lame. Even when they explained it later as just him noticing the habits and look associated with depression, it really doesn’t actually logically work against the device that does all that in a split second.

Brief Summary:

Plug’s on probation for the episode because of Aresta, who is pretty much given the job of looking over her for now. On her way to find Plug, she wanders into Sento’s house after Plug gets beaten for breaking in and watching porn. Aresta gets taken down by Sento just afterward. When she comes to, she threatens to report Sento’s abilities to the head office and reveals that Plug’s on probation. Sento drags her into a competition to find depressed people to prove that the Juudens are morons. After operating his sixth sense to find depressed people, Sento manages to win. Aresta breaks down in tears because she never loses, and Plug snaps all kinds of incriminating pictures. Sento feels bad for her and relents a bit, but Plug and Aresta get into a fight over the pictures. Stray debris hits Sento and he smacks them both with his bat. Aresta revels in the pain and wets herself.

After the ED, Aresta thinks to herself how good it felt and tries to knock herself in the head to repeat it. When that fails, she hunts down Plug in the hallways, hits her with a bat, and then demands to know if it felt good.

Aresta’s search for abuse continues. Hakone becomes slightly more insane.
