Wtf people stopped making episode discussions for this?
A decent episode. Kinda slow, but the story was developed a bit more in this episode, which was good.

Medium episode. But they are more closer to Hiroshi now - that's great!

Are you kidding! I loved this episode. Very fun and interesting. The ending was kind of like "Damn, I thought you were one of the good guys." but it was cute.

wow...the beginning was kinda..creepy and absurd, talk about romanticism? That woman was weird indeed..but every time they show something new about Hiroshi I feel like I know less and get more curious..

Yeah I didn't find the mole hair a very romantic topic, but oh well.

Otherwise I think this was a great episode. Good action, lots of awesome "camera" angles and scenery. I've yet to be disappointed by an episode of this show. Even the slower episodes have a reason behind them.

This. It's very odd and hopefully the reason doesn't disappoint, as far as the story goes..

Didn't like it. Slow episode, awkward characters, and they couldn't decide if this episode was supposed to ve funny, romantic or with action. Nope.

Really disappointed that Michiko didn't punch that lady in the eye or something.

I mean, they designed her so even her face was annoying right?

So after that I guess it's supposed to be a surprise that she helps Michiko, but I don't really care.

A strange beginning to an odd episode and what was with the kiss?

I wonder why Hiroshi is avoiding them I'm glad the plot has moved farther along.

Not sure Hiroshi is really such a "nice" guy . . . It kind of sounds like he just bums off of random woman for awhile playing the good guy then runs off. I mean there is also the question of Hatchin's real mother.

After finishing this series and looking back, this chick in the episode with the hairy mole on her arm was the realest character, and had it going on. The ending of the series and her saying it feels good moving on made me appreciate her a lot more since she had a good head on her shoulders when I think about it.

Pretty good episode, I always enjoy Michiko's style. xD

Atsuko once again so close...but Michiko & Hatchin got away, but it's great to see Atsuko back in action on the chase again.

That lady kissing Michiko omg that was funny she just went right in LOL

Can't wait till they find Hiroshi...I need to see how that encounter goes.

I hope so too cuz I feel like I'm starting to dislike his character,his behaviour is starting to seem very cowardly .

Agreed.I had thought that Michiko was Hatchin's mom ? Or maybe she was lying when she had said so on the phone?

Hiroshi is a jerk and a coward, and Michiko is a moron. When the security guard said "authorized personnel only" and she pulled out the newspaper article I was like "are you kidding me?" No. Michiko is actually just THAT stupid. Honestly, I'm surprised that Hatchin didn't react to the "bait" comment. I guess it's a mutual cause of Stockholm and Lima Syndrome.
This is honestly being dragged out way too long. I might bump the rating from an 8 to a 7 at this rate.

i agree! it was pretty... i mean at the end when the red head gave them up & said "it just wasn't right" or "it feels good to move on huh" that was something. idk how to describe it either. really interesting episode. i wish i could find the song that was playing at the end...

Hiroshi's breakup line was a disaster... I wonder how much of what we know about Hiroshi is true. Maybe that's one of the themes of this show: what does it mean to know someone? Or maybe I'm reaching again.

Atsuko showed up, and again, she let them get away. The act of being in pursuit of Michiko is something she's clinging to so hard that it's become more important to her than actually catching her.

The tomato engineer was a little bit of a kook but she was kind of fun, too. Also, Michiko always has game.

Damn those tomatoes, I'd like to have that kind of tomatoes xD

That's the face of someone who just lost a war, love war :(
She's pretty interesting overall, shame she'll only appear in this episode
I'm guessing she kissed Michiko because she wants to "know" what kind of woman Hiroshi used to love

Now this left me intrigued over who is Hatchin's mother and what kind of relationship Hiroshi had with her.

Top episodes more stupid and meaningless so far, in conjunction with the 15 and the kidnappings of the circus. I mean, THE WHOLE episode the characters behaved senselessly, their actions had neither feet nor head and instead of asking you about hiroshi and the objective of the protagonists, the only thing that leaves you is a feeling of WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WHY THEY ARE DOING IT for 20 minutes.
I started thinking it was a show for 7/10 to fall into a 5 or 4 inclusive, horrible and meaningless writing 80% of the time.
