Well, this episode certainly didn’t do much to advance the plot, if at all. We had a few good laughs here and there but that was really about it. I also enjoyed the scenes we had with Wilhelmina and Chigusa. It seems that my hopes were a little too high though since I was actually expecting the dish to turn out half decent…but that didn’t happen.

It’s a little surprising to see that Yuji still hadn’t caught on to what’s been bugging Shana and Yoshida even after Ike tried to hint the problem to him. I wouldn’t really have bought this density if I didn’t consider the fact that Ike had to have Yuji talk to him before he realized that he had feelings for Yoshida. I guess people are just more shrewd about things that concerns others over those that concerns themselves.

From the preview, it seems like the next episode should spell the end of this jealousy business. While things have been going rather slow this season in comparison to the first one, we are after all still only five episodes in, so I can tolerate this. I’ve watched quite a few shows that did nothing of interest until the episode count rolled into the double digits so…meh, whatever.
