So yea, I’m gonna need a break there to catch my breath after watching that one.

I vant to be…alone

The speculations wheels are turning, and they should probably stop since the previous set of wheels just came off.  First, Sakura is still evil…not just seductive evil, I’m working toward full blow possessed by Satan evil.

If looks could kill…

The other wheel is that came completely off was my opinion of Shizuku. Is that a genuine attraction she’s expressing for Natsuru there?

That’s cause you’d break him

These two are so screwed

Story update – Sakura really does seem to have some kind of power, and uses it to command Natsuru to keep Shizuku out of her hair.  Now we just need to figure out where her hair is going.  Fine, my metaphors need work.

Yes master

The others track down Natsuru while Sakura works her magic, only to find he has no recollection of the entire evening.  Convenient, that.  So they move to confront Sakura, who deflects them with the same attitude toward hygiene that makes anime so popular.

CUE THE FOG!

Nothing to see here, literally

Sakura’s plan goes into action after the bath, when Natsuru (admittedly a brain washed Natsuru) finally reacts to Shizuku’s flirting

This is about 10 levels ABOVE flirting, to be honest…

To his credit, Natsuru breaks the control with Shizuku’s, um, help, but that leads to an awkward moment…

smoooooooooth

That’s all she needed

It’s good pain

And again, they throw me a bone.

Chance to do wh…OOOOOOH

With an unreliable pawn, Sakura steps up the stakes.

Never actually seen her surprised before

No idea where this is going.  Is Sakura evil or possessed?  Is Shizuku really after Natsuru or using him for her own purpose?  They can show this on broadcast TV in Japan?  Let’s just leave it all lie until next week, when I’m sure we’ll get more questions than answers.
