It's not a spoiler to say this when the title itself gives it all away! Yes, Chii is kidnapped. This episode picks up where the blurring lines between Persocoms and humans left off. Chii is acting more and more human, and Hideki is unable to resist her charms. However, she is kidnapped, and the kidnapper seems to be someone very aware that she's no ordinary Persocom. Yuzuki is also acting unexpectedly. To what extent can Persocoms truly be considered machines rather than humans?
