👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

The Sohma household gets a jolt of chaotic energy as a new family member crashes onto the scene. Episode 4 shifts gears into high-octane comedy territory with the introduction of Kagura Sohma, whose explosive personality and volatile emotional swings create some of the show's most physically comedic moments yet. Kyo bears the brunt of the storm, and their dynamic delivers a tonal whiplash between slapstick destruction and genuinely tender vulnerability. Beneath the laughs, the episode quietly expands the emotional map of the Sohma family, hinting at how love manifests in complicated, sometimes destructive ways among people bound by a shared burden. Tohru continues to serve as the grounding presence, observing and absorbing the complexities around her. Expect a lighter, louder episode that still plants seeds for heavier themes ahead.
