Okay, now that I understand what's happening (because they didn't throw fifty things at us at once), I can be happy with the plot. Tsubomi is just a psycho, as well, as we see demonstrated in this episode - not that we didn't have any idea beforehand. I had an issue two episodes prior with Ninomae existing still, but we get clarification on that here, so I'm a lot less pressed about that now. I still don't fully accept what's happening plot-wise because of its slight convoluted nature, but I'm growing to accept it slowly but surely. This episode was a blend of plot and comedy, which was a good way to go about it, and I hope they can improve on or at least continue with what they're doing now.
