SO many things happening in this ep, both good and bad. Personal drama here and a serious plot amping up alongside. Shout-out to Cheng-Shin for being a bro to Hachi and a good sport overall 😌✌ The development of Edel’s character is icing on the cake! Great midpoint ep.

Episode Context

Sitting just past the midpoint of the 26-episode run, 'In Her Case' follows 'Turning Point,' which catalyzed Hachimaki and Tanabe's romantic trajectory, and now deepens that thread while broadening the emotional scope to include Edel's history. This episode serves as a reflective pause before 'Ignition,' where the focus shifts back to Hachimaki and his mounting personal struggles. It's a pivotal character-building chapter that enriches the ensemble ahead of the more intense second-half arcs.
