This episode was way too predictable/obvious. Literally as soon as they Hirano Aya was sueing, it was obvious she had MSBP

So the mother wasn't stupid...just maliciously inclined.

it was very good, but i really think the animation with this one was very bad if we compare with the other episodes

This one is too easy for viewers, who thought mothers are suspects, for being overprotective. Except the evidence was very tricky, we didn't see it until the end of spoilers.

I did have a feeling there may be a drug interaction but none of the juices were labelled grapefruit so I didn't think the mother would put grapefruit juice in them and not even be smart enough to sweeten it more to counteract the bitterness. I did almost suspect the mother was doing something but I didnt put all the pieces together even though I am aware of Munchausen by proxy.

Also why the hate on grapefruit? it's delicious.

Keep in mind that she suffers from an untreatable mental illness. She's not evil per se, just deeply unwell.

It's literally just a kind of attention seeking and addiction to a certain kind of attention. It isn't untreatable and it isn't even an uncontrollable compulsion but something actually premeditated. I wouldn't call it evil but it doesn't remove all responsibility for actions.

Why wouldn't the hospital just deny the mother from giving her son juice, after it was identified as a risk factor and she had a history of poisoning him through supplements? It would have been quickly apparent that he'd start getting better.

She snuck it in and they dont monitor everyone non stop. People sneak in food someone isnt supposed to have into hospitals all the time.

I was under the impression that some people affected by Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (does it work like a spectrum?) can't control themselves at all, and they're less deceptive and slightly more ''impulsive'' in their serial absuse.

But anyway, the kid's mother was certainly the crafty type with the wicked smile and whatnot so you guys are right in this case.

Considering it seems often linked with trauma it's unlikely strictly neurological a condition so it isn't uncontrollable in the literal sense just a reaction to difficult memories. Stronger experiences do influence behavior more but not to point of complete zero control like someone with cerebral palsy or something. Though I will admit I havent heavily read into this specific condition

Another solid episode, story wise. Animation-wise, definitely dropped. Takao should be chipping in for the bike reimbursement, that shouldn’t be all on Kotori. Even though, for whatever unknown reason, they nerfed him in that episode.

The mother was surely on something else, Takao persevered. Not sure why the other doctor didn’t state she didn’t misdiagnosed the kid to the mother. He just left Takao to take the hit.

I’m hoping for the production quality to rebound a bit and finish strong.

Of course I didn't think his mother was the culprit, because who in their right mind would do this to their own children?

Not to mention that the mother, Momoka Suzuhara is voiced by Aya Hirano who also voices Haruhi Suzumiya. It is a downright coincidence as both characters are suspected of having mental disorder, Suzuhara with Munchausen Syndrome and Suzumiya with Antisocial Personality Disorder which can make some fans find the latter grating.

This episode was just okay. It's too over the top and unbelievable the majority of the time. Being under investigation and still having the freedom to do anything in the hospital really through me off. I get it's an anime but do just a little bit of research on the subject. The "mystery" was really easy to figure out this episode. So, what now? Mom drops the lawsuit and the hospital doesn't alert the authorities? Dr. Ameku was mor concerned about her department than the kid who was being poisoned.

If they didn't make the mother the culprit because she is an evil psycho I thought it would've been okay but no I absolutely hate it (even if that whole thing is real)

Knew this woman was sus. Sensitive case with obsessive parenting but sadly this type of case exists irl too where parents do things they believ are good for their children but aren't. Hope the kid will be better off with the father.
