Lovely episode.

Yumi wears something strange, Sachiko and Rei bond (patented Marimite subtext style), Kashiwagi leaves a trail of classiness everywhere, Yumi gets played by her mother, Touko gets her drill-closeup intro shot that is awesome every time, and Noriko is not gonna take it anymore. All that without pizza.

To be honest, I was beginning to have my doubts about the season, but this really made up for the generally weak episodes so far. It just takes main story focus.

Next week, something terrible

Again a very Marimite-like episode.

I love how the relationship between Yumi and Touko gets deeper. Although every other character is probably like "Give her your rosary already dammit!!!!!" :D
I'm really curious about what's behind Touko's attitude.

And Yumi's mom... OMG she was totally lol :D best chara in this ep imho :D

More plot advacement in this ep., especially between Yumi and Touko. more seriousness, and no pizza! And Yumi's mom. . .surprise comedy relief. definitely lightened the mood. by the tone of next weeks' preview, we'll definitely need it.

Great episode. I especially liked the Touko character development. I'm really liking this whole Yumi/Touko thing. I'm not gonna lie, the Sachiko/Rei scene kinda caught me off guard. You never really get to see these two bond. But it's good to see their friendship glorified in a way only Marimite can. Really good episode overall.

Much development for Touko and her relationship with Yumi. I do have to say I really like Touko, although I quite disliked her in the former seasons. She is showing her nice and sensitive side more and more and isn't trying to ruin everything anymore. =D

Kashiwagi-ouji-sama FTW. He's getting better and better in this season of a yuri series.

Touko is sooo tsundere that she walks miles to give thanks to someone. Great.

The Sachiko - Rei moments made the episode for me.

It was nice to see Rei and Sachiko bonding. We all know they're close friends but I think this is the first time we've been shown how deep their friendship is compared to the usual friendly banter.

Yumi's mom was hilarious.

Can't say I like Noriko too much. Her attitude since S2 has been annoying. I miss Sei. :/

Lots of focus on Toko. I wonder what could be her secret that Kashiwagi was talking about.

Touko storming out again, this time it's her home.

Think Touko and Yumi are already closer than Yumi was with Sachiko when she got her rosary. So not sure why she is holding of.

Looks like Touko made a good friend in Kanako.

Yumi's mom ships Yumi and Kashiwagi, lol.. ;P .. I mean.. I never thought about it.. But Kashiwagi even said that he'd take Yumi as bride recently, lol.. And knowing how Maria-sama anime in general can pair very strange couples.. I think there are too many teases here recently.. At this point it'd be weird.. But their relationship always can change..
Sachiko became much warmer to the people around her.. Now even hugging Rei..
Well, Touko is actually sensitive lately, yeah.. As Yumi said recently..
Yoshino is seriously hanging out more with the girl she met.. Well, glad for her in this, really glad.. ;P

This was an interesting episode. Yumi's mom's reactions were funny. Also, Touko seemed to like being at Yumi's house, but there's still things about her that she won't come forward about.

Sachiko hugging Rei was something new. They've known each other for years, so it's good that they can depend on one another. It's a shame that Rei doesn't want to attend Lillian college, but at least Sachiko will, so she won't be far from Yumi.

Why exactly did Kanako grab Touko's hand like that?

The Touko house visit definitely helped her and Yumi’s ship sail even more, Yumi was really making moves lol. And you also gotta love how she reacted the exact way her mom thought she would about Kashiwagi, but for Touko instead. And of course it looks like Touko has some big secrets to be revealed, now Yumi has to be prepared to “accept” her lol, gotta commit early I guess.

And the christmas party is sure to be great, and I gotta respect Noriko looking out for Touko (at least I think she was) when she wanted Yumi to ask her to the party instead of her. The gears are surely turning for some goodness or feels on the way lol.

Good episode but I have a hunch that it's only a preview for something better next episode. I'm anticipating Nana-chan at the Bara mansion.

Touko right now is showing her vulnerability, which is very far from what she appeared to be in season 2.
