The cast in this show should hang out together more, outside of their environment. This episode gave them the chance for everyone to get to know each other.

I kinda like the overall characer chemistry. Seiji is also surprisingly fun to watch in his role. Hope he gets more screen time in the future. The case from this episode was also tense.

Well the first part had it's moments but the second part was certainly the best.
I guess wrecking a police car doesn't earn you a good reputation within the police force, that again racing in a forest usually isn't the best idea.

A group meeting date at the restaurant... but the police's life is too busy, though in that 2nd part they proved they can be really dumb, especially when it comes to driving

Kawai and Fuji going for a mixer? Well that's certainly...not new, espeically for civil servants like the police. But where is gets strange...is when your detective colleagues (Seiji and Takeshi) also show up for one in an adjacent room, which is quite awkward.

Seiji and Fuji have quite the tumultuous relationship and preferences aside, this whole situation is such an oddity that the females' side of inner monologue and outer dialogue feels funny to watch. Sadly, when the calls come in they'd have to respond quick, and these incidents never seem to end.

The distinguished Houjou Squad is called back once again...and they're called to address serious issues about taking care of police property like police cars when conducting arrests that could form into accidents. The only problem: using their superintendents' cars to be called to a spooky village of a madman killer, with Fuji being calm and collected while Seiji acts rash as intended.

Good thing that the report was a false alarm...but wrecking your boss's car is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Are they fired for good...?

The blinds date was really funny to see that both groups were lying about their jobs. I wish we could have seen them do karaoke together at one point and just be a complete mess and just a rap battle.😅

The second part was so funny to see how different Fuji and Seiji driving is. One is cool, clam, and collected but the other one is going off his rocker😂😂. (Dude wreaked the bosses car 🚗 👊)

Are the actually fired??? I wonder…..🤨🤨

Such a pity they can't even have time to partake in some meet-ups and all even when being on off duty, but yeah such is the job. Though got to know that even police had its tough when it comes to rash driving.

Best way to end the awkward mixer xD As a police officer you're married with your work.

And lmao, what a hellish ride that ended in all of them getting fired? I wonder if the next episode will pick up subsequentle. The situation might get resolved in a less severe manner ala "You're all fired..or so I would like to say" Or it was merely a gag/ fake out cliffhanger ending.

And that is why "this is the work of fiction" is necessary despite being based on true story. No police organization is gonna admit that reckless driving behavior LOL

But the mixer scene is gold when they unintentionally insulting each other by lying to make a good impression.

Fuji and Minamoto seem to fit each other, but marrying a person with the same career is like a no-no, especially in the same office. Which is good because I want Minamoto and Takeshi to be single buddy cop. Since Minamoto is based on real person, that person should be in high position by now, like Captain.

Fuji certainly has some good taste in clothes when she and Kawai went out to a mixer. Her dress and the jumper/skirt she chose for Kawai looked really nice. =)

However, having your own work colleagues having their own mixer party in the booth next to theirs would easily be the definition of awkward. Not just that, but Kawai and Fuji weren't willing to tell the two men in their mixer as to what they truly do at work. However, an urgent call got all four of them out of there which probably was a mixed blessing, I guess. XD

The second half of the episode was entertaining, though. You've got to feel for the police cars that go through the wringer every day and Machiyama police station has a reputation of being rough on their cars. This was a nice showcase of the different driving style between Fuji and Seiji.

Fuji's driving style was calm and focused. Seiji, on the other hand, seems like he drove his car like he stolen it going by how fast he was going cross-country, damaging the car with scratches, broken headlights and being caked in mud. His expression while driving was funny, though. =3

I don't think these guys will be fired, considering the lieutenant must be feeling stressed and fed up with it all. The next episode will show whether he actually meant what he said or not.

Kawai and Fuji attend a mixer, but unfortunately they went to the same spot as Seiji and Takeshi mixer with a booth right next to them causing an awkward atmosphere. However, their night was cut short as they were called in for an emergency. This was one of those your job is you life situations. As for the second part is was obvious that everyone in criminal affairs need to retake their driving license test if they are causing accidents due to their own negligence on the road. Seji's recklessness didn't make things better after he trashed the captain's car. I don't think they got fired, but I wouldn't be surprised if Seiji gets demoted to patrol officer like Fuji or gets suspended with out pay.

This was a good one, you gotta love the contrast during the mixer where the girls were downplaying their jobs while the guys exaggerate lol, sucks they had to leave early tho. The highlight of the episode for me tho was Kawai freaking out over Minamoto‘s reckless driving lol, man needed to be there first and that’s all that mattered. I’m wondering if they were actually fired at the end or not, guess we’ll find out next week!

Knowing that the author of this series was a cop for many years, I get the feeling when watching this show, that she's sometimes taken events that have happened in her personal life or have heard of and dramatized it greatly here, for manga and anime purposes.

It makes watching this show that much better. The "you're fired" part, I took it as a gag ending...

Duty should be avoided as far as possible: "Don't call us! Don't call us!" when a radio broadcast comes in.
When a duty fell upon you, you have to do your best: "I will get to the scene first, no matter what happens!"
That's duty.

Great episode! Kawai and go to a mixer... but Minamoto and Yamada are the next room across talking to nurses! Minamoto and Yamada over talk their duties whilst Kawai and Seiko undertalk what they do...
However! At the same time they all get an emergency call so have to leave the mixer!
The part where the criminal affairs division get told off for scratching up their cars too much and causing traffic accidents was very funny and Minamoto's face when he scratched up a brand new car and realised that there wasn't, in fact, a man with an edged weapon was amazing lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Ay mixer for them? Sounds like a fun. But, suddenly, there's them too xd. Man, why they should've met right there side by side like that? That must be awkward af when you can even hearing each boomerang that hit each other. However, the girls seems had the most tough mental by not letting the awkward moment put them down. Unfortunately, the job call suddenly arrived at their phones, and its sure ended their good moment. What an unfortunate night. Feelsbadman xd

Slight note about nurse, or any medical staff under the white uniform generally, being a type of job for a woman that must be get by the policeman, or even soldier, was actually true to the right spot, in my country. Can't help but laugh when the afro dude spill that thing out.

The second part actually a big comedy show, look at that end, pompadour leader tried to explain, but they've been fired xd. Never expect them get scolded after being praised by the surrounding. But ofc Fuji know whats goin on and its sure also tickled me. Not to mention the next scene mostly a police race between two rough person. But the afro dude proved to be way worst than ever. Susume! Erwin Smith must be proud of you...

This episode made me insane. The 2 segments here was just so wild to watch and now I really want more.

The mixer is hella botched, our quartet just can't get it together when they're so bothered of what the other is saying. But hey when duty comes to you, you better respond, and it's a good ending for the ones who were "left behind", they got each other for the karaoke, no biggie.

And then the second part...first of all Maki looks cool in a formal attire, the hoodie is hiding her true beauty. Second, when Kawai and Yamada were looking at each other from their respective cars, all I can think of is the driving meme, that made me laugh hard.

What's also hard is to think that they're fired in the end, well good job Fuji and Minamoto, let's see where y'all end up in next week.

The first half had a mixer with all four of our police officers. Ended up being next to each other. The other half had misinformation about a criminal roaming, as usual. LOL

Whenever Fuji murmurs aggressive words under her breath. Terrifyingly hilarious.

Well, the four of them did a public service introducing the nurses to the clerks.

So it's mundane and simple scratches and property damage like rear-ending and scraping that the detectives keep committing not heavy damage from high-speed chases. That's said, Minamoto goes full road rage for what turns out to be a mistake.
