This time, the case involved a girl and her father who were old friends of Hajime and Tsugumi. But that’s not the thing this episode centers about. This episode really is about the growing conflict between Hajime, who wants to stop all the revenges, and Tsugumi, who believes that the revenges are good. It’s really, really tough to choose a side on this conflict. Therefore I just decided to support both sides.
Anyway, in the ending, Hajime finally manages to talk the victim out of revenge, with the horrible results following. This really tries to let the viewer believe that the revenge was actually good and it also adds up to the wonderful drama going on. I really liked this episode. It couldn’t have been executed in a better way. Not to mention that the little doses of humour added worked perfectly this time around.
