Two words: forced drama.
Sorry, this episode just didn't do it for me. I just didn't think there was sufficient buildup for an episode like this, and the episode itself was poorly structured. I do have sympathy for Nanaka's plight, but it did nothing to convince me that she is the right girl for Sana. At this point, I think plunging into a roller-coaster relationship would only make things worse; maybe what she needs is a nice friend like Asami to help her break out of her shell?
Power rankings:
1. Asami - Still at the top until further notice. Sana - if you miss the younger Nanaka, the older version is staring at you in the face!
2. Hinako - The show would be much better if she was the lead girl.
3. Aoi - Maybe she can help curb Sana's ecchi habits...
4. Yuzuki - While her scene broke the flow the episode, she turns out to be a genuinely nice person. Not quite at Mizuho's level, but a nice consolation prize.
5. Shuri - Maybe she was just going through a "phase"? She's back to normal, it seems.
6. Shuusuke - The potential was there, but looks like Sana was rejected - maybe he just couldn't shake his siscon instincts.
7. Nanaka - At this point, rooting for a Kaede-like meltdown. Boxcutter FTW!
