Asatte no Houkou manages to surprise me so often, I love that aspect of the show. Just when I was cursing the scriptwriters for keeping us in the dark about Karada's fate and there she was, right before the commercial break. And I so did not expect the teacher visited by Tetsu and Kotomi to be the one Karada was staying with. Of course, it was a very convenient coincidence but a coincidence was inevitable - it's not as if they could have ever found Karada with that photo of her as a kid. I expected some boring episode about Tetsu and got a lot more.
Of course, Shouko rocked once again, if Hiro does not snap out of his "hibernation" and show some development, I am actually going to be annoyed if she ends up with him. But Hiro certainly needs someone to make him actually do something from time to time, he needs to try everything to get that relationship back on track, provided Shouko gets back to normal, of course.
