Jesus159159159 had some extra homework this week, so I (Kabitzin) am taking over on this post.  He left a bunch of crazy captions and notes in his draft, and so I am going to attempt to Frankenstein them in with my summary and screencaps.  Consider it a Halloween Easter Egg hunt to see if you can pick out his words from mine.

Summary:

Where’d we leave off last time? Oh right, Hei was showing August 7 the magic in his pants.

Before Hei can give August 7 some shock therapy, however, the trap in the Hei hay pops up and zaps him with some Dr. Shroeder magic.  The strange field nullifies Hei’s powers, but Suou’s amulet absorbs some of the energy to put her in rational Contractor mode.  Suddenly, Mao’s voice orders Suou to run, and so she tackles Hei into the freezing water to escape (ummm…).

Hei wakes up the next day, but gets pissed off that Nika’s blowing up Suou’s phone. In a jealous rage, Hei manhandles Suou and then slaps her around for cheating on him. He then breaks her phone for not having a QWERTY keyboard. Shoulda gotten a DARKER than Blackberry *RIMshot*.

Tanya tricked Nika into calling Suou so the Russian forces could track Suou, but Hei quickly changes into an inconspicuous purple outfit and takes off. Using the Ikebukuro hint that Shion left in some whale origami, the two make their way to the train station, only to find a whole bunch of bad guys waiting for them. Since all the experienced Contractors are off duty, the Russians have no choice but to send in Tanuki Tanya. Suou of course counters with Pecha, who has been possessed by Mao. Although the name no longer makes sense, keeping regular backups always does.

Shizume Genma and Hazuki Mina also show up to play, and it doesn’t help that Hei keeps trying to zap but ends up sharting his pants instead. After seeing tons of Russians getting killed, Nika getting eaten by bugs, and Hei looking constipated, Suou has no choice but to use her Amulet powers to bust out a gigantic anti-material sniper rifle and use it for CQC. Fortunately, July is there to help her aimbot. Before Suou can tearfully snipe Tanuki Tanya, Hei shows up to stop her, because nothing ruins a long journey like a moody teenage girl. Elsewhere, some real identical twins note that Suou’s gotten the party started.

In Hachijou, Misaki gets a call from Kanami and they chat about the disappearance of BK-201′s staaaaaaaaaaaaaar (201′s staa-aaaa-aaa-aaa-aaaar). I guess she got herself exiled, and that’s when someone from the mysterious Section 35 shows up to offer her a chance to find BK-201 in exchange for helping them wipe out the remains of the Syndicate.

Reaction:

This episode rocked, but Suou’s rifle sucked.  I bet just like Hei’s real stolen power that Suou’s power is not to pull out an impractical bolt-action sniper rifle, but some more general power.  In a similar manner, I’m sure that Hei didn’t mean he wanted to kill Yin when he said he was out to off “that woman” but rather someone else.  DtB likes to use this kind of misdirection, but I’m glad to hear Mao’s deep sexy voice again (even if he got that poor kitty body killed, surely there are similar spares).

I was a bit surprised that July helped Suou, considering that Hei killed April, but perhaps April’s stint as Bella got Suou some brownie points.  Whatever, once the starting doll returns, you know July is going back to bench duty.  I’m ready for the team to get out of Russia, because there are way too many factions right now to keep track of.
