Dang, where do I begin? There was just sooo much randomness, as well as plot development in this ep! OK, first the thing that made my heart leap into my throat- THE HAND GRAB! Right after Domyoji kicks Rui out and storms off, Tsukishi is about to run after him to explain Rur grabs her hadn and tells her it's going to be ok. I think it's cuz I'm a total Shun fangirl, but yeah that was just Smitten

Domyoji must have spent A LOT of time in the savannah in Africa, because he's starting to dress like an animal. That jacket was hilarious, it's Tiger/zebra! He looked so hurt when she stormed off to "Libro" Makino was so cute as she tried to keep Rui from seeing the article, it was funny to watch little Makino push, pull and force the towering Rui around and literally drag him to go get tea.

OK, the bathroom thing was so funny, yet so AWFUL! Don't bathrooms have locks? But I loved how Rui was so chill about it. He was just kinda like..."Oh, you should really lock the door" *walks away* and just leaves Makino sitting there MORTIFIED. I though tit was cute how as her scream echoed through the mall, Domyoji reacted immediately when he heard it. He was all bloodhound like trying to find where it was coming from, I guess wearing all that fur does that to you (and being crazy in love)... Man, I wish i understood japanese better! I wanted to know what Rui was saying to mainko as she was crying. I know in the manga he's like "What's the big deal? Everybody poops" (well, I paraphrased that a little) adn then he calls her funny/interesting.

Gah and the Dom/Makino arguement in the mall. I think it starts out with Dom accusing Rui of using Makino just to forget Shizuka and then Makino interrupts, and then at one point Dom talkd about her clothes (like he has any right!)...then it end with her dragging Rui off again. I love Rui's face as he gets pulled around, it's a little surprised, but complacent. ^_^

Yay for more screentime for f2 and yuki! And of course the fabulous Okami-san. I LOVE her crush on Akria and how he always ends up being the one left to help in the shop while Makino and Yuki run around with the rest of F4. Can someone PLEASE translate her story about... SANTA?! I love that lady she totally cracks me up. They started teh Yuki/Sojiro plot!!! I'm so excited! I don't know what all they'll do with it in two episodes, but yes! Soujiro gets a billion browine points for this epeisode adn being so nice! I love Makino's punch!

Is it just me, or are japanese apple really big? You could give someone a concussion with one of those things if you threw it hard enough. Does anyone else find it really funny that F2 roll in a fancy mini van? I was like oh yeah, that's big pimpin' right there. rofl

Then the fight! I guess they had to do something else since there was no way to do a b-ball game (and no kazuya to round out team rui/makino). But did anyone else notice that the when the fight started. Dom hit Rui, then Rui hit Dom, then Akira hold Dom back and Jiro holds Rui back, then Dom hits Akria, Akira hits Dom, Jiro tries to hold akira back, Akira hits Jiro who accidently flies into Rui, and then RUI HITS JIRO! Jiro was the only one who didn't hit ANYONE, but Rui punches him in the face ... boys Shake Head

THEN THEY ALL END UP FIGHTING IN FRONT OF A BIG APPLE...which was symbolism, but just still funny since the camera panned out making the apple seem very, very important. Does it hint at new york maybe? Are apples very christmas-y in japan? Because, I dont' think i've ever had a christmas apple... What did Rui say to start, and then at the end of the fight?

Then on the stairs- SHE PUSHED RUI AWAY! I'm a huge Dom/Makino fan, but the Shun fangirl in me was screaming "Are you NUTS woman?!" He looked really good on the stairs too, despite the bruises, cuts and the fur. I liked his hat. But I digress...

You could so tell by the way Makino was searching for that phone when she heard it that she really cares about Domyoji and of course he orders her to come to the heliport on Domyoji tower where he waits with a telescope and another totally domyoji ensemble- a shiny silver space jacket, dress shirt and yes we have the reappearence of the infamous BUTT BLING! He must love those pants hehe

But now Makino's dad lost his job, and did my ears decieve me or did I hear Domyoji propose to makino in the preview of ep 8?!!!
