Ended off the last post saying this could be the best episode to date, actually was set up well for that but just missed, kind of a sappy ending prevented it from being #1 but still another fine episode.
Chie is still working at the restaurant after the other kitchen staff walked out, she does give it her best but she's not cut out to do that kind of work efficiently. Also she hurts her hand and is unable to work in the kitchen but luckily for Eisuke during a busy period one of his mother's old workers was visiting and helped him out, actually the restaurant ran more smoothly than ever with him around.
The sappy ending was with Eisuke getting locked in a freezer for a while with his rival restaurant owner Aso who wanted Eisuke to work for him but that didn't work out, as a matter of fact the staff who walked out on him may also be coming back to work for him, least that's the impression at the end of the drama. But then again their band or at least two of the members have an opportunity to get back in the music business, it starts off with them refusing a producer's offer but nothing definite has been resolved yet.
And poor Chie, what's going to become of her? She still can't get Eisuke to have feelings for her besides being a good friend, she also confided to Eisuke's girlfriend that she's fallen for him, what a mess everything is becoming for her. It's actually even more of a mess as Taku has come ho so close to confessing his love for her, Eisuke can see his love for her but Chie hasn't quite grasped his feelings fully yet, still by episodes end her love for Eisuke has grown even deeper.
Tried to keep these brief today and think they were, after the series is done may do a real long review to add in any missed things but usually what I miss is in the screenshots for each episode. After this there's 3 more shows to go and still a lot to be resolved, much has happened but yet everyone is almost in the same boat they were many episodes ago, will the band get back together? Will the restaurant ever become successful? Will Eisuke ever feel the same way for Chie as she feels for him? Many things still need to be resolved and will be back soon with the answers to all the questions right after I watch the last 3 episodes which should be by this time next week.
