Suspicion breeds suspicion! The notebook that makes it happen!

22nd February 2009 24 mins Season 2 Episode 20

Lunchtime during the typical school day obfuscates the anguish wrought upon Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi due to their leader being away for wartime training as well as Hanae informing Fujiko of Tim and Barrett's current status;in an attempt to forestall their reclamation by Black Phantom, janitorial labor has been decided for the two boys. Fujiko phasing out after an admonition for rigorous vigilance for Tim and Barrett yields to old Obata charging Hanae an important stewardship: a notebook endowed with the psychic power of serendipity. Unfortunately, Obata has two notebooks -- one of which Kyousuke discovered. Hypnotically emulating Minamoto, Kyousuke pollutes the B.A.B.E.L. database and decides to amuse himself by wielding Obata's notebook to compromise the cohesiveness Kaoru and her teammates enjoy. The ensuing series of game theory exhibitions promptly demonstrates that Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi (along with the adult B.A.B.E.L. personnel) will turn on each other like sharks in a blood-crazed feeding frenzy without Kyousuke's external assistance. Kyousuke's downfall is set in motion when Dr. Sakaki detects his emulation of Minamoto and Momotarou falls out of Kyousuke's pocket.

Summer's Day Dream! Tomorrow's Feelings

Fujiko summoning Minamoto to an exhibition of unsolved probability case file #666 (better known as »Do The Children become demons or angels in the future?«) now boasting an almost 50% probability of The Children falling to vice along with an uncertainty score of almost 12% before again presenting to him the high-powered blaster from before obfuscates Kyousuke's poor health and hints that time is not on Kyousuke's side. An extrapolative epilogue set in the future features Kaoru (as an adult) flying back to Minamoto's apartment knowing that she will encounter her teammates Shiho and Aoi who give her a frosty greeting over her P.A.N.D.R.A. allegiance/affiliation. The altercation that ensues is only interrupted when a music box floats onto the scene -- an anniversary gift to the trio from Minamoto symbolizing the good times they once shared. In the present, Kaoru and her teammates being disappointed that Minamoto has chosen to congratulate their promotion to fifth grade with a scaled-down pastry sets the stage for Kyousuke to summon the girls into a dormant amusement park to encourage them to have fun with their psychic powers. While making a meal of reheated food, Kyousuke explains his prologue of basically hating all normals because of his commanding officer's mortal attempt on his life. Incensed by his prejudice, Kaoru flies Kyousuke out of the apartment into a fierce battle that starts out as the latter mocking the former. After turning the tables on Kyousuke by concentrating her powers, Kaoru leads everybody into the important lesson to seize upon today since it is not certain what will happen tomorrow as is demonstrated in several forums near the end of the episode.
