Takashi and Rei run into a crazy rapist. After the end of Shaun of the Dead, Shaun eventually became an oil tycoon and took over Shell. Yeah, the best way to restrain someone is to grab them by the boobs. Summary: Takashi and Rei travel through the night into the city on their newly acquired motorbike. On the way, the two discover a police car that has been crushed by a truck, and Rei scavenges a revolver and other useful items off of the dead cops. The two get back on the road, but they are unaware that someone is stalking them. Eventually Rei and Takashi to stop at a gas station for fuel, but neither has enough money for the pay-first gas pump and this leads to an argument in which Takashi brings up Hisashi. Takashi eventually decides to go into the abandoned store to "borrow" some cash with his baseball bat, and at this moment Rei is grabbed by a man with knife. Takashi runs outside to confront the man, but the man holds a knife to Rei's throat and Rei is unable to get away. The man, crazed from having to kill his own family in the zombie crisis, wants the bike and Rei and starts groping Rei relentlessly. Takashi refuels the bike as per the man's demands, but when the man refuses to let Rei go Takashi charges in with his revolver and shoots the man in the shoulder. Takashi and Rei then make their getaway on the motorbike, leaving the man to the zombies that have gathered due to the commotion. The crazy guy has to be pretty darn slow for Takashi to run in and shoot him at point blank range. While Takashi and Rei are off having their adventure, the other survivors from the school are stuck in a traffic jam on a route protected by the police. Early in the morning after the sun has risen, Takashi and Rei are traveling across a bridge when a military jet flies overhead. The jet flies in close to the bridge to take a picture of the two students and Rei waves at the camera. Jet pilot: Hey, that girl in the back is pretty hot. Let's go down for a closer look. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was the slowest episode so far in the series. The first 1/3 of the episode was recap, which I don't think was necessary given that we are only four episodes in and not that much has happened thus far. The rest of the episode was about Rei and Takashi having their usual arguments and awkward moments and then Takashi coming through to save Rei from the crazy guy, and this wasn't that compelling either when compared to what we saw in the previous episodes. I suppose the crazy guy is an illustration of how some people react to a crisis, and there was plenty of groping to satisfy the fan service lovers, but Rei was just so darn useless (for a girl who has kicked her fair share of zombie ass). Looks like Takashi will always have to save her behind once in a while. Anyways, it was a comparatively slow episode this week, although it still hasn't fallen into the realm of boring or terrible just yet. Instead of seeing Takashi and Rei, I'm more interested to see what's going on with the people on the bus and the power struggle going on inside, and looks like we'll get to see that next week.
