Shocking!! Next week's episode will be the last episode! With the new OP and ED, I seriously thought that Skip Beat! will run longer. Sigh! Let's hope there will be another season soon.There are 2 parts I really like in this episode. One is the part where Sho shows his obvious jealousy towards the idea of Kyoko and Ren acting together on the same set. LOL Sho is really funny!! The second one is the part where Ren shares his problems with Bo (Kyoko in Chicken Mascot costume) and in the end, realizes that he is starting to fall in love with Kyoko! It's ironic that Kyoko is the one who makes him realize that. With only one episode to go, I wonder how the series will end. It'll definitely show how Ren overcome the hurdle and play his original version of Katsuki. Relationship-wise, I don't think Kyoko will be together with Ren yet. If they are planning for a Season 2, there might be a clifhanger ending. If it's a 'Ren and Kyoko live happily ever after' kind of ending, then it might means the Skip Beat! anime is ending for good.SummaryRen is facing the biggest crisis in his acting life. After completely losing the ability to play the role of Katsuki, he's asked by Ogata to take some time off so that he can find his version of Katsuki. Ren is devastated, and he starts to drink and goes into depression. Ogata feels guilty about giving Ren too much stress but he feels that giving Ren a break is the best way to help out Ren.Meanwhile, after knowing about Kyoko's new acting project with Ren, Sho seems to be indifferent about Kyoko, in front of his manager. However, when he's alone, it's a different story. He's constantly thinking about Kyoko and Ren being a lovey-dovey couple and those thoughts make him angry and frustrated.Kyoko has just finished playing Chicken Mascot (Bo) in the variety show and is on her way to return the Chicken Mascot costume. Kyoko can't help but feel worried about Ren. She can tell that Ren is troubled by something bigger than the retakes he had to do. She debates with herself on whether or not she should give him advice, and if he would even listen to her.While she's still debating with herself, she shockingly finds Ren alone, in a depressed state. She decides to put on the Chicken Mascot costume so that Ren will again share his feelings and troubles with Bo. They talk, and Kyoko finds out about Ren's lack of a love life. Apparently, his lack of love life is keeping him from playing a good Katsuki. In the end, Kyoko, without realizing it, makes Ren see that he is starting to fall in love for the first time, and it's with Kyoko!Back at the filming scene, President Takarada pays Ogata and crew a visit. He unsurprisingly finds Ren to be missing. He asks Ogata to give Ren three more days and if Ren is unable to act as Katsuki after three days, Ogata should remove Ren from the role.PicturesDepressed Ren*Alert* This is only Sho's imagination!Kyoko finds Ren alone, in the 'black hole'.Kyoko is shocked about Ren's lack of love life. Ren blushes! So cute! ^-^Why did Ren pull off Bo's crown?Because Bo (Kyoko) was stomping on an imaginary cockroach (Sho) while listening to Ren.Kyoko: 'Tsugura-kun, have you seen someone's expression or gesture, and thought that that person is pretty or cute and stared at her?'The first person Ren thinks of is Kyoko.President Takarada pays Ogata a visit.Takarada: '...slice away those who doesn't make the cut.'
