This week's episode starts off with something I don't think anyone was expecting. Shu and Inori return to school, which I was only half-expecting due to the whole Shu-joining-the-Undertakers and getting-arrested-by-GHQ thing. But apparently that doesn't matter to Gai! Anywho, Shu and Inori are on the train on the way to school and Shu is just as nervous about returning to school as anyone in their right mind would be after being arrested by the government. When they finally arrive at school, Shu and Inori are changing their shoes when several boys from their class harass Shu about being arrested by GHQ. As usual, Shu becomes a whibbling mess under the boy's harassment, but a young woman with blond hair appears and scolds the boys for being rude to Shu. The hastily apologize before scurrying away, leaving Shu both embarrassed and confused. When he makes it to his classroom, he hesitates before entering the room and everyone stares at him, though it's hard to tell whether it's in shock or confusion. The young woman from before - whose name we eventually find out is Arisa Kuhouin - enters the room and asks Shu if the GHQ employees treated him well. This surprises Shu, but Arisa continues on, saying that it must have been a nuisance to be interviewed, but that they have to cooperate with the government. This causes his classmates to crowd around him and ask him tons of questions about what it was like in GHQ and what caused him to be arrested in the first place. It appears that someone - perhaps Gai or perhaps Makoto, we're not sure - informed the public that Shu was only arrested because he accidentally picked up a cell phone that was of importance to the rebellion movement. One girl even asks Shu if all of the GHQ male employees are all gay like she heard they were, which just completely throws Shu off. Seeing that things appear to be going well, Arisa excuses herself from the classroom.
