Check out last week’s episode review.
Wow, lots of developments and scheming in this episode.
Let’s get into it:
Does Horikita Get Expelled?

For the moment, it seems like Horikita Suzune is unscratched from expulsion.
After the bet fell through, Kushida well-set to stop harassing Horikita – but did not personize that she would stop attempting to get her expelled. It seems like Kushida and Ryuen’s energy going forward will now be devoted to uncovering Ayanokoji as the mastermind – and getting him expelled.
Suzune Checkmates Kushida

I’ve got to hand it to Horikita. I’m glad that for once, she had some foresight concerning Kushida possibly treacherous their bet.
Horikita speaking to Chabashira-sensei the day the Paper Shuffle was spoken and once making an try-on that she as Class Representative would be the one to submit their wordplay sheet was genius. I know that she can’t really interfere, but this makes Kushida squint bad in Chabashira-sensei’s eyes, as well.
Come to think of it, I don’t plane know what they needed Manabu there as witness for if Kushida still technically double-crossed Horikita. Horikita reading “And Then There Were None” typesetting by Agatha Christie does not contain the answers to getting Kushida to like her.
Ayanokoji Checkmates Kushida
I kind of wish we got to see Ayanokoji’s plan to miscarry Kushida through unchaste allegations in motion.

As the mastermind, Ayanokoji struck a deal with Ryuen to setup Kushida. Ryuen did requite Kushida Class C’s question sheet, but he was pretty shady while doing so. Kushida, stuff an ever-arrogant girl, didn’t seem to notice that Ryuen was unmistakably setting her up.
I’m not sure why Kushida thought she could openly insult Ryuen twice and plane hint that he would moreover make her student expulsion list…and expect no retaliation whatsoever. Although their mart was unenduring and simple, Ryuen must have put two and two together and realized that ‘the mastermind’ used Kei in order to plant the wordplay sheets on Kushida.
A fact I’m scrutinizingly unrepealable Kushida hasn’t plane realized yet.
Ayanokoji seemed shocked that Horikita didn’t need his help and while I’m happy she didn’t – maybe she should have taken his translating well-nigh using people to heart. Kushida is never going to work with, or get withal with Suzune, ever.
Kushida is a loose cannon that needs to be expelled swiftly and promptly, instead of the talk-no-jutsu Suzune is attempting to use to persuade Kushida.
Does Ryuen Know Ayanokoji is the Mastermind?
While Ryuen does not yet know who the mastermind is, he is getting pretty close.

As mentioned above, Ryuen is now diverting his energies into uncovering Class D’s mastermind – Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Although seemingly random, Ryuen pops in on Ayanokoji’s Study Group meeting in a café to discuss strategy for the Paper Shuffle Exams. Using a newly introduced Class C member named Shiina Hiyori to read Yukimura/ Keisei and Ayanokoji’s faces, Ryuen tries to see if either boy responds to his scuttlebutt well-nigh the mastermind email.
Thankfully, Ayanokoji has a largest poker squatter than Horikita.
Hiyori moreover gives Hasebe a new coffee cup to make up for the one Ryuen crushed. I know later on in the episode it seems Ryuen wants to target Kei, but I can’t help wondering if he will try to use Hiyori to get to Hasebe due to her current proximity to Ayanokoji.
Does Kei Like Ayanokoji?
It is rhadamanthine voluminously well-spoken that Karuizawa Kei has a crush on Ayanokoji.
From trying to divert Ayanokoji’s sustentation yonder from Sato Maya to stalking him while he stood in front of the unbelieve Family Mart eating ice surf with his group – it seems Kei is drastic for Ayanokoji’s attention.

Despite stuff in a fake relationship with Kei, Hirata plane pointed out to Ayanokoji that he has never seen Kei jealous surpassing over flipside girl.
Am I the only one who noticed that her squatter scrutinizingly lights up whenever Ayanokoji throws a new scheme her way, or flipside role for her to play with the ultimate goal of undermining Kushida?
Either way, I think I’m going to wrap this one up here.
But, tell me your thoughts.
Do you think Ryuen is getting tropical to uncovering Ayanokoji’s identity?
Was Manabu necessary to ‘witness’ the bet between Kushida and Suzune?
And…
What do you think Kushida will (attempt) to do to Ryuen now without his ‘betrayal’?
