Yeah, if Yui only had the guitar one night and was mostly taking pictures of it, she seems to be a pretty fast learner. Most people who never played an instrument in their life don't make that much progress in a single night.

While going into this episode, my preference was Mio > Mugi > Yui > Ritsu, leaving it was definitely Yui > Mio > Mugi > Ritsu.

Yui is just so damn cute, and falling in love with a Gibson Les Paul at first sight is totally awesome. The guitar by the way, definitely said Fender the first time she saw it. I thought I was hallucinating for a second. Returning the money also showed how much she seems to have grown since the beginning of the first episode. Having a younger sister that is taller than she is and who looks like Suzume from Munto is a plus too.

I liked all the rich girl scenes and comments (espeically from Yui) about Mugi, which climaxed when she used her huge eyebrows to get a 200,000 yen discount. We knew there was a reason for those.

But in the end, Mio's shyness is too overpowering. It's just too much of a contrast from her outspoken bursts at Ritsu in the first episode, and that she's the vocalist in the music video style ED.

Ritsu is last only because she really didn't have too much to do until the end of the episode, where she completely redeemed herself. I have done that exact thing with the ripping the protective plastic off where somebody left in on for months...on cell phones anyway.
