I have met God, and...she is incredibly nice.

-----------------------

No words can describe what horrible things Yuri's father said to her. I can see how he would become like that given how obsessed he was with his profession, but that's just horribly disturbing. I have a lot more respect for Yuri after this episode. She genuinely seems to want the diary for pure reasons. Momoka saved her life, and now Yuri wants to return the favor by exchanging herself to bring her back. She was also clever enough to foil Masako.

Did Momoka replace the Tower of...David with Tokyo Tower? She's...almost unbelievably powerful. I can see why everyone wants her diary now, it certainly seems to be the purported penguindrum. The price is heavy, and only Momoka seemed to be able to wield it properly. It makes me wonder now what effect Ringo accomplished while trying to match those written fates. Granted, most of them backfired and were fulfilled with who she actually loves now, so maybe there's a little lingering power...if a bit misdirected.

As for Shouma's "heroic" rescue, that's why I love this show. Complete failure, KO'd on a juice bottle. It worked, and maybe Ringo will never learn the truth. She can just assume he saved her, which in a way he did. Given the fact that he was at the same inn, on the same night, with his sufficiently perverted eavesdropping friend, in the adjacent room, and her phone was miraculously answerable...I'd say the two of them are fated to be together.

I'm glad for Himari, if the doctor in fact told Double-H that they were from Himari, and not something else. I'm not sure where to put him. Is he a villain? Is he good (but trying to seduce Himari to get at the Princess)? I can't trust him given the story of the rabbits, but so far, he's been doing good deeds while making Kanba suffer, but Kanba has always been glad to suffer when it is for his sister.
