Kasumi's dad? I barely got a good look at him. I'll have to keep a closer eye on him in the next part. Thanks for the tip!

This is also another episode that's having some fun with its title, as in Japanese it's "

Yeah, the banter. I... I think it may be
too
much fun, sometimes?
Like (and I know it's unfair to tag a show for the guest writer's work), the plot on this story is pretty thin. For a mystery story, it's super lazy about maintaining a sense of peril, and the ostensible victim elicits almost no sympathy.
But the show just springs to life when it's everyone hanging out on the DenLiner, and that's a problem I'm seeing more and more of on this show? With a growing cast of unique personalities, just checking in with them can eat up time. When you're also having a blast writing series-defining comedic bits for them, it doesn't leave you a lot of canvas to build out a solid mystery or monster plot.
I mean, what's here is still good enough, and it's miles better than some previous A Monster Shows Up Out Of Nowhere For No Discernable Reason To Do Murders plots, but I feel like I can already see the writer(s) choosing to spend more time on the fun hangout stuff, and less on the structural elements for a story.
I'm probably not explaining this great (it's early, and some impatient customer sent a 4am email that pissed me off when I woke up and saw it), but it feels like the show is prioritizing the instantly enjoyable hangout stuff over the hard work of creating compelling two-episode stories for that comedy to exist in.
