Tachibana would rather they all work together on something that truly matters, namely saving him.

It's not doing anything amazing, but it's got a good, varied set of things it's all executing solidly enough.

First off, I love how you're able to take what should be a negative (okay episode is just okay) and try and make it a positive (okay episode is super okay). Like, I expected it, but I still enjoyed you saying it. How meta!

But, yeah, it's a real right-down-the-middle episode. I sort-of appreciate the smaller scope, the way the story grows pretty organically out of the characters, the way it all supports the themes of the series so far. It's like, it's a Blade monster-of-the-week story, and that does some pretty specific things.
