Two girls, one uh…love medicine.

Summary:

Not wanting her to lose to Louise, Scarron and Jessica provide Siesta with a love medicine to win Saito’s affection. Siesta is conflicted about using this, but she eventually decides that she would like to obtain a bit of the happiness that she wishes for. Back at the academy, Louise returns to her room after giving her usual abuse to Saito. Siesta convinces Louise to let her be alone with Saito for awhile, but she still cannot find the chance to use the medicine while spending time with him. Scarron and Jessica follow Siesta to the academy to further help her, but when Siesta accidentally drops the medicine out of the window later, Montmorency is quickly affected by it.

Montmorency spreads the medicine’s affect to Louise by sharing a kiss with her, and several of the other girls are affected in the same way afterwards. When Tiffania suspects what is going on, she quickly uses magic to make the girls forget what they have been doing. When Siesta explains and apologizes, the students quickly get back to their usual business. Later that night, Tabitha meets Sheffield after receiving an alarming letter. Sheffield suggests that there may be a way to restore Tabitha’s mother to normal, giving Tabitha no choice but to investigate.

Preview: Louise searches for her true self..or something.

Impression:

Totali: I can’t get excited about Zero anymore, lol.
Aroduc: That’s because you’re putting effort into it.
Totali: Yea, you’re probably right.

Plot? Huh? Where! As pointless as this episode was, it was definitely one of the more entertaining ones so far. It was just so out there that I probably wasn’t ready for it. I loved Siesta’s hilarious fantasies with the “ef” faces, and just the tone of her voice really brought out Yui Horie’s talent. I do wonder why she is always in Louise’s room though. Some people might like yuri, and some people might hate it, but I thought the love medicine set up was great either way. I think one of my favorite episodes from the first season was with the love potion, even though that one focused a lot more on Louise. It seems like they might just be going for a lot more fanservice this season, especially with the ridiculous censoring showing up a lot more now. I guess character development just doesn’t cut it these days. Next week’s episode looks to be getting “back on track”. Hopefully I won’t have to hate on it, since there’s the suggestion that Louise and Saito will be getting closer again.
