Another crazy-intense episode and this time they break out the heavy hitting dialogue, too! This is definitely an "all grown up" series for Miura Haruma (although I suppose he's been playing some really mature roles even since he was a kid in "14 Sai no Haha").
Summary:
Show text
After reading her worrisome journal posts, Kashiwagi runs to Saeki and meets her at a cafe. Presumably, this is the cafe where they first met? It's unclear how he knew where to find her. Uemura calls Kashiwagi while he's there and Kashiwagi hangs up on her. Kashiwagi gives Sonoda's cell phone to Saeki and tells her the entries made him want to "see the real her". She asks if they can just go back to being student and teacher, but Kashiwagi says he can't pretend nothing happened.
Kashiwagi missed dozens of Uemura's calls while he was meeting with Saeki and sending her home. They meet in front of a park and Uemura freaks out on him a bit. She asks if he's in love with Saeki.
The Nurse, Aya, visits a grave site and meets with Saeki's father. Aya was apparently in the same accident as Saeki and her sister. She also has a mini-flashback to her phone call to the school--it turns out she didn't tell them about the affair.
At school, Uemura is starting to lose it, while Saeki claims she's trying to forget the entire incident for Kashiwagi's sake.
Later, Uemura and her roommate are opening wedding RSVPs when Uemura begins to cry. She tells her roommate about Kashiwagi's affair and admits she doesn't feel like herself anymore. She skips school the next day.
Aya stops Kashiwagi for a chat after school and tells him it's because he's a teacher that she can't forgive him. Kashiwagi takes it to heart and visit's his family's shop afterwards. He apologizes in advance to them that things are going to be difficult, but he will work them out.
Kashiwagi then tells Uemura he plans to tell the school he's slept with a student (although to protect Saeki he plans to keep her identity a secret). Uemura asks him to forget about it, saying that she can forgive and forget, but only if no one else knows what happened. She freaks out again, asking "What's wrong with living as a scumbag teacher who sacrificed his student for his own happiness?!" Kashiwagi has too many principles and Uemura feels burdened by them.
Nurse Aya messages Saeki that she's coming to the school to tell them what happened. She can't let it go. Saeki runs to stop her, abandoning her cell phone on her desk in the classroom. A classmate picks up the phone and finds the blackmail photo of Kashiwagi sleeping. Soon, the entire class knows.
Kashiwagi walks into the classroom and they confront him. Saeki tries to pass the photo off as something else, but no one buys it. Kashiwagi admits it and apologizes to the class. A lot of powerful accusations are tossed around and one kid attacks him. The teachers get involve, send Uemura home and isolate Saeki in the nurse's office.
As Uemura is on her way home, she gets nauseous and then very worried--perhaps she's pregnant?
Saeki goes to leave with Sonoda but stops when she sees Kashiwagi bowing down to all the other teachers...
Scenes of Note:
There were a ton of noteworthy scenes in this episode, but the best might be the class confronting him. There are a number of great Uemura-freak-out bits, too.
