Why can't our heroine rely on any one else? Why do the other girls not talk to her at all. One's too shy and the other just keeps saying "die". After a partial trip to town, our heroine realizes that change needs to happen for herself and her new "friends?" A "famous writer" complains that she has thrown away his star draft, but what's really going on? What on earth is the Revenge Meal? Find out more next time.

What? Ohana has been taken captive by the writer? Why? Because he's a failure and can't have her telling the others that he's writing a "sexy novel" about the girls of the resort to make money. The other employees search for and eventually find them. The writer runs away to commit suicide and Wait! The shy one can swim like a kappa and saves him. Now he'll work off his debt at the resort. What will happen next?

Ohana starts school!! Will she get placed into the same class as the other two girls? Nope, just Minko (the one who hates her). But Minko has a crush and someone has a crush on her. Oh unrequited love! Ohana also meets the next-in-line for the inn's main competetor and boy is she perfect! Nakochi asks Ohana to come with her to the competing inn to deliver something and we learn of a matsuri and how much Nakochi longs for friendship. A bath and a sour conversation spoil Minko's and Ohana's relationship even more as it becomes apparent that Minko has got a thing for Tohru. But wait! Tohru is dating Ms. Perfect from the other inn! What will happen next?!?!

Tohru is leaving! Oh crap! Minko's dream to be a chef was allowed by Tohru, who vouched for her. Her parents don't agree, which is why she lives at the inn. A lantern festival to lead the gods home is happening soon. But what? That other girl was just on the bike to try riding one? Tohru returns during the time that Ohana is running around trying to find him. She finally sends a response back to Ko, thanking him. Finally, there is a fight over what Ohana's nickname should be. More next week.

It's payday!!! Isn't it a great thing (side note- Ohana recieves roughly $200). A plan to revitalize the inn? Skanky dresses? The heck kind of plan is this? Maybe the Manager's son is in love with the consultant? The plan fails miserably!! What should they do? The inn is going downhill. Beanman shows Ohana a collection of old kimono stored in an attic. The manager used to design kimono?!?! Hopefully, wearing them will help the inn's business pick up.

Is Tomoe (the head waitress) getting forced into marriage by her mother?!? She's the only girl from her graduating class not married yet. Oh no, it's them again. Who's them. Survival gamers (paintballers). They are trouble. Tomoe is going to harrass them until she gets fired so she can justify leaving to get married. It backfires, horribly. Wake up by pan beating, yes Ma'am. Spying on us? Spray you with hose. Eat these rice balls, because they are healthy and this cute girl made them. Yes Ma'am! Yes Ma'am! She is the Commander! They look forward to next year and new tactics. Tomoe is also Big Sis to Ohana. Tells her mom she is happy and the arranged marriage meeting is off.
