"You can't drink bourbon without circular ice!"

This time around, we delve more deeply into the case introduced last episode. The investigation style becomes clear, too; it's very classic detective work, with plenty of shtick. I noticed an interesting trend: as our leads make a deduction, it's dramatized on screen. Whenever Ukai is speaking, the action is plausible and framed like a picture. If Akemi instead, it's surrounded by colorful blocks (and usually ridiculous). Ukai totally humors her though, which leads to fun exchanges.

And that denouement! Great explanation, quirky presentation, and even a little touching...much to my delight.

Katagiri Jin also makes a cameo in this episode, solidifying the idea of our leads as a comedy duo.
