So far, we’re at episode six. Two three-episode arcs have passed, and with each of these arcs, the best episode was the middle one, while for each, the third one offered a nice conclusion. Still, the second arc has been sooo much better than the first arc. While it doesn’t manage to top the fifth episode, the sixth episode was another great one. :)

This episode managed to give me the chills yet again. Even though we know what’s going on, the tension remains. It’s interesting that everyone has suddenly started to call Naru-chan Naru-chan, even though it’s a name made up by Mai. I guess they found that it was such a fitting name, that they kept using it. The strange thing is that Naru-chan doesn’t even seem to mind. ^^;

Ayako also had an interesting role this time. While the other exorcists are very serious when they’re doing their job, when she actually gets to attempt and exorcise an actual ghost, she gets scared. This suggests that she never really got to work against a real ghost, and therefore lacks experience. I’m also wondering what the relationship between Naru-chan and Masako is. I mean, we already knew that Naru-chan had a lot of respect for her, though now we also see that this is vice versa. Did something happen between the two of them that we don’t know yet?

(This was another example as to why I should write about an episode as soon as possible, and not stall it for a few hours. I kindof lost my motivation and original thoughts now)

So far, Red Garden hasn’t been one of the best shows to air during the fall season. Still, I’m really looking forward to its second half, as something’s telling me that this series has yet to display its trump cards. Seeing Lula get an actual personality also increased my opinion of this show for the better. I really liked how this episode ended as well.

I’m also wondering whether Lise’s memories have really disappeared. After all, she did want to meet Hervé. Even though the guy killed her, she does long back to her boyfriend. And who were the people the police were investigating, by the way? We’ve yet to see them, have we?

Lula indeed has a point. What if they’ll end up fighting on their own, or against multiple enemies? And Emilio, who might he be. He’s supposed to be Kate’s sister’s new boyfriend, but does he have any connections to the main story? Claire meanwhile starts relieving her anger to Ewan, while Rose starts toying with the idea of tracking down her father. It’s interesting, it seems that at one point, he just randomly disappeared. I’m wondering, though. How does she make enough money? Does her family get money from the government?

Great aftermath. Really great aftermath, though it wasn’t as good as episode eight. But then again, this episode didn’t really feature any new revelations, it was just about the reaction of the different characters after what happened during the previous episode, specifically focusing on Lotti and Sara.

This episode was basically taking all its time to build up to its climax. Lotti has found out that Sara Cruz is actually Sara Werec, brother of the infamous Ralph Werec who killed her brother, and more recently, Carris. This episode showed yet again how similar the two of them are. Both of them had a big-brother complex, both of them had to say goodbye to him, both of them lost him, and both of them decided to take revenge and ended up in the top-tier of their class.

The best moment of the episode definitely came when Sara said that despite her love for her brother, she’d kill him no matter what. Especially when you compare this to Lotti, who knows the pain of experiencing your brother getting killed. I’m suspecting she never saw that anyone would ever kill her own brother.

The major events of this episode followed Claire as she was trying to solve her money-problems, Lula who showed a different side of her to Kate and Lise, actually coming back to life in her new body. Especially the latter two were very nice to see. You’d wonder whether Lula really was telling the truth when she said that she didn’t involve herself emotionally with her work, though the way she talked to Kate really made me doubt this.

It seems that Herve’s father needed Lisa’s body in a desperate attempt to ensure the survival of his kind. That’s why she was kidnapped in the first episode. Still, I don’t get certain parts of this explanation. For some reason, every woman in that family will suffer from the curse which turns them into these monsters. But does that also count for people who have been married to the family? I would assume so. And weren’t there more groups of girls like Rachel, Kate and the others? Why did they need Lise, out of all people?

Still, I’m wondering what’ll happen to Lise in the future. Has she been properly restored to life, or did something go wrong? Claire, meanwhile, seems to have gotten a bit of character development this episode, in which she desperately needed money in order to remain in her apartment. In the end, she asks her brother, whom she hates. I’m also wondering what’ll happen to him in the future. He seemed quite confident, but if his business fails, he might be the one coming to Claire, begging for money.

Meanwhile, we learn that JC doesn’t eat very much, Rachel meets up with one of her teachers and the two have some coffee, and that Rose’s mother is hospitalized, which would explain why she has to take care of her siblings so much. What happened to her father?
