In some ways, this episode released some of the tension and feelings built up by previous episodes. It featured a very touching moment, which really highlighted how judgmenets sould be withheld, because we don't always know the whole story. Professionalism aside- which I really think is something the teachers in this drama lack in general- on human level, this story is very humane. The character, like us in life, have illiuminating experiences which make them realise how narrow-minded the may have been, ow petty in some of their concerns and especially fears. It's very thought provoking, heartwrenching an touching at once. I was very impresse with Saeki for doing what she did. She offered a very humbling lesson and allowed everyone to emapthise with her a little more. I say both natsui and shuji lack professional- and they do. But a teacher's role is also to protect and I think shuji tried to do that in the way I can relate to. He tried not to involve Saeki in any way ad take everythning on himself, even risking his relationship with Natsui, because this was the way he understood his responsibilioty as a teacher. I can relate to that and I really like his character. In fact, all of these characters are very relatable, very real.

This is a beautiful drama.
