SPOILERS AHEAD - BEWARE!

Episode 2 starts with unnecessary fan-service again.
Naru is as depressed as in episode 22-24 and close to giving up on Keitarou, as another "promised girl" has entered the stage.
Kanako is about to leave when she finds out that for Keitarou she is 'just his sister'; yet she can't let him go and tries to make him remember his promise.
This strange "competition" is a treat to watch, as both girls become less secure about their goals and more aware that they want Keitarou to be happy, and be that by leaving him to their opponent in the end.
The training match between Keitarou and Motoko shows two things: Keitarou really has improved in many aspects, and Motoko now fully accepts him (and is even going to apply for Toudai the next year!).
When Keitarou finally decides to act, things develop as they always do in Love Hina: Too many people with different levels of information interact and misunderstand what's up. So this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, providing a great cliffhanger to the final show.
