Read or Die - TV - 9: Heart of Darkness

Title:	Read or Die - TV
Episode:	9: Heart of Darkness
Synopsis
Nenene is at a wedding with some old school friends, with whom she agrees to visit a nearby hotspring. It is located near a recently discovered ancient burial mound which has become a popular tourist attraction. Meanwhile, Drake (from the OVAs) and Alice Alice Arquette ("Triple A"), a former British Museum Archaeologist, hike to the same mound. The sisters have been summoned by Mr. Kim, and they meet him in a cafe--near the burial mound, of course--to be told that their job is to track down Triple A, who is supposed to be carrying a precious book. Unknown to them, Junior is there too (why not?), and someone else walks in as well...
Comments
In case you haven't guessed, I found this episode to be highly confusing. Drake shows up for the first time in this series, and in another tie-in to the OVAs, Junior seems to have the same powers as Ms. Deep had (I wonder if she'll turn up...). It won't kill me, but it's kind of weird how this series bounces back and forth between bizarre, even grim episodes and silly, yet touching ones.
