Peach Girl - 18: A Midsummer's Temptation

Title:Peach Girl
Episode:18: A Midsummer's Temptation
Synopsis
Momo is bummed out after catching Kairi kissing the unconscious Misao (she has fainted because she's anemic). She feels her relationship as his "second best" isn't working out. He tries to apologize, but she says he was only doing what she should have expected, since he had admitted that he still loved Misao. Later, Sae turns up and tells Momo "I thought it might me nice to be able to talk with you once in awhile". Kairi calls, and when Momo won't answer, Sae does. She learns of Momo's status as Kairi's "other woman", and wants to know who his first choice is. Momo says she doesn't see any alternative to breaking up. Sae responds with some surprisingly thoughtful advice, based on her experience with Ryo. She argues that since neither Kairi nor Ryo is actively dating another woman, neither she nor Momo have definitely lost. Later, Sae corners Kairi in the alley behind the convenience store and demands to know how he really feels about Momo. She orders him to tell Misao how he truly feels about her, so that he won't be "stuck in a rut", unable to be serious with either woman. "How could I sink so low as to be scolded by Sae-chan?" Kairi replies...
Comments
I think Sae has definitely become my favorite character in Peach Girl, since she's no longer a total bitch and has a vulnerable side to her that you can sympathize with. Nevertheless, she's still mischievious--her most amusing trait. The talk Momo and Kairi had when he told her about being lectured by Sae was genuinely touching.
