episode 8 spoilers

[tronella]

1. lol in your face, Nishizaki, I'm glad everything went wrong for you! :p
2. Did Takashina FINALLY realise that Nishizaki doesn't care about him at all?
3. Kurosaki is really my favourite character, I think. He's hilarious.
4. I was going to say "no rice this week?" but then I remembered Tokai did complain to Nishizaki about Teika's lack of rice cooker.
5. At the end I was thinking "didn't the preview have Saeki collapsing and Nino doing a jdrama run?" but then they both happened in the last minute, haha. Good preview work, editors.
6. Nekota and Miwa's scene was so creepy! I loved it. :D
7. I spelled Iinuma Tatsuji right in my episode 1 subs, hooray! \o/
8. Sera and Miwa, awkard detectives are great, I would watch their useless detectives spin-off any time.

Vindication that Nishizaki and Saeki fell to their hubris in this episode, with the former failing spectacularly despite his plotting and the latter collapsing even though he wasn't in a terribly fit state to go through with things. People from Teika seem to be utter prats, as they were in previous episodes.

Will Takashina do some scheming to get back at Nishizaki?

We didn't see the rice, but we did the rice bowl and the transparent plastic egg carton (with eggs!) on the table of the nap room at some point.

For a moment I thought Iinuma Tatsuji was an anagram for Unaim[ed] Justitia (read: Unaimed Justice), then I realised Japanese doesn't work the same way in English/Latin for anagrams. Could Iinuma be Saeki's nom de guerre or whatever while seeking treating at Sakura Hospital? Or is Iinuma an actual bloke, say the chap with the pean in x-ray?

What does Neko know about Iinuma? What does Saeki have on head nurse that she's so willing to cover his arse?

I really hope Takashina will actually turn against Nishizaki soon. The SNIPE and Darwin/Caesar have already become better-known in Japan thanks to the papers and demonstrations, so I don't even see how sticking with him would help Takashina's aims any,ore.

Ah yes, the egg carton too! (Doesn't he eat any vegetables though?)

I think the name on the X-ray in episode 1 was Iinuma, but it could be Saeki's pseudonym still. Well, hopefully we'll find out soon!

I really wonder how much Neko knows, too. I know Tokai seems to trust her work, but would he talk to her about his personal history and his family?
