Episode Description:
Kyoko's Big Shock! Akemi and Godai Together?! Kyoko has stopped talking to her father because of him going to Mr. Otonashi without telling her. As fate would have it she is so mad that she ends up deciding to go back to Maison Ikkoku to talk to the new manager. On her way back she stops in at Chachamaru and finds Yotsuya, Akemi and Mrs. Ichinose drinking. They tease her about leaving and Akemi takes things too far by telling her that if Kyoko doesn't come back then she'll go after Godai herself. Kyoko angrily tells her that she should and leaves in a huff. Before she goes back home she stops at Maison Ikkoku to see Godai cleaning the front walkway. Realizing that he's the manager puts her at ease and convinces her to go back home. Later that week Godai gets a call at work from Akemi. She's in a love hotel with no money and needs him to come bail her out. Threatening to kill herself if he doesn't Godai rushes over and finds a drunken Akemi in room 302. As the two leave the love hotel they just happen to run into Kozue and a group of her friends on the street. Shocked at seeing Godai leaving the hotel with another woman Kozue silently walks away. The next day Akemi tells Godai that he should be grateful that she helped him end things with Kozue, but Yusaku can't help but feel badly about the way things ended between them. Calling Kozue doesn't work however and so it seems that their relationship is doomed to end on a sad note. That day Mrs. Ichinose visits Kyoko at her parents' apartment and tells her that the whole Koze proposal was a misunderstanding and that she should come home. Kyoko is finally convinced and packs her bags. However on the way back to Ikkoku Kyoko runs into Kozue and the two begin to talk. Kozue breaks down in tears and tells Kyoko about seeing Godai and Akemi leave the love hotel together. Back at Maison Ikkoku the tenants are waiting for Kyoko to arrive.
