Episode Title:
Hot House.
Episode Description:
Spurred by busybody rumormongering neighbors, Yoshiko's suspicion that Oji is cheating on her grows, though she tries to suppress it. It did not help matters that she spots Oji with Layla, who later visits their house because Fomalhaut, the space army commander, is unconvinced that Oji is the savior and wants her to do more "research" on him. At their house, Yoshiko becomes more jealous seeing Oji share his passion for music, but has to leave the house to get her butcher's discounts; she also reflects somewhat guiltily that she had progressively threw away his records and musical equipment over the years (her excuse being that there is "no room" in their apartment). In the meantime, the bumbling Kotoko, Eriko, and Rinko gas both Oji and Layla and place them seminude in bed in an attempt to induce lovemaking (they were apparently under the impression that it was necessary to trigger Oji's weapons ability). Oji and Layla awake in time and escape before Yoshiko finds them in bed to go on a mission, and Oji is shown to play an extended riff that releases weapons to destroy enemy alien ships (albeit without his knowledge). Oji returns home to find a note from Yoshiko reminding him of their anniversary, and she later presents him with a new "Flying V" guitar (though in a different color, red) as a gift.
