Episode Title:
Akane and Kanata
Episode Description:
Forty-nine hours before the subway incident, Ryoko holds Kanata accountable for his and Akane's arrest, since he had escalated a police encounter while the two were pulled over for speeding. Aboard the train, Kanata successfully opens the doors before Kurt's shoulder gives out, causing the three to fall on top of each other before Akane rushes inside and sees them in a compromising position. After they explain the misunderstanding and Kanata's role in freeing the group, Akane apologizes to Kanata for doubting him. Ryoko contacts the group via phone to inform them of the situation, but the connection is suddenly lost. Kurt and Max deduce this and the train's other malfunctions to be part of a deliberate attack conducted by O.T.A.M. Directly addressing the group, O.T.A.M. prepares to reveal everything.
