Alice continues to freak out about God, so Lain does something drastic.  I explain what I think the message is, and it will shock you (not really).  No, middle schoolers should not date their teachers.   But first, I discuss what we know about the upcoming Banana Fish English dub (sorry).  See you at the beginning of fall season for some anime, but I'm not sure which yet!  You love them? Isn't that right, Lain?: [email protected]   

Things are getting really bad in the real world, and at least a couple people die.  Alice confronts Lain and basically just panics her whole way through the interaction.  God gets so upset that he materializes a body or something.  If that's true about me, what about you, God?: [email protected]

For a partial recap episode, some pretty major shit happened and I talk about how confused I am about it.  Lain saves Alice, I gues Don't talk about me like I'm a machine, I'm not: [email protected]   

Lain tries to stop god from existing.  The Knights might be related to the Knights Templar, but that doesn't matter anymore.  Three grown men confess their love to Lain, and each is progressively weirder.  A fake family and fake friends, yes, it was all just a lie, Lain: [email protected]

We talk about Roswell, conspiracies, and the internet. Lots of grainy footage. I'm pretty sure this all boils down to aliens, at this point. Well, either that or black mold.  Lain confronts Taro, and they both shove things in each other's mouths. Lain remembers being placed with her "parents".  The truth has power for the very reason that it is the truth, Lain: [email protected]

"Lain" spreads vicious rumors about Alice and a teacher, possibly sets part of the school on fire, and is definitely having an identity crisis.  Are all Lains actually Lain? Is Lain a god?  I'm the only me, right Navi?: [email protected]

So we're just not going to address the explosion, then?!  Lain gets to chat with the guys with the weird goggles, and I gush over the tall guy's blue eyes for some reason.  The Knights are getting serious.  Tell me, Iwakurwa Lain, are you and the Lain in the Wired in reality one and the same person?: [email protected]

Lain is in the sky, and people are deeply unnerved for obvious reasons.  Kids may or may not be attempting to worship her or give her their psychic energy.  The professor won't answer one simple question, he'd rather die.  No, it's not a good idea to flood your room!  It was just the cooling system for your room, Lain: [email protected]

Lain's talking to inanimate objects about the internet and prophecies.  Mika's probably supposed to fulfill one of those prophecies, at least according to the bathroom door, a napkin, and some coffee she spilled.   eveyonegetsconnectedeveryonegetsconnected: [email protected]

Lain's trying to find out what's going on with all the recent suicides while kids play a game of tag.  Everyone's worried because Lain has changed, and they're telling her that a lot.  The wired has voicemail for some reason.  I'll be completely metamorphosed, Dad: [email protected]
