Durarara 8 - Transient Dream

We're back to Celty again this time. She had a day off after almost a year, and for that Shinra also decided to do the same. To commemorate this rare day, she would like to cook for Shinra, and she did it nicely but Shinra's teary eyes led her to think that she screwed up her cooking and swept it away into a big black sphere. Talk about misunderstanding. More conversations about Celty's head followed, but ended up with Celty getting angry after Shinra repeated his remark that she didn't need her head, and that she didn't like to be treated like a kid. Talk about another misunderstanding? As she headed out, she had a deep thought about the importance of her head and how her current self fare without it. Nevertheless, both made up later and went to Simon's sushi restaurant for some food..

To the Dollars members. The kidnapping case was solved but Kadota decided to look further into the issue, starting with the Yagiri Pharmacy, although he has yet to make any move. Oh his way back, he passed by a guy who later tried to bomb-suicide the Yagiri Pharmacy but failed and was later attended by Shinra. Karisawa and Yumacchi had their own little scene too. So did Mikado trio, where Anri apparently lost her shoes in her locker. Both Anri and Mikado went looking for it together, but Anri decided to give up for that day and went home, although shortly after Mikado did found the shoes and returned it to Anri, without being able to say much words. And finally the scenes switched to Seiji and her "girlfriend", and the truth were revealed..

comments: This episode seems going all over the place for me because of the scenes switching, but the major talking point is undoubtedly Celty and the pursuit of her head, with big spoilers revealed regarding her head. But then we probably already see that coming from long ago, more so for the novel/manga readers. Celty as a cooker is rather unexpected and the fact that they're delicious made it even more surprising (especially after seeing how she tried to cut the vege with her mini scythe). I wonder how much her "current" head affect her body/emotions. I do share Dotachin's curiosity about the kidnapping and human experiment by Yagiri Pharmacy, and it looks like more details would be filled to us in the next episode.
