30Enemies in the Same Boat! Safecracking Is Systematic2008-10-2625 minTaizou's magical anime hero emulation (and Minamoto resisting Fujiko's uxorial affection solicitation) gives way to Fujiko's maiden exhibition of unsolved probability case file #666 -- better known as »Do The Children become demons or angels in the future?« -- that depicts The Children having demonstrated a 29% probability of falling to vice (and a 26% probability of remaining in virtue). In an attempt to resolve the undecided 45%, Minamoto presents his esper charges with new portal limiters that serve as communicators/transponders like their predecessors and boast a function that enables any…
31World Heritage! C’mon, Shall We Go to Kyoto?2008-11-0225 minAoi demonstrating a uxorial emphasis on properly aligning her leader's tie prior to boarding the westbound Shinkansen to her hometown Kyoto gives way to the disheartening revelation that Minamoto has been charged convergent criminal quarry navigation as the Comerican clarivoyant Ken approaches the pair having misunderstood that he is to carry his shoes (which Kaoru and Shiho encounter back in Tokyo) into the train.

Shiho is about…
33Autumn Outing! The Lunch Box Is in a Grove2008-11-1625 minThis episode is more of a comical retrospective analysis of a camping/hiking school field trip conducted as a hybrid between a police interrogation and the Christian sacrament of confession as is demonstrated with Chisato who begins by explaining that Kaoru (and to a lesser extent) along with Shiho and Aoi were all excited about the field trip during the bus ride there. During the actual hiking trip, Kaoru and her teammates painting their leader Minamoto as a common relative of theirs prompts Chisato to recount that she has had euphoric company with Minamoto.

Minamoto Uses His Hands & Feet?!2008-11-2325 minWhile the P.A.N.D.R.A. subordinates and administrators ponder and speculate what rationale Kyousuke is utilizing to put his faith in »the Queens« (a.k.a.

Once inside the building, the B.A.B.E.L. crew finds several unconscious workers with swelled bumps on their heads. As he watches a mosquito fly around to land on Kaoru and then on Aoi, Minamoto realizes that the contamination is not why the workers are unconscious while he recovers himself from crashing…
35Letting Your Feelings Hang Out! Hatsune Runs Away2008-11-3025 minInhibited and encumbered by the mass of his ill-gotten payload as well as the police, Takashi desperately tries to compute a deus ex machina while Taizou and Oboro speculate upon Keiko Kojika's success prospects. Even as she detects his decreasing proximity and rushes to intercept him, Takashi uses a decoy rabbit to distract Hatsune and scores the unexpected bonus of Keiko being a lupine lunch for having Hatsune's necklace in hand.

The Angels` Afternoon2008-12-0725 minBored and frustrated with her homework, Kaoru longs for any kind of excitement not caring anything if it is a B.A.B.E.L. mission or playing a video game unaware that Ichirou (who has taken multiple photographs of what appears to be a lesbian affair between Naomi and her art teacher Ruriko) is the emissary of her volition when he approaches Minamoto for his help.

37A Mighty Enemy Attacks! Black Phantom2008-12-1425 minKen's precautionary explanation about the extremely dangerous Black Phantom esper crime organization obfuscates the preparations through which Kyousuke is leading P.A.N.D.R.A. in order to fiercely counterattack while B.A.B.E.L. mobilizes to provide security for a foreign political leader attending a meeting in Japan that is most likely a formal party considering that Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi are perplexed and disgruntled about their participation being precluded despite the probability of Black Phantom mortal designs on the political leader being at most 3%.

While Kaoru…

Break In!2009-01-1125 minAnnoyed by her telekinetic exhibition and her childish insistence on skiing to Fujiko's mountain villa in spite of its obfuscation by the snowstorm, Minamoto galvanizes Kaoru's limiter before leading his esper charges to the villa where Fujiko warmly greets them.

Fantastic Toy!2009-01-2525 minWhile Black Phantom divides its emphatic energies between appraising the capabilities of a recent acquisition and computing how to acquire the Triple Boost for itself (and to prevent its adversarial utilization), Kaoru is driven off to another medical facility to be appraised for the most minuscule sign of structural damage brought about during the past battles.

Caroline, a Destined Reunion2009-02-0125 minAs he leads Kaoru and her teammates through an underwater training exercise to emulate outer space, Minamoto is thunderstruck when his former paramour Caroline Magi blasts her way into B.A.B.E.L.
