Welcome to Part 2 of "Terrace House Tokyo 2019-2020"!! Taking Sho-chan's place in the commentators' lounge for this episode is Rui Hachimura of the NBA Washington Wizards, which left everyone visibly shook. It turns out Hachimura is a super fan of "Terrace House." He's rejected every offer for TV appearances that have come his way, but he leapt at the chance to dish some snark with our favorite panel.

The episode starts where Part 1 of the series left off: in the playroom where Kenny has declared his feelings for Risako, but she is not exactly jumping for joy. After a long pause, Risako says she's been thinking about a lot of things lately (pointing at her head to emphasize this point), and while she cares about him a lot, she's not ready to be his girlfriend just yet.

In other news, Ruka has figured out his next career move. He's going to work in a bar! He was wandering around Shimokitazawa when he was suddenly drawn to an "Avengers" billboard that was actually the entrance to a bar for fans of American comic books. Ruka thinks it's a solid step towards being in Marvel movies, but Kaori isn't impressed and uses this opportunity to segue into postponing their dinner date until they get to know each other better. She says she's not sure what to talk about with him, but I suspect there's too much of a difference in maturity levels.
