Last episode, we were bombarded with new roommates joining the house, and now it's time to see how Vivi, Tupas and Kai are settling in. It's clear that everyone loves Vivi, and who can blame them? Well, everyone but Hana, probably, because that ray of sunshine is after her man.
The drama kicks off when Ryo comes home from a basketball game with a twisted ankle. Seeing him hobbling around with crutches and feeling pitiful, Hana jumps into nurse mode and begins tending to him. Unfortunately, Vivi is too powerful a rival for Hana's Florence Nightingale act because, even though they just met, Ryo and Vivi quickly bond over their tales of moving to a new country without speaking the language (the United States for him, Japan for her), while Hana pouts in the kitchen. Not only that, when asked why she decided to join "Terrace House," Vivi says she came to look for a life partner (while also living in a fun environment). Sounds like her goals align with Ryo's since he previously said that he wants to marry the next woman he dates.
Hana must have realized that she needs to seize the moment and tell Ryo how she feels before he fully falls for the blonde beauty, because she starts going on the offensive. Over a homemade meal of tofu burger patties, Hana tries to lift Ryo out of his funk by telling him he's like a superhero and she's inspired by him. She then awkwardly segues into confessing that she has "fuzzy feelings" for him and she would like his help figuring out what those feelings mean. Ryo isn't over the moon with this development, though. Instead, he looks like he has more pressing matters on his mind.
