EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 6 marks the midpoint of the season and capitalizes on the internal fractures that surfaced in Episode 5's 'The School's Number One Most Treacherous Man,' pushing the boys' unity past its breaking point under calculated pressure from the Underground Student Council. Hana's escalation here recontextualizes the power dynamics heading into the season's back half. This episode directly sets up Episode 7, 'Meiko's Delicious Restaurant,' where the consequences of shifting alliances and deepening manipulation continue to unfold.
