New episode out! I got bored enough to watch it, so I'll provide my own summary this time.
Kyururu has lost her sketchbook in the calamity of the last episode. The trio decides to split up, but not before serval gets distracted and munches on a few berries. As kyururu wanders off by herself she runs into two bird Friends: Western Parotia and Greater Lophorina who return her sketchbook. Their speech mannerisms are mysterious, and they ask her questions such as "why do you want to go home," "what's there," before ending with the cryptic aphorisms such as "Perhaps [your home] never existed at all," "if it's not there there's no need to look back," and my favorite "if there's no path behind you the only way to can go is forward." They immediately run into Passenger Pigeon fFriend afterwards who has traveled through all areas of the park. Kyururu solicits her help in getting to the next scene in the sketchbook: a ferris wheel (the famous one from S1). The pigeon has seen a similar scene in the Japari Hotel, and they journey there together (with the pigeon carrying Kyururu, and Caracal/Serval following on land)
Cut to a flash scene of Dog leaving her house.
Back to the hotel – The hotel is in the middle of the ocean and is partially sunk, and the staff (a Pig, snake and one other animal i don't remember) who are probably bored out of their minds cynically remark that no one in their right mind would come here. The manager explains that it started sinking because the sea was "in a bad mood." At the reception of the hotel, Serval finds a bell and plays around with it. The trio are welcomed by the hotel manager, and they visit the hotel's gift shop. They are intrigued by plushes of themselves (and of most of the characters of the S2 cast!?).
In their hotel room, Pigeon requests a drawing from Kyururu as a souvenir (since she couldn't find a plush of herself).
Cut to Fennec and Arai (Raccoon) sending Aramdillo and Pangolin on another mission. They want them to hunt for Ceruleans that "look like themselves [look like Friends]". Armadillo & Pangolin are skeptical but realize the danger this would pose to the park. Jump to the owls explaining things a bit more: the ceruleans have been spotted as "clones" of Friends (e.g. Panda, Cheetah) that were stronger than other Ceruleans. Neo-Kaban (who we know always accompanies the owls) speculates it's because of Kyururu. Neo-Kaban demonstrates by putting Ceruleium on a piece of a drawing of the Owl Kyururu gave them, which then takes the form of the Owl. But of course she failed to take proper security precautions and the cerulean-Owl ends up overtaking its container and escaping. The owls/neo-kaban begin to run (fly) away, but Arai/Fennec-san jump in and defeat the Cerulean.
Tea time with Arai/Fennec/Pangolin/neo-Kaban/Owls/etc: The discuss that the strength of a Cerulean might be related to the strength of a human's emotional attachment to something (one might wonder why the Ceruleans then even exist given Kyururu's emotional void heh). This is a big problem because Kyururu continues to draw friends in her sketchbook, thus spawning more Ceruleans. New mission: find Kyururu [and stop her?].
Back to the underwater hotel. In what's perhaps one of the few visually emotional scenes in S2, we see the ferris wheel from S1 sunken underwater, implicitly confirming that the main island from S1 was indeed abandoned and somehow sunk. Kyururu hands pigeon a drawing of all the friends she's met so far. Kyururu asks if pigeon has ever been to a place with humans. But the response is negative. This seems to touch Kyururu who stands speechless.
Fade to Serval sleeping on the bed. woken up by an alarmed Caracal: Kyururu's gone missing. The camera pans to Serval finding her sitting at the edge of an airplane wing above the ocean, contemplating: does the house she's searching for really exist? Echoing the bird's earlier foresight: what will she do if it doesn't? Serval, ever the logician suggests that" if it doesn't exist we can't look for it." But since they're looking for it, it has to exist!
As kyururu gets up and begins to walk, the airplane wing snaps, and Kyururu falls into the ocean.
Overall this is probably the best episode of S2 (out of the 6 or so that I've seen), and the plot turning Kyururu into the unwitting villain is at the very least exciting.
