Laboratory of Death

Megumi, beginning to notice something strange about herself, rejects both Hiroko and even Maeda, and runs away. At Ryuichi's hideout, Miyako pleads, "I don't want to go back to that house." Then Megumi arrives and says, "You don't have to go back." Megumi then causes a poltergeist phenomenon and collapses. Mitsui takes Megumi to Professor Suenaga's research lab, but the equipment malfunctions and becomes uncontrollable. Maeda begs Mariko to use her powers to save Megumi. "If I cure her, will you turn yourself in?" Mariko asks. Maeda promises. Mariko is given a day's grace and throws a home party. Everyone tries to act cheerful despite the circumstances.
