I like how Atsuko's story ends, even if it was pretty predictable. I'm not entirely sure if I'm supposed to like Kurata much in the end, though. Also, the appearance of Atsuko's great-grandmother as deus ex machina seemed a bit lazy, but I guess there's only so much one can do with a story in two episodes.
Mind you, I'm not really complaining; I'm still loving the show. New girl next episode!
