Monster Episode 5 - The Girl From Heidelberg
It's been a couple of weeks (thank you, BigFire!) since the last episode. Nina Fortner is a bright, busy university student in Heidelberg who, unbeknownst to her, was adopted by her current parents - but since it's her twentieth birthday they've sworn to tell her. She receives a mysterious e-mail saying that someone "wants to bury her in flowers", and her friends arrange for her to meet this person. In the meantime, Tenma continues to investigate Johan's whereabouts, learning more disturbing facts about his childhood, and realises that Johan's twin sister could still be in danger - and Johan is closer to her than she realises...
It's fairly obvious from the beginning of the episode where it's going, obviously, but it's still excellent stuff - the director (and mangaka) have a brilliant grasp of cliffhanger endings, and this episode was no different. Not much else to say, really, except Monster continues to be great.
