Cut to flashback of Saito asking Kenshin if he said goodbye to Kaoru. Kenshin glares at him and Saito says they should get on friendlier terms since they'll be fighting Shishio together.

    Kenshin has been wandering and stuff, while then he finds a woman bandit. Hah hah, I loved that part. Kaoru and Yahiko are about to depart to Kyoto. Megumi runs into our ever so dear Aoshi again, from the other group thats starts with a W and sounds like Wasabi. Shishio looks really... like a mummy. That little person who sends messages around is really... strange. But it seems pretty cool. Sanosuke has been running around chopping trees down. In the end Sanosuke gets more lost... as expected. Megumi is being worried and stuff, and then we shall see more of Kenshin and the female child bandit next episode! Can't wait.moreless
