S2E1 - Declaration of War! A Challenge from P.A.N.D.R.A.
The P.A.N.D.R.A. release of several commercials that appear to be for the purpose of membership recruitment (or for simply flexing their muscles since there is no contact information given) abruptly forces Minamoto to set aside his anguish over Ikyuugo's mortal sacrifice to protect Taizou when he is charged the apprehension of a pair of sibling espers with electromagnetic powers that wish to manufacture a false news broadcast of The Children attacking normal humans without cause. Prior to mission zero hour, the quarry sibling electromagnetic espers introducing themselves with an electrical charge that incapacitates their helicopter and an electromagnetic eidolon pre-empts Minamoto's explanation of Kyousuke's ultimate goal being an esper-led war against humans. As Taizou frenzily works the main nerve center to locate them, Kaoru is loving the attention not realizing that she is playing right into the hands of the perpetrators who decide that it is necessary to have footage of Kaoru and

S2E2 - Beauty of Feature! Tsubomi Kiss Alert
While they are undergoing a cops-and-robbers exercise at Ichirou's behest to teach them the sentiments of the criminals that they confront, Kaoru and her teammates wonder what their leader is up to that for which their presence is a hinderance -- Minamoto in convoy with Taizou and Oboro to pay a visit to Fujiko Tsubomi who has been in a decade-long estivation. After a brief history lesson, Taizou concludes that not much can be accomplished and is about to lead Oboro and Minamoto away when Aoi and her teammates phase in from a teleportation jump eager to find out what their leader is doing. A ping-pong match of insults/errant comments/seduction and Kaoru's telekinetic shoving defines the conclusion of Fujiko's estivation after Shiho's psychometry reads Fujiko's involuntary energy siphoning as voluntary seduction/copulation. After an introductory kiss to Kaoru/Shiho/Aoi (much to their watery/soapy disgust) along with the just-arrived Naomi, Fujiko sets to bringing herself up to speed at

S2E3 - Finesse of Love! The Sea Which is the Nearest to Heaven
Taizou and Dr. Sakaki's endeavors to pacify Minamoto and dissuade him away from following through on his resignation announcement from the previous episode quickly take a back seat when Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi's extreme anguish and anxiety at losing their leader prompts the girls to combine their energies into a frenzied and effulgent psychic tempest. After successfully pacifying the girls before they completely destroy B.A.B.E.L. Headquarters with such ease that it could be argued that the tempest was by her design, Fujiko resolves to make Minamoto recant the resignation declaration as she spirits him away into a brief history lesson and personal anecdote. While Fujiko illuminates her awareness of Ikyuugo's final prediction for Minamoto through her admonition to guard against being such a workaholic and to spend quality time with his esper charges, Kaoru and her teammates are not thrilled about Taizou and Oboro paying them a visit. Fortunately, Taizou sees the light as he explains that

S2E4 - Woes Unite Foes! Do Safeblowing by Design
Taizou's magical anime hero emulation (and Minamoto resisting Fujiko's uxorial affection solicitation) gives way to Fujiko's maiden exhibition of unsolved probability case file #666 -- better known as »Do The Children become demons or angels in the future?« -- that depicts The Children having demonstrated a 29% probability of falling to vice (and a 26% probability of remaining in virtue). In an attempt to resolve the undecided 45%, Minamoto presents his esper charges with new portal limiters that serve as communicators/transponders like their predecessors and boast a function that enables any of the girls to rally their teammates' powers to enhance their own. Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi playing with all the treasures in the bank vault using their psychic powers is brought to a screeching halt when Minamoto reminds them that they are charged sentry duty thereof and that there are ECM generators lining the ceiling of the vault.

S2E5 - World Heritage! Then, Shall We Go to Kyoto?!
Aoi demonstrating a uxorial emphasis on properly aligning her leader's tie prior to boarding the westbound Shinkansen to her hometown Kyoto gives way to the disheartening revelation that Minamoto has been charged convergent criminal quarry navigation as the Comerican clarivoyant Ken approaches the pair having misunderstood that he is to carry his shoes (which Kaoru and Shiho encounter back in Tokyo) into the train. Upon arriving in Kyoto, the warm greeting that Aoi's junior brother Yuuki quickly turning frigid and dangerous due to Aoi's father Daisaku misunderstanding Aoi's affectionate description of Minamoto gives way to Ken and Minamoto disagreeing on whether to solicit Aoi's navigation assistance for their mission: apprehension an esper vandal called Clyde Barou that sees historical landmarks as his personal canvas. Minamoto lashing out at Ken before turning his frustration on Aoi becomes a horrible mistake when Ken detects that Clyde is on the move. Fujiko and the Comerican esper

S2E6 - Rare delicacies! Touch Me If You Can
While Aoi is helping Minamoto and Ken to wrap things up in Kyoto, Dr. Sakaki is arriving at Minamoto's Tokyo apartment expecting to impress Oboro into a dinner-and-movie date but finds that Oboro is rushing back to B.A.B.E.L. Headquarters citing the drama in Kyoto from the previous episode. After she gets over the euphoria of winning the race (and conking Dr. Sakaki on the head with a game controller), Kaoru's full-blown temper tantrum and accusation of Shiho of losing the race on purpose prompts Sakaki to advise Shiho to hold back a bit from commenting on what comes to mind. Shiho is about to riposite her perspective on Sakaki's advice when Kaoru suggests that Sakaki and Shiho race against each other, the duration thereof defined by lots of psychometric trash-talking -- and Sakaki losing to Shiho's concentration and his overconfidence. Shiho psychometrically teaching herself how to use the fishing pole to catch the quarry fish on the first try (to the astonishment of Sakaki who is a v

S2E7 - Autumn Holiday-making! Lunchbox is in the Underbush
This episode is more of a comical retrospective analysis of a camping/hiking school field trip conducted as a hybrid between a police interrogation and the Christian sacrament of confession as is demonstrated with Chisato who begins by explaining that Kaoru (and to a lesser extent) along with Shiho and Aoi were all excited about the field trip during the bus ride there. During the actual hiking trip, Kaoru and her teammates painting their leader Minamoto as a common relative of theirs prompts Chisato to recount that she has had euphoric company with Minamoto. Chisato's euphoric daydream example is quickly extinguished when a small pebble hits Kaoru who immediately accuses Touno of the offense in spite of the evidence indicating the inverse. Kaoru bragging about her homemade lunch ignites Touno's jealousy and a keep-away game whose aftermath is a scavenger hunt that nobody was prepared for. During a layover to wait out the rainstorm, Shiho and Aoi debate how to locate Kaoru (who is out

S2E8 - From Flies to Mosquitoes Everywhere! Minamoto is Using His Hands and Legs too!?
While the P.A.N.D.R.A. subordinates and administrators ponder and speculate what rationale Kyousuke is utilizing to put his faith in »the Queens« (a.k.a. Kaoru and her teammates who know to steer clear), B.A.B.E.L. is predicting a large-scale biological disaster and mobilizing to pre-empt it. Once inside the building, the B.A.B.E.L. crew finds several unconscious workers with swelled bumps on their heads. As he watches a mosquito fly around to land on Kaoru and then on Aoi, Minamoto realizes that the contamination is not why the workers are unconscious while he recovers himself from crashing into the wall. Shiho psychometrically confirming what Minamoto already knows and explaining the whole situation at hand quickly yields to Minamoto having been taken over by thousands of mosquitoes much to the delight of Kyousuke and Momotarou. Frightened for his gonads, Kyousuke advises that incapacitating the mosquito psychometer and exterminating the mosquitoes should resolve the situation -- a t

S2E9 - Much Dramas and Hates! Hatsune Runs Away from Home
Inhibited and encumbered by the mass of his ill-gotten payload as well as the police, Takashi desperately tries to compute a deus ex machina while Taizou and Oboro speculate upon Keiko Kojika's success prospects. Even as she detects his decreasing proximity and rushes to intercept him, Takashi uses a decoy rabbit to distract Hatsune and scores the unexpected bonus of Keiko being a lupine lunch for having Hatsune's necklace in hand. Minamoto being none too thrilled with the prospect of Hatsune's residence with his esper charges quickly takes a back seat to Takashi synthesizing a website to auction off his ill-gotten payload. Mio having successfully evacuated Takashi, Hatsune turning her anger on Keiko illuminates the root cause for Hatsune's absconding: Keiko's clumsy leadership being exacerbated by Akira's sycophantic and uxorious affinity for her.

S2E10 - Guys Prohibited! Afternoon of the Angel
Bored and frustrated with her homework, Kaoru longs for any kind of excitement not caring anything if it is a B.A.B.E.L. mission or playing a video game unaware that Ichirou (who has taken multiple photographs of what appears to be a lesbian affair between Naomi and her art teacher Ruriko) is the emissary of her volition when he approaches Minamoto for his help. Galvanized by lechery and libido, Kaoru cares nothing of the deja vu parallels of Ichirou's exhortation as she leads her teammates to the park where Naomi rendezvous with Ruriko to lead her on a date to an art gallery, a restaurant, and a cinema before heading to the high school art room. Once Kaoru telekinetically knocks the door down, she and her teammates find that Ruriko has painted three pictures of a man on a horse in spite of not wanting to. Suspecting that an esper is involved, Naomi had approached her art teacher with an offer of her services to resolve this imbrogilo. A telekinetic compression of disgust upon Ichirou

S2E11 - Formidable Enemy Shows Up! Black Phantom
Ken's precautionary explanation about the extremely dangerous Black Phantom esper crime organization obfuscates the preparations through which Kyousuke is leading P.A.N.D.R.A. in order to fiercely counterattack while B.A.B.E.L. mobilizes to provide security for a foreign political leader attending a meeting in Japan that is most likely a formal party considering that Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi are perplexed and disgruntled about their participation being precluded despite the probability of Black Phantom mortal designs on the political leader being at most 3%. Kyousuke's injunction to Minamoto of distance between his esper charges and P.A.N.D.R.A.'s vendetta with Black Phantom yields to Oboro and Taizou charging Minamoto the salvage of the aerial escort wreckage while P.A.N.D.R.A. successfully foils the Black Phantom assassination attempt.

Following right on the heels of the battle in the previous episode, Minamoto finds that P.A.N.D.R.A. has pulled the ol' switcheroo regarding Kyousuke who has evacuated the scene while leaving behind the unconscious Barret. A chess-computation campaign regarding the next counterattack against Black Phantom commences as Kyousuke administrates over a housekeeping conference with his subordinates over the previous operation while B.A.B.E.L. medically appraises both Kaoru and Barret. While he and Dr. Sakaki are computing how to interpret Barret's esper powers and life memories being extinguished with the Black Phantom subjugation, Fujiko's admonishment about wielding at all times a powerful hand blaster developed to kill espers whose corporeal constitution defies normal weaponry prompts Minamoto to renew his resolve to extinguish Kyousuke's volition unaware that P.A.N.D.R.A. has decided upon its next move which Shiho psychometrically detects among the mail Aoi has brought in.

After a moment of jubilant intrigue, Kyousuke gets the best of Aoi before preparing to demonstrate his disappointment of Kaoru refusing to join P.A.N.D.R.A. but instead decides to leave behind a photograph with the proposal that Kaoru endeavor to rescue her leader. Before anybody can stop her, Kaoru finds herself in Minamoto's cerebral pseudo-reality and that Minamoto bearing the burden of Ikyuugo's final prediction by himself is the engine driving the pseudo-reality. While Kaoru conscripts Minamoto into what she thinks is the deus ex machina needed to emancipate them both, B.A.B.E.L. has successfully located Setsuko holed up by herself but finds that it will take more than a Taizou Kiritsubo bulldozer blitzkrieg to apprehend her since there is a minefield surrounding the place.

Dr. Sakaki arrives shortly thereafter with Natsuko and Hotaru who are anguished at the scrutiny being directed at their vehicle at whose anterior is affixed a large conical drill.

Upon arriving in Imapalahem, Badjura has Kaoru and her teammates very exquisitely customized so that they are as princesses. Minamoto's vapid apprisal quickly gives way to Masara introducing herself with an energy ring attack and Fujiko quickly extinguishing the battle. Prince Badjura's explanation of his country Impalahem being in many ways similar to B.A.B.E.L. and boasting as its greatest treasure a statue that houses the souls of deceased espers and priestesses explicitly illuminates his volition -- to emancipate his esper priestess paramour Sera from Masara's metempsychotic subjugation which will only be extinguished by nothing less than combat

S2E16 - Transformation Problem! Fantastic Toy
While Black Phantom divides its emphatic energies between appraising the capabilities of a recent acquisition and computing how to acquire the Triple Boost for itself (and to prevent its adversarial utilization), Kaoru is driven off to another medical facility to be appraised for the most minuscule sign of structural damage brought about during the past battles. Unfortunately, the resultant »all systems go« does nothing to allay the concern shared by Minamoto and Dr. Sakaki that Kaoru's portal limiter will eventually be emasculated to nothing more than a fancy accessory with each successive incidence of the Triple Boost function being availed. The prospect of Kaoru emancipating herself from her portal limiter and falling to vice wanes in urgency as Shiho and Aoi are charged the apprehension of Black Phantom's recent acquisition Tim Toy alongside Naomi. In spite of Aoi successfully discerning the mechanics of his powers, she and Shiho prove to be no match for Tim Toy on their own. Naomi

Headquarters to pay him a visit driven by her childish alternate personality Carry who is just as zero-sum regarding Minamoto as Kaoru and her teammates whom she knocks out with an acoustic shockwave before flying off with Minamoto in full view of Ken and Mary along with their leader Colonel Grisham who decide to give chase. While B.A.B.E.L. works feverishly to locate Minamoto and Carry, Dr. Sakaki explains the prologue thereof.

The political and sentimental frenzy obfuscates Minamoto's computation of the fundamental ethical dilemma: while his esper charges are important and their development is his primary responsibility, Comerica sees Carrie as nothing more than a scientific mistake to be erased. Furthermore, setting aside Comerica for Japan, Kyousuke is always on the prowl for more espers to wield as soldiers -- Carrie being his quintessence volition because she knows no better.

There is little that can go awry as Takashi is in seventh heaven with Kaoru and her teammates warmly accepting him as is . . . except for the sudden arrival of Takashi's father Tekeno who has written his antipathy for espers into a book. His psychic powers now active in earnest, Takashi rushes off to settle the score with a bully.

Fujiko phasing out after an admonition for rigorous vigilance for Tim and Barrett yields to old Obata charging Hanae an important stewardship: a notebook endowed with the psychic power of serendipity. Unfortunately, Obata has two notebooks -- one of which Kyousuke discovered. Hypnotically emulating Minamoto, Kyousuke pollutes the B.A.B.E.L. database and decides to amuse himself by wielding Obata's notebook to compromise the cohesiveness Kaoru and her teammates enjoy.

Minamoto decides to have Kaoru sit out the next mission due to her neural damage -- a wise decision except that the lack of supervision is read as a signal for Mio to phase in with an exhortation of her assistance against Black Phantom. Hearing the name Black Phantom after a snapshot of Kaoru's prologue involving Yoshimi is more than enough reason for Kaoru to leap into action against her better judgment. After a brief battle with Kazura and Kagari, Momiji stopping Kaoru and smashing her limiter without realizing the consequences gives way to a demonstration of how a P.A.N.D.R.A. mission is conducted that thoroughly incenses Kaoru.
