Days later, Junko is still mourning Candy's demise as she recalls how it was given by her parents who died when she was just 10. As such, she has regarded Candy as her only family member all along and is very affected by the loss of her beloved. She is unsure of how she should face the future alone and keeps crying.One day, Honjou is going out for a house visit when Sekimoto comes to inform that one of their patients is bringing his pet dog which suffered a fracture to the clinic. However, Honjou can't be bothered about it and tells her to take good care of an actress' dog instead before driving off. On the way back to the clinic, Sekimoto bumps into Junko who thanks her for taking care of Candy while it was alive. Junko wants to thank Honjou too but he is not around. When Sekimoto hears Junko's praises for Honjou, she feels extremely uncomfortable.
Sekimoto recalls how upset Junko was with regards to Candy's death and decides to ask Junko out. She reveals to Junko about Honjou practising preferential treatment towards his patients by favouring the rich and famous. As such, Candy's death was caused by Honjou delaying treatment while he was on the phone chit-chatting. Sekimoto apologises for not being able to get Honjou to save Candy first which gets Junko very agitated. She blames herself for bringing Candy to Honjou's clinic and accidentally overhears some female students talking about Jigoku Tsuushin.At midnight, Junko accesses the site and keys in Honjou's name. Ai receives the message and meets Junko to tell her how the procedure works. Upon hearing that she will be sent to hell when she dies, Junko starts to hesitate about pulling the red string.
Junko happens to see a news report on TV about medical malpractice and asks Sekimoto for help to get evidence on Honjou's misdeeds. However, Sekimoto says that the clinic is frequented by many celebrities and politicians thus the matter will not be reported by any TV station. Nevertheless, Junko refuses to give up as she doesn't want any more victims to die like Candy. As such, Sekimoto agrees to help Junko search for incriminating evidence against Honjou.
At night, Sekimoto brings Junko into the clinic to look for information. Just then, Honjou returns to the clinic and finds out what they are doing. However, Honjou refuses to admit his mistake and even taunts Junko to ask the animals in the clinic if he is a lousy vet. Knowing very well that the animals can't speak, Honjou is not scared of Junko's threats to expose him. When Honjou insults Candy for being a mere stray which has no right to live, Junko is furious and pulls the red string to take revenge.
This sets Ai and her team to get to work. Honjou is caught in an accident and suffers a fracture on his leg. He is pushed into the ambulance roughly by Ichimoku Ren and Wanyuudo. Later, when Honjou comes to, he finds himself trying to get the attention of them and Honne-onna who claim that they do not understand what he is saying. Honjou refuses to admit his mistake and is sent to hell with animals clawing all over him...The format of the show tends to get repetitive i.e. someone hates a person, seeks the help of Jigoku Shoujo and hesitates, gets angry and pulls the red string. It can get boring over time but this episode is still fine because the villian really got on my nerves and the way he was punished proves that there is something called retribution after all. However, I'm not sure if I will continue to watch this if the format remains unchanged. I surely hope that the story can get deeper than what the current situation offers. It would be best to provide an insight on Ai and her subordinates' backgrounds since I think this would be more interesting.
