You're Under Arrest Full Throttle 9-11

In her anxiety to find a husband, Yuriko has a crisis of confidence in her career choice after a disastrous traffic safety session with some school kids. On top of that, she gets ripped off by a fortune teller who exploits her naivety.

But she saves one of the kids from some Very Kind People through bluster and her extensive knowledge of offences, regaining her confidence in her career choice. 'I became a policewoman to help others!' Oh, and to chase cute teachers while she's at it.

After the fluff of the previous episode, I was quite surprised at the attempt at social commentary in this episode. It recalls the death of a baby, of heat stroke, after being left in the car while the parents played pachinko.

The portrayal of the mom was initially hugely unsympathetic, even if she was a victim of having her baby kidnapped. She's shown to be priotising her mobile phone conversation (and not locking her car) and shopping over her child's welfare. Her dress sense, especially the miniskirt, is probably supposed to suggest again that she prioritises her own appearance - again, at the expense of her child's welfare. From Tokuno's interview-interrogation, it seems that her shopping was for fashion bargains rather than household necessities. Her behaviour is so outrageous that the (supposedly) mildest person of the regular cast, Miyuki, who gives her a tight slap of great justice.

No complaints at all. Except that it would have been so lovely to have a Kanon reference in this episode. Certainly my appetite for that species of pastry fish, Tsukimiyaayu Hinanoris, has been revived. It's time to go on patrol again!
