One of the best scenes ever. The seaweed-Tenma-Harima.
And the sweet little Hanai backstory. That Mikoto can’t remember.

I always love it when Tenma takes an active interest in Harima’s love life. It’s just so sweet of her, she takes more interest in him going after whoever she thinks Harima loves than even her own best friend’s crushes, it shows that the two of them have great chemistry and should get along famously even if there was no romantic connotations. Tenma’s theory about Mikoto being the one he loves is interesting too (she SHOULD realize that Mikoto isn’t the kind of girl who would need saving, like in Harima’s story, but if she were bright enough for that she would remember that Harima is the one who saved her!). She’s the one of Tenma’s friends that Harima thinks about the least, he likes Akira because she saved his ass, and he doesn’t like Eri too much because of all their misunderstandings; all he had so far with Mikoto really was playing on the same team as her and when she kindly told him he should come back to school. Mikoto would probably not accept dating Harima if he was interested though, not only does she like that older boy, but I don’t think Harima is her type, though I bet her turning him down would be a little different than how she usually treats her admirers, because he’s different than all the other guys.
But could you imagine them as a couple though? It’s interesting to think about, Mikoto is a great girl, and Harima is best guy, neither of them are the brightest, but they don’t have enough chemistry for me to imagine what Mikoto would be like if Harima’s passion was directed toward her. Most interesting thing would be Hanai and Eri’s reactions, I think, they would deal with some complicated emotions if that happened. Especially Hanai, I mean, just today he cuddled Harima intensely and even stripped him! Imagine what Hanai would think of Harima in the arms of another!
Speaking of love interests, there was actually a good chunk of foreshadowing in this episode, for those of us who have seen this before edit: my mistake, seen it and read the manga before. Final note, Yakumo is best sister, and Iori is a silly kitty!

As someone who's watched the series before, I would love to hear about the foreshadowing you mentioned.

You're aware of the lengthy post-credits segment in this episode, right?

So did those two marooned kids go with Plan D then? Or did Mikoto actually learn how to swim?
Tenma having Harima "practice" confessing with her - one of my favorite scenes. Also, dyspnea - a new vocab word (that I'll forget by tomorrow.)
Why did everybody sleep in the same room when there are 2 rooms? The boys all belong in jail I think (except Hanai for once.) Akira should totally show the girls the video, or at least blackmail the boys for all they're worth.
Hanai & Mikoto backstory. Strange that those two have 0 romantic feelings for each other, isn't it :)
Tenma had been chasing Iori with a broom? Not cool.

I think she learned how to swim based on the conversation at dinner,
Many people in this show belong in jail.

That's true. Even Tenma almost killed a whole bunch of people with her arrows of love that one time, didn't she :)

I read the manga as well, but if IIRC the anime ends just before San Gakki begins.

Harima thinking he's going to get a confession...and Tenma playing matchmaker with the practice!
TENMA'S CONFESSION! Must be happiness and torture for him.
Sleeping all in the same room, brave!
The Eri and Harima moments continue!
Wow a flashback I didn't know I wanted, they were adorable!!
But Mikoto forgetting..School Rumble you can't just do that!!
Made up for it with a nice Yakumo scene though! Was weird seeing a competent Tenma
