I happen to like spoilers. If you don't, what the hell are you doing here to begin with? I like spoilers because I like to know what's going on, and sometimes when you're trying to watch 24 episodes worth of a subtitled anime you can get kinda lost. Sometimes you have to choose between reading subtitles and watching the show, when all you ever really wanted to do was stare at the pretty boys to begin with. But suddenly you realize that you're also interested in the story, and spoiler episode summaries can come in handy. I found a nice spoiler summary page once and have since used it to better understand the series and to help me find specific episodes to show off to friends. These summaries will be my interpretations of what happened, along with some inevitable commentary.Because remember: I have a big mouth.

EPISODE 1: LOCKVOGEL (decoy): We start out with four guys going down the road in a van, with one of them clutching a computer disk. They're attacked by four creeps in masks (nope, not Schwartz! Although you get this Schuldig-looking freak here) and they're killed, apparently, but I was disappointed because we don't actually get to see the people die. Bah! The scene cuts to a cute little couple, Masato (boy) and Michiru (girl) who are saying goodnight outside of Michiru's apartment. Masato teases her and asks her: "Your computer is your lover, isn't it?" (*cackles*) But then as he leaves, the out-of-control van careens off the overpass and lands perfectly on top of the kid. Squish! Nice shot. Damn, he was cute, too.
We see the four killers, who aren't Schwartz, one who licks his ax (like Farfie), and one who has blinding orange hair (like Schu). They were supposed to get the computer disk but failed. Failures! The leader recognizes Michiru as being the girl at the scene.
We finally get to meet the Weiß boys, who are working in a flowershop consumed by giddy schoolgirls. We meet Ouka in this episode as she claims Omi as hers, and then she buys flowers as a present for Omi. Aya yells at everyone: "If you don't buy anything, go home!" but no one listens to him. Ken yells at Yohji to do something about all the crazy girls, and Yohji, who is the only one who doesn't seem to be completely overwhelmed by it all, says "I'll look after the girls over 18. Omi will look after the children." (LMAO! Yohji's a slut from Day One!)
Omi notices Michiru standing outside the shop looking moody, and so runs out to her. The other schoolgirls tell the Weiß boys what happened, and for the love of rum what a lot of miserable embarrassing attention they put on the poor girl! Everyone just kinda stares at her a minute, and then Omi offers her flowers. Awwww! Ouka and the other girls complain about it until Yohji and Ken say how Michiru is different and actually buys flowers from them. Then all the girls start yelling at them! ^_^
The Weiß boys go down to the basement to get their first mission of the series from Persia. (Charlie's Angels!) Weiß is told to kill the four creep badguys.
Michiru is in the library on her laptop hacking into info about the reporters who were killed in the van when she gets spooked and runs out. In the hall she meets Kimura, who's pretty cute (but not Crawford) and they go to a cafe to chat. Kimura tells her that the disc is the key to solving the mystery, and says he wants to help her and protect her. Flirting! So quick after her boyfriend got squished. Tsk tsk!
Kimura has "nice eyes" (as opposed to "mean eyes") but then as you see light glint across his glasses, you start thinking "Uh oh..."
Michiru gets a letter stating: "If you want to know the facts about the affair, come to Villa-White at Mount Takeda." Hoping to discover clues about the disc and its password, she and Kimura head out to this cute little log cabin in the snow. Omi pops out of the door with firewood, nearly scaring the piss out of Michiru. They each realize who the other is, and Yohji sees the letter and gets pissed, saying that he wrote it and that Ken gave it to the wrong person... because knowing Yohji, it could have been a letter explaining a girlfriend to a different girlfriend...Michiru's upset because it was nothing important, and Aya invites Michiru and Kimura to stay the night. Kimura looks concerned and Aya points it out, but Kimura insists nothing is wrong. They all sit around (except Aya and Ken, who are out "getting food") and Yohji's telling bad stories about Omi ("Then Omi slipped and landed under her skirt!") when Ken calls on Omi's little cel phone. Omi's totally dressed like a girl. Omi says that Ken is having car trouble, so he and Yohji leave to "help" him.
Michiru goes on the balcony and sees a shooting star, and the romantic little twit almost kisses Kimura! With his glasses all glowing creepily. Then she pushes him away and cracks the password, decifers the code, and discovers bribery plans from the Minister of Energy. Then Kimura hucks an ax at her, missing her but cutting her cheek. He takes his nerd glasses off to reveal mean eyes, oh no! (*cackles*)
All four badguys are there and they're going to kill the chick, and we see Yohji-kun waiting in the shadows. "I'll let you pick the weapon that you'll be killed with," they tell her, and she falls back on the bed. The lights go out and she falls through a trapdoor. The badguys think they see her escaping off the balcony so they give chase, and Omi makes the first kill with one of his darts. Yohji gets the next prick with his wire. "Remember," he says, "make a girl cry and you pay for it later."
One bad guy leaps at Michiru with his weapon, and the wig comes off to reveal a grinning Ken! Who kills the guy with his bugnuks. Aya kills Kimura last, with his pretty Katana. He breaks the mask in half, but again we don't get to see it happen.
Michiru wakes up later to find all the dead bodies laying around the cabin. GROSS!! She shrieks, as probably would I, since they just kinda left her there with all the dead bodies. Damn! The next day Omi's telling her on the phone how scared and miserable they were. Then they realize that she was sitting right there in front of the flower shop, and she offers Aya flowers. Yipes!
