Episode 20 was the weakest in Satokowashi so far. The St. Lucia shenanigans weren't well executed. Maybe R07 had written a good story here, but Passione didn't tell it well.

Satoko setting a trap for Rika to remind her of the old times?
Good idea on paper, poor execution. I don't even know what else to say.

Satoko's trap accidentally injuring someone?
Good idea on paper, poor execution. This one wasn't too badly handled, actually. It just suffered from being associated with the silly trap scene.

Satoko believing Rika snitched on her but it's just a misunderstanding?
Good idea on paper, poor execution. Rika specifically praising Satoko's trapmaking skills to her clique right before felt so hamfisted. It's like her defending Satoko was just a plot point to rush that one unfitting line in, not a real character moment.

Satoko getting punished and breaking down?
Good idea on paper, poor execution. A huge prison dungeon with orange prisoner jumpsuits and all? Fucking seriously? What did I just watch? Can't even maintain suspension of disbelief over something this ridiculously over the top.

Sorry for being a broken record.
