Noriko calls Suzie “sticky” - constantly seeking out misery and the misery will come to find her. I don’t really understand the “ate my eggplant” thing though.

The narrative has started to become convoluted with the reveal of Masa’s biological dad and Masa’s possible connection to the Yakuza. Did Masa really work for Hime or it’s just Suzie’s wild imagination? Anyway, Masa looks dashing in that baby blue suit. 😘

Now Hime’s Yakuza dad wants her to prove herself (to become his successor) and find him the Dark Manual. Then she gets her men to ransack Suzie’s home.

Based on a more detailed family registry called Kaiseigen Koseki, Masa’s real dad is Hiromasa Matsumoto and he is still alive. Suzie also learns that Masa has changed his insurance policy just 3 days before he went missing. He named his real dad as a new beneficiary.

It’s revealed that Sunny can lie too but not very good at it. Sunny having another flashback of bloody images from E01 while scanning/copying info from Noriko’s Kaiseigen Koseki. 

I find “Sticky” isn’t as gripping as the previous 3 episodes. The Yakuza subplot is the least interesting part of Sunny. It begins to feel like a typical crime drama. 😣

I agree. I'm much more interested in the mystery of what happened to Suzie's husband and son and in her gradual bonding with Sunny. The Yakuza plot feels like a distraction, and I'm turned off by the violence.
