As somebody who has very similar family issues, I was dreading that the moral of this week's episode would be, "You just need to go talk to your estranged racist, bigoted family, and everything will turn out fine," because that's absolutely not how it ever works out in real life. I do wonder if there's going to be more to that, or if "It's fine for things to stay as they are, at least you're not trapped in an alternate universe where everybody thinks you're a monster" is going to be the conclusion to that plot thread...

I wonder if human Yuri is estranged from her family too, and if so what horrible family tradition she's fleeing in that reality. Otherwise it would be odd for her to end up in the exact same living situation.

The pacing of this show is so interesting, since the slice of life bits get so much nice breathing time but the big plot points get a bit rushed along. It was the same issue with the Jiro and the Snake episode, where just so much plot got pushed into one episode that it didn't really get the breathing time it needed. It does still mostly work though! In an ideal world I think leaving the episode on a cliffhanger would have been stronger, but I still get and like what it's going for. I wonder if that's a result of them trying to push too much into their runtime or if the manga had similar pacing issues.
I still really enjoyed the episode though! Shoutout to Buchio putting his face sadly in his mug after he and Yuri have their fight, and honorable mention to the Yokai astronaut we saw on the tv.

Jiro seems to be acting as a substitute father for Mutsumi. I don't think their relationship will go further than that? I certainly hope not
