Owarimonogatari Episode 2

*Warning Spoilers Below*

Since Oikura is returning to school in this timeline, that's where we start this episode off. The monologue is about Oikura's despise towards Araragi and him not returning such feelings back. They make a slight at Detective Conan in this opening sequence lol. 
I forgot that they make new OPs every episode. Ougi calls the coincidence of Oikura's return a strange twist of fate. For one reason or another, Ougi and Araragi are at his previous middle school. In his shoe locker, they find a letter addressed to him. Flashing back to what happened last episode, when Hanekawa informed Araragi of Oikura's return, Hanekawa also tells of Oikura's many questions regarding Araragi specifically. Once she leaves to tell Ms. Hoshino about Oikura's return, Araragi enters the classroom to meet Oikura. While he was taking a lighthearted and funny approach to her, Oikura opens up albeit with hostility. 
She sounds like a fucking granny in contrast to the first episode's flashback. Turns out she has some health issues revealed through a cough. We also learn that her absolute despise of Araragi is because she hates people who don't acknowledge why they are the way that they are. As she goes into a crazy frenzy, Araragi attempts to calm her down by putting his hands on her shoulders. She responds by stabbing his hand with a pencil. As he walks away, Senjougahara is seen standing by the doorway with Hanekawa hanging on to her in an attempt to keep her outside. 
This premise is kind of... out there. They want to fight each other over Araragi (not in the traditional way the phrase sounds). Oikura runs over to slap Senjougahara after hearing her say she's helping Araragi get into her college because that is her desire, not his. After she punches Oikura in return, she tells Araragi to take care of the rest since she will faint as well. In the present, Ougi explains a very weasel-esque story of how she was able to accompany him. Ougi disappears for a bit then reappears with Araragi in a different setting. 
They proceed to the discussion of their childhood and sparingly mix in Oikura; Araragi was born to police parents, Oikura returned to school as soon as Mrs. Tetsujo (the culprit of last episode's cheating) went on maternity leave, and Ougi reveals a feeling of being born very recently. Araragi realizes that he can't keep quiet about things when he's with Ougi. As the episode ends, Araragi sets the stage for himself telling Ougi about his own story, the next episode.

Thanks for reading!
