Kenzo pays a visit to his former classmate from long ago, Dr. Rudy Gillen, in order to get a professional opinion about Johan’s erratic behavior, but this man doesn’t believe Kenzo and thinks he’s just a crazy lunatic who’s only trying to blame an imaginary figure for his heinous crimes. However, he gets the surprise of a lifetime when he discovers from interviewing a dangerous sexual predator that his latest victim had been at the request of a friend who just happens to be none other than Johan himself. Dr. Gillen then decides on paying a visit to the crime scene at Mrs. Kemp’s house, and it’s soooo creepy. The room is just as Jurgens had described in his testimony – numerous photos of an old woman standing next to a young boy, along with a seriously frightening doll with eyes that follow his every move as if she’s just waiting for the perfect moment to stab him to death. Now that he finally has the evidence that confirms Johan’s existence with the letters and photos, he decides not to cooperate with the police and helps Kenzo escape from the authorities. Just before departing, Dr. Gillen suggests that perhaps Johan has already found his ideal family, but who could that possibly be?

What I absolutely love about Kenzo is that he’s an authentically kind and valiant human being, and I can even believe that there may be hope for humanity after all. Despite the fact that he lives in this tragically miserable world, he tries to create a positive change for the future one step at a time. He is definitely someone worthy of admiration, and that is why I think I am so intrigued by him. This episode proves once again that he always sees the best in people instead of focusing on the negative (like so many of us do), and I know that I could definitely learn from his example. He could’ve just as easily disdained Rudy (Dr. Gillen) for cheating on the exams and regaining his coveted position, but instead he decided to remain quiet about the little incident. It turns out that he had also cheated on the exams as well, but Kenzo was better at hiding it. Great episode.
