Gokusen Drama Season 2, Episode 7

My summary of this episode may not be completely accurate due to my mediocre Japanese skills, but I tried! ^_^ ; The theme of this episode involves job interviews and applications. Yankumi is reminded that she was only hired to teach class 3-D for the last 3 months of the school year, until they graduate. The Chairman, who hates Yankumi, is not keen on extending her contract, so at the end of 3 months, she is out! This forces Yankumi to think about applying for jobs. Her students will also be job hunting soon (assuming that with their grades, college is probably not an option for many of them). In a hilarious scene, Yankumi rehearses job interviews with her class. First she is the interviewer, and then her students dress in silly outfits (Hayato and Keita are so adoable here!) and they interview Yankumi.

Tsuchiya is one of the first to have an interview for a job. However a street fight with some guys from another school the night before the interview ruins his chances of getting a job. Yankumi is upset, and works very hard to find jobs for her students, and they promise to not fight anymore until after graduation.

Yankumi gets to fight again in this episode. She takes out the gang of students that were picking on her boys. Her students get pretty beat up because of their vow not to fight. Later on, Yankumi lucks out when an unexpected supporter helps her renew her teaching contract in spite of the Chairman's opposition! A good deed paid off big time for Yankumi!
