Line 30: Line 31:  
Of course, the three models decide to run towards the gunshot sounds, and are soon captured in a net trap laid by a band of feral children reminiscent of Peter Pan's lost boys. They are bound and led to the children's citadel or perhaps their pole structure, where they are tried and sentenced to death. Miki appeals the sentence, offering a display of black magic. The locals are impressed by her sorcery, but then Juri and Michiru run into the citadel/pole structure to rescue the other three, reverting the locals to their previous pissed off and death-dispensing attitude. Once they are good and rescued, the five models promptly fall down a hole.

===Chapter 4: Ama No Hagoromo===
The hole is some kind of magical wormhole which whisks them out to the ocean and changes their clothes at the same time. There they decide to take off their sashes and prance around on the beach for a while. After a good prance, they go to retrieve their sashes, but find them missing. Following the scent of roasting fish brings them to a fisherman who has stolen their sashes. The fisherman says he will not return the sashes unless they perform a variety show for his entertainment. They do, so he does. The five Alices then walk through a mysterious red door which presently appears. (This episode is a corruption of the [[Wikipedia:Hagoromo_(play)|Hagoromo Densetsu]].)

===Chapter 5: The Dark Labyrinth===
The Alices find themselves in a long subterranean tunnel. The door disappears. They wander through the tunnel to a large cavern that contains a large Buddha statue. Each of the five models disappears one by one. Shoko, who has been having flashbacks to her childhood and generally doubting herself, is the last to disappear. (This episode ''might'' be loosely based on Lawrence Durrell's book of the same title.)

Reika has been whisked to a rural fishing town in the 1960's, where she finds a doppelganger of herself living a life she's never lived. She confronts the doppelganger and convinces her she is fake, and is then magically whisked back to the bus and joyously reunited with the waiting Shoko.

Line 44: Line 45:  
The five models are separated in Shizuoka City, having been whisked magically yet again, and furthermore their memories have been taken away and replaced with new ones. They wander around and have various adventures and the Queen of Hearts makes an appearance and it's all very nice until they meet each other and suddenly regain their true memories and are whisked back to the forest, magically. Juri expresses discontent at the course of recent occurrences and runs off in a huff, getting magically whisked away in the process.

I haven't watched this episode yet. Presumably, it brings about some kind of satisfactory climax and denouement to the series, because it's the last proper episode.
