All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
As expected, Nodame understood the importance of Chiaki's chance meeting with Vierra. The scene of them together after Chiaki got back was quite nice.
Other than that this episode wasn't all that much about Nodame and Chiaki so it didn't seem so important to me, especially with one character being totally new.
