Episode 16: "Cowbell of Happiness"

"What Goes Around Comes Around"

C-ko: Extra! Extra! Extra!
C-ko: Chuu chuu! That's easy. We only need to bell the cat.
C-ko: Chuu chuu! Oh, Nezutarou, how smart you are!
C-ko: Chuu chuu! But who ever will bell the cat?
C-ko: Chuu chuu! Don't worry about that. The cat has already been belled.
C-ko: Actually, I secretly put it on him just now.
C-ko: Chuu! Wonderful!
C-ko: Nezutarou-san, you're great!
C-ko: Master Cat, I went and spread the false information as we agreed.
C-ko: They all feel so secure that they must be sound asleep tonight, so you can catch and eat as much as you wish.
C-ko: So, as you promised, please let me pass.
C-ko: Mr. Cat... Hey...
C-ko: Chomp, munch, munch, munch...
Tsuwabuki: What goes around, comes around.
Utena: Exactly.

This one might sound familiar. It really rings of the "reap what you sow" phrase from the "Curried High Trip". These kinds of things really seem to happen a lot to Nanami...

If you want to read into this waaay too deeply, Touga is like the cat with Nanami and the mouse. Nanami is doing all his dirty work for him by taking care of the student council, but in the end Touga will just eat the student council and her too (possibly literally as well, but let's not get into that). Of course, Akio is messing with Touga in a similar way.
