It starts off with some confusing, nearly incomprehensible family drama, about this little girl with a very strict/rich dad, and he blames the servants and beats them up whenever they let her do something as minor as going outside, and the girl cries... beyond that I can't really tell what's going on..
Then it goes to this high school kid who is working as a spy or something for an older lady. One day he accepts a job where he has to look after this little girl, the same one from that rich family. Apparently some bad guys are after her, and this high school boy's apartment is the safest place for her right now. The guy goes off to school, leaving the girl in the apartment alone, but when he gets back the girl had run away... He spends the night running around looking for her... The woman that he's working for, has some other woman find the kid before he does, and they conclude that this guy is trying very hard and should still be given another chance to take care of her...
When the high school guy finds the little girl, she is trying to hide the fact that she is crying, but he comforts her and she tells him about her dead mom...

Nothing much happens in this episode...
Murasaki meets Kurenai's neighbours, including this one woman who makes her living by exploiting guys.. and another woman who she starts watching soap operas with... at school, some girl who has a crush on Kurenai gets curious about why he's always talking to someone on his cell phone about food and stuff, as if he's living with someone. He lies and says that he's protecting some old man for his job. Kurenai's childhood friend, a nerdy girl, knows all about what he's doing though.
There's a really cute part later on where Kurenai takes Murasaki to a bath house, and the old lady working there gives her a free drink. Kurenai tries to get her to say thank you, but she just assumes that old lady is another one of her servants and there's no need to say thanks.. but he tells her that she's only doing it to be nice, and then she formally thanks her and apologizes for doing it so late...
