Funny story. You're going to laugh. I (Katie) mixed up the order of these two episodes (14 & 15). Luckily, as this one is a mostly a clip show, it shouldn't be a huge problem for those of you watching along with us. So this is actually episode 14, and should be watched before the previous episode, "They longed for others' lips..." Terribly sorry about that, please forgive me.

Anyway, in this episode, Ada...
