"Wonder Egg Priority" Episode 7 recap

Warning: The episode deals with self-harm and the idea of a character attempting to kill herself.

Episode 7 entirely focuses on Rika and her traumatic journey to reconnect with her father. However, she remains unaware of his identity. Moreover, Rika's mother, Chiaki, seems to offer her no help when it comes to her father's identity.

It is Rika's birthday and her day starts on a grumpy note. Viewers will get the first glimpse of her troubled relationship with Chiaki.

Later, she meets Ai, Momoe and Neiru and she opens up about her mother. She shows them five photos of her mother with five different men and she believes one of them is her father. Rika goes on to question her mother's character.

After being chastised by Momoe and Neiru, Rika leaves. But Ai follows her and tries to comfort Rika.

Rika tells Ai how she dreams about meeting her father, who, in her mind, has a gentle voice and cares about her. She believes her mother is a liar and never wants her to meet him. As the episode progresses, Rika attempts to kill herself in her room, but she stops.

Later, a battle breaks out in the Wonder Egg world as Rika faces her inner demons. Instead of fighting, she decides to give up. Rika's pet, Manne, arrives at the time and saves her. She realizes there are people in the world who love her and she decides to live and fight for them.
