Heart Fever
Ruby sets up a date with a reporter who is both smart and good looking. Yumi is quiet, especially after believing she’s blown her chances with Bobby by claiming they should just be friends. Of course, as we found out from the previous episode, Bobby is also on the verge of going for a blind date too.
Yu-Mi decides to message Bobby instead, and they chat about their date and how it went. They also agree to meet up soon.
Thankfully, he’s still conscious when Yumi messages and they agree to meet at 10am. The Cells set to work trying to make sure they don’t blow this with Bobby and shine so they can actually get together after all and not be relegated to the friend-zone.
Yumi has had an effect on Bobby, who has cancelled his date because he wasn’t ready yet.
As a result of the launch of Heart Fever, Yumi can feel love even within Love cells, which allows her to chase Bobby.
The runner Yumi beat in the foot race from season 1 appears again in the same scenario, this time throwing a frisbee back to her. The effect is only temporary though, as the runner eventually catches up to Yumi. ..
Bobby and Yumi are dating and things are going great. However, Love Cell is still worried about being hurt again and doesn’t want to fully commit to the relationship. Begrudgingly, Love Cell does surrender to the idea of being with Bobby, but remains guarded.
The pair date, but while out together, Yumi falls into Bobby’s arms after falling down the stairs. Yumi is flustered, especially after being so close to him, and in the car that only exacerbates her feelings. In fact, when Bobby gives her a mint, she interprets it as him wanting to kiss.
Love Cell is concerned and worried that Yumi may get hurt again, and heads through to check out Bobby’s Cell Land. It’s very different to Woong’s frogs and this time, there’s even a big ol’ dance number to greet her too!
The Episode Review
Yumi’s Cells continues to do a great job bringing Bobby and Yumi together, with the introduction of the Cell Land at the end a nice touch too. It’s understandable that her Love Cell is being cautious and guarded, especially as we know she’s been hurt badly in the past before by Woong. ..
There are still some great throwbacks to the past in the park, especially when it comes to the frisbee and runner. These moments of nostalgia help to bridge the gap between the past and present.
The second season of Yumi’s Cells has been just as good as the first. There’s far less second-hand embarrassment this time, and a much more defined purpose and desire to show naturally blossoming love. Will Yumi open up and allow herself to feel that with Bobby? ..
