Okay this post will REALLY be one of my supposed short summary and comments posts. I don't have much to say because time had passed since the last episode aired, although I do remember how things ended.
Shall we begin?
Story:
From where the story left off, Ran is saved by the anecdote but now a huge balloon is blowing up in the room. The monitor is asking for the password for the date when Sonoko was kidnapped. Sonoko, along with her "rich" childhood friends were caught up in a kidnap heist so to speak. Sonoko and the older sister were kidnapped while the younger sister had to follow the kidnappers directions in order to get them back. It turned out that this was all a hoax between the sisters and Sonoko just somehow was in the wrong place in the wrong time. Also that the older sister killed the younger one for the money.
Next story, Ran and Shinichi get caught up with a pervert who gropes Ran and is also a panty thief. They discover that this lady that constantly gets her panties stolen, used that idea to set up an electrical rig so that when a specific one gets yanked, it'll pull the electricity. The last night that this guy stole a pair of black undies from this lady was the night that the electricity to medical machines hooked up to her mother had shut off, thus letting her pass away.
Next, Shinichi comes across the boy detective from Osaka and they end up solving a case together..
Ran and Shinichi get freed from their cuffs from each other and end up getting separated into different rooms. Shinichi must input the password in order to get to Ran. The case he has to remember is him solving a case about a girl being raped.
Shinichi takes Ran out to a very fancy restaurant only to be disturbed by a crime that happened in the basement. A guy takes revenge on his boss for what had happened to his father. The person who solved that case years before was a famous detective... Shinichi's father.
A mysterious murder at a bank branch leads to an investigation done by Shinichi and Kogoro. They find out that a false crime, turned into murder, and in the end it was due to cloudy thinking of a guy who killed the woman that loved him.
Shinichi is under investigation for the death of Ran. A doctor that was seeking revenge had only slowed down her body system making it seem as if she were dead, but really she was under deep sleep. Shinichi finds out that Ran was the reason why the two of them (and Kogoro) were locked in the white room, but Ran had no idea that whatever happened in there was going to happen. Things in the end turn out for the best. After Ran healed, they finally get the date that they never get to have at an amusement park.
Comment:
The case stories did get better towards the end of the series, but to be honest, I wasn't particularly impressed with how it ended. Of course it will be some kind of dramatic ending, with the crazy doctor seeking revenge and stuff, but I kind of wished something else happened. Not that I have any ideas, but I just wish it was something else. It was also weird to see Kogoro outside when Shinichi awakens. He got left behind early in the series (but of course this was due to him filming other dramas as well, ie: Piece Vote) and he just randomly shows up outside saying he didn't know how he got there, he just woke up there. It's weird to me.
Also randomly having Sonoko in the episode. I guess it's just one last shot at getting her into the series before it ends. We also never get to see Eri again in the series after that one episode, although she was mentioned in the last one.
What I did like about the end of the series was that it left leeway for a 2nd season of this drama, which I'm sure it's going to happen since they called this "Meitantei Conan season 1" rather than just Meitantei Conan.
I guess overall I'd give it a 6/10. I liked it, but I didn't. I mean it was one of the better late night 30min dramas I've seen and the ratings really show it too.
