Ep. 20 'The Third Flower'
This week's episode of "Terrace House" starts off on a sad note as Kaori gets ready to move out to pursue her career in London, leaving Haruka and Ruka as the last original members still living in the house. To mark Kaori's departure, Ruka does what he does best — invents a new dish and prays that it tastes OK. This time it's noodles with fried tofu and tarako (salted cod roe) sauce. "I hope you remember this dish," he says earnestly to Kaori.

Ep. 14 'Just a Moment, Please'
It was a week of surprise twists, tearful goodbyes and shocking news, but before we get to the good stuff, we have to go over one exhausting subject: Ruka.

Ep. 13 'All or Nothing'
Welcome to Part 2 of "Terrace House Tokyo 2019-2020"!! Taking Sho-chan's place in the commentators' lounge for this episode is Rui Hachimura of the NBA Washington Wizards, which left everyone visibly shook. It turns out Hachimura is a super fan of "Terrace House." He's rejected every offer for TV appearances that have come his way, but he leapt at the chance to dish some snark with our favorite panel.

Ep. 12 'Always Chillin"
For this week's episode of "Terrace House," we are back to familiar territory. No more explosive fights and unexpected nude scenes. Instead, we have what the die-hard fans expect: slow-burning love and close ups of tasty food.

Ep. 11 'Broccoli Pasta, Carbonara Style'
There wasn't all that much love triangle drama this week and I am so okay with that. Instead, we got an eyeful of Shohei, Kaori dealing with a mini existential crisis and the appearance of an advice-dispensing silver fox.

Ep. 10 'The Boy That Gets Treated'
After last week's barn-burner of an episode, we needed a little bit of a breather. There are still plenty moments of joy this week, but first, let's get the Kenny-Haruka-Risako love triangle out of the way.

Ep. 9 'Girlfight'
If Episode 8 was like a long-lost episode of "Friends," then Episode 9 was straight out of "Gossip Girl." Did anyone else get stressed out watching Risako and Haruka go for each other's throats? I felt like I needed a stiff drink to recover and I have to wonder if we'll be getting our first departure from the house before long.

Ep. 8 'Passive Boys'
I'm just going to say it: Episode 8 of "Terrace House Tokyo 2019-2020" is the best episode of "Friends" that never made it to air. High jinks, misunderstandings, dating woes — it had everything.

Episode 7 of "Terrace House" picks up on the rooftop of the house without missing a beat. After the other members turn in for the night, Haruka and Risako remain to see who can get more alone time with Kenny, but eventually Haruka throws in the towel. For the moment, anyway.

Ep. 5 'Reiwa!!'
Previously on "Terrace House": Risako takes a drastic — some may even say desperate — step of winning the charming Ruka over by flat out telling him to "date me," in what has been one of the show's more exciting proclamations of romantic intent. Then, we have to wait two whole weeks for his response. After all that, I was on the edge of my seat as Episode 5 began and ... Ruka just laughs it off. Huh. That's it?

Ep. 2 'Tempura Incident'
Based on the title alone, my expectations going into episode two of "Terrace House" — titled "Tempura Incident" — were high. Viewers of the “Boys & Girls in the City” season are sure to remember the infamous “meat incident” of 2016 where the housemates ate a roommate’s special beef without saving him a piece. Would we be so lucky this early in the season to see the housemates embroiled in a similarly dramatic affair?
