BabanBabanBan Vampire episode 7 recap

BabanBabanBan Vampire episode 7, titled Vampire in a Bind, began with Franken bringing his sister, Aoi Shinozuka, to Koi Bathhouse to get her to meet with Rihito outside school. Afterward, Umetaro Sakamoto showed up as well, which was all part of his and Franken's "Rihito Aoi Marriage Association" plan.
After Franken and Umetaro get into the bath with Rihito, they try to convince him to confess his feelings for Aoi to her. Upon realizing what they were up to, Ranmaru tried to get them out of the bath by increasing the temperature of the water. While his plan did work at first, it was immediately thwarted when Rihito's father came in to take a bath.
Ranmaru's efforts to protect Rihito from Aoi would then continue to get bested by Umetaro, Franken, and even Rihito's father when the latter realized that his son was in love with Aoi. He even proposed playing a game of Old Maid together, where the loser would have to announce who they had a crush on in front of everybody.

An intense battle of wits ensued, with Ranmaru trying to prevent Aoi and Rihito from losing, while the others tried to get them to lose. Fortunately for Ranmaru, the loser of the game ended up being Rihito's father. However, after the game, Rihito's father suggested that they all stay the night at his house - much to Ranmaru's dismay.
Having to sleep in the same room with Franken, Umetaro, and Rihito almost caused Ranmaru to lose control over his urges. As such, he decided to go out hunting to quench his thirst. After returning, he saw Aoi outside the house, which prompted an awkward conversation between them.
Scared that Rihito might see them together and get the wrong idea, Ranmaru took Aoi to a rooftop, partially hoping that the experience of flying with him would scare her off. After this, the two had a conversation where they both confessed that they liked someone - Aoi thought that Ranmaru had fallen for her, whereas Ranmaru deduced that she must definitely be in love with Rihito. Eventually, the two went back when the sun came up, following which the episode came to an end.
What to expect from BabanBabanBan Vampire episode 8?
