EPISODE CONTEXT

As the first of twelve episodes, this premiere builds the entire foundation—the sisters' dual identities, their motivation to reclaim their father's stolen art collection, and the delicious irony of Hitomi's relationship with the detective hunting them. It establishes the cat-and-mouse dynamic between Cat's Eye and Toshio that will drive the season's escalating heists and romantic entanglements. Everything introduced here—the character relationships, the comedic tone, and the underlying mystery of the missing art—serves as the launchpad for the episodes ahead.
