What Happened in Episode 4?

In Dark Gathering Episode 4, Keitaro and his friends visit a college for orientation purposes. Eiko convinces Keitaro to attend the Spooky Stories and Urban Legends class demo sessions. After engaging with this class’s instructor’s tape, Keitaro gets cursed by the tape’s spirit. At the same time, we learn why Eiko values Keitaro as a friend through informative flashbacks. 

Yayoi devises a quirky and effective plan to prevent Keitaro from perishing by the spirit’s flame powers. Yayoi arrives home and lets her captured spirits teach the VHS spirit a lesson. Meanwhile, Eiko picks Keitaro up from the doctor and the two engage in an intimate conversation. Eiko returns home and we learn that she’s eerily obsessed with Keitaro. The episode closes with Keitaro questioning if he should accept Yayoi’s offer to fight and capture curses for Eiko and his sake.
