The Holy Mother's...Pandora's Box

"Holy Mother's... Pandora's Box" is the tenth episode of the anime series Love, Chunibyo &amp; Other Delusions. It was broadcast in Japan on December 6, 2012.

Synopsis
As Rikka mentions her feelings for Yuuta to Sanae, Yuuta also asks Makoto for advice on confessing to Rikka.

Afterward, Yuuta and Rikka try to work up the courage to confess to each other and, after some initial awkwardness, Rikka manages to confess first. Afterward, Tōka reveals to Yuuta that she will be doing restaurant training in Italy, meaning Rikka will be looked after by her mother, who was largely ignored by her following her father's death.

To this end, Tōka asks Yuuta to help Rikka grow out of her chuunibyou phase so she can get along with her mother. After running into Rikka's mother at the culture festival the next day, Yuuta ends up telling Rikka to remove her eyepatch, which doesn't settle well with her.

Meanwhile, Makoto asks Kumin to be his girlfriend, who responds simply, "No thank you".

During the after party, Rikka gets on stage and performs a song her father liked, "Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi o", then takes off her eyepatch (after the end credits) to reveal she is no longer wearing her yellow contact lens.
