Plot Overview
The episode starts off showing Ryoga Hibiki with a bunch of letters in his hands for Akane Tendo. Ryoga states that he can't find the mailbox (which is understandable because he's in a forest). Suddenly, a kid's voice can be heard. The kid jumped down, so that Ryoga can see who it is. It is Satori. Ryoga looks at him and thinks, "who is this kid?" Satori states "You just thought 'who is this kid?'". Ryoga is surprised, thinking "could this kid read minds?" Satori replies, "Yes, I can." Satori states that the only reason why he followed Ryoga was because he forgot one of his letters. Satori looks inside it, and sees a picture of Akane and P-Chan. Satori asks for the name of Akane. Ryoga tells him, and Satori leaves to find Akane and get to know her better, leaving Ryoga still searching for the mailbox.

Meanwhile, Ranma Saotome and Akane are outside Furinkan High School. Akane asks if Ranma can take her doll for the puppet show home for her. Ranma says yes, and mistakes the doll, which was supposed to be a princess, as a monster because of its bad stitching. Akane is angry and tells Ranma it was a princess. Ranma says he was joking; he knew it was a princess, not a monster. On his way home, Shampoo enters, and ruins the doll. Shampoo offers to fix the doll for a date. Ranma agrees, and Shampoo fixes it. Ranma goes back the the Tendo house.

When he gets home, he sees cookies and milk in the table. As he eats one, he hopes that Akane won't notice. Satori says what Ranma is thinking; Ranma takes a cookie and tries to hit Satori. Satori runs, and Ranma chases, with the rest of the family showing up. They ask Satori for his name, and he says, "you're not going to believe this, but it's Satori." Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome are confused, and Kasumi Tendo is the only one who understands. Satori says he is able to read minds. Nabiki Tendo says for him to read her mind; he sees piles of money, with Nabiki on top of them. Happosai then asked for his mind to be read; Soun warns Satori not to, but he does anyway. After reading Happosai's mind, he fainted.

When Satori wakes up, Akane is home. She'd heard the whole story about Satori, and asks for her mind to be read. Satori finds himself unable to do so, making everyone believe he is a fake. Satori tries to prove it with Ranma's accident with the doll. Ramna does everything in his power to shut Satori up. After a while, Nabiki explains to Satori that he can't read Akane's mind because he has a crush on her. Later, Ranma and Satori are up on the roof, fighting for the secret. While they are fighting, Akane comes up in time for both of them fall onto her, and all three almost fall off the roof. At that moment, Satori reads Akane and Ranma's darkest secret. When he was about to tell them, the three of them fall down.

Satori leaves back to the forest. The episode ends with Ryoga screaming, "where's the mailbox?!".
