Ranma is desperate to get Ukyo to hate him to ease the tension.

Continued from Previous Chapter
Ranma believes that the best way to get rid of Ukyo is to make her leave on her own accord. He plans on acting in a cruel manner towards Ukyo with hopes of dissuading her and leaving. He sees no problem in hurting his fiancée to the point of leaving him.

Meanwhile in Akane's room, Nabiki is trying to convince her to take him back. But as she begins talking she realizes how incompetent Ranma is and takes her leave, convinced that Akane made the right choice by being angry at him.

Dinner time rolls in and everyone gathers to the table. Ranma comes to see that the meal was made by Ukyo. He sees this is as the perfect opportunity to be mean to her by turning over the table and spilling the food. However, when he goes through with his plan, everyone else managed to salvage the food and only the table remained turned. Ranma was then left in an awkward position where the rest of the household calmly stared at him. Soun then kicks him through the roof for attempting to waste food.

Mean Ranma
Ranma's next plan is to splash himself with an alcoholic beverage. He imagines causing disturbance while under influence of alcohol, but as soon as he steps in the house he is doused with water and turns sober.

Now a girl, Ranma puts on a lipstick and begins kissing her shirt so Ranma would think him to be unfaithful. But before he can go through with his plan, Ukyo catches him with the lipstick and turns her back into a man.
