Ep. 18: Idol Kana Matsumoto trains with SV2 to pilot Alphonse while facing a kidnapping plot
Aired on February 21, 1990

18
Idol singer Kana Matsumoto joins the SV2 for a week to learn how to use an Ingram. It is a blatant public relations exercise by the police chiefs, but Noa is a little apprehensive having Kana piloting Alphonse. Everyone else seems delighted to have such a big star staying as the SV2, especially Ohta, who is her number one fan. After Kana almost wrecks Alphonse, she pleads with Noa to train her. Noa does begrudgingly at first, but soon takes the task seriously. A criminal group is out to kidnap Kana, but accidentally kidnap Noa instead. They want to trade her for one of the Ingrams. Division 2 have to sort out this mess before Captain Goto finds out.
