After one too many beatings, Keitaro begs Kitsune to help him with Naru's problems. Kitsune, in turn, arranges for a psychologist to go over Naru's history and to actually talk with her. Naru, naturally, is unhappy about this but agrees to go in for an evaluation, even though she says that Keitaro is all to blame.
The psychologist comes up with a theory: Based on the evidence, Naru has severe issues with her father, and desperately craves a paternal figure because she's from a divorced home. As Keitaro is the only male around, she beats on him due to conflicting feelings regarding him. So, the psychologist proposes an unorthodox solution: Roleplaying.
Keitaro plays the role of Naru's paternal figure, and the rest of the Hinata Sou goes along with it to provide Naru with a family, something she lost. Naru protests, naturally, and believes that the other tenants won't go along with it. However, she is wrong.
Kitsune, Haruka and Mutsumi support it because it'll help Naru get better. Motoko supports it because if Keitaro acts as Naru's father figure he won't be perverted. Su thinks it'll be fun. And Shinobu is thrilled... Until it turns out that Kitsune will be Naru's mother figure as she has some issues with her, too.
A little hypnosis courtesy of Su's technology and Keitaro is in the right mindset to treat Naru like his daughter. Kitsune cheerfully leaps into the role of mother figure. And Naru, while petulant and angry at first, begins to modify her behavior... Especially after Keitaro starts spanking her every time she lashes out violently.
Shinobu competes with Kitsune to serve as a better mother figure (and thus, wife to Keitaro), Motoko is pleased to be a big sister... Until Keitaro calls her on telling "Naru-chan" that all men are perverts, and insists she act better. And Mutsumi essentially plays the role of Kitsune's whimsical, live-in sister.
